    Except the Jets, we destroyed the Jets. Plus I don't think Denver is that crappy, they should have beat the Bears, Colts, and Jags except for last minute drives aided by some bad calls and kickers being clutch. Denver could easily be 6-3

    Seriously? We made the AAF QB into Joe Montana.

    It's too easy. Even at 2-6 there's a straight line. 

    First, win out. We only play crap from here on out, so that's no problem. We finish at 10-6, 6-0 in the division. 

    That puts us ahead of the Bungholes, they've already lost more games. 

    Beating the Squeenutz twice puts them at 10-6 at best and we have the tiebreaker. Done. 

    Our only problem is the Cravens. But we already beat them in their dump-ass stadium. Really thumped them too. We'll beat them again in Cleveland, so that gives them 3 losses. They need 3 more for us to take the division. Luckily, I found those losses: vs Texans, at Rams, vs 49ers. Maybe at Bills too. 

    Final divison table:

    1. Browns 10-6, 6-0 division

    2. Cravens 9-7, 4-2 division

    3. Squeenutz 6-10, 2-4 division

    4. Bungholes 0-16, 0-6 division, Paul Brown rises from dead to retract the team, NFL is better for it. 

    So that's how we win the division, make the playoffs, host a playoff game, and save Christmas. Pretty damn easy. 

    I wish you weee right but there is one huge flaw in your path. We cannot beat crap teams. We showed that clearly last week.

    I've always eaten whatever I want and am in great shape.  This so called Keto is nothing but what used to be called something else.  It's a fad. 

     

    When it’s unhealthy

    Critics say the keto-type diets usually work only in the short term and can be unhealthy.

    For starters, most of the lost weight is water weight, according to Lisa Cimperman, R.D.N., a clinical dietitian at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

    “Once your body enters ketosis, you also begin to lose muscle, become extremely fatigued, and eventually enter starvation mode. Then it actually becomes even harder to lose weight,” Cimperman told Healthline.

    Mawer said he doesn’t believe the keto diet causes muscle loss. He did caution it’s not optimal for someone trying to gain muscle.

    Other experts interviewed by Healthline had stronger words of caution.

    “Keto diets should only be used under clinical supervision and only for brief periods,” Francine Blinten, R.D., a certified clinical nutritionist and public health consultant in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, told Healthline. “They have worked successfully on some cancer patients in conjunction with chemotherapy to shrink tumors and to reduce seizures among people suffering from epilepsy.”

    In the general population, Blinten said a keto diet should only be considered in extreme cases.

    “It can do more harm than good. It can damage the heart, which is also a muscle,” she explained.

    Anyone with type 2 diabetes can benefit from weight loss and a reduced-carb diet because it will improve insulin sensitivity, Cimperman explained.

    “But there are many other ways to do it besides a fad diet that won’t keep weight off long-term,” she said.

    Blinten, who has used a keto diet for some cancer patients in specific circumstances, cautioned, “people will do anything to get the weight off.” However, a keto diet will do more harm than good for the majority of patients, especially if they have any underlying kidney or liver issues.

    “People are using this for cosmetic reasons, but it’s so extreme that it’s dangerous,” she said.

    The feeding tube approach

    Some have taken the keto diet a step further, using a feeding tube inserted into the esophagus through the nose.

    Dieters adhere to a strict 800-calorie high-protein, no-carb diet administered through the tube by a slow-drip pump mechanism. Only black coffee, tea, or water is allowed in addition to the liquid diet.

    A Florida doctor, Oliver Di Pietro, has been offering this tube diet to anyone who can pay the $1,500 cost. According to a 2012 local news report, Di Pietro learned of the diet while on a trip to Italy. He insists the keto diet is safe and effective, even for those wanting to shed just a few pounds.

    “This is a ridiculous approach to weight loss,” said Cimperman.

     

    With an 800-calorie-a-day diet, “you’re essentially starving yourself,” Cimperman said. “Of course you will drop weight.”

