Anyone else get switched over to the Colts-Browns game? Exciting finish about to go down.

Congrats to the Lions. May they stay undefeated the rest of the way

Definitely Slay's worst game of the season. He looked kind of lazy out there today and got penalties or got beat because he was trying to catch back up to the WR.

Should help bring him down to Earth for the last few games, hopefully. He's been very good so far this year, just needs to keep games like this one few and far between, imo...

I am just glad he is having less bad than good games. He is still developing and we all knew there would be bumps in the road. This rush has surely helped him look much better. He did great against Bears duo IMO last week and well not so good with Evans. Who has made many DBs struggle this season.

Yeah I have it too. Luck isn't going to last taking hits like that.

You just born recently? 2011 say.

The fuck have I been?

For whatever reason, I had convinced myself that was another 9-7 season like 1997.

Listening on XM. This Browns guy is fricking killing me. Screaming on every play. Decent called. Color guy, not so much.

Browns doing best SOL impersonation. Cundiff missed aFG and Hoyer had a pick inside the ten.

How did Fox get an AFC game?

You must be pretty young.

Nope born in 79. 2011 was similar to this season. But this year we have salted away 4 games on the ground. I guess what I mean is this we just aren't outscoring people but we are kilking bad defenses and our defense has kept us in all but two games. We have won games "easily" because of that.

Being a long time Lions fan. I completely understand. Only 20 years for me.

 

[gandydancer]

Wow Gordon trying to his best CJ.

Hoyer flat out sucks...its bench time for him. WTF are they waiting for.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Pretty good game overall for the Lions. Caldwell pissed me off from the get go by not kicking a field goal. To me it's idiotic to not take 3 points there(on your first drive get points). Then to top it all off you run it into the Bucs D-line which is actually pretty decent. Our blocking still was a major weak point. Isoating our corners is our weakness on D..thats the formula to attack us. Anyway..A win is a win, take care of business next weak at home vs Minny and we are looking pretty good. There is still that miracle scenerio where we go into Lambeau in the dead of winter and take the division in the back of my mind....but I dont want to look to far ahead, 2 more to get first.

They are waiting for another NFL QB to be on their roster.

Exactly, browns dont have a decent QB. At least hoyer has a good game every once in a while. Manziel is not the answer. Geno smith is not the answer for the jets, bridgewater for the vikings, dalton for the bengals, kaepernick for the niners, wilson for the hawks, foles for the eagles..

Very true. To me taking out the guy that got you to this point meant you were packing it in. With the log jam for two wild cards spots in AFC the Browns still have a very small shot. Hoyer may suck but still gives them best chance to win. Everybody wants QBs to come in and start day one. Setting Manziel up for definite failure with that IMO.

Well that non QB back-up came in last week threw 2 lasers then ran in a nice TD. I wouldnt be surprised if he starts next week and lights up the scoreboard.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Dont count out Johnny football. Especially for what the Browns need...not alot, just better than the nothing they have now.

Wait, did you just throw Russell Wilson in the same category as Dalton and Geno Smith? Lmao cmon man get outta here with that BS
