I had Diggs on a fantasy football team once, and his numbers were not good. Then, later on, he left the Vikings....went to Buffalo.

Interesting article: Allen wouldn't be having the success he is having, without Diggs and Beasley.

There was one play where a LB was trying to cover Beasley. He was so mismatched that Beasley was open by about 15 yards after the guy took the first fake step in and then back on an out route. It was laughable. In fact I did laugh wondering whose brilliant idea that was for a coverage. Is Hue there now??

Well, it was no-show Joe...  

Have to mention they had a little spot during the game- Palmer worked like crazy on Allen's mechanics- which were a mess. Not often you can do something like that, but with an Elway arm and 1\2 decent accuracy now. Buffalo has a definite keeper at QB.

Well that would be because Haden is a beast you cut entirely too soon. We were also down Steven Nelson so while Sutton is very solid, Justin Layne is still a little raw.

Cal can take a bow- Allen's accuracy has improved by orders of magnitude since his college days. There was never any question he could throw the ball out of the stadium on demand.

well, he doesn't have much going for him in Columbus - he envies real genuine NFL fans who are not fair weather freaks.

Do you think with your brain power and diehards combined the two of you could outwit Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern show? I have my doubts.

I have always said I want to see the Browns run a no-huddle.

Just posted in another thread that I think this takes Stef away from his preferred personnel groupings. But, as usual 2nd thoughts happen...

We could quickly go to the line in case the D tries to make a change. If they do, then quick snap for a cheap 5, but if they don't then huddle up and make any subs we want to make. Of course they will be able to respond, but so be it. Only drawback is by the time the refs allow us to snap the play-clock could be too low to allow audibling either the play or the protection.

I have always said I want to see the Browns run a no-huddle. I would like to see the Browns get up to the line of scrimmage preventing the Steelers from rotating players in the game. If we tire them out early, we have a definitive advantage in the running game with Chubb and Hunt. I would also like to see more sets that get them out of their base defense.

No, I'm glad they lost. It serves as a wake up call. They have played like shit for two straight weeks. Go back to political purgatory.

You really like tooting that little kazoo don't you gipper?  You don't bother me, I can also say with a great deal of confidence you have never "put me in my place" or made me reevaluate a position.  If I ever stop responding or choose not to engage it is ONLY because i don't care for the run around anymore.  You don't own anyone, you sure as shit have never owned me and the hivemind here only goes so far.  You aren't the board celebrity you think you are and I get a kick out of it.

Honestly don't see that in Gip as he'll take any position just to argue.

Of course he can't help himself as he is a lawyer...

I take the positions I take because primarily they are the winning/correct positions to take....for the most part.  It is only very rarely that I will take a contrarian view just to be contrary. 

And actually, more than anything lately, because I am a magistrate I am listening to two sides of an argument and making a decision based on the arguments of others.

Well...it is a "hive mind"  to this extent:    I treat you like a fly and pull your wings off just for fun.  I don't know if flies live in hives....but if you prefer to think of yourself as a bee having his wings plucked....very well then. 

@vagitron said:

Just telling the truth.

 You don't bother me,

What makes you think that give one single thought about you on here except when I am responding to you?

I can also say with a great deal of confidence you have never "put me in my place" or made me reevaluate a position.

Again what makes you think this has fuck all to do with you?  Either you are a narcissist.....or you have an inferiority complex....either thinking everything is about you....or that people are always talking about you. 

  If I ever stop responding or choose not to engage it is ONLY because i don't care for the run around anymore. 

No one cares whether you do or you don't. 

You don't own anyone,

Of course not.  Have you ever heard of the  13th Amendment? 

you sure as shit have never owned me and the hivemind here only goes so far.  You aren't the board celebrity you think you are and I get a kick out of it. Thanks for the laughs old man river. 

Well, based on the fact that you made this post all about me when the subject had nothing to do with you......apparently I AM the board celebrity...at least in your mind.

That's a ballsy post I must say lol

Well....as badly as the Browns have been mismatched against the Steelers over the last number of years,  their fans have equally been mismatched against us.

Bless your heart. 

Somewhat....at least I believe it about the ones that show their faces here occasionally. 

My view is that it is NOT  when your team is going very well over a long period of time that is the test of a fan base....but how that fan base reacts to a sustained period of losing that tests their metal.  

Fair to say.