    Anything under a 1,200-calorie daily diet is considered a starvation diet and is not meant for long-term weight loss.

    Tube feeding is a legitimate tool in a hospital setting, she explained.

    “Someone who is on a ventilator, or can’t swallow because of a stroke or cancer, might have to eat this way. But it’s usually used as a last resort,” she said.

    “In an otherwise healthy individual it can create serious complications, including infections if the tube gets contaminated, increased sodium levels, and it can cause dehydration and constipation,” Cimperman added. “What would even possess people to want to walk around with a tube up their nose?”

    Melinda Hemmelgarn, a registered dietitian in Columbia, Missouri, and host of the Food Sleuth radio show, told Healthline, “It’s crazy to consider sticking a tube down your nose to lose weight. It sounds to me like somebody is making a lot of money on someone else’s vulnerabilities. Just say no to this idea.”

    Don’t become weight obsessed

    Hemmelgarn advised anyone thinking of going on a fad diet to “keep food in perspective. It’s a gift. It’s how we nourish ourselves and stay well.”

    Marketing this diet to brides just plays into our weight-obsessed society, according to Hemmelgarn.

    Instead, anyone preparing for marriage should nourish herself well, engage in plenty of physical activity like walking, jogging, or bike riding, and be good to herself by eating fresh, whole, minimally processed organic foods.

    There is no magic bullet for long-term weight loss, said Blinten. For long-term weight control, a Mediterranean style diet focused on fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, fish, and olive oil, is one that can be healthy for life.

    “We fall prey to wacko diets, but the truth is there’s no quick fix,” Blinten said. “Cutting refined carbs and replacing them with fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein, cutting processed foods, and avoiding too many additives will keep you healthy in the long term.”

    Cimperman said the healthiest approach to weight loss is to set realistic goals and ask yourself if your diet plan is:

    • good for the long term
    • includes exercise
    • meets your long-term health goals.

    If the answers are no, then that is a red flag, she cautioned.

    Blinten advised dieters not to skip meals because your body goes into overdrive the next time you eat. That can actually cause you to eat more, not less. She suggested eating your largest meal at midday, then having a healthy afternoon snack.

    “It keeps your metabolism and insulin levels more regular,” she explained.

    Exercise, of course, is also vitally important. Every pound of muscle equals 50 calories burned, so a plan that includes a muscle enhancing regimen will help you reach your goal faster.

    Hemmelgarn added, “Stay away from fashion magazines. They make us feel inadequate. If you are even considering this insane approach to weight loss, go for a walk … right now! It’ll clear your head.”

     

     

    Different eating styles work for different people. For me keeping carbs very low isn’t just weight management it also makes me feel better. It also is a great approach for someone who has a lot of diabetes in the family tree.

    I am not sure how to truly define a troll. I was truly rooting for the Browns. It is true that I tease folks here and there but everyone is so soft that it is just too tempting. Do you really want a board that only has people that think exactly alike? You would not last a week in Philly bru

    Bru??? Seriously what adult your age says that?Who gives a fuck about lasting in Philly?  I’m just hoping the mods change your name to Cocktoad

    Easy fix - discipline especially when it comes to turnovers. 

    310 to 318 yards.   3 turnovers vs the Pats 0.  That is the difference in these games.  Can't win consistently, let alone at all, when you live on the minus side of that differential. 

    I agree discipline is the issue. I keep hearing though how they know it and will fix it. You say it’s an easy fix. How do you fix lack of discipline on the field?

    I believe the players who are making mistakes constantly won't be here next year. Meanwhile,

    not much to do to fix the oline and TE positions. This oline can't compete with the better defenses

    the Browns have been facing. I hope they go on a winning run. It isn't like the patriots beat the Browns 42 to 7.

    Without penalties I think we beat the Patriots today. Our running game was dominant. It’s going to get even better. Some kind of change needs to happen now to drive discipline. If we need to fire a coach or bench a “star” so be it.
