Dallas's backup qb's looked dismal. I think they need to check the waiver wire eventually......

Gilbert isn’t bad. What they really should worry about is giving dak all that money. Insane.

Most of Dallas defense is a who's who of he-was-good-before-injury.. Happily, steelers starters couldn't open running lanes for Harris against Dallas backups.

Garrett Gilbert looked uninterestingly useful; other than Claypool senselessly laying out and getting hurt on a bomb, Mason Rudolph looked scarily bad.. it wouldn't shock me if Haskins is already the #2.

It’s the hall of fame game man, how can anyone make a determination about anything with any team playing in the preseason? It’s vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. Talking about the preseason as a indicator for anything is goofy to say the least.

terday and missed the whole thing, first time ever !

Forgot about it myself, until only a couple minutes left, but stayed up for the replay. Right side of the DAL OL blew back the PTG DL on a couple runs... I loved it! PTG can still pressure the QB tho still very aggressive on the edges sharp contrast to the run D where they were pretty passive as a unit, but them it's a new D so rookie DE Quincy Roche replaced Watt and did a nice imitation threatening to blow by the DAL LT before converting seed to power and rocking the retreating OT on his way to a sack... Najee looked OK at best. Snell and Ballage looked as good or better... OL is still suspect. Not sure why Mason Rudolf is still there. Haskins looked good on two PA roll-outs to the right... going 2 for 2 to the TE in the flat (same play), but needs a lot of work on his touch. Missed a short cross badly when he riffled it. New Punter (R-7 pick) looks strong.

 DAL D looks interesting... especially with Micah in the middle. Kid looked the part of the best defender in the draft. Also have the UM rookie CB kid has recovery speed. 2 of DAL's 4 projected DL starters are on the PUP list and did not play.

At least to this point I don't duck inside to sit and watch one of the hundreds of TV's,  but I might go down to grab a dog or something and not be in a huge rush to get back to the seat.  I might even stand in there and eat .  I try not to miss when we are on D because that is when we are the 12th man and can make all the noise we want.

Ahhhh yes hindsight is always 20/20 or better,  the coulda, shoulda, woulda game.

Something I generally avoid in my investing, but when it's a ten-bagger as I believe this would have been, then I make an exception....

Juju can dance until his heart is content. I frankly hate all the old fucks that follow him around like he’s breaking the law because he’s having fun. I will say he probably shouldn’t be dancing on logos but I don’t believe it was with the same intent as say what t.o used to pull. You really are trying to take up the gipper mantle with this one tho. Poorly researched opinions. (Sorry gipper) 

We aren’t going to mention claypool? How is Diontae Johnson Ab jr? Because he’s small? Our 4th wr would get starter reps on a lot of teams. You can save those critiques. Our offensive coordinator was easily one of the worst in the league too. Harris I believe will be offensive rookie of the year AND the line will be better this year. People get caught up in name recognition. Pouncey hasn’t been “good” for the last two seasons at minimum. Decastro was hurt and Villanueva is seriously overrated and always has been. I also couldn’t care less about the Vegas odds. Are the book makers in Vegas playing the football games? Get ready to eat some crow. ?

We shall see..?1?

Swap out AB jerseys for the logo dancer juju and (ABJr) and Dionte Johnson ABJr Jr.  Worried more about their Brand than winning games.

Dont even start me.on Bens stats from last year...

The O/U  for games won for the squeelers is 8.5

Their O line is in shambles..

Ben will last 3 games..

Dude, people were dragging their James Harrison jersey behind cars when he left. You aren’t going to see any brown or bell jersey’s at that game unless it’s fairweathers which exist in ALL the fan bases with a bunch of success. 
 

As far as your prediction is concerned our line legitimately cannot be worse than it was last season. Fitchner is gone and the team added a bell cow. You are drunk to think they won’t win seven games, they won 11 straight with one of the most anemic offenses in the league with Randy leading the charge. I nearly let this one go in gippers honor but I couldn’t bear it.

I am not sure what he is talking about.  My tickets have been in my account for a good month now, and I am not sure where the Titans come in to play?  He had to have meant Texans. I know he gets his tickets through a buddy who is the ticket holder of record and he splits the tickets with his buddy.  Maybe his friend just hasn't sent them over to him yet?

Well, guess I've just flat out been lazy. I'll check today. I do have full access to the account.  

What we did find out in 2019 is if we decide to sell any games- sell them directly out of the master account.  Transferring the tickets to me, and then me selling them creates an unholy mess. Sold out of the master account,  the money goes directly into Don's checking.  OTOH, it took me months and a couple calls to our ticket reps for me to get reimbursed.  LOL, eventually I actually got an official check from the Browns. If it hadn't been for $300 bucks, I would have framed it.

Me too, I haven't been to North Port or Port Charlotte for a game yet, so maybe we can do a "home & home".

Sounds good.  I am almost always down there for a week or two during spring training.  I can go to spring training games or hang with my wife and her 95 year old mother.

It's not a hard decision.  I usually go to at least 3-4 per week.  My brother lives in Pinellas, co, so up there you have the Phillies, Jays, and Yankees.  Nearer me in the Sarasota area you have the Pirates, Orioles, Braves, and Rays.  Down by you the Red sox and maybe the Twins?  Somewhere in that mix we will find a few day games...most of them are.  That entire 100 mile stretch of west coast is great for spring baseball.  I was a little sad when the Indians went back to Tucson, but they had a long history there.

-- And Russ, agreed on Baseball, meet me in Fort Myers next year for a game at "Little Fenway"!

Will do.  That was in my plans anyway.  Now, even more reason to go.  Haven't been there yet.  I love spring training.

@hoorta said:

I won't comment on  Browns season tickets.  But the opener against the Titans is going to cost you plenty. I seriously question how StubHub is managing to offer tickets to that game by "instant download " considering as a season ticket holder I don't even have the tickets showing up in the master account yet. Couldn't even transfer them if I wanted to.
