Dawgs By Nature

I’m always here

Here, although I’m multitasking.

Multitasking as well. Some shit went down at my house last night and I’ve been talking to people on the phone all morning trying to figure out what happened. It looks like bi-polar people are no longer welcome here. I don’t need guest walking on eggshells to appease others.

That sucks.

Chick fight. One friend who isn’t allowed over anymore.

guests* plural

The NFL needs to implement a quality weight on wildcard team wins so teams like the Bungles don’t make the playoffs because they were fortunate enough to play us twice this season.

Pretty sure they do when it comes to ties. I think it’s Record>SoS>head to head. Not sure though.

Forgot hou got a win from us too this year.

Who do we want to win here?

Bungles I suppose. But I want Pittspuke to have to go to N.E. next week if they win rather than Balt, so tough call.

Everybody who isn’t in AFC North.

The NFC.

Looks like this game will be as exciting as Murmur.

Wow a screen that actually worked.

That was a nice play.

Kosar on the key block on TD run?? Thought I was hearing things…

My dog does good thib.

Talk about multitasking.

Landry Jones returning to Sooners….good. One less mistake we can make.

We’ll see how he does next year. He could mature and be pretty decent.

Jeff Garcia is on the Texans?

OK announced already that Irsay said the Colts will select Luck with the first pick. We all knew that but unless he is trying to get more value with trades, I am suspecting they are going to and we will have to look elsewhere for our 1st pick. Well it was a nice dream.

SMOKESCREEN!!!

OK, we got a game here now!

It is so novel to see a team I am rooting for score a TD in the first Quarter.

I didnt know they were allowed to do that

and to see a ball actually caught

unpossible

Inconceivable!

Srly tho – watching good football teams is so much less painful than Browns football, on a number of levels.

oh, i get it, you catch the ball, what a concept!

LOL, both hands even

I think that’s a bad spot. He got stuffed.

And they made up for it with a phantom false start.

politics

Why not mortgage our future for Luck? Because the past since ’99 has been so great, right?

Because mortgaging 2008 for Quinn worked out so well…

Luck is not Quinn

Luck is also not Peyton Manning. He could go either way once he’s in the league.

I will bet he is better than Quinn. Do you like McCoy?

Saying he’s better than a complete bust isn’t saying much.
As far as McCoy goes: I think he’s a hell of a lot better than you give him credit for. You tend to overly exaggerate his shortcomings(ex. He’s under 6’ tall, he has too many batted balls, he can’t see over linemen etc). I think at worst he’s an above average backup in this league He’s playing at the same level if not slightly better than a 9 year career backup/spot starter in his second year. I’m not sold on McCoy as a long term starter but yes I definitely like him.
None of this though has to do with the above discussion of I’d rather not sell out the future chasing a question mark. I’d rather sit tight and see what falls to us. I would be happy with Blackmon. Look at who McCoy had to throw to. His most talented receivers were someone who hadn’t played in a year, after converting from RB in Little and Ben Watson. Not many options on where to go to with the ball.

I dont think many would agree that he is an above average quarterback in the league.

You skipped a word in there.

I think at worst he’s an above average backup in this league

semantics

Heh.

They make anti-virus software right?

he said “above average backup”…

Thanks.

You are correct, I did misread it and I agree I would keep him as a back up, unless someone would offer a 5th round pick for him or better and if I selected a quarterback he would be gone WHICH i believe will happen

I wouldn’t let him go for less than a 4th.

Only because no one will give us anything for Wallace. I do think McCoy is better than Wallace

If we draft a QB look for Wallace to be cut.

Unless we can trade McCoy. I agree if we draft RG3 or Luck (I know we wont get Luck) I think we will keep McCoy if we dont get a good draft pick for him and then trade Wallace or cut him.

What did we get rid of for Wallace? Wasn’t it like a 5th-6th? We won’t get crap for him. Who do you choose to keep as a backup, the one who’s already hit his ceiling and is 10 years in or the 3rd year QB that could still improve? That’s why I say we end up cutting Wallace.

I would want McCoy as the back up IF we draft a starter.

I would want McCoy

Never thought I would see those words coming from you. Heh.

I dont hate him.

Gotta have a good back up or as Houstons showing us, 2 of them.

If you were drafting, that 5th would be our only other pick for the next 2 years.

2014 browns and colt vs. Broncos and Quinn afc championship.

Is that the Wing Bowl?

It’s gonna be the end of the world here when Quinn beats the Steelers tomorrow.

2012

Are you kidding me? I’ll be running up and down the streets screaming either “Brady motherfuckin Quinn again!” or “How bout them Steelers?!” May even sing their atrocious super bowl song.

The LG telling the C when to snap is cracking me up.

DUDE!! I was thinking the same thing. Saw it this morning in the North Dakota State game. Makes me laugh also.

Like yeah, the D isn’t going to be able to figure that out.

I saw it last night in the Arkansas game too. The LDE was getting good jumps off it.

Who’d of thunk Dalton would have been this good? Not me.

BOaB did.

BOaB?

burntorangeandbrown.

Ok. I’ll buy that man a Miller lite.

