Fall back to Earth? Browns fans here at least know what our team is. At best I had this team going 7-9 and thats if everything went right.
Doesn't mean we won't trash talk. Really what else are we supposed to do? Sit here and accept the loss as if we were Gata and the Jags?
looks like minus might be the place to go, thanks.

Can anyone point me to some good football podcasts? Fantasy or otherwise. Thanks!

Bingo. That's including PS4 games, too. It's almost like having a PS4 in every room if used in such a way.
EDIT: Should not it acts like a Vita itself so yeah. It's a Vita without a Vita.
Lot of fans complaining about it, I'm not. They forget how often our past coaches milked the clock with a small lead, end results were the same as yesterdays. Problem was the playcalling and execution. Shitty runs off of LG, who is balls. We can't run to the left at all now, to the right or bust.
Steve makes a catch and we may have a different result. Glenn keeps his hands down and Woods get a big gain. Better play calling, and execution.
Speaking of Glenn, he was pretty damn good. RT only? LOL

It is a vita for people that dont like handhelds. I am surprised it is cheaper then a vita, cant see why anyone would pay $100 more for a handheld when they could play the same games on their TV with a controller. This seems like Sony might be waving the white flag on vita, which is sad. It is such a great handheld.

Heh. This was like the only real Touchdown of the weekend.
It hurts watching this cause it was three times in the Lions game they had TDs called back that looked like this. They was short(and in Johnson's case incomplete)

Everyone is hitting power on their remotes the second RGIII steps off the field bro.
Yahoofantasyapp will tell us everything we need to know about the Texans game

That is my biggest fear. If this takes off they will stop doing interesting things with touch since this doesnt support it. I wish they had come up with a new controller for this with a touchpad on it.

If you have a Vita, they will work of course as you can use a Vita as the controller.
Considering they've also done the Vita2000 I wouldn't agree entirely that Sony is throwing in the towel on the thing, but I think it's obvious they need to expand the market on it alongside the recent price drop.
The shitty part? The dropping of the OLED screen.
For once it feels good to be an early adopter.Such a comedy of errors. That one sequence was the most Lions sequence of all time.
Detroit intercepts Ponder and returns for a TD
TD called back because Dirty Suh idiotically cuts down on Sullivan who had NO CHANCE OF CATCHING THE RETURNER
Stafford's next pass is tipped and intercepted by Minnesota

Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley are clearly paying homage to Football's origins. Respect.Finley fucks up so much, you gotta give him his too!
Stepped or carted off?

I still can't believe Hurney passed on Cordy Glenn to draft DII player Amini Silatolu for our O-Line. Hurney drafted perennial pro bowlers with his first round picks (hell, even Otah was a pro bowler, just ended up being too fat and lazy), but once he gets past the first, he couldn't draft for shit.
What do you think about next week's Panthers/Bills matchup? IMO it's a must win for the Panthers. I'm cautiously optimistic (maybe blindly hoping against hope) that Shula called a conservative game against the Seahawks because of their stout, ball hawking D and will be more prone to opening things up against a Bills secondary that should be hurting without Gilmore and Byrd (is Byrd gonna play?). Defensively I think we can have some success against Manuel, but offensively we will need to score at least 2 TDs (can't believe I'm saying it's hard for us to score 2 TDs, smh) to have a chance.

don't forget the Delmas headbutt that gives Minnesota 15 yards only for Ponder to throw a pick later. All capped of by a Joique Bell fumble at the goal line that was overturned into a TD. That first half needed Benny Hill music

Ponder has to be either the worst or minimum top 3 worst QBs in the league. I watched every minute of that game and I had no fear whatsoever when he went back to pass. He can't throw down-field, he can barely throw as is. How do start a guy like this? Should've just drafted a random QB in last year's draft and started him. E.J. Manuel, Geno, anyone.

Unrelated to football (You're shocked, I understand), but watching Australian Master Chef and this girl
I would totally start a diner together with her.

Damn I hadnt realized they announced a new vita model. Man I would buy the fuck out of a green vita, but fuck it having an lcd screen. The vita's screen is amazing, I cant believe they are changing it.

Munchak did the smart thing. Instead of throwing it with Locker which was going nowhere fast he decided to run right into the teeth of the D and it worked like gangbusters, particularly in short yardage.
Everybody knows about the turd on offense and the injuries (which i'll list here in full):
Maurkice Pouncey - Torn ACL - out for the season
Larry Foote - ruptured Bicep - out for the season
Larod Stephens-Howling - Torn ACL - out for the season
But after sleeping on it those short yardage plays really bugged me. Steelers went 8-8 last year in part because of plays like that - Steelers getting the offense into a big hole then going to sleep on 3rd down.
I alluded to this yesterday, but I think Foote's injury is a blessing in disguise. On nearly every run play the Titans ran toward his gap and manhandled him to get yardage. Funny thing was Foote was in the backfield all day but the Titans casually pushed him out of the way. It's pretty telling that Foote went out with a bicep tear as that's usually an age injury.
I didn't hate Foote like a lot of Steelers Nation does but like Farrior he's finished. Only part of him worth being on the field is his brain and that can't make tackles. We need an ILB who's going to be stout against the run, or failing that won't get steamrolled when a hat gets to him.
Kion Wilson is ahead of Vince Williams on the depth chart so it seems he's the guy. Steelers have a lot of work to do to get him up to speed before next Monday because Foote called the defensive signals and Timmons is a rockhead.
forgot crutches and or walking boot.

Going to be an ugly ass game.
Vereen and Danny hurt a bit. Going to be hard to beat them.

I don't blame him. That ball took the most ridiculous bounce straight into the defenders hands. It was like a video game with cheat codes on.
Straight up.. You always gonna have that fear bruh. Rg3 needs to model his game after kaepernick.
It'll be a good game. Unless the Texans really are frauds, then who knows.

I really dont get why anyone would bet against the Seahawks. Their D is so good it is going to keep every game close and even if you dont like Russell he has shown an ability to make plays to win tight games.

Thoughts on the Rams game, squicken?
Texans are gonna slay the PEDHawks. Get smashed the following week by 9ers.
grow a beard?
Just an observation: Just read King's MMQB column. Talked about Amendola wincing in severe pain from his groin then coming back out and playing. I would be concerned they injected something to numb the pain and get him back. This practice is considered very dangerous and can pretty much only make the injury worse.
I didn't like how they kept trying to jam CJ up the middle...he looked like he did his rookie year. Just horrible anticipation of the gaps (assuming there were any). Just use his goddamn speed and run him to the right like you suggested.

He plays fine.
His injury was due to unbelievable negligence by the coaching and training staff.
That entire game was a circus. Both teams played like shit except for two things. Lions stuffed AP aside from the first run, and Ponder had a couple a good deep passes. So either both teams are really good, or really bad. I'm not sure which it is at this point because the Lions and Vikings always have entertaining games. We'll see what week 2 brings us.
