Nero

So today defense is playing well... Now the offense needs to help out.

Contract year too.  Easy decision. 

I might be oblivious but I haven't seen any contribution by him, and only those 2 stupid plays.

Thanks, I'm using MS Edge... I'll download another browser and try again.  

Chrome. Edge is a make up version of Internet Explorer and that was no good anytime. 

Harrison is the most stupid guy in this defense. Second time he does something silly after the play is over. Thanks for NOTHING!

Same page as reddit and none of them work. I used them the last two seasons and the first few weeks of this season, but something has changed. 

Try restarting your browser, those are working fine for me.

It surprises me that presnap it was an obvious run to the left. We trust our line to win the matchup.... But they completely lost it. They got manhandled.I

If you're going to go for the obvious play it's because you can win the 1 on 1. If not, you move the play elsewhere...

So my tried and trusted illegal streams no longer work, so I'm going to have to lean on the expertise and professionalism of you fine folk. 

All the bases are loaded, and the pitcher is injured. Wait, NFL? 

I'd say it wasn't Baker's nor Hoopers' best. The pass could be better. The catch could be made.

Wah-Wah 

Great pedal.

Sorry you were offended. If I were a redneck I wouldn't think my comment was funny either.

 

Seems like I will have to keep waiting if I want a half inteligent answer...

Connor couldn't stay healthy. He's not a bell cow as a result. He certainly could be but injuries prevented that.  

Still you defended the statement I mentioned, hence my post. Don't come with the BS if you aren't going to look at the big picture

So Browns fans are rednecks?

Are you a redneck Dutch?

 

And the 2021 award for the worst reply to a joke goes to...

I wouldn't take any of them over Harris and that's not a slight to chubb, hunt, Johnson or Felton. Harris is going to be special and he's the genuine article off the field. His media days are refreshing and amusing. 

If I remember correctly, you also defended Conner as a great RB last year, so excuse me if I don't agree with your criteria there, lol. 

I agree with the rest. Let's hope injuries don't pile up and we enjoy a good game this Sunday

It's spelled cannoli...

Here's something this guinea never knew until recently - cannoli is plural. 

If you have one of those delicious phallic-shaped Italian pastries, you have a cannolo. 

And that is the most useless fact you'll ever learn. 😋

Similarly, gnocchi is plural, and the singular is gnocco. 

In italian, plural nouns end with -i. 

Singular masculine nouns with - o and femenine with - a. 

Italiano, italiana, italiani

Fratello, (sorella), fratelli.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the "Well he's not elite but he's plenty good enough" crowd might change their tune after a few years of Baker taking up a huge portion of the salary cap with his new contract and he's the third best QB in the AFC North... 

Agreed. I like him as our QB for the years to come, but if it doesn't mean mortgaging the rest of the roster. 

We could see how well did Baltimore do for years after they payed top bills to an Average Joe... Flacco.

Injuries mount as more players get hurt...

 

Bigger faster stronger. make contact more violent... anyone who thinks more contact in practice would help knows nothing.

 

Staff to blame?  Produce the evidence.... soft tissue vs. Joint.... non-contact vs. contct... etc.... or just bay at the moon.

 

I remember that last year I think it was the Titans who stomped the Bills after having almost no practise due to COVID protocol.

Just seeing this thread now.    I should be on TBB discord for the Thursday game.  Although I'm still mulling over going downtown and possibly meeting up with the Gnats Backers if they're at the Burke for this one.

I'm not staying awake from 2:30 to 6AM to see if somehow our defense improves and Baker does something decent to win the game...

 Follow my advice and we win multiple Super Bowls.

Didn't know we had Paul Brown posting on the Board, what an honor... 

I might sleep all the hours the doctor recommends if this doesn't get better. Offense needs to work around the missing OTs and help the defense or we are doomed.

I would appreciate getting it from you. I can't seem to find a usable stream that they don't want money to use.

Sent a PM

How are you able to get the game Nero? Got a stream that's usable?

yep. With some delay but yes 

If someone wants to have a chat with someone with Spanish accent, you have a chance. I'll be on the Board's Discord server for the game, if anyone wants to come around.

There is no way that a torn labrum in his non-thrrowng shoulder is not impacting his throws, I partially tore my left anterior labrum golfing and tried in vain to let it heal. A year later it would still kill me everytime i tried to reach be behind my bqck. Something which I leaned I did more than I thought I would, e.g., drying off after a shower. It got to where I dreaded any backward/ yorso-rotational reach with my left arm due to anticipation of the pain. I guarantee you that this anticipation has crept into BM's mind. While the non-throwing arm is not powering the ball,it is rotating out of itns way. And then there are the hits.... Corteson can buy a hour or so of relief. But the cartilage will not heal on its own. It is only going to worse,  be more painful and potentially more difficult to repair(?)

My Ortho was able to scope my repair so my recovery time was about 6 weeks. Had he had to open my shoulder up for the repair the time jumped to 6 months. To me it's a no-braainer... shut BM one now and set the Docs to work. Maybe we get him back for a deep playoff run, but we will for sure get him back for an offseason workout to feed our 5th-year option decision. There will be some good, young QBs in the 2022 Draft, if we need to tab one.

Interesting thought, but I think it's hard to make that move when the defense has so many injuries you won't be able to rely on them solely to win the game. 

Brainfart andA couple of thoughts. 

1. That DPI on 4th down is atrocious. Not only BOTH players are handfighting, but whhen the ball reaches them the RECEIVER IS BLATANTLY HOLDING THE CORNERBACK. 

You have 4 options:

A. Don't penalize any action. Browns get the ball.

B. Throw a flag and call both PIs, and offset them. Browns get the ball. 

C. Call the OPI. Browns get the ball.

D. Brainfart and call DPI. Chargers keep the drive alive and ultimately score. 

2. We had like 10 injuries before and during the game? Newsome, Ward, Willis, Clowney, Conclin, Takkaris and Myles are hurt... It's hard to keep playing if half the starters get injured. We need a bye now. 

3. I don't understand the playcalling when the game is on the line: last week Stef called passes when Baker was playing awful and this day, we only had to get A FEW FIRST DOWNS to get the game, and instead of playing 4 downs, etc, offense gets a 3 and out and puts the game in the hands of a depleted offense. 

Seems like we're running and controlling the ball, while Baker is being precise. Good, good. 

(Ive started watching ln the second half.)
