Orion Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Huh Boy! Worst matchup of the year for us. They're a top 10 rushing team. - nuf said - Right? It doesn't even matter that they're the #2 passing team. If I were the Bills I would run up the score on us by running it between the tackles until the goal line gets in the way. And continue doing that to keep the clock moving and shorten up the game so they can get back inside where it's warm. (current theory is they might get 6 feet of snow in the days before the game) The reality is, our season ended last Sunday. We now face Josh Allen and Tom Brady before Watson takes the helm. At which point, as Flugal pointed out weeks ago, our '23 preseason starts. I guess you could say these two games are our prelude to the 2023 preseason. The pressure is off for us fans now. We don't have to sit on the couch contorting ourselves over every play any more. We can just sit back, relax, enjoy your favorite beverage or strain, and watch. Or...you can put up Christmas lights a little early. Rake leaves. Prune trees. Paint a bedroom. Go visit your mother-in-law.......etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political Forum: Sure! Go there if you want to learn who to hate. There are issues that workers are not allowed to discuss in the workplace. Politics, gun control, religion, abortion, are topics that people on either side feel strongly about. No matter what you say you cannot change the other side's mind....it only makes for disharmony in the workplace. (ie people hating one another) And in reality you can substitute 'workplace' with almost anything.....the dinner table....Thanksgiving dinner table....the golf course....the local watering hole (bar).....etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghoolie Always Ghoolie Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I have no feel for this team at all. Who the fuck knows which version of these assholes will show up? The Titans play tomorrow meaning there is a shot the Browns will be on local TV. I however will be flying to Lauderdale to board the Cruiseship Celebrity Beyond. Off I go, again with Sirius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 We honestly need to keep it together as a team, and as fans, until next year.

I wouldn't advise people to get too excited about watson, regardless of his off the field scandals. Physically very talented - but who knows. Mentally - really stupid. The watson stink will never go away. It keeps being brought up during games...... over all these years, having high hopes for the Browns, is like putting a box on the basement stairs so you can trip over it. something like that..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceed with utmost caution there. There's no room for moderates🙆 Also, slightly off topic but @Orion why are you worried about an underachieving Tampa Bay? Browns are schizoid for sure, & should take care of the Bucs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted November 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I wonder what the finances are like when an nfl game is moved to a neutral stadium? Like, how much does the stadium owner charge? Who pays all of the stadium workers and security? How much does the home team lose for a game's worth of concessions and merch? So, since the weather was going to be fine on Sunday for the game....they would've moved the game whether the Bills had a domed stadium or not....we are to assume.

The snow warning extended to 1pm Sunday, when the game was to start. (Last I saw, this morning) So, even if it had actually stopped snowing at the opening kickoff, they would still have had a helluva time getting anyone in to clear the field and stands of a ton of snow in the days leading up to the game. Now, a domed stadium would have eliminated the need to do that, but if everything was shut down leading up to the game, I think it might have still been moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 With the game in Detroit, the passing is the part of the game that is enhanced the most. Buffalo, the #2 passing team in the league, would be the team benefiting the most by the venue change. Of course, as we know, all they need to do is run up the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 So, What happened? The 7th ranked run defense decided that they were going to stop our 5th ranked run offense and make us beat them with our career backup starting QB. And once again, the career backup played a solid game...over 300 yards, 3 TD's and 0 Int's. The 10th ranked run offense ran it 33 times at our dismal run defense to the tune of 171 yards. I think our DB's made passing something that wasn't as easy as Buffalo would've liked. Although I don't know how Diggs is running around all alone in our end zone. All and all it wound up about as expected with the exception of Brissett playing a little better game than anticipated. .....finally, our special teams lost to the Bills' special teams. One thing we've hopefully learned....tee the ball upright and kick the top of the ball for an onside kick. Don't do the 'laying the ball sideways' thing anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
