Nice to see my good friend Hal Owen from Cleveland up on the stage last night ....the guy in the pumpkinhead .....
That was a very cool touch. How did he get the gig?

I come and go around this board, but have been around a good while. Some years back, like maybe 14 years ago there was a poster named Shep.
Nice enough guy and fairly knowledgeable, but man, you want to talk about a thread starter. That guy could fart and he would start a thread about it.
Like you, I come and go, and actually remember this as an AOL group... Shep and I met for drinks a couple of times. Helluva a nice guy. Knows his Cleveland Browns football.

Jesus... I just don't get some of you...
Gents... we just went toe to toe with a team that beat us senseless a mere 3 months ago.
Stop and think about that for a minute. If that is not cause for optimism, then I don't know what is.
I'm proud of this team.
Can't agree with you more. How many of us marked up this game as a guaranteed L as soon as the schedule was released?
We've been growing all season... building capital from our wins, learning from our losses.
I am feeling great.

Can’t wait for Delpit, Harrison, Ward and Williams to play next year. I thought upgrading the defense in the offseason would be easy but I’m seeing a more talented group emerge.
I’d add Jacob Phillips to that list. Seems like he’s been dinged up most of the season, but when #50 is on the field he’s always around the ball.

Is Judon on the Covid list?

Excellent OP Bob. Either way, with their starters on the bench or on the field, the Steelers are not going to expose anything new to us or the rest of the league in the last week.

#9 is an interesting historical tidbit.

If it was anyone we could have afforded to lose, it was Hubbard. Phew.

I hate to pile on someone when they are down and it's not my proudest moment, but I agree 100%.
Don't disagree with you.
I like how Pluto summed it up:
"Mayfield looked free and easy because he was simply throwing to the open receiver – no matter who was on the receiving end of his passes. I believe Mayfield often has fixated on throwing to OBJ, or at least looking to OBJ first. The Browns and Mayfield will deny this. Stats show OBJ is receiving the fewest targets of his career in 2020. But my eyes tell me when Mayfield drops back to pass with his main options being Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, the tight ends and running backs – he’s back to 2018. He’s simply playing the game. See an open guy, deliver the pass. Don’t worry about the name on the jersey."

PPF gave him a 39.9 on 17 plays.
Surprised me. In the one four and out I was aware of him, about halfway through the third quarter, he put pressure on Dak, made a nice tackle, broke up a pass... was all over the field.
Tour, what was your take on #50?
I was excited by the flashes I saw.
-
Hope we’re storing the jet sweep somewhere. He was wiiiiiide open down the right side. Even the announcers commented on it.
BTW, I loved Spielman’s enthusiasm yesterday. “CUT BACK!!!!... did I say that out loud” on Chubbs TD run was a highlight for me.

Nice write up.
Appreciate the hard work you put into this.
Was excited by the line last week.
Nice having a fullback!
Look forward to seeing where we go from here.

Been trying to key in on Wills. He’s looking pretty stout.

I'd trade him for a pair of starting Linebackers about now.
But I'm not over reacting.
Week one, brand new coach, new offense, no preseason, playing last years number one seed at their place.
I'll let it burn for a few more weeks.
Don't really get all the Baker hate either. Four head coaches in three years. Four different offenses. Dude could be one of three players in NFL history to throw for 3500+ yards and 20 TD's (Manning and Luck are the only other two...) in their first three seasons and we are ready to move back into QB purgatory for another 10 seasons. That's a hard pass from me. Rewatch the tape from Derek Anderson to present and let me know who you'd take instead.
I wonder what the ‘49ers would give us for OBJ. Would solve big issues for both squads.

Tretter was a GREAT acquisition. On the field. In the clubhouse. As a teammate.
When we turn around, he’s gonna go down with Joe DeLammeleure (sp) as an All Timer.

I actually own a bottle of that '90 Petrus Tour, and I do have a friends & family buyer for it that I'm selling it to at a discount. At $145 dollars an ounce, too rich for my blood.
My opinion on that- I could enjoy it for an hour or so, or have it pay for my Browns season tickets. Not a tough decision. FWIW, I've been fortunate enough to be able to taste on several occasions (and not on my nickel) wines that were in the four figure range if they had been sold instead. Trust me, they weren't 10 times better than $100 dollar bottles, or in some cases not even better than $50 wines. At that rarefied level you're drinking rarity and "prestige". Or you're not too bright. A great example of that is "Ace of Spades" champagne owned by Jay Z. At $300+ bucks a bottle one expert taster said you could do as well for $70.
On a personal level, I was asked to do a Christmas champagne tasting for the local American Wine Society. So I pulled Dom Perignon and Moet's one step down Vintage Brut- at 1\3 the price, served them side by side- but the folks didn't know which was which, or even the producer. Which do you like better? It split right down the middle- so at three times the price, wasn't worth it. I even have a name for it when I teach a wine class. Larry's Logarithmic Law of diminishing returns.
Larry. Where do you put the 1990 Chateau Montrose? That’s my benchmark.
