THE BROWNS BOARD

This Week in the AFC North


Zombo

Recommended Posts

Sigh. I just logged onto NFL.com to read the game preview and the headline is "Last Place Teams Meet in Cleveland" ... even the NFL doesn't know we aren't in last place anymore. I'm thankful we are not. And while I'm being thankful that the bungles suck more than us, here are a few other things we can be thankful for this year:

 

Colt McCoy: Finally a young QB we can build around.

 

Peyton Hillis: A young power back that is going to give us years of enjoyment stomping over our rivals.

 

T.J. "Psycho" Ward: Finally, a tough, hard-hitting safety that'll make other teams think twice before coming over the middle.

 

Alex Mack: Best young center in the game, pulls better than a guard.

 

Ahtyba Rubin: Best run-stuffing interior lineman we have had in years and years.

 

Tom Heckert: The guy that brought us a real draft to grow with.

 

Mike Holmgen: The guy that brought us Tom Heckert (and pushed for Colt McCoy).

 

But most of all, I am thankful we get to play the Bungles and Ravens again. And especially the Steelers. Let's punch Fathead so hard that he doesn't get up this time.

 

Cincinnati at New York Jets Thanksgiving 8:20 PM

Ok, I think I've figured out the Bungles. When you think they are going to win, they lose badly. When you think they are going to lose badly, they lose badly. The Jets corners will have fun toying with the Bungles old man receivers ... I just hope it isn't too bad since I'm forced to start Carson Palmer on my fantasy team this week ... who am I kidding? JETS 30 BUNGLES 10

 

Pittsburgh at Buffalo 1 PM Sunday

The Bills have really surprised me in recent weeks, their offense has come alive with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzryan er, Freddie Jackson. They don't seem to be too much of a luck team though, losing many close and overtime contests, so we know they will lose to the luckiest team on earth, the Pittsburgh Steelers. I see the bills winning up until the fourth quarter when the Rooneys call the refs up like on one of the Buffalo Wild Wings commercials and all of the sudden something falls in their favor. STEELERS 20 BILLS 17

 

Carolina at Cleveland 1 PM Sunday

With all of the injuries that these teams have faced at QB, I think there are nine different mathematical scenarios for who the two starting QBS will be this week, including the enticing Brian St. Pierre / Jake Delhomme matchup. But whether it's Claussen, Pike, St. Pierre or Testeverde, the Panthers are in for a long day on the lakefront Sunday. The Browns defense will be stuffing the Panthers wounded running game and forcing Joe Quarterback into many a mistake. Then salt away the game with Hillis. Enjoy this one Browns fans ... and especially you, Roach ... yes, The Great Zomboni is predicting a shutout. BROWNS 20 PANTHERS 0

 

Tampa Bay at Baltimore 4:15 PM Sunday

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on Tampa Bay. I refuse to believe they are playoff material. But they certainly seem to believe it, in fact they have played damn good the past couple of weeks. But going into Baltimore is a tough assignment for the young Bucs I think 60 minutes of the Ravens is a bit more than they can handle at this point ... that veteran D will get to them. But I'll give them a close call: RAVENS 19 BUCCANEERS 14

Your psychic powers are so impressive Zombodamas, I'm sure everyone is in awe of your awesomeness. You might actually get more than one of your predictions to come true this week, though I doubt the final scores will match up. I'm betting you had a full 1/5 of Jack Daniels in you before you allowed yourself to predict a Steelers win.

LOL The Laughs continue... Luckest Team on Earth. Never an ounce of Credit for Solid ownership and Management over all for the the last 40ish yrs...

And NO WAY do the BROWNS "Shut out" Carolina.... WIN ?? I would Hope , but Shut out ? Teams score by Luck all the Time... and If Jake is your QB a pick 6 is a LARGE Possibility !

Agree with you on this one though I see the RatBirds winning by at least 2 scores 10 to 14 pts.

You should however Go 3-0 this week !

To top it off, BO has been running his mouth about how he's gonna light Revis up. And more bad news for ya Z- Plamer still has an ankle owie and will be a gametime decision- you might be seeing his littel brother at qb.

