This is why you deserve Schaub.

Yes it's my fault your team has lost whatever many games in a row despite the fact you didn't decide to blame me until week 10.

Looking forward to Schaub signing on for one more year and getting "one more chance" to prove himself and "compete" with Keenum for starter as Kubiak watches on with his nice extension.
I blame you for David freaking Carr.
I blame you for Dom Capers
I blame you for that 2010 historically bad defense
I blame you for Rosencopter

Damn Canadians!

Quit denying your destiny! You are getting Schaub as your wiley vet back up and signing Ben Tate who will last 2 games into the season then pull a hammy

Yeah Mariota not coming out now really helps the Eagles potentially. Free from the pressures of taking him or any other top QB with Foles playing well, they can continue to work the D which still is the biggest area of need.

My biggest needs going into the off season (and this is very pre mature obviously) are all on the D but we might also need to upgrade the Guard position. Todd Herremans has been suspect.

But Eric Decker? Why? I rather they re sign Maclin on the cheap, which is the only silver lining to his injury, and draft a physical tall WR to replace Avant.



Lets see how the rest of the season pans out. Foles has far exceeded any expectations I had for him but there are still 4 games left. A playoff push and some big pressure packed moments. So far most teams he has faced have had horrible Ds and the one true big match up we would have had against the Packers offense turned out to be a dud since Rodgers was out.

Arizona's D forced him into some terrible decisions even if he didn't throw picks. Still a good performance. 3 TDs and a win. But there is something about their 2nd half performances that they as a team need to work on. If Foles plays just as well to finish off the season then yes no drafting a QB until maybe the super late rounds.

Eric Decker is a physical, tall WR. He's 6'3" 215 compared to Avant at 6'0" 212. He's also much, much faster. If we can get Maclin cheap as well, then I'd be fine with that. I don't want to have to count on him as our #2 though, because who knows what he will look like coming off a torn ACL.

What happened in the second half there? Wilson.

We're also second in points scored per game and I think either first or second in explosive plays per game, up there with the Eagles. All this despite having a banged up offensive line for half the season. Similarly, Wilson is high in passer rating as well as yards per attempt. He's not just dinking and dunking, he puts up chunk yards and tied Peyton Manning's rookie pass TD record.
The amazing thing about that was the fact that Seattle scored 21 points in the 4th quarter without using a time out and took a one point lead

come in my shame circle
Two of my favorite people in mech and Kave are fighting?

Where's the popcorn?

Oh Nori Chan so tsundere.

Whenever you try to upset me I think back to your soul being destroyed last year when the Browns beat the Chargers.

THE WIN IS FOREVER!!!

BG is there anyone who covers the Browns that isn't an idiot in Cleveland?

http://www.ohio.com/sports/browns/marla-ridenour-browns-quarterback-mess-all-front-office-s-fault-1.449723

Yup the front office should have forseen all these injuries would keep happening to all the QBs and signed 8 QBs just to be safe.

Because of course who we sign as the third string QB was going to really change our fortunes going forward.

Nope. Them and their fans are delusional as fuck and grasp at any straw possible to try and get out of the factory of sadness.

Cleveland media just seems to want to hate Lombardi, even though he's done a solid job there. That Richardson trade alone should have him in the running for Exec of the Year, or at least to get Grigson's trophy from last year

I hate that word. Not because Cleveland isn't a factory of sadness (it is) but it's just so lazy. It's time to come up with other slurs about the city of Cleveland.

Florio uses it every week when he talks about the Browns, it's time to move on dude. Bring in some new insults or bring back "the mistake by the lake" that one was always classier.

Mech... that gif is apparently blocked at my workplace, curious, I tried to open the link in a new tab, and it said :porn. If I get fired because of you, well... I'll have something to say!

=(

Seattle at San Fran is the late Fox game here. All that matters!

Then I can watch the Saints lose AGAIN.

RedZone at 1pm, Seahawks at 4pm, then that great SNF game. Indeed, it will be a great day of Football.

Actually, it might be better if the Saints won this sunday so they could then lose when they face the Panthers again while away. Whatever, though, not that big of a deal, as one could also argue whether it would be better for the Panthers to win both games so the Saints get a higher priority to face us in the playoffs.

Looks like he got it right off the racks of Mens Warehouse.

Also the goober has 100 million dollars and can't afford a razor? What a slob...

He's rich so he's eccentric, because society has it ingrained that poor are the devil. They are the bums for not shaving.

Well I assumed it wasn't actually porn :p, it was just flagged as porn apparently. Ah well! The Dungy gif is a nice replacement.

I'll be much more worried if the Panthers put a similar beat down on the Saints.

expected comment from dirty, jealous Steelers fan
I might be jealous of the Ravens defense but I will never be jealous of their qb until the day when Deacon becomes GM and trades Ben to Houston for Schaub and a 3rd round pick.

Flacco is the definition of goober. And in my opinion he is a one trick pony. Take away his deep ball and he can't do shit. All the coaches that did not do that in last years playoffs should have been fired for their stupidity. Flacco is basically an unathletic version of Kaep.
 
Some info on Will Beatty and his struggles after getting a 5 year, 38 million dollar contract from the Giants to anchor the left side of the line. This is a guy that has played well in the past. Specifically in 2012, in fact but who has been a complete nightmare this season.

http://nypost.com/2013/12/04/beattys-woes-from-trying-to-earn-big-new-contract/

How bad was left tackle Will Beatty last week? He was abused by Brian Orakpo on the very first play and allowed three sacks against the Redskins. Beatty has allowed 10 sacks this season — the most allowed by any left tackle in the league, according to Pro Football Focus, and more sacks given up in Beatty’s previous four seasons combined.

Ugh.

Beatty says his struggles are due to trying to do too much and change his game. He says he's tried to adjust his technique to mimic other premiere tackles in the league and it hasn't worked out. He wants to "earn" the contract in question but needs to get back to being the player he was. I hope it happens because we have enough holes to fill without adding LT to the list.

You'll change your tune when I get two firsts for him.
How many qbs have the Browns drafted since they came back to life? And how many of them were good?

You have the same odds of drafting another good qb as Gata has of moving out of the basement and finding a woman who is sexually attracted to him. And those odds are much better than you finding another franchise qb in the draft.

There are just not many of them. Easier to replace the rest of the team than get another Ben.

Did a bit of reading on the Winston stuff. Sounds like he prob won't be charged. Apparently Facebook is resisting a subpoena on the girl's account where she and her friends were competing to see who could sleep with the most football players and that the girl was part of the "FSU Cleatchasers," which apparently had its own twitter account and hashtag before all this stuff went down.

This Wilson/Cam Newton for MVP push is super weird to me. Manning is playing the best football in the league. I have to think it's a ploy by the media to drum up intrigue for a race that is all but finished. Manning will have to play catastrophically bad, or the other MVP hopefuls will have to play transcendentally well, for Manning to not win. The only dark specter on Manning's resume this season is the New England defeat.

It's just boredom of the same guy. Jordan should have won the MVP like 9 times

It always is, last year it was clearly going to AP unless he collapsed at the end, then it would have gone to Manning. This year, unless Manning has a collapse it's going to him, they just do it to grab headlines.

That still doesn't mean she wasn't raped. I'll be very interested in seeing what happens this afternoon.

Funny that a rookie RT is the best player on the Giants line right now. Reese and Ross have to get some new bodies on the line, and hope Beatty returns to form next year.
