2013: Season of Injuries

Yeah. Cleveland lost Hoyer to an ACL tear. And then there's Luke Joekel, Jarod Mayo, and Nick Foles. Yeeesh

Chance, I'm sure few people consider Brian Hoyer top tier player, but he did a lot better against teams than the idiot they've got taking the snaps now...

So will tonight finally be the night that the G-men erase their goose-egg?! I mean, they are getting the Vikings and playing at home. There's always grasping at straws isn't there!?!

Granted I know deep down their season is over, but it would be nice to at least finish above Jacksonville...

Your totally right affindrate actually I was going to post him but I wasn't sure what crap I'd have gotten from calling him good. I also forgot Nate burleson, Demarcus ware, and more.

And as I start to think about injured players it just get me bummed out.

Sam Bradford and Matt Shaub is just devastating.

w/o Sam... the Rams has no chances at all.

Mat Shaub... Texans was supposed to kick arse... not sure what happened to him.

Neither Shaub nor Foster are out for the season, though. Foster could be back next week, but more likely the next. Shaub could be back in less than a month.

As for what happened to the Texans, there are about 4 million fans asking that same question. WTF? Even before the injuries, this team had too much talent to fall to 2-4.

Don't worry kronk, my 3-4 Ravens are right there with you guys :-/

You know, Hoyer isn't a superstar, but if he doesn't get hurt he's Cleveland's starter for the rest of the year.

Now they're saddled with...... Brandon Weeden....Again....

Also, Alf, I want to remind you that Cleveland chose Weeden over Russell Wilson.....Twice.

FInally, I think we left Jay Cutler off the list.

Don't remind me of how terrible of a pick Weeden was, I get to hear it every morning on the local sports station. Weeden is garbage... We need to sucker someone into taking him off our hands like we did Trent Richardson.

Also, Josh Gordon is on the trading block, which means that someone saw the all 22 footage of Gordon being lazy on the field last week against the Lions...

Cutler is out 4 weeks minimum with a groin tear, only 3 games though since we're going into a bye. And with the loss of Briggs we're hurting bad. At least Brandon Marshall's X Ray came back negative and McCown looked more competant than Campbell did last year.

And tonight I think the Vikes will take in a pretty poor game. AP being the deciding factor

Also Brandon Merriwether's 2 game ban is a joke. Repeated dirty hits should earn more than just 2 games off the field

Sadly I have to agree.

Who did he try and dismember this time? Sadly the overall coverage of games & goings-on is pretty crappy up here unless you shell out $$$ for the NFL package...

Kinda looking forward to what Freeman is going to do.

Redbeard and Hlaine please stop picking winners K'thanks ;p

How about you try to pick more of them instead?

Nonsense! Stupid colts/broncos game ;(

Edit:still mad at myself over that game. Picked it 41-38 colts too. Then panicked after the pit and Washington games and changed it to donco's at 8. Bahhhhhhhh

Thanks for dropping that TD pass victor. You piece of crap.

Rams signed Brady Quinn. SUPER BOWL ALL THE WAY ...BABY!



And Austin Davis.

At least it wasn't Tebow like some rumours

Bears still need to sign a proper DT :(

Yes, I just quoted myself...

Yeah, but athletic 350 pound men aren't exactly common, even over here in the land of the big. There's a reason few teams have backup tackles.

Yah the patriots just signed Andre carter off the street because of the lack of Dline talent lol.

Well, to be fair, Carter is an end, not a tackle.

Jeff Garcia reached out to the Browns and offered his services behind center...

The Browns (because of Brandon Weeden) have become a fething joke this season. Weeden is the worst quarterback I've seen in recent memory... At least Tebow had God on his side...

Andre Carter is an over-the-hill, 34 year old pass rushing DE. His game is just a *little* bit different than that of a 1- or 3-technique DT, LOL. He had a good season for the Pats a couple years ago, but given that *nobody* has enough pass rushers, the fact that he's been on the street this long suggests that most scouting departments think he's cooked.

Anyway, it's hardly support for DL help being available, LOL. There aren't enough of those guys to go around in the first place.


Regarding Browns QBs, do you really want to win, say, 6 or 7 games with Hoyer? He isn't the future anyway, and that just means a middling draft pick next year.

1) We've had high draft picks pretty much since our return in 1999, has it done us any good? Nope!

2) feth yeah I want to see the Browns win, Hoyer didn't have to be the future, but he could have been the mentor, and he most definitely could have been the present. Say we go out and win 7 games under Hoyer, that makes us 7-9 on the season our best record since 2007 (6 years). We have 2 first round picks, one mid-round and one late round (assuming the Colts keep up their game and go 11-5, 10-6, w/e they need to be to get into the playoffs). Those two picks we can easily bundle to get a high first round pick to grab the future QB of the franchise, who spends a year, maybe two years learning under Hoyer, and then takes over in 2015. Brandon Weeden is done in the NFL after this season, he is incapable of learning from his mistakes and improving his game. My biggest hope was that Weeden would see Hoyer play, see how what he did that was successful and learn from him, study the tape, practice with the second team, do whatever was needed to make sure that should he be the starter once again we wouldn't be treated to this:


Brandon Weeden's record as a starter of the Cleveland Browns is 6-20, and it really doesn't look like we're going to win another game this season. I'd rather deal with a mid-round pick and the chance at a winning record than sucking again for another year.

I meant it as an agreement and indictment on Dline depth around around the league. They also signed NT sealver siliga who hav been cut by the broncos Seahawks and 9ers. And last week they signed someone named andre niblett. No need to nit pick here.

well Campbell been named the starter this week Link

All I can remember of his play last year was getting blown out by SF and a horribly awful 2 minute drill against the Texans ending with him throwing to Forte (who was Quadruple covered) hoping for a flag

Looks like Mary Kay Cabot was wrong again >_< Ugh the Cleveland sports press sucks. (She said there was a 90% chance of Weeden being named the starter for this week).

As to the switch to Jason Campbell, it should have happened last week. Win, lose, or draw, it was apparent to anyone that saw Weeden play against the Lions that he just cannot cut it in the NFL. Now we get to see whether or not Campbell can...
