Yes Sir, you are. Hate away.

Man just like last year our defense tightens up as the year goes on. I give this win almost entirely to the defense. I also think I'm gonna hate my life once Brady is done playing. Ryan mallet 1 pass-1 INT lost me a first round bye in my fantasy league...

And I never thought it was even possible if ever say this, but I bet kronk had a better time watching the rockets instead of the texans.

AAAAAANNNNNDDD... Done, alright, I feel better... Until next year *glares* To be fair, I was 6 when the Browns left and my family wasn't a big Browns family, we were Indians through and through, so I don't harbor as much ill will as older fans do, and at the end of the day. I dislike the Steelers simply because of their fans... Namely Cleveland residents that cheer for the Steelers for no good reason, and people that have never lived in Pittsburgh a day in their life and are Steelers fans, mostly residents of West Virginia that don't have a team, so they latch on to the nearest successful team.

A kid I went to college with is like that. His family lives in a suburb of Cleveland, and his family is from WV and are giant Steeler fans... He's so god danged unbearable during this time of year. Screaming 'BLACK AND YELLOW" at our fraternity meetings (small school, not many out of staters, huge Browns population in our chapter), and yet he couldn't take it when the Browns beat them this year, telling us to all shut the hell up. As fans of the AFC go, I'll take a Ravens fan any day over a Steelers fan (no offense to any current Steelers fans in this thread that I've never met personally).


And Kronk, my condolences...

It's ok. It's fine. I just need to go to the liquor store and grab some beer...

Haha nice pic kronk, good luck this week against Indy.(although I will be rooting against your texans, and for the ravens).

Anyone gonna be watching the cinciVsphilly game? After the cinci vs Dallas unwatchable mess of a game, I don't think I'll be watching tonight lol.

Edit just checked, lets see if I can out point everyone by 25pts in the next 3 weeks. Doubtful but anything can happen.

this game has been horrible, Dalton needs to learn to be a bit less conservative and speed up his release,

This game is like the mental weakness Olympics.

This 49ers - New England game is off the charts crazy! 31-3 to 31-31, now 38-31...

That one hurt. That run back and score back to back in the 4th was the game breaker.

Was pulling for the Pats to beat San Fran for the sake of making things easier for Seattle to take first in the division.

Seahawks fan if you can't tell.

Wilson and Lynch are the shiznit.

Well, two weeks left.. the Eagles season is a train wreck and yet.......

They can still feth Dallas' chances to make the playoffs.
Dallas plays the Saints and Skins next and last
Philly plays the Skins and NYG.
NYG play Ravens before Philly.

If Philly loses both remaining games, Wash wins the Division with the best Divisional record and NYG takes second with the better conference record.... Assuming Dallas and NYG win their other games.

Stupid Browns :-\

Getting beat by the backup quarterback, who played one hell of a game, quite the smart choice picking up Cousins like they did. Definitely paid off. At least they know they're not screwed if RGIII continues his wild playstyle. i.e. not protecting himself when he runs like that.

well hopefully for the Redskins Mike Shanahan doesn't follow the Harbaugh logic move of benching RG3 now, they're the only team in the east I have a soft spot for,

And the Bears continue their depressing slide to 8-8

I don't think he will, though Shanahan is probably sitting in his office thinking, "Feth yeah that QB was a good pick up." Like I said, the Redskins know they have a good Quarterback that can perform when RG3 is out of commission.

I have to say that I think RG3 is a phenomenal QB but I also think that Russel Wilson (or Dangeruss as he is starting to be called in these parts) is right up there on par with him. Especially since RG3 didn't play this week and Wilson had a superb gameday with near 100 yds rushing including 3 TDs he ran in himself and one pass TD I mean the kid is on fire. Just hope it holds up against the 49ers next Sunday which I am sure it will being a fan and all.

The will not finish 8-8. They will finish 10-6

That Bears Packers game had some terrible officiating, It was like the replacement ref's were back.

The ref's called a non existent roughing on J. Peppers, and did not call a P.I on Jeffery's defender that cost the bears that game.

10-6 isn't bad though with the injuries the Bears have had. Detroit is not good and neither is Arizona, so those games should both be wins for the Bears.

2 weeks left for Piston and byte. Good luck guys, at 55 pts down I'm conceding for the year, this week totaled any chance I had haha. Good year guys I'm laying low posting till playoffs, since I'm finishing the school semester I'm in.

Yeah, hopefully Jennings will be back for the Arizona game, wouldn't mind another defensive performance like that the one in 2006
Still Jeffrey and Hester dropped the last 2 games (Jeffrey several offensive PI calls on him and Hester drops passes like it's going out of fashion


Now to watch the hilarity that is the Jets on iPlayer

EDIT: To paraphrase what Joe Flacco said "I feel like we are 0-14", the past few weeks have just been painful to watch, especially considering how well we were doing earlier this year

Thanks! To close to call, thats for sure.

The Texans can possibly wrap up Home Field Advantage this weekend with a win over Minnesota. But Adrian Peterson is running so well...

Good luck to all your teams. My Ravens have been killing me.

Come on Brownies... Beat the Broncos

Bears should beat the flailing Cardinals, but you never know,

sorry alf about the slaughter that will happen to the poor browns

If Weeden can remember wtf his job is and how to do it like the professional he's supposed to be, and if the runningback coach beat a "Football for Dummies" book over Richardson's head this week, we might at least give Denver a game...

I doubt it though... Oh well, looks like we ruined another quarterback.

Nick Saben could be a huge improvement for the Browns if the rumours come true, and Richardson could be one of the last great power backs in the league if he doesn't mess it up or just dwindle away

He dances, he spends too much time going horizontal instead of pushing his way through the hole. I've seen almost every game this season, and he's good for a few plays, but spends too much time behind the line of scrimmage. I mean hell, even Madden 13 got it accurate (when controlled by a computer). My career mode has had Trent getting spectacular plays... when he hits the hole, but he's tackled himself more than a handful of times...

Hrm... Saban might be in our future... Idk though :-/ I'd just like someone that knows how to head coach, and can actually get this team whipped into shape... I'd be happy with whoever we got if we could got 8-8 next season (improving upon this season, etc...

Dude, that's not gonna happen.

Peyton Manning is on fire, and the Denver defense is playing well too.

Anyone else think Atlanta will lose to the Lions on Saturday?

I'm well aware its not happening... this is why I had the

You really think Saban is gonna leave his multi million dollar contract with full control of every aspect of the organization and multiple national titles(with a chance to be the best ever). To go to the browns? I know he has history with that organization, but his nfl history is bad, college is clearly where he is best suited to coaching.

Edit:I'm not saying it isn't possible but all signs poit to no for me.

Nah, Stafford isn't playing well enough and their D has been meh so far this year,

I really don't get how much hate the Falcons are getting, being top seed in the NFC at 12-2 w/ a great (This season anyway) QB, high performance secondary w/ an adequate front 7 and a couple of RBs who may not perform too well but get the job done at the end of the day

And the fact the couple of weeks the Panthers have found their 'Beast' mode
