Orion Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 New Uniforms! Wonder what Jimmuh & Dee will have them wearing? Polka Dots maybe... New Offensive Line! Between FA & the draft, 3 spots need upgrading. We'll get Myles back! (in theory) And Njoku! (Njoku might as well go back on IR and be ready for next year) .......I know we're not eliminated from the playoffs....but....c'mon, let's face it....it's On To 2020.

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I still plan on watching and enjoying the remainder of this season. As tough as that may seem. Expectations lead to disappointment, as Browns fans, we all understand this. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I’m quite interested in seeing how the rest of this year shakes out. These last few games have mettle testing written all over them. How does Kitchens handle it? How does the DL handle losing their superstar? Will anyone besides Bitonio and Tretter make a case for themselves to play next year on the Oline? Will Greedy learn how to turn his head? Will Swagger II remain undefeated at home? Inquiring minds wanna know... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Steeler offense is decimated. So, that would be why. I didn't....because I know how much we struggle against good defensive fronts.

(Just the top of my head) Yeah, it's harder to win on the road. When I wrote my Handicapping program, many years ago, I always gave the home team a FG (3 points). But when I was a little kid, we kicked the Steelers' assess no matter where we played them. It's all related to how 'good' the team is. And the Steelers have been good for a very long time now. And we've been lopsidedly BAD for a long time. It was so VERY disappointing to lose THIS year in Pittsburgh because in their weakened state, we were so much better than them. We had so many more good skill players than they could field. But their strength (defensive front) matched up against our weakness (OL) was such that it hampered our ability to actually USE our strength. Our OL is a calamity of errors. Sashi, the stuck up lawyer, pulled the offer to Mitchell Shwartz so we've struggled at RT. Joe Thomas retired and we've struggled at LT since then. And finally, Dorsey made HIS blunder with Austin Corbett....thinking HE would replace Zeitler. Dorsey has work to do this offseason.....and at the top of the list has to be OL. (unless HC leapfrogs into 1st place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta be blamed on Jimmy & Dee. I wrote Jimmy a letter a couple of years back explaining my displeasure with the uni's.and his reason of Modernizing the uniforms. I told him that I didn't think that the Yankees would be giving up the pin stripes for polka dots any time soon. (among other things) I wasn't mean or anything in the letter but I did say that I couldn't finish the letter by saying Thank You because I couldn't think of anything to thank him for. He sent a polite letter back. In it stating that he would turn over the letter to marketing. (I also told him that the name Browns down the leg was my idea and that it was stolen off a message board) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was a Pirates & Steeler fan. We would go over and visit him at my aunt & uncle's house and he would say to me, Oh Allen, your Browns beat us up again. The Steelers always stunk for him. VERY shortly after he died Franco Harris made the Immaculate Reception. My grandfather was a good man and a good guy. I miss him to this day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
