Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns - Official Game Thread (Part II)

The Cleveland Browns lead the Cincinnati Bengals 13-10 at halftime. The Browns will get the ball first. After throwing the ball quite a bit in the first half, can the Browns settle down with the running game? And, defensively, will our cornerbacks continue to be left in man-to-man situations?

1st.

You fail also.

I must be having the same problem as SB then because mine is on top on my page, unless you’re just a first hater.

I’m a spam hater.

I have failed Tosh.0

I love that show, hell the time slot must be magic, because Ugly Americans is hilarious too.

Has that show started back up yet?

This week I believe.

nice. I just remembered ads about it.

Season just ended.

Whats the story with the Hillis injury- broken arm? Or nothing???

Go figure. The day I start him he gets hurt.

Wait. He isn’t hurt, is he? Did SB’s comment mean “I think Hillis broke his arm” meaning Hillis or that Hillis broke someone else’s arm?

Jonathan Joseph was injured on Cincy, didn’t hear anything about Hillis.

He broke someone elses arm.

Phew indeed!

First!

?

Hillis hurt Jonathan Joseph’s arm.

Not his arm. Think he broke someone else’s.

First.

not by a mile

My page says I made it.

Nope, I beat you, your page lies. Try refreshing.

My page says I beat you.

You were like the 7th comment.

This first thing should be cut off at the balls before it gets out of hand.

Just tuning in now, im liking what im seeing, they need to air some Browns games in Vancouver, Canada

Who did that Bad Company remake? It sounded like Skillet or Framing Hanley.

five finger death punch

They’re an awesome bad with an awesome name.

At half, I’m currently losing 19 to 36.

The catch: He’s got 6 players playing now, I have 2. (And LT accounts for 17 of his 36)

How bout us?

Me: 36 (5 playing)
You: 31 (4 playing)

ouch…

I am down 27-13. However, even though we both have 3 guys, I have QB, WR1 and RB2 (ronnie brown), and he has QB, WR1 and TE. Plus, his QB is Gradkowski and his WR1 has DA as a QB…I have a shot…

Is Harrison out?

No, but I’d definitely like to see him in there for a couple of plays.

Ugh. Come on, Hillis. Let’s get some positive yardage please.

Seems Cribbs is running more to the middle than he used to.

Another halftime lead- First game it’s not 14-10. 13-10 is still pretty close tho…

Dhani, that is legal in Sweden

Wtf? How the hell did MoMass catch that?

Good to force the opposition to burn a timeout early instead of us for a change.

Think the Browns will change the play now?

In the past, they haven’t with Cribbs in there.

second half gameplan:

We’re in trouble if Hillis spends the second half in San Fran.

My wife lived on that street when I first met her. Vallejo St.

Did MoMass’s catch really hit the ground but they gave it to him?

I’ll take that TO. Don’t be stupid Wallace, good job.

Eddie Royal and Calvin Johnson are having nice fantasy days.

I heard a lot of people say to bench Calvin, they’re eating crow!

One thing Wallace does is burn quite a few timeouts.

If we’ve been able to get Hillis to the outside, we should be able to do the same with Harrison.

Nice day to be on the lake lol

Your sig made me laugh.

I’m slovak.

Is slovak polish for stupid?

No, it’s nationality…

rec for unintentional(?) irony.

I saw the mistake but that can still be construed as correct grammar, it depends on how you read it.

NICE!

Stuckey is breaking out today.

Wallace throws well on the run.

It’s when he’s not running that there’s a problem!

No way B19K wins the bet.

what bet?

Stuckey ends the season under 30 catches.

I forgot about that.

Let’s see more of that, Hillis!

We’ve mentioned how we got the better end of that trade with Denver, right?

Because we did.

Fleeced ’em!

Hahahahahahaha! Love it.

Hillis + Vickers= BEAST

That hit was LOUD, and he just shrugged it off.

I need Hillis to get a TD for my team right now.

Your team is the Cleveland Browns, riiiiight? ;)

Both teams: fantasy and the Browns :)

Kick them while they’re down!

Take a seat Roy!

I love you Hillis.

FLASH PACKAGE YOU IDIOT!

Pound it in, Hillis.

WOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

PeytonHillisIsBeast

That was actually the name of a poster over at the Mile High Report

No, he posts here everyonce in a while. Him and Ratliffisbeast will have a convo.

YES!!!!!!

Points for the Browns and for me!

Where’s Grossi now?

Hillis still on pace for 16 TDs.

Hell, I’ll give him 17 or 18, he’ll have at least 1 game with 2 TDs.

That puts me up 36-34.

Give it up for the O-line on that TD.

VICKERS! Go Buffs.

Why did they trade him? There has to be some dirty little secret. It’s just too good to be true.

You didn’t hear?

He put it in Mcdaniel’s Wife.

Hahaha that was good.

Ha I forgot about that.

He slept with McDaniels’ wife.

There were rumore that he hooked up with McDaniels’ wife.

For real? I thought that was a joke. A really good one at that.

No idea if it happened, but that was the rumor at the time we traded for him.

He can have anyone’s wife as long as he keeps playing like he is.

Am I right?

Ah, not sure how I didn’t hear that one. It’s the only plausible explanation.

I love “The Convoy.” Vickers and Hllis.

That’s what we should start calling the power I with Mack Vickers and Hillis all lined up.

God hillis is a beast.

Thats two DB’s to the locker room

He never should have led with his helmet into Hillis.

and at least one of them courtesy of Peyton

Roy Williams leaving the field. Is that two Bengals that Peyton has injured?

Yup.

I could only be happier if it was two Steelers or Ravens that he hurt.

Oh boy, D is ready.

Oh it is ready!

Have some stuffing!

Is that the first time we’ve gotten 20 points or over this season?

Browns ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FUUUMBLE!!!!!

GUESS WHO?

Let’s go up by 17 please.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

My opponent is playing the Cleveland D.

That’s shocking.

12 points.

Solid numbers for a defense.

Gameball: Kenyon Coleman

game balls. 2 of them.

Oh my. And some men say there is no God.

There isn’t. There is only Joe Thomas.

Those sentences contradict each other.

I didn’t say Joe Thomas was God, did I?

But he is, so they do.

Coleman is a beast today.

damn you wallace

On screen graphic: First time since 1975 the Browns have had a back get a TD in 4 consecutive games.

Huge props to Seneca.

Ugh. Great effort though.

Mobile quarterback.

Wallace did the best he could.

We have go to capitalize on their mistakes!

I know. Two turnovers lead to FGs, not TDs.

Touchdown there could’ve been a dagger.

Had to be tempting to go for it

ColemanIsBeast today

This is really random, but Chinedum Ndukwe is really smart…

He’d have to be to spell his own name.

He was Quinn’s teammate at both ND and in HS in CBus, I think

Yeah. I looked him up b/c the person who I was watching the game with wondered where he went to college.

He also double majored at ND so it seemed like he actually gave a crap about education (and ND is an excellent school). the NFL also has a Business Management program (I just found out about this actually) and he went to both Wharton business school and Harvard Business.

Aaand my feed goes out.

still got mine atdhe.net

Seriously though, Vegeta and Coleman are everywhere today.

Haha Vegeta. I like it.

I thought you hated my nicknames.

So far they’ve all sucked, expect Vegeta.

Even “The Convoy”? Symbolizing Hillis, Vickers and Mack?

Still pretty lame.

Mack truck… trucks in a line are a convoy…

Doesn’t make it any better.

Meh, I like it for when we’re in the power I.

I just don’t like. Not sure why it’s such a big deal. I said Vegeta was cool.

I finally got that…I was confused for a while…I feel slow.

Just need to prevent TO and Chad from getting big plays. Cincy has no one else

Pressure really picked up after I said they were lacking, so I will keep saying it.

Somethings wrong when Baby keeps jumping. I doubt this is his fault.

Hot water burn baby

How can Eric Wright accept a paycheck?

This drive is painful

Stop Jumping offsides

This can never be easy, can it?

Eric Wright is sooooooo awful

Benson blocked Wright instead of Roth.

Such an idiot.

There were 2 players coming and he can only block one. I think that is just good pressure, not a boneheaded play by Benson.

Why choose the corner (and the outside rusher) over the LB (inside rusher) though? That’s why it’s dumb.

