I picked the Cowboys getting the 2.5. My heart is with the Browns though.

Looking forward to the game. Possibly this turns into a turn down the sound game. Tom Brady being annoying or not will be determined in the first quarter.

 Cowboys start two rookies on the Oline vs a veteran Browns Dline. That's where this game will be won or lost. 

 The counter is to come out, let Dak sling the rock, get plus matchups on the safeties and formation constraints on Emerson, then hammer that weakness hoping to negate the pass rush.   It'll be a 'ball out now' type passing game for The Boys, unless they get some PAP shots down field. 

 On the ground against a defense that loves to scream upfield and shoot gaps?  Wham, trap, delays, nothing too slow developing though.  I could see Duece Vaughn's little self making effective use of a couple carries like that.   Warren for PIT isn't a bigger RB and he hurt us quite a bit in a similar mold.

Dak agrees to 4 year $240 million contract this morning 

[PackerNation]

What is the Browns record when playing in the FOX game of the week?

It rarely happens, but these are things I wonder.

Warren was a real pain in the ass for the Browns defense last year.

It seems like as long as I remember the Browns defense has always done well against physical, bigger RBs but struggle against fast, elusive ones.

Locally we can watch both the Bengals and Steelers at 1pm.

I'll be interested to see how the Steelers look with Wilson.

Not bad  NFL  WEEK 1. TV  really.   I've always liked the  BROWNS  at  4 or  4:25. -but-  generally they are the road team.

Going to have to wait on that - Fields is getting the nod.

It's unreal watching teams still not know how to handle TJ watt at a 7 tech.  He backdoors so much, why are you running stretch to his side and being beaten back inside? 

 

And you single him up in empty? Jesus H. 

 

Dude is incredible, but Atlanta is just handing it to him.

Yep.  I think on other side this a statement game for Myles with Parsons on the other sideline.

I tried to go tailgating, but she broke her ankle last week when she totaled our Outback. I told her she could sing "This boot is made for walking.", but that got me nowhere.
