    I sometimes have to play Churchill to Hoorta's Chamberlain.  He will often appease enemy aggressors (opposing team trolls) , whereas I will fight them on the beaches, I will fight them on the land, I will fight them in the hills, I will fight them in the streets, I will fight them in the air.  I will never surrender, but if a large part of the Browns homeland should ever be subjugated and starving,  I will fight you from our empire beyond the seas, in England, and in Spain where we have sympathizers that will give us succor.  These colours shall never run.

    Gip, if the invaders are polite- or mostly polite, I let them be. OTOH, that smart ass uppity Raven troll got shown the door in short order....

    Ain't nobody worried about the Bills, that's the worst 6-2 team I ever saw. Josh Allen is Rob Johnson 2.0, a tall white stiff who can't throw for crap and the defence is severely overrated plus they suck away from home. Browns 27 Bills 6

    Look at Mayfield Bro. Josh is better in every stat possible including WINS. Stop it. Browns are so overrated. Talent players but they are not a team. Players care more about the appearance of their cleats than playing the game. See you Sunday.

    Um, and this is what NFL.com had to say about your Bills.....   

    TWO TEAMS THAT ARE WEAKER THAN THEIR RECORDS

    Buffalo Bills (6-2)

    Only five teams -- the 8-0 49ers, 8-1 Patriots, 7-1 Saints, 7-2 Packers and 7-2 Seahawks -- have a better record than the Bills, but it's hard to mention this group in the same breath as them, because Buffalo's schedule to date has proven so soft. The Bills have only faced two teams who are currently above .500, and they lost to both (the Patriots in Week 4 and the Eagles in Week 8), while the combined record of their six vanquished opponents sits at 9-42. They're in great shape to earn a playoff berth, seeing as how 80.8 percent of teams to start 6-2 since 1990 have reached the postseason, and it'll be a notable accomplishment for a franchise that has been to the playoffs just once since 1999. But with an offense that is averaging just 336 yards (23rd) and 19.8 points (22nd) per game, this has all the earmarks of being a one-and-done postseason squad.

    The big question in both the short and long term for Buffalo is whether or not Josh Allen can develop into a bona fide franchise quarterback. There is no question that Allen is better than he was as a rookie in 2018, but he still ranks toward the bottom in a variety of key statistical categories, including completion percentage (60.9, 27th), yards per attempt (6.8, 24th), quarterback rating (82.9, 26th) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (10:7, 25th).

    Ah...but those are the most insipid of invaders.  They try to take over without you knowing it.  Or they even ask you to invite them in.  To continue with a theme, see Anschluss.   (or see Putin/Trump)

  • Hi guys---- I'd suggest not responding to the obsessive compulsive Raven flamer who somehow managed to get back on the Board.... the Mods will summarily delete anything he posts the minute we see it, as well as any replies- & ban him indefinitely- so don't waste your time- we'll take care of it..  🙂

    I tried to play nice with you but since you want to be a pompous ass dick well technically you are wrong like the fool you are. Technically Buffalo sits on the eastern side of Lake Erie and and Cleveland sits on the southern side of Lake Erie and NOT the middle so next time you want to give a geographical lesson and please know what they fuck you are talking about. People like you would only sound smart to a idiot.

    Your implication was that Cleveland was " on the opposite side"  of Lake Erie from Buffalo...which it is not.  Maybe in addition to geography you should go back and repeat 4th grade English.

    Don’t put words in my mouth. I said what I said which was your side of Lake Erie. Whether it was NORTH , SOUTH, EAST or WEST. I was correct in saying “your side of Lake Erie” You said Cleveland was in the MIDDLE which is definitely NOT correct.

    Just face it you speaking about something that you don’t know shit about. It’s no different than the spell check heroes who want to correct people on grammar but at the same time they use words that don’t even exist OR spell things incorrectly. 
     

    Just say in your lane and keep the conversation to the NFL. Can you even get that right.

    Advanced stats say Allen is worse. He has a worse QBR, worse DVOA, and worse DYAR. 

    DVOA and DYAR are like WAR in baseball, so compared to a replacement level QB, Allen is worse. Allen also has fewer passing yards.

    You don't need these advanced stats to tell you Allen is pure garbage though, you can easily tell that by watching him play ?

    You couldn’t keep up with any subject I may be able to challenge you with. I didn’t put words in your mouth. Your mouth just didn’t express your words very well

  • @the-gipper said:

    Well, that is fine, you don't have to be a geography major to know basic American Geography.  That is  like  3rd/4th grade stuff.  You did go at least that far in school, didn't you?

    I've been thinking about that one, I didn't know that we had such a job as being a (or the?) official troll ? hammer.   I'd love to see the job description on that one.  😆

    And does it take balls to do that job?  I thought all you really needed was an ignore button.....but occasionally it can be fun to just mess with them before "Larry the Hammer" comes in and exits them out.

    Any  path to the play offs ended for me at Denver. Denver was a must win. It was the first game of the favorable schedule we had to win to make a run and we didn't get the job done.  I think the Browns will beat the Bills this week and I think they will have some more nice wins this year but I think we are going to fall short of the play offs and we will look back to the Denver game we should have won as the reason we didn't make it.

    All must win games left is never a good scenario.  

    2017 to 2018 to 2019 was a huge disappointment.

    I don't disagree with Denver turning point, but Buff is even better at stopping offenses from scoring.

    2018 without Huey was far more hopeful, but Freddie / Baker are making pumpkin pie ?? in October / November 2019.

    Buffalo had a weaker schedule in the beginning and unlike the Browns with Denver took care of business and beat the teams they should have beaten. I predicted the Browns would beat Denver and I thought they would beat them convincingly (and they might have done it if they wouldn't have missed so many opportunities). So being wrong in my first prediction I'll step out on a limb and predict the Browns will finally put together a complete game, play up to their potential and get a nice win at home against the Bills. Famous last words, we'll see.

    And I put down $500 and took the Buffs +3 points for a win against us. Of course my wife only allows me to play on the playmoney betting site, so there's that.?

    In two weeks I had turned $600 in starter money into over $1700. She didn't like that. Thought it might encourage me to open a real Vegas sports betting account.?

    I almost hate to say but I'm more interested in OHIO STATE vs Michigan and the BIG TEN finish and the playoffs than the BROWNS......sad.

    The biggest trolls on this board since I've been here in August 2016 have been the BROWNS performance on the field..... again sad.

    GO BROWNS, forever a diehard fan..... naturally!