Yes, his fault that Roth made his initial blocker fall down.

Didn’t say it was, he made a dumb decision though, don’t act like it wasn’t. He has to adjust.

It’s true. Offensive players are taught to block higher priority threats first.
It goes DT, DE, LB, S, then CB…for the most part

exactly. first of all, the inside rusher generally would have the better angle to get to the QB directly without being blocked. Also, roth is more dangerous at getting to the QB (wright has speed as a rusher, but I consider roth more dangerous)

Palmer can throw off a CB, not an LB.

Exactly why I said roth is more dangerous.

Especially a CB that isn’t the greatest tackler.

The Chicago PD has a set of photos that support your assertion

what happened to Wright…he used to be a decent corner….

13 points for the Browns D.

I wish the guy I’m playing wasn’t using them.

Close to a late hit there.

Good lord, LT has 27 fantasy points…

Tomlinson has 27 fantasy points. Dayum.

10 point lead…….need a scoring drive here…..a long one

I’d love to poach a Bengal today.

Ew the announcer is echoing on my feed.

They’re bad enough the first time around.

There ya go Cribbs.

Pediction: The Browns will have to get another TD to get the win.

I'll take 5 FGs lol

Looks like cribbs is back in action.

Did he say that hillis is the next Jim brown. Like Jim brown or not, nobady will ever be as good as Jim brown.

*nobody

Hillis will have to work on his douchey-ness.

I was thinking the same thing.

He already slept with his coach’s wife. He’s getting there.

Well, his coach was a douche anyway.

So it equals out?

Fair.

Someone find a pic of McDaniel’s wife.

Oh shit.

Hillis is my hero.

Not at all attractive, but the guy is ass so it’s all good.

Where talking about his wife, not McDaniels.

Uh yeah, no thanks.

Maybe if she gets rid of that awful mom from Jon and Kate Plus 8 hair.

What is with you two?

She’s above average regardless.

i would have slept with her too…to soon?

Indeed. The Inverse Law of Douche applies in this situation. Sleeping with a douches wife is thus non douchey.

Next step: Mrs. Mangini

I say we substitute Hillis in Brown’s ring spot.

I thought that was SO dumb.

Victory thread?

Nooo! We’re screwed now.

Gotta catch that one.

Yeah, but that looked like it was also thrown a bit behind.

it hit him in the face

I professional WR has to catch a ball that’s not perfect? That’s crazy

It was a lapse of concentration.

Seriously, WHEN DID HODGES GET GOOD?

He really put some leg on that one didn’t he?

Ugh down by 6 points.

Freakin’ T.O.

Should’ve caught that, ugh.

Bumble Bees Don’t Bite
Baseballs Bring Dirt Bruises
Baby Boys Drool Bananas
Buckeye Brad Dips Bagels
Browns Beat Damn Bengals

Wright is once again pissing me off.

Just put another 7 on the board. Come on Wright.

I know outside of our top 3 we are weak at CB, but I really think we need to bench Wright soon.

It’s not an option, so I think we need to chill.

Adams can play the nickel, it is an option.

but then you have adam as a nickel and Elam as his backup deep (ward also, but if adams isn’t there, elam is). Adams isn’t a bad nickel option, but I would almost rather have wright and adams over the top than have elam in.

Wright>Adams in the nickel

Adams>>>Elam as a safety in coverage.

This is what I told B19K, Run defense looks awesome, DBs as a whole look not as good.

Wright just screwed us again.

Wrong… er I mean Wright.

Hold them for another FG?

Recipe to beat Browns:

Throw the ball to receiver covered by Wright. Succeed. Repeat.

Eric Wright needs to be on the bench now. It seems that every throw is going right in his direction.

BULLSHIT FLAG BULLSHIT FLAG!

Shooting ourselves in the foot again!

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Awwwww, shit. Well at least Ward made it fucking worth it!

Don’t get up you pussy!

Haha. yeah. that was a bit of a cheap shot by Ward, but it was a good message. sometimes, its worth the penalty just for a psychological message like that. we were getting owned and then we showed they they can’t screw with us.

you’re an idiot if you think that was worth giving them a TD

This was before the TD.

