Well, Brownswire got that backwards didn't they.   But I still like the idea of burning the brown pants at midfield.    

...haven't read the in-game or post game comments yet but, This offensive stinker did not surprise me.  Our offensive starters did not play together all preseason.  And now you can add game 1 with Wills & Conklin out.  

Ford is still indecisive sometimes...and during those 'sometimes' he makes the wrong choice.  One time he should've popped it outside, but instead turned back inside and got stuffed right there.

Myles could only manage 2 tackles with 1 sack.  The punt return TD and us giving them the ball on downs all the time, sometimes in our own territory, made the score get out of hand.  I was telling the guests, as it was about to happen that I didn't agree with going for it on 4th down while it was still in the 3rd Qtr (near the end of it) and that our offense hasn't shown that it could be counted on to gain the needed yardage.  Buuuttt, that's the Browns Analytic Playbook again.  

2 of 15 on third downs.  We had 3rd and long practically all game long.  Every time the offense walked out on the field, they'd go backwards by penalty on 1st or 2nd down.  

Watson wasn't getting enough time to scan the field for an open receiver.  And he continues to prove to me that he's not a smart QB in that he runs and doesn't slide.  I was calling for him to be taken out in the 4th quarter as the game was hopelessly gone...but I guess they figured he needed the reps.  But he kept running and not sliding.  

It would've been nice if Cooper could've hung on to that long ball.

Pierre Strong does a nice job with screen pass receptions.

Aikins did a nice job catching 3 balls.  Njoku caught 4, dropped 1, and got hurt.  I hope he's ok.

Hopefully we can rebound against the Jags.

Well, it's that time of the year we love the most. Week 1 football is here and I have absolutely no idea what this team will do. Would've loved an easier game, but here we are. I predict an ugly offensive game dictated by strong defense. The team that makes the plays in the 4th and doesn't turn it over wins. I hope it's us! 

LET'S GO BROWNS!

Night and day compared to last weekend when I roasted at Ohio Stadium. 

Oof.

Right.  It's pure luck that it's not like that today.

Seriously they can just put the brown pants at the 50 yard line and drench them with gasoline and throw a lit match on them. 

They can keep the fire going and burn the Elf logo too

Tom Brady, as a broadcaster now, can't say who he thinks is going to win the game, but it sounds like he is leaning towards Dallas.

I don't think the announcers, unless they are our own, ever lean towards the Browns.

@packernation said:

The fact Tom Brady seems to be leaning towards the Cowboys, makes me lean towards the Browns more.

I still say Dallas wins a close game, but my heart is more with the Browns.

Hell with it, Browns 23 Dallas 20

I heard on the radio that Tom Brady didn’t do his due diligence when he signed on as a minority owner for the Raiders.

Since he is also a color analyst, he’s not allowed in on any practice sessions for any of the other NFL teams, and other things.

They used the terms “conflict of interest”.

Browns will sport their traditional brown home jerseys.

They will also be wearing their brown pants and white striped socks to round out their game day fit.

- Really?!  For a summertime football game your going to dress them totally in dark brown?!   What does analytics say about that?!

I don't like the brown pants with no stripe(s) down the side.

  Accuweather 4PM Cleveland forecast 66 degrees, mostly sunny west wind at 15 mph.   Uniform color a non- factor.  

FWIW, I don't like the all brown pants either, they usually lose wearing them.

I know fall officially starts on September 22nd, but fall really starts after Labor Day. 

The leaves are changing, a crispness in the air. Get the brown unis out.

Thanks for finding that @syd. I saw it on Instagram and didn't think to look on YouTube.

and another thing mr football, the Browns were 8-1 at home the boys 4-5 on the road

Most of the cowpokes victories came against subpar teams last year they only had 3-4 quality wins last year ( Detroit gave the game away, stupid ass coach) you seem to forget or just want to ignore facts ( i choose the latter) that the Browns man to man coverage at home last year led the league. They have one good receiver in cee dee  and i see the cowboys ass over rated and The Browns Defense to make life horrible for dak.

I'd wager it has more to do with Dallas than us.  But it would be REAL good if it would be us that wins the game.

...and we won't have our starting LT protecting our QB who missed more than half the season last year, most of the previous season, and all of the season before that.  And basically, Tom Brady only knows us as being a pathetic football team, from his playing days.  

I gotta admit l feel kinda honored that Tom Brady is starting his announcing career with the Browns. 

I’m assuming he’ll be the color guy instead of the play by play guy? He’ll just chime in from time to time with his Tom Bradyness. I’m looking forward to it.
