well, there you go...

good game, but the better team won imo, and i hate admitting that about the Rams...
I'd say so.

When I saw the inactives I didn't think Browns had a shot. Defense stepped up which made it more frustrating to lose a game they had a real shot to win.

Baker another off game, but I'd lay more blame on the coach for that one. Not only no runs with a first and goal from the 4, but on 3 of 4 plays didn't even have a RB in the backfield. No play action? Misdirection? WR in motion with a fake to one of them?

Glad your team did what most thought they would.....win next week and this loss will be forgotten.

Hah.

Pump the breaks man.

You just beat a lousy team and Saquon is going to miss some games.

Was an impressive debut though.
all I'd be saying.....the grief NYG took for taking him was absurd. Teams don't care where guys who don't run drafts rank players predraft.

Yeah, it's kind of interesting. On the one hand, they took a guy at #6 that could have gotten at #17.

On the other hand, if he's your guy, why not take him as early as possible?

End of the day though, you're right, if the guy can play, the team doesn't care where some website ranked him before the draft.

But, if he can't play, they get roasted.

There was an interesting stat on him at one point during the game.

On passes where he had the ball for more than, I believe, 2.5 seconds, he was something like 2 for 12. But on passes where he had the ball for less than 2.5 seconds, he was something like 11 for 13.

Maybe he works best when he doesn't have time to screw the play up by thinking? lol

I saw that stat, and yeah he definitely did better when when the play-calling was designed for quick hitters. the Rams were taking away most of his deep options, so the Skidmarks shoulda went the West Coast "death by potato peeler" option imo...

So first the SF Giants win 3 titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

Warriors win 3 ships in 2015, 2017 and 2018, with 5 straight finals appearances.

Now the Niners are going to win the 2020 Superbowl.

What a time to be alive.

That was a good game between the Giants and Bucs yesterday. Tough injury for Barkley though.

And then Giannis, Klay, and Steph win titles in 2022 and 2023. Truly a golden age

That jackass Art Modell fired Paul Brown.

The Cuyahoga River caught on fire.

The Indians were so bad for so long they made a movie (Major League).

Former Cavs owner Ted Stepien fired Chuck Daly

That dumbass Jimmy Haslam kept Hue Jackson around after going 0-16.


You can fuck off. :heh:

Sure and who knows they could have gotten him at 17? Because some guy who isn't in a draft room says so?

Always found it hilarious when fans think more likely a team reached as opposed to thinking maybe the mocker who guessed where a guy would be picked was wrong.