I don’t think at all it was worth a TD. It is stupid now in hindsight.

Wright’s even getting showed up by a rookie. I thought that he was in for a good year too.

*shown

Carson shut the fuck up.

I love Ward.

Nice!

Stupid. Going to cost him some $$$, probably going to cost the team a touchdown.

It was a legal hit with his shoulder.

But not the part with his helmet. Not smart.

Shipley moved when his shoulder came, he didnt aim for the head.

Looked to me like he saved a TD

Umm. Nope.

I’ll have to look at a replay. I thought Shipley was catching the ball when Ward lit him up. I could have seen it wrong though.

They just showed it. You’re right.

looked like he caused one to me

He just cost us a chance to hold them to 3. Chock up an automatic TD courtesy of TJ. I like the guy too but come on.

Awww yes. Not a fan of the yardage but I’m loving the hit!

Smarter football would be better football.

Well, I hate to say it but that’s the rule and the right call.

No it wasn’t.

I’m pretty sure you can’t hit helmet to helmet like that.

Shoulder to helmet. Thats why its fine.

Shoulder to helmet is now illegal towards a defenseless WR

I think that’s any player too, not just WR.

The defenseless part is what I don’t agree with, they were face to face, what the hell was Ward supposed to do, move out of the way?

and ‘defenseless’ is a very subjective word and it is somewhat questionable whether or not shipley was ‘defenseless’.

The referees are going to err on the side of the offense every time because that’s what they’re instructed to do. Period. You can dislike the rule all you want, but NFL officials are going to call it that way every single time.

I agree. they are going to call it in favor of the offense. I might not like it, but I understand it (and I personally don’t care that much they call it for the offense).

I could have swore this no blows to the head rule applied to all players, not just “defenseless receivers.”

That was a shoulder.

I thought the new rule was NO part of the body can be launched at the head.

Launched? He was practically standing there.

Shipley moved his head into his shoulder’s line not the other way around.

“Launched” is just a termed I used, definitely not a quote from the actual rulebook.

We need an animated gif of that hit.

Are you kidding me?

There was nothing wrong with what Ward did, If Shipley had the ball it would’ve been fine.

Bullshit.

Don’t encourage that shit.

The browns got a similar call earlier

It was shoulder lead, the rule calls about direct head to head hits.

Um, the rule has changed. Leading with the shoulder is not allowed either.

No, I’m pretty sure it’s direct helmet to helmet.

You can be sure about whatever you want, but the rule is what it is.

All players in virtually defenseless postures are protected from unnecessary hits by the defense, which include helmet-to-helmet contact, helmet-to-body contact, and blows to the head.

Helmet, shoulder, or forearms, the announcers mentioned it earlier.

And honestly, I thought that was a bit of a bad call.

yea the earlier one was terrible. This was a prime example of the right call

yeah. I can admit that the call on ward was better.

Gannon’s right, that’s $7500 out of Ward’s pocket. Stll, I love TJ Ward.

what a hit. not the best time, but damn!

They are just determined to fuck up my Sunday.

I’m sick of these bullshit rules.

It is not the rules, it is the play.

Refs have been terrible as a whole this season.

Uhh, what? A year ago this would have been perfectly legal. Ask Ocho.

Well Ward wasn’t playing in the NFL year ago, so I’m not sure your argument has relevance.

That made sense.

If Ward had run onto the field during an NFL game last year and clobbered Jordan Shipley, who had also run onto the field during an NFL game, they both probably would have been arrested but the Browns wouldn’t have been called for a penalty.

Ok, let’s gt a good drive going, give it to hillis, let him run he’ll over the bengals, get some first downs, put it away w/ a touchdown or field goal.

Cue the offensive collapse that always follows the defensive collapse. Here we go again.

I think I’d like to audible out of that play.

Story of the Browns thus far

……how many ways can we step on our dicks?

WHY ARE WE THROWING!

Because Daboll doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.

Shotgun on first down with the lead in the fourth.

3rd and 7. Great.

bring out Hodges and save some time.

That’s the spirit.

this team has never given me any reason to be optimistic. ever.

except in the offseason maybe. but…oooh yep see what i mean.

Have you only been a fan since 08?

