    I had to get myself off of here in the middle of the 3rd... #bitch-mode

    At the start of the 4th....

    I laid my Elf hat on Tour's London lampshade conversion cloth & said these words..

    "Tour buddy, we need this OL to figure out a way to stop Tampa's attacking D-line stunts" 

    That Elf ball-cap ain't leaving the top of that lamp the rest of the Season !

    Fuck a A right Tour ! ?  WE BEAT TOM BRADY !

    I know 4-7 isn't a desirable record but if the Rams lose today, we will have a better record than the defending champions.

    I have friends that are married.  One is a Bucs fan, she lived there, the other is a ratbirds fan. Can’t wait to see them tonight

    Very happy for Jacoby Brissett....getting a win to go out with.  He was a team leader.  He was classy.  He did a better job than anyone thought he could.  He kept the int's down.  Thank You Jacoby!

    Some kinda' catch for the TD by Njoku.

    Chubb had to work really hard for every inch today.  That game winning TD was pure Will and Power!

    It's good to put an end to a negative streak.

    Uh oh. Lamar Jackson snapped. 

    On a side note, he must not have majored in English at Louisville?

    Comes down to how the playoff committee views OSU and Alabama.  We could be in the playoff if they put us ahead of Bama and USC loses.

    deserved or undeserved.

    I'm as big of an OSU fan as anybody, they don't deserve it. If they lost at game on the road, maybe I'd feel differently, but they got smoked at home. 

    'Bama doesn't deserve the spot either. Their ranking is all about reputation not results.

    Agree but if USC loses we are running out of teams and we would have no 1 loss teams left. 


    Tennessee? Lost To Scar by 25.

    OSU was pathetic giving up huge chunk plays for TDs with nary a defender in sight. Yeah, they might backdoor in if USC? loses...  So what? You think they'd have a prayer against Georgia?

    These bowl games can certainly be unpredictable. A month off can do wonders or harm to a team.

    I just don't think tOSU deserves a spot now.

    This game officially ended when the Browns had  the ball inside Tampa's 20 and refused to throw 1 pass into the end zone (or further than 2 yards forward for that matter) when Tampa's best pass defender (Winfield) was on the sideline.  

    Oh ye of little faith.

    Very true!

    Having said that, what happened when we DID throw into the end zone a little bit later?  Njoku caught a TD pass making the type of catch a previous FO here thought he would be capable of (if the guy calling plays had faith).

    The very first battle test among elite top 4 caliber teams was an epic failure.  Keep in mind #7 for Michigan averaged 75 yards per carry the last 2 times he touched the ball and he was just a back-up RB.  Why would we want to see the Buckeyes playing Georgia next? 

    Let's face it, we've been spoiled by the standard of excellence with the football program at Ohio State.  JMO, where Ohio State looks to have slipped the most is in their Defensive Recruits - particularly Defensive backs and footspeed.  When #7 was outrunning pursuit angles - that jumped off the screen to me. They have to improve this if they want to get back up to the level they were at.  Michigan had a defense that gave their offense a margin of error they could count on.  Ohio State did not have this, which is why we could see their confidence flat-lining when those big plays took the wind out of their sails.

    One Defensive Player that was an absolute delight to watch all year was JT Tuimoloau (#44).  

    They'll be back!

    Especially when you consider that Henderson and JSN could easily be back for a bowl game. The committee right or wrong looks at that. I'm definitely also leaning towards "don't deserve it", but the Game wasn't as OMG of a loss as the media makes it out to be. OSU had the lead at half-time and had it within one score halfway through the 4th quarter. Don't get me wrong-USC deserves the 4th spot if they win. But if they don't, Ohio State had a hell of a year with one loss to a CFP team. I'm not sure why there's so much shock that they are at least seriously in the conversation.

    Anywho-back to the Browns. Really had no intentions of watching this game closely until the cold bug ran through the family, leaving us all on the couch (and me waiting on my tablet).

    1) Emerson had himself a day, woo boy. Locked Evans down and had an extremely questionable PI. In the same vein, if Ward looks the way he did and Newsome can come back he (Ward) could be an interesting trade piece for draft capital. Ward just doesn't look sharp out there.

    2) Anyone who thinks Garrett isn't a fucking monster is just plain dumb. if our interior DL had any pressure, at all, that man would be getting 2 sacks a game. That sack late was jaw dropping-the bend to get underneath the tackle is incredible.

    I just can't keep thinking about that Jets loss early in the season-should have been 3-0 and at worst would be 5-6 with a win over the team in the last wild card spot. Oh well.

    I have never been a fan of calling Michigan "TTUN" or when they put giant red X's through the letter "M", it speaks of arrogance.  Then I seen a Buckeye head butt one of the Michigan players on the sidelines for an unnecessary penalty. What happened to OSU is what happens when you don't respect your opponent. I say good for Michigan for smoking OSU at home.

    I think that not respecting one's opponent may also be a Browns problem too, thinking they will just breeze through a game they should win.
