    Fitzgerald is back and Smith gets an MRI today on his injured knee.

    BTW Hoyer now out with a broken arm in Chicago.

    Edit: And the Giants are now 4-3 and only a game and 1/2 behind the boys, so I don't think so. They actually have a legit D. It's the Jets or nobody now.

  • Damn, missed that. Oh well, still think we get a win next week, Ryan Beardpatrick stepped in it good an proper when he said everyone had quit on him.

    Yep, but they did respond to him and he led them to the win yesterday.

  • Indeed, but I still can see us pulling out the W there.

    In related news, through game seven, we've had five road games, and only two home games (ravens and patriots). The second half of the season - basically every team is a tough game because we're that bad, but being at home for six out of nine should help a decent amount.

  • Chris, if primary edge rushers come around the edge unchecked...thats always on the o line. You just typo'd there right?

    I understand where you're coming from on this. And you should be right. With the World Series here this week and the team going nowhere for so many years now, locally, they are becoming an afterthought. There will be so many fans from opposing teams here that it may as well be a road game. It's been going that direction for some time now and not getting better. Say.. "Go Tribe" or "Go Cav's" out loud anywhere in NE Ohio and you will get a fist pump and a YA! Back at ya. Say "Go Browns" out loud.......crickets chirping and people snickering is the only thing you will hear back. And it's not about a SB either. We just want to be relevant again.

    Depends on the scheme? Might be relying on a tight end to block (seen it happen), might be looking for a quick out that doesn't give time for the rush to develop, which in turn was covered, could be looking for a running back to chip, could be a bunch of different things.

    Besides, it certainly wasn't always primary edge rushers coming through unchecked, but blitzers as well.

    Almost everytime primary rushers come unchecked u see a quick pass tonthe other side or an underneath route to a spilling out RB. Those are usually easy to see even if they get botched. I saw normal pocket protection that just plain missed stunting rushers. It happens to every o line i get that. But clearly indicative by our decades long rebolving door at qb more often than mot because of injury, the browns just have a generational inability to keep our QB's upright

    If they're putting 8 men 'in the box' (I hate clichés), then the best OL in the world is going to leave someone unblocked. You need your TEs to pitch in, you need to not give their a chance to get home.

  • I still say the Browns win a couple before it's over. At Ratbirds, home vs NYJ or SD.

  • The home divisional games could be winnable. If this team improves just a little bit at each position - likely, with rookies - then the whole becomes a lot better.

    Is your statement based on knock-downs? I ask because we are nowhere near on-pace for the sacked-by record...

  • As of now it looks like the JETS are the only team we can get a win against, but iam not calling it a sure win.

  • Which one is Zombo ?

  • I may be nuts but, regardless of W-L record, this Team is playing harder & with more heart than last year. They are certainly more fun to watch & don't give up when down by 2 scores (or more).

    I have no idea when the 1st win will come, but I'll still be rooting for 'em when it does.

  • When will the first win come?

    Best chance is a Christmas gift from the Chargers.

    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

  • Browns beat the Jets on Sunday

  • I'm not sure I want them to win! We need the first pick and it better be a QB with HOF potential! I said before Chicago, Jets, 49ers are all in line for a first round QB. If Hue doesn't realize Kessler is not the future than we are in for another decade of misery.

    I don't understand why they are playing McCown? Can't we play Hogan? Does anyone think McCown will last a full game? He's pushing FORTY on the worst team in football! What do we accomplish playing Josh?

    If anyone is seriously thinking Kessler or Hogan might be the future then why play McCown? To win one maybe two games? Nothing the Browns do makes sense anymore?? Especially the last draft? Without a QB what good is all those Wide Recievers? I can't figure this front office out! It's seems hopeless with Haslam as the owner. What was wrong with Carson Wentz? Bosa? Elliot? Go back further; Kalhil Mack, Derek Carr? Garapolo? Vic Beasley, Aaron Donald, Eddie Goldman, Marpit?

    GO TRIBE

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • I will say even though we are dead last and seem to lose in every way possible, I still love being a part of this board and hearing what you guys say. Some of you may or may not be trying to be funny, but either way you make me lol a good bit and that makes the loss easier to digest. We are the 12th man together.