Just saw the replay, That was all Shipley’s fault, Ward was already moving and didnt aim toward his head, Shipley moved it there.

well...thats an interesting take

Ward is already in motion and Shipley pulls his head down. He moved into the direction of his shoulder.

That’s some logic.

What is with you? do you have a crush on me?

Good, Ward took him out of the game.

I was hoping Carson would get popped trying to yell at a Defense.

Don’t be that type of fan. Have some class

Oh please.

I agree with you.

Which doesn’t help him at all

So you don’t have any class. That settles it

I agree with you, never root for someone to be injured. There might be one or two people I make an exception for, but they deserve it.

I really hope we win. I talked smack to some annoying highschool little shit who’s rooting for the Bengals… 5 minutes before they scored the TD. I said the Bengals suck. I will never hear the end of it from him if they win.

… That is, until I punch him in the face.

Violence is the answer, if it’ll shut him up.

I may have to wait, though. I’m in college about 4 hours away from home. I’ll punch him on fall break.

… Except I won’t. Because we aren’t going to lose.

Hope we have a heck of a play call here after the timeout.

It’s the ole death spiral.

why does it feel like we are loosing the game right now?

Now the Bengals will march down the field and take the lead.

targeting Wright all the way.

Let’s cue up Marcus Benard here.

Let the collapse begin.

Fuck that. Let’s win this game.

So we give him a 12 yard run when we don’t need him to?

Aaron Rodgers has 3 INTs vs. Detroit’s defense.

and thats killing me…hes my QB on my fantasy team

Same. I’m down by 5, but have 6 players left to play.

All the handwringing on this site is pathetic. Whatever happened to cheering your team on?

I’d love for us to win. I’m sick of seeing us choke.

Because we choke at the worst times.

As opposed to choking at the best times.

Better than worst.

Good, please let the Bengals implode.

    It’s like when the chorus comes on in the fourth act of a tragedy. You know what’s going to happen. You’re filled with pity and terror.

Hey look, Wright didn’t give up huge yards there.

This has become an astonishing feat.

Owens has like 200 receiving yards today.

222, to be exact :(

Another 10 yard run. Good job D.

Tackle? Anyone?

Isn’t this looking like a typical browns game. A choke in the 4th, again.

And the penalty on Chad O. Yahoo.

I’d rather decline, make them punt it.

Wait, nevermind, FG range.

I thought the same thing.

Would you now?

Didn’t notice the field position, but no I wouldn’t.

WHY DIDN’T WE DECLINE THE PENATLY?

Opted to take them out od FG range.

YES!!!!!!!!!! ROTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH

ROTH ROTH ROTH ROTH ROTH

I hear his name and this comes to mind for some reason:

Our linebackers might be slow but no sloth slow.

Ha. i don’t know what that is.

A sloth.

I love the simplicity.

ah. Thats kinda funny. And roth isn’t a speed guy.

for some reason, I thought that was a lemur and was confused.

The tickle monster.

Finally a stop from our defense.

Now, PLEASE let’s not come out in Shotgun…

Ok. Run out the clock. RUN THE BALL. Don’t turn it over.

Run it and win. Please, only pass if we have to.

SACK!

You’re late to the party.

Watching the feed and accidentally hit preview instead of post at first.

First downs. Run the clock. Not that.

…And we pass. And kill the clock.

Jesus H. A pass?!?!?!

WTF? WHY AREN’T WE RUNNING THE BALL?

Why Daboll? Why?

Grooooooooooooooan.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Daboll, run the damn ball.

Fucking Daboll.

That wasn’t a bad call on first down. Now run it..

It was a bad decision. Hillis was more open for the dumpoff. if he catches it, thats 3 yards and the clock is running. Instead, is 0 yards and the clock stops.

If we don’t convert, I will personally find Daboll and kick him in the nuts.

THANK YOU GOD.

Cincy gifts us a first down.

NOW RUN THE BALL.

Saved by Bengals stupidity. Now let’s run the ball.

Is Daboll trying to lose his job with a pass on first down?

I’m starting to wonder whether he enjoys his job…

Boy, the refs have done us some favors with these penalties.

Run run run run run run.

Hillis! Hillis! Hillis!!!!!!!!

