I'm in your area code, buuuut not quite that old but yeah, it is pathetic to make more than one.BR1986FB;1870545 wrote:I'm skeptical that kizer and thavoice are the same person. If I recall, thavoice isn't that far off in age from me. If he's creating alt-usernames at that age, that's a pretty f#cking sad life. I'll be 50 next month and I've never had the desire to create a fake persona name.
As far as this game, I'll say Shitsburgh by 10 but will give a virtual "high five" to S&L if his prediction is correct.
I have been off and on and haven't seen sleeper. Is Kiser sleeper?
Doesn't matter......SL is always wrong about me. Calls me ND fan, Someone else accuse me of being some other name on here that I forget and now this.
I guess I have left a lasting impression on many a browns fan!
Still think Cleveland wins this one. They think Bell can just pop back in and have a huge game. Not gonna happen. Browns seem to start seasons looking pretty decent and I think they open a lot of eyes and beat the Steelers Nation.
Just hoping I get to see part of the game! -

This...I agree that it's juvenile and pathetic for anyone that's beyond high school to create a new screen name just to troll.BRF;1870565 wrote:

BR1986FBAs far as Sunday goes, some things I'd like to see from the Browns:
1) Establish the running game. Don't get cute and put the world on the shoulders of your rookie QB.
2) The defense to look much improved and keep this game competitive, with at least 3 sacks of TheRapist.
3) Kizer to manage the game without committing a bunch of turnovers. 175-200 yards passing and a TD would be nice.
4) (Bonus round) Exploit Joe Haden. Send Coleman on a nine early and see if they can torch Haden. -

yeah I mean I don't think we can realistically look for a win. It's the best team we play. A win would be nice, but if we can just move the offense down the field, get some touchdowns, make some nice stops on defense, and not be completley out of the game in the 4th it's a huge win. For the past several years we don't even look like an NFL team. If kizer can at least move the offense so we're not punting to Pittsburgh after 3 plays and giving them great field position, it'll be a huge improvement. I just want to look like we actually belong out there for once and be entertaining.BR1986FB;1870614 wrote:As far as Sunday goes, some things I'd like to see from the Browns:

Just to verify, looking at the IP logs, there is nothing unusual about the IP addresses used by kizer's account. The automatic assumption that someone you don't agree with must be another user with a new name is just as annoying as whatever issues you have with the guy. Give it a rest.kizer permanente;1870641 wrote:I don't use multiple usernames. I use one. This one. Literally only have issues with 2 people on this board. Guess who. -

I actually agree with a lot of his posts, but I am calling bullshit on him being a new poster. He is bringing up a lot of past shit on this site that new poster wouldn't be aware of. I suppose he could have been a very long time reader, but that is not probable. Congrats he found a way make his ip undetectable. If he is insecure enough that he needs to use another username then so be it, but don't feed me this bullshit that he is a new poster.justincredible;1870660 wrote:Just to verify, looking at the IP logs, there is nothing unusual about the IP addresses used by kizer's account.

I already said I was moving on, but you all keep revisiting it. For the sake of moving on, I would like to elaborate BR's dream of 3 sacks won't happen with Myles out. -

I'm not saying he's a new member. I'm saying he doesn't appear to be an alter-ego of a current member. He could certainly be an old member resurrected.

You can stop laughing now.
They can get to rapistberger 3 times. He holds into it a long time so that is attainable even though protection was better last year. Likely will have to throw more with Bell and the run game not having the reps thus far. -
kizer permanenteNot trying to troll anyone. I love Cleveland sports. Majority of my posts will be browns/cavs related. I love the Indians but I admittedly don't watch enough to comment on them. Therefore I read Indians threads but don't really post on them. Not an osu fan so you won't see me on those threads either.
I apologize for immature posts to s&l. I got defensive and shouldn't have. Hopefully this will/can be the last post not directly related to the Browns. -

Not so sure about that. Most of the Browns sacks came off blitzes, or by other players, in the preseason. I expect Gregg Williams to dial it up for this game. Garrett can be an impact player but I wasn't counting on him to get a bunch of sacks in this game. Was only hoping for the one that would end PorkPie's career.like_that;1870659 wrote:The bolded is a pipe dream. -

LOL at Hogan being backup QB. Kessler fucking blew it. -
kizer permanente
I'm assuming they want to run him in some packages. Add the fact that Kessler isn't any better, it only makes sense. At least Hogan has a purpose on this team.Commander of Awesome;1870689 wrote:LOL at Hogan being backup QB. Kessler fucking blew it. -

I get the impression that Hue likes QB's that can be somewhat of a "dual threat." Not that Hogan's passing ability is anything stellar but he can move the chains with his feet. Kessler is a sitting duck back there and doesn't have much of an arm either.Commander of Awesome;1870689 wrote:LOL at Hogan being backup QB. Kessler fucking blew it. -

I think it has more to do with Kessler being a slow processor and fear of letting it loose than dual threat. Kessler came in as the fucking starter and barely makes the team. That's not a good look.BR1986FB;1870705 wrote:I get the impression that Hue likes QB's that can be somewhat of a "dual threat."

Not to mention Hue with his "trust me" comments about Kessler last year. Kind of leaves a little to be desired about the "quarterback whisperer" title Hue has been given by many.Commander of Awesome;1870712 wrote:I think it has more to do with Kessler being a slow processor and fear of letting it loose than dual threat.

It's early, but yeah I did say earlier expect the Texans go on an inspirational run. Their offensive line looked TERRIBLE. Not a good recipe for a shitty QB (savage) or rookie QB.GOONx19;1871080 wrote:This. No longer worried about a Saints-like response to the hurricane.
First time I have ever said this, but I am rooting for the bengals Thursday night. -

From what I saw on twitter, Desaun really struggles with pressure, and with that crap OL they will have a rough go of it in any game. I think Watson can be good, but hopefully he doesn't put it together this year. Those 2 picks could be huge. -

I said before the season that the Browns will finish ahead of Cincy in this division. I know COA wasn't high on Baltiwhore, and I hate them too, but I see them finishing second. Their defense seems like they can carry that team.like_that;1871092 wrote: First time I have ever said this, but I am rooting for the bengals Thursday night.
