Hahaha.....it IS so.....and we almost always agree, so no sweat here at all..... Im not embarrassed to admit what I felt.....Im a fan after all..... and I never have issues admitting when Im wrong, cause that happens too....plus, it gives me more cred in the end

Like I said....I never wanted to cut or release him.....I just wasn't going to defend him OR let him effect my feelings for the team and the season ahead.....and, at the time, I guess I was wishing we took that #1 Banner was supposedly offered....

Now?.....I think Ill just keep him and see how it plays out....and I have faith that he'll do great!.

I admit it. I was one of the ones who kind of said that.....

Say it ain't so, Mud...

I have no memory of any specific member's stance on Gordon, but if forced to guess, then I might be right on one or two... never would have guessed you.

Object of my post was fun, not to embarrass others... and especially not one of my main Browns brothers...

I admit it. I was one of the ones who kind of said that..... Didn't want to "cut" him, but was at least prepared to move on without him.....and If he eventually showed up.....GREAT!!!!....and if not, oh well, wasn't gonna cry about it either.

NOW.....I am very happy and love him(again). I am putting faith that he's seen the light and, therefore, will play lights out!

BUT....If he screws us(again). I will be mad(again)..... Etc.

I'm just happy he came back this late and we have something to play for still.

Yea I don't know enough about corner technique, but he seemed to react based on the body language of the receiver, which worked - but probably better to play the ball (since he lost a step, maybe he did the right thing though). I'm not complainin' cuz it worked.

Oh yeah, I'm not complaining about Gilbert. He covered well, just I see what's coming and his back is turned so I assumed he didn't see what was coming.

Yeah I was yelling at Gilbert thru the TV "turn around"!!!

Even with the tip, if Skrine (I think it was him) had been there just a couple steps sooner...

-Next game watch how smooth and non-chalant he is while catching a football. Its like everything is in slow motion and hes on 100. Its like nothing to him to pop it up to himself full speed and grab it.

-He was mad about some of the Hoyer throws. You could see it. He could have had (id say should have) had about 200 today. For good or bad its very clear he wasnt happy.

-Hes a really good run blocker. Sometimes he just runs the db clear away from the play.

-Anyone see the dudes pressers? I really believe he was heartbroken to sot out 10 weeks. He was really emotional, so happy thr team was winning. He literally deflected every question to , CANT let the team down. Good stuff.

Even with the tip, if Skrine (I think it was him) had been there just a couple steps sooner...

And, there is a maturity about Gordon - Never saw him fired up before yesterday.

He was really invested in the team, it seems. Can't wait til the next game.

And, he threw the most beautiful incomplete pass of the game !

Targeted many more times that should have been completions, too. Pretty scary

Also, how about the other JG Gilbert's big play at the end? Almost knocked it into an INT which would have ended the game right there.

Secondary in general played outstanding yesterday. We're going to have a scary group back there for years to come. Nice blitzes by K'waun too. Hopefully Gipson gets well soon.

One last thing, I loved how gordon had the catch near the sideline, had nowhere to go but initiated contact and plowed over Trufant for the extra yard.

That being said, he did seem to lose track of the ball a few times, and wasn't on the same page as Hoyer as to where he was going to be all the time. That was pretty much to be expected, though.

120 yards receiving on his "rusty" return. Yeah I'm OK with that.

That being said, we saw what it's like to have a guy with his speed, size, etc. out there (quite nice it was). We just need him to put down the pipe, because he's proven he isn't sly enough to not get caught.

Had a lot of YAC. The ones that stood out for me were the two LOS passes and then blazing up the field. It all happened too fast, but how many blocks did he get with those runs? Players from both sides were surrounding him, so there had to be some, but I didn't catch any obvious key blocks.
