RG III to start against Bengals

  • At least you guys can watch it on TV! Be thankful you have a team in Cleveland.

    If RG3 is still mobile he will be running A LOT! But that's ok too. Cincinnati has to prepare for that and they're pretty awful this year.

    I predict a stunning win for the Browns with Crowell and Pryor scoring at least one TD a piece. I also think Seth Devalve scores! Hue should take a page out of Belicheck's playbook and run two tight ends who can block for the pass.

    Browns 24 Cincinnati 21

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Do we have two TEs who can block for the pass? 😉

    Hey, one of the guys on the NFL morning show agrees with you that this is the win week.

    Pluto's on board as well... the Cleveland sportswriter... not the Disney dog.

  • How many balls did he throw into people's ankles today?? Looked like the ball was stuck to his hand!! His long balls ,unlike earlier this year, were straight hail Mary's. Early in the year he hit those in stride. Today they looked like punts. Experiment over. Put Kessler back in.

    Waiting for Hueless to say "it was the rust". The weather probably isn't going to be any better in Buffalo this coming Sunday. Posted it in another thread- Griffin's performance brought back (bad) memories of Akilli Smith. 104 yards, and a qbr of 38- just special I tell ya.

    With the 49ers choking, I have to say it- "Just lose baby". I'd rather go 0-16 and have the #1 pick than a meaningless 1-15 record.

    What are the rules as far as tie breakers go for the #1 pick?

  • Bob Griffin is awful. That's why they dumped him in Washington and that's why we will have to dump him here. Hopefully Kessler with a little help can become as good a game manager as Kirk Cousins.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • RG3 looked horrible today whether in draft or free agency hopefully they realize they need a qb!!!!!

    I've posted it in another thread BB. It's strength of schedule. If we wind up tied with the 49ers- we're screwed. The League figures all things being equal- if you've played teams with fewer wins- you must suck worse. We have several common opponents with them- Cowboys, Patriots, Jets, Bills, Dolphins. So toss those out. They've played a much weaker division schedule- Rams, & the Cardinals and Seahawks losing today didn't do us any favors. (those count X2) Plus they've played the lousy Bears and Panthers. I suppose if SOS turned out identical, it would be head to head. I don't think it goes past that, the next would probably be a coin flip.

    OTOH, we have the (better) Ravens and Steelers X2, Redskins, Titans and Giants.

    San Fran finishes out with the Falcons & Rams on the road, and home against the Seahawks. The game today with the Jets was their best chance at a win. Their odds of winning any of those are not good. Of course I think our chances of winning any of our remaining three aren't exactly stellar either. 🙂

  • Line up the starting QB with three unmarked receivers. First team to complete a pass loses.

    They should play the toilet bowl as a tiebreaker

  • The flea flicker play where RG3 decided to literally throw into triple coverage instead on 1v1 with Coleman should just about put a bow on this experiment.

  • Experiment not going well, indeed.

    Two Starts, 44.4%, 294 yds, 0 TD 2 INt 46.4 Rating

    Cody Kessler's first two starts (ever):

  • I have no idea what Hue Jackson was thinking. RG III didn't even look like he could complete the easiest of passes for most of the day. There were many awful examples, but the worst for me was the throw to Devalve in the redzone. We desperately needed a first down, and Robert threw the ball 2000 miles per hour about 8 feet over the tight end. Devalve wasn't wide open, but he was OPEN. An accurate throw is a near sure first down, and a decent throw to the athletic Devalve gives us a shot. The announcers were like, "WTF was THAT?" The same reaction we all had.

    Yeah, the weather isn't doing him any favors, and I'd give ANYTHING to have a dome game, or a game at San Diego. But no...this is US we're talking about here. Our two remaining road games are against the damn Bills and the Steelers. Let's just say it will be miserable playing conditions...yet again. And of course our home game against the Bolts will be just perfect conditions I'm sure. The weather is no excuse, as Dalton appeared to be doing well enough, but I'm sure it doesn't help a guy who hasn't played hardly at all in three years. What a cluster chicken.

    And Hue ALREADY said that RG III is starting against the Bills?! REALLY?! Hue said that, "RG III proved that he belongs out there." REALLY?!!! Maybe Hue is just honing in on that first pick, LOL. The only thing RG III does is present the threat of running, and you could see how that affected the defense. The running game didn't come to life for no reason. But if he can't complete the smallest of passes, what's the point?

    Maybe I should get off his back. Maybe I should try to understand that it's been a while for him...but my GOD. A ZERO QB RATING in the first half? If we just got ONE TOUCHDOWN in the first half, we'd have been in that damn game. UGH.