Just keep running.

What an ugly stat.

Boy do I love vickers and our o-line

Fiiiiirst down.

Run run run run run.

THE JUGGERNAUT IS FIRED UP! ALL CAPS WORTHY

Peyton Hillis is amused by the referees’ need to measure.

Daboll should shave that ’stache.

It’s not as bad as Thome’s was way back when.

Well… We’re running pretty well… Oh! Oh! OH! I got it! That should open up the pass, right?? Pass play!!!

Bengals took their second timeout. If we move the chains once, we’ve got a victory locked up. Run it three times.

Run run run run run

Make ’em waste those TOs right now, we can run it down shortly.

Brandon Lloyd was a nice bye-week filler. 10 points.

I am getting destroyed. then again, I deserve it because I didn’t bench moreno and my kicker is on a bye. this is what I get for not adjusting the roster.

Keep running the ball & running the clock.

Cinch giving Hillis a breather. Daboll, don’t call a pass yet.

One more first down, c’moooooooon.

I think after that pass, someone called Daboll a dumbass to his face.

Make Woody Hayes proud.

Cincy had 411 yards, but are still losing. Go browns!!

Steelers lost fuck yes!

The Ravens won tho so I’m not celebrating

Baltimore scored late on Pittsburgh, won 17-14.

Their timeouts are gone.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That’s ballgame folks.

In good news, Ravens beat the Steelers. Not that we’re that close to the division lead, but hey a win here and we’re only two games behind!

Disappointed they couldn’t bludgeon each other for five quarters and come out with a tie. Also disappointed that Steelers get bye week to recover before playing Browns.

I think that’s the game right there.

Would’ve liked to see Hillils stay in bounds.

And Hillis gives me 16 points and the lead.

Celebration time!

liking Peyton Hillis!

I’m starting to breath again.

Forbidding a huge turnover, the browns should get a win.

Woo 1-3 baby!!

I still have a ton of homework to do, but I don’t give a crap because we’re winning!

That’s the spirit!

100 yards for Hillis now

Please don’t start celebrating till the clock hits 0. Please. Have we learned nothing!?!

Roth or Hillis for Player of the game?

Or Colman or Vegeta?

yeah. I immediately remembered coleman. Vegeta is another option.

Lets just give it to the front 7. our 3 best players today were from that unit.

Those 3 though combined for all 4 sacks, 4 TFLs, and 5 QB hits. (6 QB hits by all the front 7).

wait…or Coleman?

Cut the gameball in half and give them each a half.

Coleman and Hillis.

Did Harrison ever see the field?

No, and I don’t care anymore.

He had a great view from the sideline

VICTORY FORMATION!

Not sure if it was worth losing Brady Quinn, but a pretty good game for Hillis.

You’re joking right?

We lost Brady Quinn long before the trade

Hahaha your sarcasm is impeccable!

Well, other than our cough “porous” cough pass defense, we got ourselves a good team.

We had a pass defense in that game?

Define this “pass defense” you speak of.

Just wait until we play a decent QB.

Just wait until we play a decent QB CB.

Just wait until we play a decent QB CB team.

Ravens? Cinci? Nahh.

No completed passes in the 4th?

Can’t wait to win the next 12 in a row!!

I may be getting my ass handed to me in fantasy, but I really don’t care anymore! Woooo!

Whats our score?

Me: 54
You: 49

Sweet.

It’s my other league, 25 to 72…

Man, this was a bi – polar game.

I’ll admit,I was really pissed after that Ward hit.

While we are in the extreme minority, I still consider it a good hit.

Love Boss Ward.

They didn’t have Shipley in the middle after it.

I’m outta here. FINALLY we got a win!

I need to finish homework and I can’t now.

Hey, 13-3 is still a good season

This great! I didn’t think they could get the win without putting another 7 on the board.

Wooooooooooooo!

Coincidence they put up the Broncos game in the Cleveland area?

I think not.

It is the only 1:00 game that’s still going on.

shiiiiiiit…. they can’t stop this feeeeeeeeling.

I meant because of Hillis.

Also on Sunday ticket. Think they just picked it because there was so little clock left on that game and the score was close.

…Way to ruin my subtle joke.

