Hopefully you see this buddy!

Thanks for remembering, mate. 

I had seen the thread, but I have been really out from the NFL and I'm not going to be able to follow it this year, so instead of moving numbers up and down trying to do some lazy guesswork, I think I will pass.

I too believe you won't see much of me from now on, I have some big changes in my life atm (everything for good).

Take care guys. Don't you doubt that anytime I check on the NFL I will be looking and rooting for the Browns

12. How many TOTAL yards (rushing AND receiving) and TOTAL TDs does Kareem Hunt have?

Browns57: 975, 7
Nero: 700, 6
Flugel: 1050, 8
Bob806: 898, 8
TexAg: 580, 10
jcam222: 1000, 7
DBone: 494, 5
Unsympathetic: 850, 8
gumby: 855, 8
SDBacker: 889, 6
Dutch Oven: 1005, 8
Coyote: 833, 5
mjp28: 707, 7
Zombo: 610, 6
Syd: 850, 7

Answer: Kareem Hunt had a fairly quiet season, in what was probably his last with the Browns. He combined for 678 yards (468 rushing, 210 receiving) and 4 touchdowns (3 rushing, 1 receiving). 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: With the Browns having many high-priced players on the roster now, Chubb most likely will be somewhere else in 2023, and to be honest, the Browns can probably find someone who can produce at Hunt's present ability for far less money. Still, if this was the end of his run here in Cleveland, it was a good one. In his four seasons in Cleveland, Hunt ran the ball 442 times for 1874 yards (4.2 avg) and 16 touchdowns, and caught 132 passes for 973 yards (7.4 avg) and 7 touchdowns. mjp28 wins this one.

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... With what shouldn't have been an overly optimistic prediction, Flugel gets this one. 

I was closer than mjp28. I might haven't posted anything in a few months, but I still care about the important stuff

I think Brissett did a good job during 11 weeks where mostly the defense wasn't playing good, costing us some wins (we could have started 5-0 easily). 

We went 4-7, and it is hard to believe that we are going to reach the playoffs this year, so I think it is the perfect spot to start the guy the OF put all the chips in. 

He shows all the rust in the world and some more, but defense and special teams pull out their best performance of the season,and we get a W. 

I just hope Watson takes this as a wake-up call and gets to his level, and Browns fans don't kill each other in the meantime. We're not winning the Superbowl this year, and we have been to bigger shitshows, so let's see how this turns out.

I feel stupid for just thinking of this (thank you ESPN) but if the Browns keep Hunt for the season, and let him walk, won't they get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick for him when he leaves for free agency?

If so, why wouldn't the Browns keep him? 

And I think you can know the compensatory pick before hand, so you only accept trades above that value. 

I'm barely awake. Great victory. Let's get better. Love the Browns, love you guys.

Baker's on my TV again. 

You mean the guy of the commercials? What does he do, is he a football player too? 

Just now, Dutch Oven said:

Well it wouldn't be a Browns game without an offsides by a Browns DE 😆

I understand falling offsides on the hard count, or trying to get a sack... But I'll never understand how they LINE UP offsides...

TOUCHDOWN!

Holy shitballs, never saw this coming!

Fuck fantasy football, I love this.

Missed pick up on the pressure by Kareem.  That stings, because they had man coverage.

I think Jacoby changes Hunt from his left to his right and that screws him bad. 

I'm no QB, but Jacoby sees the blitz, changes the play... And doesn't realize that he will have no time...? 

To the "would you've kicked it?" debate, I have to say that I don't like it unless you get 3+ yards every single play you are runnig the ball. You only need 2 yards to get the 2 point conversion.

Nice drive, good TD, and Amari getting some key catches. Let's keep it going!

We got away with a kind of hold by Hunt defending that pass to Cooper...

I was just going to comment that the defense has been playing better of late, but didn't want to jinx it.

Now the blame goes to you. 😁

I will sleep over it (if the game goes 2TD up or looks bad, I'm outtie). 

And man I found a stream of the Manning brothers and I'm glad I don't have to listen to Joe Buck. 

Say what you want about this team. But Woods still alive.

Anyone think it is odd that the Bengals seem to have no interest in taking advantage of the porous soft underbelly that is the Browns interior DLine? 

Yeah, I think the same. Mostly because the one who runs through there is Joe Mixon...

I don't mind the call at all, if I'm honest. But Amari doing that is beyond stupid

WHY DO YOU THROW IT LIKE THAT ON FIRST DOWN!!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't care if he's a receiver... Man...

OK guys, I finally decided to watch this. I hope I sleep very little hours simply because I decided to watch a good football game by the Browns  

I need Joe Mixon to score over 30,5 points to win my fantasy matchup against my brother. I don't know what is more sad, the fact that I don't have much interest in pulling an overnight despite having holiday tomorrow, or that I believe that Joe might win me the fantasy looking at how good we are at defending the rush...

That Pats letdown happened a week earlier than expected, and on the offensive side of the ball.  

 Their defense struggled at times with the DET running game. With Barmore out and against a run heavy/dependent team like the Bears though?  Pats -9 was a bait for anybody who put $ on it.   

Oh man, I avoided a bullet there. Someone had a higher waiver priority so I went for Dallas defense which killed it. In fact I'm thinking of keeping it the whole way.

I woule have paid money to be in the film study yesterday when this play was shown to the players. 

You simply can't grasp the power of a staring tackle. It's unfathomable.

IIRC, the NFL is the only professional sports league that doesn't have paid full time officials. With their multi-billion dollar revenue streams, they can certainly afford to do so. You have guys whose day jobs are accountants and  lawyers reffing NFL games as a sideline. 

This. x1000. 

This is something unacceptable in one of the most profitable sports in the world, which moves billions a year. 

Coming from soccer, it was surprising for me to know this, and it is still hard to understand, even more when there's always so much controversy. 

The heck, even the FIFA decided to insert some technology to improve the refereeing overall. 

That's really cool. I feel like I had a glance into a beautiful life. Things like this help to overcome the mourning: cherising the gift of the memories we could made with a loved one.
