Just 2 seasons ago we were a finesse line that could only pass protect. Now we lock down the rush AND have a crew of mean, nasty road graders. LETS GO!

Agreed, looked real bad in real time, and I was relieved when Shakir popped right back up. But the defender was already down on his knees and just lunged forward to try to defend the goal line. Side note: Shakir takes some HUGE hits.

haha he is definitely feeling himself a bit too much these days. I had to turn it off during his Commanders coverage. But theyre back to talking about the Bills.

Listening to post game WGR callers is worse than watching ESPN

We can fix that

They talked all about the Bills while the Commanders game was still being played and then switched to post game Commanders/Cinci coverage after it ended. It will balance back out in about 15 minutes.

Credit where credit is due. McD had another coaching clinic tonight, maybe even more so than in Miami. The talent was on full display, but the players were disciplined, well-prepared, and laser focused. Kudos to McD, and Brady and Babich.

For as old as Promo is, I give him credit for being sneakily super hip. He's surprised me a few times over the years.

Dont stop, I'm almost there.

I mean, they made some decent draft picks. The problem is they let them ALL walk in order to... throw more money at 30 yr old Hill and 30 yr old Jalen Ramsey. No love for the trenches. Cant win in the NFL with that.

-Gugny's cat probably

I've seen enough Browns fans in Watson jerseys to not feel bad for them anymore.

Curious... 🤔

Agreed. This isnt the magic solution the Browns are hoping for.

haha, my bad, guess i need more coffee. My brain locked onto the Andreesen mention and thought this was a new thread about getting Andreesen. Embarrassing.

what is going on here?

Welp, we're now about 40% through the contract. Deshaun Watson has thrown for 300 yards 0 out of 15 times for the Browns. Joe Flacco threw for 300 yards in 5 out of 6 games. Listening to 92.3 in Cleveland to hear the mess... https://www.audacy.com/stations/923thefan

Here you go. Whipped this up and made it more familiar for most of us TBD members...

The NFL says it is random, but this is hardly the first instance of players talking about this. It's been talked about a lot that players will coincidentally get picked after big games. Maybe it is just coincidence, we definitely need more data to be sure. But it's not the first time.

Trying to google, but it might do with where the ball is recovered. As in, the fumbling team gets the ball where the 2nd player original recovers it, not back at the spot of the fumble. The recovering player can not run and advance it. But since they recovered it in the end zone its a TD. I'm mostly pulling that out of bad memory and my butt. But it sounds right to me, and if I believe it, it's true. edit: I was wrong, @zow2 was right https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/fumbling-in-the-end-zone/ In American football the offense cannot advance the ball if it recovers its own fumble on fourth down, or in the last two minutes of a half, unless the ball is recovered by the fumbler. Any player of either team may recover or catch a fumble and advance, either before or after the ball strikes the ground.

Awesome! Well deserved, but I was worried that playing on Thursday would get overshadowed by more recent Sunday performances. Cant deny 3 TDs, especially the way he pulled them off.

It's not just last year's game, which was a complete team/coaching debacle. The travel-timing excuse is bs. Other teams traveled to London on our schedule and still won, and didnt take 2 more weeks to adjust after getting back. But in 2021 we lost in Jacksonville 9-6 in a mess of a game. Barely squeaked out a home win in 2019. And of course, the 2017 playoff loss. Could go all the way back to the EJ London meltdown as well. Just something about our franchises, we rarely match up well against them. Of course a lot of that (pre-2017) obviously isnt on McD, but something about our rivalry with Jacksonville just seems stacked against us. The Giants used "NASCAR" as their call for their all-DE line scheme they put together to beat Brady and the undefeated Pats. NASCAR racing, all fast DEs off to the races... All the fame and publicity from that Super Bowl made the label popular. Folks just took it from there.

Going from the Dolphins to the Jags is a great case study in the extremes of McD's coaching. He always owns the Dolphins, we always drop bad games in the worst ways to the Jags. Let's see how he does against Pederson next.

Seems like that happens every year. They get so over-hyped in the offseason because all the talking heads want to be assigned to cover them in south florida. And then the season starts and they ***** the bed. Love to see it.

If I'm thinking of the same plays you are... The MVS throw could have been a stop/comeback ball, but I remember Josh patting himself on the chest after like "That's on me". I'll give him a couple off target throws. He's earned it. The Coleman one was where Josh scrambled and then ran all the way to the sideline before chucking it towards Coleman. Low percentage ball. Especially because it wasnt a jump ball as much as it was a wild throw that Coleman had to come back to and the defender played it well in hitting him from behind and knocking the whole thing down. Some stuff to work on, but if those are our worst plays, I'll take it every time.