Sorry. I feel bad now.

Oh SNAP!

Thats game for that game.

Now THAT is a mistake.

yeah. and a good play by the broncos at the same time. thats another game I got wrong on my predictions.

At least I picked the browns.

That’s game for that’s game for that’s game for that game.

Orton probably just won my game.

Well that fixed my weekend!

Arsenal fan?

Nope. Not really bothered by soccer. Just a rather crappy weekend in general.

Oh, that sucks.

(I’m a Manchester City fan so today has been pretty nice so far.)

Hey, that’s a coincedence. If I follow any premiership team it would be City. Not keen on all the big money the arabs are flashing around though- soccer needs a salary cap!

Actually, I am an Aston villa fan so this helped my weekend after they got beat by Tottenham yesterday.

Hmm, double-dipping with the Randy Lerner owned teams, eh?

Gotta love the hometown boy Brad Friedel too.

exactly. I actually liked Aston Villa before Lerner bought them. Back in 2003 ish i got into soccer and I latched onto them because they were an underdog.

I really liked peter crouch and thought he was entertaining, plus their Goalie, sorensen was good (and at the time, I played goalie in soccer), and I liked Gareth Barry (I believe he’s on Manchester city now).

A lot of those guys left, but in recent years, they got better and signed some players I was already a fan of like Freidel, Ashley Young, and Heskey (and guzan who is the heir apparent if/when Freidel ever calls it quits).

Villa have acheived a lot on a low budget under McNeil, so you have to admire them- we’ll see if they can keep it up with Houllier there now.

Everton are another team in that well managed spendthrift mould.

agreed. I like everton too…mostly because Tim howard is a beast. its hard as an american to get an attachment too a team because:

a) I am not from england and it seems like most people have allegiances based on where they live

b) the players move around a lot. I based some of my fanhood of players I like to watch and some of the players I like move around a lot and teams change lineups it seems like more often than in Football here or Baseball.

snooze. let’s stick to talking real football.

I still love how we traded a 3rd string QB for a stud RB.

I liked that trade from the beginning. I forget why but I knew about Hillis, didn’t know it would pay off this well, but knew he was good.

You knew about Hillis because he was a stud his rookie season.

That was probably it.

I picked him up towards the end of the season. Denver had run out of running backs and he looked amazing.

Here we go Brownies, here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I gone daft or did we grab the lead early and hold it the whole game?

If you value your sanity, don’t venture over to the Cincy SBN page. Let’s just say they’re imploying the “blame the refs” argument.

Let’s not forget the TD they scored thanks to Ward’s viciousness.

Is it on youtube yet?

It needs gif’d immediately.

Along with the Roy Williams bobblehead from earlier in the game.

Also when Hillis broke that dudes fickin’ arm.

I have the three Braylon drops on my desktop as an instant pick-me-up.

I still dislike W****er Slaughter more though

I like that. I’m a Bengals fan And I’m gonna rec this

Never did get around to rec-ing that.

You should. So should Bengal fans.

Did McCoy cheer or was he worried when Shipley got hit?

IS he a true Brown yet?

Dude shut the hell up.

What?

Regardless of how it happened, when you hear or see that hit, it’s awesome as a fan at first.

Even you liked it, I don’t see the problem.

I don’t think those types of hits should be penalties. I don’t root for guys to get injured, even though it benefited us.

And McCoy and Shipley are best friends. If you’re best friend played against you, you’d be one sick fuck if you cheered on your teammate after he destroyed your buddy.

Exactly — criticizing McCoy for not rooting for his friend to get injured is lame. Real lame comment.

That’s fair.

Lapse of judgment on my part.

Ugh I’m down like 12 points.

Oh well. I’d take a Browns win over a fantasy win any day.

Just seen I’m leading the points so far in this week yahoo pick’em league. Still stuck to the bottom of the active players list though…

You Dey.

Palmer is a bum.

That is all.

God I hate Gary Kubiak.

And just like that, he is forgiven.

Vick’s hurt. Looks like a collarbone.

My first thought.

There goes my fantasy season . . . .

Back to plan A (Kolb)?

Kolb are you kidding I probably start Eli instead

And we thought we had QB issues.
