We haven't lost in Oakland since 2002. I'm hoping that doesn't change this weekend!

Meh, yeah it is. Brady won't play like Brees. Our open field tackling is as pleasant to watch as... fill in the blank. We're ******. I'm okay with it.

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 01:24 PM

I will fill in the blank. The Browns' open field tackling is like watching old people fahk...

BuckeyeDan17 · 11-03-2010, 01:32 PM

Spot on. Spot on.

If any other Browns fans think Brady is going to have a fluke game like Brees did and we catch the luckiest breaks ever and pull off an upset that would happen 1 out of 100 times then just GTFO.

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 01:34 PM

The Pats can be beaten, but I'm not sure if the Browns will be able to put up enough points to dictate their defense against the Pats O. The Pats also appear to be very strong on special teams, so it's difficult to find an edge there. Given the line, I'm staying away.

Yup. Cincy went from a team that wins ugly to a team that loses pretty.

If there was ever a week for the Bills to get their first win, and someone like Aaron Maybin to get his first sack, it's this week.

I'm literally terrified of this game. The horror of losing to the Bills.....the horror!

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 02:12 PM

I really like the Bills this week, actually. I have a feeling that they get a straight up win.

It's going to be a game of "who can possibly fail less?" And the Bills just may beat the Bears in one of those...

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 02:25 PM

The Bills have played 2 really good games against teams that I think are better than the Bears. They aren't rolling over, and they're not THAT bad. The Bears will get a game, esp on the road.

vikes_28 · 11-03-2010, 02:25 PM

I hope we lose and Wilf fires Childress after the game.

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 02:27 PM

It'll be nice to have Childress back on the Eagles staff next year... haha

vikes_28 · 11-03-2010, 02:32 PM

Childress deserves to coach for the bills.

MidwayMonster31 · 11-03-2010, 02:43 PM

I know I said this in the Washington game, but the Bears better remember that they're allowed to run the ball. But I have faith that the defense can win this one for us.

Hopefully since I just traded for the Bears defense.

They can't prevent points that the offense allows..... I'd almost rather have Cutler getting sacked since when has time, he throws ******* picks. Dammit all....

That crazy man is funny.

He's trying to rally his locker room. He gave the Falcons bulletin board material. End of the day, it will mean little. Game will be decided on the field.

Giantsfan1080 · 11-03-2010, 03:49 PM

Ahh back from the bye week and flying to Seattle. I know the Seahawks have a lot of injuries but they always play us tough when they're at home. I'm expecting a close game but we pull the win out sometime in the 3rd quarter after our D-Line starts banging them up. We'll see if Hasselbeck plays with his concussion. I'd feel bad for Whitehurst to get his first start of the year against us.

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 03:51 PM

Flying out to Seattle is def not an easy task, especially with the sucess they had had earlier in the season against the run. Seahawks are a pretty strong team at home. However, this is a game that the Giants should win. I don't think they'll destroy the Seahawks, but they should win.

That's how I'm looking at it. The Seahawks +7 at home may not be a bad bet though.

bsaza2358 · 11-03-2010, 03:59 PM

I think I'm going to stay away from that one in real life, but in my pick em league, I will likely take the points.
