    I think this old brain has forgotten more than half of what I used to use. I'll have to go to language school in Madrid a couple of months before 

    I come your way just to get back to 2/3s. Having lost so much hearing makes it even more difficult whatever the language used. They need an

    earhorn emoji on this thing.??

    Most of what I've learnt hasn't been thanks to teachers, but to my internet forum/video/game quests since I was 14... I learned a lot of English making friends in Call of Duty 2. But thanks for the compliments, heh. And I'm looking forward to practising Spanish with you, cousin!

    .... Are there english words used in COD beyond gay and racial slurs?  Toss in the occasional "your mom" for good measure.

    LOL. Back in the day, I joined a community there with quite respectful people who didn't tolerate shit. It was quite an experience. Hard to come by such place in FPS games nowadays... 

  • Colts average 305 YPC.... we average 5.9.

    That is a hell of a stat   305 yards per catch....or is that per carry.  Either way.

    No,  just from Kawliga, by Hank Williams.  I learned one word:  Kawliga.

  • The Colts are a solid team on both sides of the ball. Definitely the best team we played since week 1. I still don't have a lot of confidence in the Browns defense but I think they have slowly gotten better each week. Even giving up 38 last week, they did a lot of that playing soft and rushing 4 and dropped about 4 picks in the process. So slowly better but still lots of work to do. If the Browns can win this Sunday I think it dramatically changes the expectations for this team.

    But we aren't talking about 1 year, is 20 enough?

    Unless I am mistaken Berry and Stef were just hired this past Spring.

    I could swear that is what happened... 😕

    What is considered a "Turkey"  for a DL?     QB sack/strip/return for TD.....or something else?  (Or, like a Turkey in Bowling....which is 3 strikes in a row....is it 3 sacks on the day?)

    Jacob Phillips stepping up would really be a breath of fresh air.

  • OK, so,  you can't fix everything in one year.   But I will give it to Berry that he made some attempts at helping/fixing the defensive back 7.   Drafted Delpit and Phillips. Injury to Delpit unfortunate. Picked up Goodson.  

    Still, I thought/think there were some moves that could have been made for a veteran LB that have been left on the table. 

  • It was years ago but NEVER forget...The Colts kept the 10-6 Browns out of the playoffs by starting Jim Sorgi and completely looking like dog poo during that game.  I went to Gabriel’s and bought a oddly fitting Colts shirt and wore a dang Colts shirt that day 
     

    The Colts suffered - they were clearly rusty two weeks later and got ousted early from the playoffs but they kept the Browns out of the playoffs.

    OK, so,  it seems a fair amount of effort has gone into this....so I ask the question that I previously had an entire thread on:   What went wrong?  Injuries, OK.  Inexperience?  Or are the guys we got just not good enough?

    Well.... if they don’t trade for a starting linebacker and someone wakes up at safety.... id have a tough time favoring them in any matchup. 
     

    This offense better be prepared to put up 35+ a game to win if they leave it as is....

    I don't see how this defense gets markedly better... The LBs generally are very green and the secondary is perpetually an injury mess.

    The upside is that this schedule, that looked kind of tough I suppose going into the season, now looks weak beyond a handful of games.

    they won't....they have miles garrett and an occasional qb pressure from 1 of the dl....the secondary can't catch a cold .....what happened to vernon....what a bust.....we need alot of d.......they are not very solid at all.....

  • The Yahoo Pick'em line opened at Browns (+1.0) Monday... jumped to 2.5 Tuesday... and then dropped to 1.5 today.

    Not unusual for a line to move, but then to reverse? Unusual...

  • I look for another good weekend for the AFCN including outmatched Cincinnati an interesting game at Baltimore.  Pittsburgh should handle Philadelphia at home and our BROWNS can beat Indy at home at 4:25.

    GO BROWNS, 4-1 really ? Oh yeah.....baby !

    Colts injury report may have something to do with that.

    Not the kind of game where you want your best Tackle out and two starting LBs
