NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[shopson67]

and that guy got hurt and they literally went with their 5th string guard....and 3rd string RT. Never mind our top 3 CBs were all out (maybe 4?).

But, yeah, just another run-of-the-mill W to a certain someone.

Huge W!!

Let's me at least a little honest here; the Steelers gift wrapped this game in the 1st quarter. Sure, the Browns offense put the ball in the end zone on 3 of those 4 TDs, but you can't ask for a more giving opponent. The Browns are the best they've been in a while, but that still makes them a fringe playoff team. Letting the one dimensional Steelers back into the game late has to scare you with Mahomes looming.

It's also an opportunity for them to show how much they've grown and learned. It's also an opportunity for Baker to step up and show what kind of leader he is.

I wish it was different too. I think it sucks that after all this time, they get to the playoffs and this shit all starts happening to them. But imagine the story if they pull it off.

I wouldn't be so quick to write them off because of the defense. The Steelers haven't exactly been a juggernaut the past few weeks. The Steelers should win the game, even if the Browns were 100%...but if I were a Steelers fan, I'd be worried. Especially if the Browns take a "Fuck it, were gonna just go out there with no pressure and see what happens" attitude.

agree with this.....but winning at close to full strength would have been a nice story. This one goes way beyond.

thought before the game having nothing to lose and all the pressure on Steelers would help a lot.

I gotta really bad feeling about this game, how about you? So the HC (who's also the play caller) plus the OL line coach won't be at the game today.

I predict if Mayfield has a bad game most people will ignore the signal caller & OL coach are out and blame eveything on him.

Obviously after the fact but if you told me we'd have all the issues we did AND the replacement to the replacement at guard would go down as well as Conklin would have thought Baker's gonna have a rough night.

Pretty big game tonight too - Cavs/Memphis

 

[dtgold88]

Nothing we can do, honestly could care less about the critics. Baker loves adversity but if he has no time he isnt Lamar Jackson. All odds are stacked against them but either way it was a great season to watch and the future is bright.

Go Browns!

definitely to our advantage Baker will hear all week he's the second best QB in this game....I mean, he is, of course, but to our benefit.

 

[dtgold88]

Just found out D. Ward, pro bowler Joe Bitonio, cb K. Johnson & wr KhaDarel Hodge also out.


For those that like to gamble. Bet big on the Steelers today.

Never doubt Vegas.....couldn't believe that spread was only 6. way gamblers (especially not the sharks) bet I would be shocked if Vegas did not make a killing.

 

[dtgold88]

It's even more than that, it's like the Steelers are throwing the game

This is better than anything a Browns fan could have dreamed of

when Collinsworth said (I think after we went up 28-0) few browns fans are comfortable yet I thought he had bugged my living room.

 

[dtgold88]

4-2.

Not bad at all

anyone here in a playoff pool run by a guy named Dave S.?

split with a guy and we had a couple nice entries. One 6-0 another 5-1. Yes...some clunkers, too.

K...if you say so.

D ewe saw yesterday might give up 60+ to KC. Return of Ward and Johnson would help a ton. We still might need 50 to win. Though with KC's run d......?

not too worried. our pass D has improved over last season and i doubt they'll run the ball all game long. will say T.O.P. will be key, though. you have to keep Mahomes on the sideline for as long as you can...

Until they lose to someone I wouldn't think you'd be worried. No doubt Browns will need a near perfect game and most of their guys returning. No Ward and Johnson again and I don't see how we keep up. Not if Ben could put up 500+.

that stat i'll certainly give you. that amount of passing yards shouldn't be given up even in an utter blowout...

I mean, we were missing our top 4 CBs and steelers like to throw (because they cannot run).

true. so will any of 'em be back next Sunday...?

 

[Black Adam]

AM looking forward to a good game, though...

Go Chiefs

"pretty big game tonight too- Cavs/Memphis"





Just amazing what the Browns did yesterday. And forget about the national title game. I'm watching the Cavs!

Only 6? Wow. I thought it was 8.5 for some reason when the game started.

 

[Shanemansj13]

we'll know soon enough. Browns Oline is kinda beat up and i'm interested in seeing how their secondary covers Kelce and Hill. I know anything can happen, though...

Should have Bitonio back and Conklin is day to day. If those two are back, they will finally have a healthy OL

you're welcome for the reminder.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah it would just be crazy to list that they overcame anything in the win. No HC, down many assistants, 5th string guard, 3rd string RT. Playing in a stadium team has not won in nearly 20 years.

Just a run of the mill W.

Ya gotta love this forum.

No one sad it was "run of the mill". You can stop making shit up.

 

[trojanfan12]

how about the replacement to the replacement guard and the replacement to the replacement RT?

clearly, you were not backing down on your absurd comments.

I didn't make any absurd statements. It would be a shame if you were to have to "take one for the team" after a win like that because you kept making shit up looking for an argument.
