jiggins7919 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 This might sound stupid, but I'm genuinely just...sad. I know it's just football, but to go from such a high, to such a low...yeesh. I think I speak for a lot of Browns fans when I say we protect ourselves from thinking about positive outcomes and we joke about what awful way we'll lose next, just kidding around. Well, for the first time in maybe forever I indulged in thinking we could host a home playoff game. Heck, maybe Superbowl. Football is a cruel, tough business, huh folks. 😔 It's OK...we'll still have some fun. 💪 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should start him some time this season, just not against PIttsburgh. Something tells me if he has the same outing against the Stoolers as he had against the Ravens, he'll be out on the street and we will raid someone else's practice squad for a replacement. Seems like the Berry thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t afford to baby him when the alternative is Walker throwing 5 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think of him with this offense and defense compared to Ryan or Foles? But would the Titans release him is the question? Definitely a better option than Ryan or Foles. 35 minutes ago, bbedward said: We better have another qb on the roster before Sunday, though obviously it’s too short notice to start against Pittsburgh.

As they say- you're a day late, and a dollar short. EDIT hot from NFL.com... Should since they're starting DTR against the Steelers, they had better make sure they have Watt doubly accounted for on every play. If the season is going to go in the crapper, let's see what the rookie has.... We know what we have in Walker. PS... Checking shoulder anatomy, the glenoid bone is what your shoulder socket sits in... "Displaced" means it's not just fractured, but the parts of the bone aren't together anymore. I'm not going to Buy Berry's rose colored glasses assessment either. Shit, you can get surgical scarring, adhesions, or early onset arthritis. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Our owner and front office get everything they deserve, while the players, coaches and fans don't deserve any of it. DTR has to go full Stroud, or at least close to it for the team to have any chance.... can he? Yes. Will he? I know beside all of us fans, there will be an entire front office that will be praying that Stef can work a miracle, but if he cant', he'll be the scapegoat for the stupidest men in any room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have absolutely nothing to lose with each and every game from the coin toss until the final seconds on the clock. Let's go for it ! ~ AND ~ GO BROWNS ! 🏈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big deal is one backup is a 5th round rookie who had one of the worst qb performances ever seen in a browns uniform, and we’ve seen some bad performances over the years the other backup is a practice squad guy who decides his read pre snap and throws it regardless if he’s open or not after the snap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's a lot better than what we've been putting out there in his absence. It represents another lost season...and one that showed some promise. We're back to playing with one arm tied behind our back. I think the analytics playbook stays in the locker room, where it's been, for the rest of the season. I think Dustin Hopkins is going to get many FG attempts as Stef will be setting up for and taking any points he can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I think we will be OK. We can win 4-5 games down the stretch. When in the playoffs, D usually rules the day. We have the D to go all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes ..... if you can play solid "D" and no mistakes, run the ball "O", reliable kicking game just get in the playoffs and see how far you can run. Again NO mistakes, make clutch FGs ..... and run the clock. Could be fun (or gut wrenchingĺ) Edited November 15, 2023 by mjp28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still pissed about Jerry Seaman's "whistle blew" BS, it cost us the playoffs win vs the Oilers. Clay Matthews picked up Moon's backward pass & ran it in for a TD, nullified.

Neither his legacy nor his bank account needs any help, it’d only be if he wants to try to relive the experience one more time - but he probably doesn’t wanna leave his Florida mansion to get beat up in Cleveland through the winter.

bbedward Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 The raiders are in the hunt for a wild card spot, not waiving garrapolo so he could get picked by another afc contender. Same kinda deal with tannehill and the titans I just get the sad feeling berry will grab a practice squad nobody, and we’ll be banking on DTR and walker the rest of the way.
