DTR was put on IR with hip injury vs Texans.. https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/browns-qb-dorian-thompson-robinson-headed-to-injured-reserve

Only backup QB left on roster is PJ Walker  (? speak no evil)  

Berry continues doing smart GM duties..  https://arizonasports.com/story/3540502/browns-sign-qb-jeff-driskel-cardinals-practice-squad/

edit-- Browns waived DE Sam Kamara to make 53 man room.

Anyway time to see how deep that practice squad gang is!

I have to imagine he will be starting the next two games since it doesn't matter if we win or not and no need to risk injury to Joe.

WTF. Crazy bad luck on injuries.

...of course I'm sorry the player is injured.

That’s too bad, I guess he took some hits in garbage time that should have been avoided. Wrap Joey Flacco in bubble wrap

He may be able to come back for the afc championship though ?

This is the play I cursed Hudson on, I think. It was the second or third time Hudson mistimed his jab and essentially whiffed. So frustrating, but like Flugel said, he's the backup and that stuff happens. Just really stinks. 

Hopefully we don't need him! Never would I imagined a win to get in scenario. A home game...at night...and that place better be ROCKING.

Dear Kevin, 

Our diner play call sheet, says this rookie QB don't have to do Deshaun Watson heroics things to win this game.. 

Use the play calls the kid's talent got him drafted with..

Simplified... Do we have a roster'd QB that will kindly please stop gift wrapping turnovers into scores ?

Signed, just curious/furious ?

Gumby 

At least this time he's had an opportunity to throw to 1st string Receivers leading up to the game in terms of establishing some degree of chemistry.  Not only that, but he's practiced that with the game plan so it won't feel like needing to learn a new language in 60 minutes.

I would echo those exact sentiments!

He'll make rookie mistakes but I think he'll be fine.

So you're saying he could run for President if he gets in trouble?  

Well Tricky Dicky did so ... Anythings possible

You'd be surprised what famous people are allowed to do to a specific part of the female anatomy and get away with it according to one ex-president.

A little FYI about Watsons contract.. Although it is guaranteed.. There are 2 outs..1) being if he does anything illegal or anything considered detrimental to the team.... 2) if he gets one more league suspension... So far.. He's behaved...

Stef has a hard time understanding this Steelers defense and we go into the game with the same f’ing tomfoolery.  You need balance run/pass in the second half and you can’t wait on long developing routes with relentless pressure they bring off the edges.  Stef has a propensity to panic especially with second half play calls. 

and then fans come out of it with some illusion that are offensive line is lousy.

screen them the death, make their back 7 cover and tackle Njoku, qb designed runs…you all are smart…plays that keep edge rushers off balance.  If you want to go deep max protect.  And we need to play on the edge (dirty wise) like chipping Watt roughly.   I’m tired of these aholes playing the “Steeler way” and knocking guys out of the game. 

Nice!   Well said and I like the feisty delivery.  It's perfect for the news we got this week. 

I noticed some teams inclusive of the Browns have had 2nd half leads on Pittsburgh only to get impatient with their game plans.  Next thing you know Pittsburgh got their lead back; and then we had to listen to the annoying praise of Mike Tomlin.

The above makes good sense, so that is not what Stef is going to do. The below is, unfortunately

Of course the Steelers will be expecting that.  So watch Stef try to pass them silly.

During his post surgical therapy, a few scantly dressed massage therapists and a well positioned nanny cam would do the trick.

Still too soon? 

Sounds about right

Browns game plan against the Steelers isn't rocket science....  We're going to run, run, and run some more. Pass only when necessary.
