    They're not 9 point dogs

    Line is 6.5

    Dalton seems to be streaky, to me. He'll put together 2 or 3 really good games and then he looks like total dogcrap. That's part of the reason that, regardless of talent level by Cincy, I always think the Browns have a punchers chance against QB's like Dalton & Flacco. They wil usually do something (turnover, wildly erratic, etc) to keep the game close. With the Browns defense, my biggest concern is that RB. I read that even when Bernard comes back, Hill may be their full-time RB because he runs better between the tackles than Gio.

    I'd heard driving in that the line jumped from 6.5 to 9.

    Cleveland radio is wrong? Say what?

    I doubt they give Hill full-time RB duties, but it's pretty clear that Bernard might last 5 years at-most if he continues to get punished like he has. Also, if I'm Gio, I hold out for a contract as soon as I can given that I may not get a chance at a 3rd contract.

    Too bad browns NEVER capitalize on turnovers.

    Billy Cundiff probably isn't a bad addition for fantasy football players. :D

    What do you expect from fans of a Kentucky team?

    @treed1919: #Bengals WR Greg Little says Thursday's game is "personal" and "somebody's gotta pay."

    Lolwut?
  • Commander of Awesome
    @treed1919: Little says #Browns Mike Pettine "doesn't talk to any of his players. You could walk past him in the hallway and he won't even speak to you"

    Must not talk to people that don't play for the browns and cut by the raiders. Lol lol lol

    Was Little even still with the team when Pettine was hired? If he was Pettine probably didn't talk to him (Little) because he figured Little was a better communicator by e-mail where he could just "drop" Pettine a line.

    Little prob wasn't able to catch what pettine said lol lol lol
  • BR1986FB
    Will Little even play?
  • Commander of Awesome
    God I hope so.

    Didn't play Sunday.

    Little is talking as if he's actually going to play.

    I was going to say that Little talking trash is the equivalent of the holder on placekicks, who probably gets more playing time, talking tough.
  • like_that
    If he plays he owes us a few drops and a tipped int. It's personal for us as well.

    You know how this stuff works. A crappy former player comes back to haunt ya! Sort like Rainey did last week in the first half
  • BR1986FB
    Hopefully Crowell is out of Pettine's doghouse by Thursday.
  • Commander of Awesome
    Hopefully nick McDonald forgets he's McDonald, a center that sucks ass and plays like one that doesn't.

    This is rough. As a former O-Lineman, watching him get pancaked by McCoy was embarrassing. That just doesn't happen to an O-Lineman. They are going to have to have one of the guards help him out.
  • like_that
    McCoy was a beast and I am glad I was able to watch him in person. Would've been nice to see him go up against Mack though.

    Also, why do you all think Hoyer is afraid to run because of his injury last season? There were about 3 times he had more than plenty of room to run for the first down, but he didn't. He hasn't done it all year.
