(Pretends Tolbert wasn't also their guy) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Separately, I spoke too soon about that game! This has been the most TT+Browns feeling game you could ever have That's not even totally accurate! They signed Ivory for $3 million guaranteed to replace Tolbert, while Murphy was just chilling on the roster for league minimum money. Quote

You think that's symmetrical? Wait until week 5 of 2024, when he's lost 100 more consecutive games. 2 Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 Bill BarnwellVerified account @billbarnwell 5m5 minutes ago More The Browns are +5 in takeaways today. Since the Browns returned to the NFL, teams with a turnover margin of +5 or better in a game are 132-4-1. The Browns are responsible for two of those losses and the tie. 1 Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Draft talk: I posit two scenarios. Say we finish in last place, and a QB rockets up the board. Other teams want the QB and are willing to give a typical haul. Do you a.) Make the trade and load up b.) stay but take Bosa/stud DE c.) stay but take the QB, even if we feel reasonable about Allen at the end of the year Second scenario: No QB emerges as a true stud, and it's likely that one of the DEs goes first. Do you a.) take the DE b.) try to trade down for volume, recognizing the demand for your pick won't be as high We have 10 picks in the draft already. I don't know enough about where you should take certain picks, but I want OL, I want defensive ends, and I want good WRs. I also don't know which you're more likely to get in FA. Next week talk: Opening in Baltimore, with Peterman, in that weather makes us look like an 0-16 team, where if we can sign a better QB/play Allen we might be a 3-4 win team. I'm curious if some of the guys with brutal penalties get cut/removed from their starting roles, and what we do at QB. I don't think we'll be as bad next week, though I think the Chargers are a strong team that will beat us. It sounds like Joey Bosa will be out. 4 minutes ago, Weave said: How can any of us laugh at Cleveland given what has been on display in Orchard Park over the last decade plus? Because Cleveland has been orders of magnitude worse over that same stretch It's been over 630 days since they won a football game and they are 4-44-1 over their last 49 games We need our petty victories to stay sane Edited September 9, 2018 by Randall Flagg typed wrong numbers Quote
Randall Flagg Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 It's hard to imagine being able to justify bringing Peterman back into the locker room for another week of practice to be honest Taking bets on Paxton Lynch starting next week! Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 Worst game by a Bills team maybe ever. No QB, No O-Line, No Defense. Nothing. A joke. Quote

There are only two positions I'd be okay with staying at #1 for: DE and QB. Anything else, trade down. And we all know that there is no reality in which the Bills draft a QB there, regardless of how this season plays out. Quote

So if it's us and Bosa on top, do you want to grab him, or would you move back? I think, especially by next year, DE is going to be an unnoticed-but-critical need. Of course, if they do go DE, I'd like every other pick and addition to go towards offense. Quote
SwampD Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 Did I hear correct on some pregame today that Dareus was worth 40 less rushing yards per game. Good thing we got rid of that doper. 2 Quote

If Bosa is so good that he is clearly the best player in the draft (like Myles Garrett, just for an example), then I stay put. Otherwise I move down. I'm leaning towards he's that good, but I'd like to see the rest of the season play out and have a better handle on the other options available before I lock myself into that position. 1 Quote

Hoss Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 1 hour ago, TrueBlueGED said: Could probably say the same about Big Ben. Of course, I'm sure somewhere there are people shouting to the clouds that turnovers don't matter as long as you can get passing yardage. Big Ben is far above mediocre. If he has a bad day it’s because the opposing defense played at a high level. Same can’t be said for my boy Tyrod (I will state once again that I am a huge Tyrod fan as a Va Tech fan). Quote

And McDermott's "command" of the room? Process? And so on? I just spent 3 hours on this game, you have to let me have something! Couldn't take anymore after the score went to 32-0. So, only wasted about 2-1/4 hours. :p Could be worse, could be a paying customer in Miami. If that game doesn't finish before next Sunday, do the Titans & Fish have to play a double header that day?
