You piss off. You quoted me, Bud. If bitching makes you feel better, fine, but I'm not really interested in hearing you whine. Z

Well we didn't do that. So send in your resume when Stefanski's job opens up since you have all the answers. Z

The entire offense struggled, I assure you he's doing his best, what do you suggest we do, take him out back and shoot him? Z

So if they beat Baltimore does that mean they can beat anybody? Z

Congrats, gentlemen! Who is Zerovoltz ... And why did he quit picking? Z

This is the point of the Season I have been waiting for since the schedule came out. Back-to-Back games with the Ravens, time for us to bury some ghosts ... Wait, can you bury ghosts? Bury some Dead Rats then. Last year we became a good team ... Now is the time to become a dominant team. Do I hear snickers from the Peanut Gallery? Well, let me tell you ... If you told me before the the season that Wills would get injured rght away and miss games, Hubbard went out for the Season in the first game, and Conklin would follow them with a long IR stint ... That Baker would suffer four different major injuries, miss a game, and struggle to finish others ... that Chubb would miss two games with injury and one with Covid and Hunt would miss the entire middle of the season ... that Landry would play the season injured and OBJ would do absolutely nothing before being booted off the team for being an asshat ... and that JOK, Clowney and just about everyone in the secondary would miss games with injuries ... and that we would be 6-5 with a chance to control our own destiny in the AFC North with everyone finally getting healthy ... I'd take it! You can't get mad at injuries ... and we knew OBJ was a flake. Hell, we are two game out of the #1 Seed in the whacky season in the AFC ... The weather is getting cold, and we've got the best running game in the league and the best pass rusher in the league .... I'll take our chances! The ONLY thing that I am disappointed in this Season is Cleveland Browns fans. Not most of you ... but there is this big mass of grumbling, hating, Debbie Downers just crapping on our boys as we work through our second consectutive winning season, fresh off a playoff win ... after 20 plus years of suffering. I don't get it. Where did these self-entitled spoiled Steeler-like fans come from? Why so bitter? These guys are playing hard for you ... while injured! But here is the Browns chance to become a dominant team over the next two games ... and here's your chance to become a better fan. Go all in tonight ... and BELIEVE. You might enjoy the ride. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, 1:00 PM On the Undercard, it is the Bungles hosting the Steelers ... who they handled pretty easily at the Confluence. So I think they'll handle them pretty well Downstream as well. Steelers offense is underwhelming, and the Bungles run the rock better. BUNGLES 26 STEELERS 17 Cleveland at Baltimore , Sunday 8:20 PM Sunday Night Football These are not the Ravens of the past two years. Their offensive line is not good, their stable of running backs is gone, they are barely beating the weaker teams. But ... They still have a dangerous QB, a dangerous defense, a dangerous coach ... and they are still 7-3. The Browns come in relatively healthy for the first time since the season began and add two HUGE additions to their offense ... All Pro RT Jake Conklin and All Everything RB Kareem Hunt. The Browns will run, they will screen, they will play action, and they will run some more on the Ravens. Defensively the guy we drafted just for Jacko ... JOK ... is also back. While Lamar is worrying where he is, Myles will be coming from behind him and crushing his skull. Run game, play action, defense ... Boom! This is where we take over the Rivalry ... And the division. BROWNS 30 RAVENS 21 TGZ

Bitch please. They are vulnerable to the pass rush, and we have the best pass rusher in the world. No one runs as well as us when Chubb and Hunt are healthy behind that line. No one. And I am so sick of you guys ragging on Baker, this is the first time he will have both of his starting tackles healthy since the first quarter of the first game, and Hunt is our most important receiver and a qbs best friend. Sit back and remember why we love Baker. Z

Too much going on there ... what is your point? That you feel like the Season will be lost if we don't start Case Keenum at QB? I love Case, but he is a backup. Four franchises let him start, four franchises let him go and replaced him with a better option the next year. Baker is the unquestioned starter, and he is going to play. If he is physically capable of playing, he is starting. So maybe it's time for an attitude change for ol' Lar. Try replacing "Baker Mayfield is ruining our chances" to "Damn, that kid is fighting so hard, I'm rooting for him. I hope he beats Baltimore and gets healthy and then we make another run like last year! That was fun! Winning is fun! Rooting for a warrior like Baker is fun! I'm going to save my best wine for Sunday Night after Baker and the Browns beat Baltimore!" Your life will become better, You'll wake up happy and hopeful. Food will taste better, Your laundry will smell better. Your wife won't remind you so much of Baker Mayfield. Zombo