I think he was the only one here that called it. He should get a 12 pack.

There may have been one other. Forget who it was though.

that would be me, i also said i thought he was someone we should pick up because of his ability to read the defenses a little better than who else was available as QB.

12 it is.

Bohemia, thanks.

burntorangeandbrown - January 8, 2012 reply

Red power

Still not buying yet.

Hasn’t looked good tonight.

Any one here besides me want to see Quinn get into the game and torch Pissburg?

Noooooooooooooooo.

being ’tebow’ed way more embarrassing. Denver won’t make it past 2nd round so win win

'thedrive'ruinedmy9thbirthday - January 7, 2012 via Android app reply

I do. He did it before.

Yes, think he got a raw deal here.

He kind of backed himself into that corner.

Yeah not to rip the scab off the wound, but I think his agent really laid the foundation for screwing him up.

The hold out screwed him over.

Indeed. maybe his agent knew he was a bum and wanted to milk him of what he was still considered valuable.

Sort of, but his whole time here was a non-stop QB controversy with DA. He deserved some time to develop. That said, I wasn’t all that high on him at ND anyway so it doesn’t surprise me. He clearly had some talent. Too bad nobody here could develop it.

Chuck does look slimmer.

You know it’s a good football stadium when you can barely hear the announcers over the crowd.

They’re loud as hell.

Loudest place ever….old Seattle Kingdome.

Damn, that’s old skool.

Why waste a challenge if you have a 3rd and short coming up?

Silly Marvin

Hey Moe! Hey Larry! Woo woo woo!

That penalty hurt.

BB is still alive? He looks no older than when his hubby was POTUS.

She is rather mannish, is all.

what are these “playoffs” you speak of?

Believe it or not… good teams do play extra games after the regular season.

huh, who’da thunk it!?

Playoffs???

Tie goes to the receiver.

Two stupid challenges by Cincy. That’s embarrassing.

Marvin is all world bad with his challenges.

That was pathetic.

Makes you wonder what the knuckleheads in the replay booth are doing?

You are all about the three stooges references today. Heh.

Soitenly! Can’t wait for the movie coming out in April.

there’s a new movie coming out?! who’s in it?

Will Sasso is supposed to play Curly.

Used to be Ron

Mostly no names…Farrely brothers produced and directed….looks like a great tribute. Most recognizable is Will Sasso (Mad TV) as Curly.
http://www.threestooges.com/movie/

Here’s the trailer…Sasso is great and the guy playing Moe is spot on.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4IoUo_ZJkY

i’m watching this movie

Sneak preview of Heckert, Holmgren, and Murmur in the draft room….last one I promise (maybe..).

haha

My dad loved the Stooges. Had some good laughs watching it with him.

i loved watching the stooges also, and little rascals, then “super-host”. those were great saturdays

IMO the new movie might ruin the respect to the Stooges.

Nah….Farrely bros are huge fans, trailer looks great….should be a good tribute.

I just have a problem with the goofy remakes. Too much good stuff has been screwed up lately.

Super-host, there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Before my time though mostly.

GIVE ME THAT SHOE!!

i’ll be 40 in a couple weeks, but superhost was part of my saturday’s. love godzilla-vs-mothera!

OHHHHH!

JJ WATT!

DAYUM!

YESSSSSSSSSSS! HOUSTON!!!

That was SIC!

Catches better than our WRs

I think he had Stick Um on his hands….

Hell yeah! They’re playing Bulls on Parade! Totally fitting.

JJ Friggin’ Watt

We may have had won a few more games if our guys who are paid to catch caught more passes that hit them like these teams. And I’m not talking about athletic plays just the drops. It may not be all on colt and pat.

I absolutely feel the same way.

Dream scenario….Hou wins, Tebow Tebow’s the Steelers. Hou beats Balt, Tebow Tebow’s the Pats, then Tebow get’s Tebowed by Hou in AFC Champ game.

Keep dreaming. haha

We’re Browns fans….it’s all about the Dream.

I want what he said to happen, but it’s not gunna happen.

And then Houston gets creamed by the 49ers. Since we’re dreaming and all.

NOOO!

Hope Rodgers retains the belt. Or Lions…that would be cool to see one of our Lake Erie brethren do it.

Screw Detroit!

Hells no. That Harbaugh guy wouldn’t flood this board.

Anyone follow Bernie on twitter? We need to teach the legend how to tweet…and spell. For probably one of the most intelligent QB’s of all time his tweets are funny….

@BernieKosarQB

Drunk tweeting never goes well.

LOL. That’s what I assumed, but as Ohio’s only resident with KOSAR on his Browns plate, didn’t want to say it.

haha that’s cool. My dog -———————————————>
That’s Kosar.

drunk dbn’ing does go well either…i know

I loved the shot of Goodel sitting by himself looking around aimlessly.

And I’ve only wached 3 Texan games this year, and each one Watt has been a beast.

redCel - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Can the Browns scrap the West Coast, and model it more after the Bills K-Gun offense with Jim Kelly…much more fun.