 

Could get ugly early. If Carson don't play make the REAL ugly.

I guess we aren't going to see any Carolina Panther fans this week, and that's all good, because I wouldn't make fun of a a 1-9 team (unless they were in our division, of course) and I really don't have anything bad to say about the Charlotte area, it's a nice place to live.

 

I will save my venom for Dolphin fans, they are a real dumb bunch.

 

But now that Gipper has informed us that we have NEVER beaten Carolina ... well now it's a "must win" game. It'll be good to get another home win, it'll be good to see Jake beat his old team, I hope we put it all together this week, no NFL team outside of Cincy or Dallas is ever going to lay down for you.

 

I made a good move yesterday for my "Real McCoy's" fantasy team, since Colt is hurt I was stuck with Palmer at QB ... I cut him before the game and picked up Jake.

 

I got a feeling Jake is going to have a real nice game ... remember how good he looked in the preseason before he got hurt against the Bucs? Jake and the Browns win big.

By all rights, the Steelers should beat Buffalo by 20 points. Then again, the Ravens should've too. This being the NFL in 2010, I think the Bills have a shot at a major upset this weekend. Bills 24, Squealers 17. The Ravens will beat Tampa Bay, but it won't be decided until the fourth quarter, and count me in the group that thinks the Browns will shutout the Panthers, 23-0. Peyton Hillis may run for 200 yards against that front seven. The Carolina secondary is one of their few bright spots, and could have an impact on Delhomme. But I don't see it happening.

4-0 again for the Great Zomboni, so I don't suppose we will see the Steeler fans again this week.

 

In fact I called the "unlucky" Bills losing by exactly three, and damn near nailed the Bungle and Ravens scores.

 

The only prediction that was shaky for me was the Browns ... I didn't envision Jake Delhomme and the Browns D conspiring to let Carolina back into the game in the second half. But I will gladly take the "W".

Also cute -- seeing Ben get his head twisted around by a couple of Bills lineman and no call. If Rooney's bought the refs he better ask for his money back.

 

This on the heels of the whole ref-screwing of the Steelers a week ago vs. Oakland.

 

While it is cute seeing Ben getting his head twisted around, and even cuter when he gets punched in the face and drops like a bag of sand ... when are you going to realize that everyone hates Ben? The refs, the players ... EVERYONE outside of Southwest PA. He's never going to get a call again ... not by anybody with a daughter, a sister or a mother.

As opposed to you never owning up for the oh, 569 times you picked against the Steelers and they won? Of course, when that happens you claim it's all part of the shtick and not to be taken seriously -- but get one right, and you DEMAND we all recognize your genius. Nice little game there.

 

As for the whole "Rooney dialing up the refs thing" better guess again. The only reason Buffalo stayed in it was because of an absolute JOKE of a roughing call on Harrison. Also cute -- seeing Ben get his head twisted around by a couple of Bills lineman and no call. If Rooney's bought the refs he better ask for his money back.

 

This on the heels of the whole ref-screwing of the Steelers a week ago vs. Oakland. Sorry dude, you'll have to come up with a new way to deny the Steelers their props.

 

I have faith ya can, buddy.

 

 

It always upsets you when Zombo makes these picks.....and when he crows about it when he occasionally gets them right.

Since you are such a masochist why don't you just take a corn cob and shove it up your ass. The sensation is the same essentially as when you read one of Zombo's posts.

I'll take your word as the obvious voice of experience as to how the corn cob feels.

 

And no (same word to the "puppet dance" dweeb above) his "picks" never "upset" me as I expect him to knee-jerk go against the Steelers every week.

'Cuz you know, that's all part of the shtick -- when he's wrong that is. When the blind squirrel IS right on once every decade or so, then it's not a joke, he's serious about this, don't you know? Heh heh.

 

Nah, the only guy upset is Zombo as he's whining about how ball-less Steeler fans are not to come over and pat him on the back since he hit one. Boo hoo.

 

Just wanted to clear that up.

 

Dance, Puppet, Dance!