It kinda sounds like your wife is Baker's personal voodoo doll. Z

You understood the assignment, now let me pick apart your response: He's had a good offensive line (when healthy) and he has one of the quickest releases in the NFl, so I can see where he gets into the habit of holding the ball too long, but that is not something that can't be improved, 4th year or not. As for deciphering coverage, I think he is damn good at it, which is one of the reasons he's holding the ball long and leaving the pocket ... Because he knows where Not to throw it. With all the criticism he is taking this year, he has a lower Int percentage than both Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. Hmmm ... Do you mean this year, the banged up Baker with his 3 top Tackles injured or out, or is this something you brought up last year too? Ya, I'm gonna go ahead an call bullshit on that one. I have seen some spectacular sideline throws delivered on a laser. He throws an out as good as anyone ... unless you've got some stats to prove me wrong. Well, so if you have an above average starter in this league, what do you do? You certainly give him a second conteact. I'll leave the numbers to Berry and Depo, but if you think the better call to let him go somewhere else and start all over with some mid-round rookie with a 50/50 shot of making it ... No. You can build a winning team around this guy ... Oh, wait, we already did that. Zombo

We've won 2 of the last three since ya'll declared him, and the season, dead. Z

Well, that's because you enjoy being a shithead. (I mean that in the nicest way) We don't need a miracle, we need to continue a winning formula while his body recovers. He's capable of putting it together, as we saw in Cincinnati. And now with another week to heal, and Conklin and Hunt back, there's is no reason why Baker and the Browns can't rise to the challenge this Sunday Night. Z

Did you miss last year, Bud? Z

We've won two out of three while he recovers, we're not going to make the switch now, or ever. I'm glad we are on the road this week, in Primetime, Baker is going to shine, because no one has been harder on his performance than himself, and no one knows how to make it better than himself. Then he gets two weeks off to rest his bruises, breaks and pains, and we continue our assault on the AFC North. This storyline is setting us up for glory, I'm glad I will be able to say I backed him 100% when he was suffering, because the rewards are tenfold when you believe in something or someone. Go get em, Brownies, we got them right where we want them! Z

What limitations? Other than being hurt. This season got ugly right away with Wills going down in Week 1, then Hubbard, then Conklin. As a consequence, Baker has been knocked around like never before, suffered three painful injuries that would have benched a lesser man ... and THAT has limited him. But when he's healthy ... like last year ... what are his limitations? Please list them. Z

We won a tough, ugly game, and our quarterback gutted it out, because it's his job. If you're not with him when he's suffering, don't be jumping back on his bandwagon when he catches fire like he did last year. I'm so impressed with him gutting out that win, that I'd re-sign him this week and tell the the media and the fickle fans to go fuck themselves. Z

Baker tells it like it is. No bullshit. My favorite Cleveland Brown in a long time. I follow his wife on Insta. She posts great stuff, she shares fan posts, tons of them. Everyone jumps on this particular one that was in the mix and runs with it, as, sadly our culture has become. I assure you she meant it as no swipe at the rest of the team. She has said so. She's the one that sees him get out of bed in the morning with a purple shoulder, a purple knee and a purple foot. She sees him struggling to get up and go to treatment, she sees how much pain he is in when he gets home. Family Members are protective. Are we really upset that his wife reposted something protective of her husband? It's not like his Daddy was posting videos of all the times he got hit and aimed it at his Oline and posted #FreeBaker and Baker stayed mum on it. What kind of asshole would do that to his teammates? Maybe some douchebag on the Rams ... That shit don't fly in Cleveland. Keep being awesome, Baker, we got your back. Most of us, anyway. Z

Yep, a lot of jockeying ... Champships are won in December and January. A win over the Rats and 7-5 then we've got enough horses as anybody, especially with Conklin and Hunt back. Z

They can beat anyone. No dominant team this year, perfect year to make a run. Z

The defense got two turnovers and held them to 10 points. Our leader gutted it out and got us W. Chubb and his blockers get the game balls, but definitely a team win. Z

Stefanski is running the team. Baker is the starting qb. Nice win. Now take down the Ravens and get a much-needed bye. Huge game this week, I'll expect them to meet the challenge. Z

Well, that's a HELL of a lot better than losing to the worst team in the league... Or tying. Ya gotta win the ugly games. Z

Team win. I'll take it. Z

Sometimes ya gotta win ugly. Take the W and move on. Z