Give it some time. It’s a “process”.

dude chill out, they’re battling…

I have to say: this is a pretty good game. If it were a Browns game I’d be on the edge of my seat.

If it were a Browns game it wouldn’t be called a playoff game.

Frosty? Did his mom screw a snowman?

Enough with the ED commercials.

My, aren’t we sensitive…

No one wants to think about old people boning except maybe old people.

Exactly!

Even then, it’s iffy…

Old people lose their bone because they’re not meant to make babies. Simple Darwinism.

Agreed. J/k @ BY. They are ridiculous. The best/worst one is the guy finally able to throw the football through the tire. Verrrrrrrrrrrrry subtle.

Lol

The guy BBQ’n and doesn’t drop the top when it starts raining is the one that gets me pissed.

My favorite is Smilin’ Bob. Haven’t seen him in a while though.

He’s a great golfer!

I’m old and I don’t even want to think about it. I’m sick of those commercials. Could they make them more cheesy?

I trust the Farrelly brothers. Moe does to Snookie what we all want to do to the Guido D-Bag Jersey shore cast!

I approve.

athensdawg approves this message…

Texans with all the momentum.

Gervais got the Golden Globes again? Surprised after he took those shots at religion.

Have I mentioned how filthy Foster is?

This Yates guy looks pretty good.

I’d say so, but last time I did I got in a pissing match with someone who said McCoy is way more talented.

Can only imagine who that was with.

not johnnypronto.

Nail in the coffin?

Probably. Cinci looks pretty dejected/frustrated.

Cincy is done.

That was great play by Simpson.

Simpson’s got mad hops.

Don’t you mean mad ‘buds’?

Is that a pot joke?

Giggity.

everybody got a bud

Cincy could trade up to 4 and get Claiborne…they got the ammo and Pacman is cancer.

Just another scenario maybe.

redCel - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Not sure if he’s a cancer any more but he sure does suck.

agreed.

Woah, you think they would give us their 2 first rounders? Probably not but when has anyone had 3 first round picks? Even if they are in the bottom half..

lol “On 4th down and 3, Cincinnati will go for it”. They’re in punt formation, you idiot!

nuk nuk indeed

WTF was that? Good job Dalton.

An extended punt.

I guess the outcome wasn’t bad. But it was a poor play.

Question… Did TJ Yates just steal Shaub’s spot?

If he beats the Gayvens…then maybe 10% chance.

I don’t think so. Schaub is a bit more consistent than Yates at this point from what I’ve seen.

But do you think a team will try to grab him as a starter? It’s looking like Shaub 2.0 when Shaub played for Atlanta.

I think that is possible, esp. if Houston can advance beyond the next round.

I certainly hope so. I hope desperate teams scoop up him and Flynn. Gives us less competition for a QB in the draft.

Hmm, that’s a good way at looking at it.

Wicked coverage there.

FYI, next game thread is up for the Lions/Saints game, when that starts:

Chris Pokorny - January 7, 2012 reply

Sweet. More Browns Nation playoff therapy.

And that’s the end of the game…

Yeah. Time to shower and shave for this stupid ass company party I agreed to go to. If the hotel room wasn’t paid for I wouldn’t go.

Wow.

OH SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!

wow

'thedrive'ruinedmy9thbirthday - January 7, 2012 via Android app reply

They just keep pouring it on.

Just checked out the Bungles blog…can someone tell me why every post they make is a subject? Noticed that with the Bills blog earlier this year too…

A lot of blogs do that. We take pride in NOT using the subject line.

We’re actually in the minority in that regard on SBN.

I like it our way….just like our rich Browns tradition….

We will never top the Stooler drought from 1933 to 1972 no matter how bad it gets…

subject line? we don’t need no stinkin’ subject line…hahahahahaha!

Cushing blasted that dude!

Must be on a cycle.

You see that? Dude flew back like 3 yards.

I really thought this game would be a LOT closer. Hou really turned it on in the third.

Colt haters take note: you can win a playoff game with TJ freakin’ Yates when you have an elite receiver and running back.

hanover fist - January 7, 2012 reply

and one of the best defenses in the league, and you’re playing the Bengals

bingo

You have to be in the playoffsto do it though. 4 wins doesn’t cut it

I don’t care if the Browns stick with an average QB and get talented, play making WRs and RBs, or find a great QB and at least average WRs/RBs – either would be a vast improvement.

AJ Green is amazing but I just saw a play where he’s standing there holding his dong instead of trying to block for another reciever right near him. I hate receivers who don’t block. Good teams have receivers who hold their blocks forever, that’s how they make 20+ yard plays.

one reason i didnt want him, dont need a dong holder. we got too many of those as it is.

I thought we cut our dong holder already

joehaden23 Joe Haden
We will be there soon!!! @BossWard43 @PhilTaylor98 @ColtMcCoy @MDOTADAMS20!!

It is hard to hate on Haden.

I already tweeted him the Jim Mora clip

Kudos to TJ Yates

Managed the game well. Only a couple dumb plays that didn’t end up hurting them.

Watching Harrison and this crew on NBC is painful…can we bring back Criqui, Enberg, and the old school NBC crews?
