    Guess who is in charge of that for the Eagles?

    Pat Shurmur

    LOL
    It is so pathetic that clown was a head coach. Fuck Holmgren.

    Also I am watching the Ravens/Bengals game and Flacco is looking like shit lol. Dalton isn't doing any better. He is having a hard time with the pressure. Hopefully Horton has this D ready with an extra week to prepare.

    Christ, I have to watch the shitty bills/Steelers game. No idea why my area doesn't have the cincy game on

    The Cincy game is a pretty big mismatch so far

    Flacco with a near 2nd INT, god awful throw again, but crocker dropped it. Looked like Greg Little.

    Crocker got toasted early for a 48 yard penalty and had a PI for another 15 yards as well to add to his game.

    Sounds like a sloppy game

    Kinda is.....Ravens getting decent pressure on Dalton and he looks terrible and Bengals getting some pressure and Flacco is looking like the 20th best QB

    With the Ravens win... the game next week with the Bengals would be to give us a share of the lead. Ravens are now ties with the Browns as well.

    Browns would still be behind .5 game if they win next week.

    Yea I can't read when I was looking at the standings, and forgot Bengals had 6 instead of 5...Reading fail on my part.

    Unfortunately, Dalton is due for a big game next weekend. Let's hope the Browns and Horton come in prepared!

    How is he "due?" If he was a perennial pro bowl QB that was struggling I would say he was due, but fortunately he's not. Need Haden to step up again and shut down Green.

    Because that's just the way he is, terribly inconsistent. Great for a few games, then terrible for a few games. He's typically pretty damn good at home though.

    If the Browns D-line gets decent pressure and keeps their hands up when they don't......Dalton will struggle. Bengals have a lot of talent but I'd Dalton is rushed....he will struggle.

    He had three good games vs some shitty pass defenses. Jets have a solid D, however they completely just sat on their asses that game. I will be pretty pissed if Horton and co allow dalton to light it up with an extra week to prepare.

    Has the Browns defense been as tight on the road?

    Other than the first half of the chiefs game and the packers game, they have been tough.

    I doubt Shula will do much to throw them off. If Gresham is back he'll be a bit of a factor though.

    Gresham sucks. Eifert is already better than him. How could the Browns D not be amped for this game? They've not gotten to hit an opponent in over a week! Not to mention, they're fighting to stay in contention!

    S&L lets start the Bengals game thread before a cincy "fan" does.

    Hell even if a cincy fan does, make a separate thread for Cleveland fans out of superstition lol.
