Game Thread W1 - Cleveland V Tampa Bay (1 Viewer)

[Andy Hicks]

Welcome to the opening week for 2010.

Please try and help those who aren't watching by describing events and developments.

If someone is getting lots of targets, let everyone know

If someone has barely been on the field etc.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Pretty sure that I'll be talking to myself in here. Anyone seen Cappy?

 

[Falon]

did hillis start the game?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

did hillis start the game?

Didn't really see but Harrison and Hillis have been in about the same.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Hillis just laid the wood on a TB DB.

 

[latrops]

Only midway through the first, but Hillis in on 3rd down and getting more touches in general. Cleveland throwing more than they should with a terrible starting qb and no recievers.

 

[towney]

Some thing tells me I should grab Hillis off the WW. This guy catches and runs with the ball dragging defenders.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Massaquoi TD!!!!!!!!

 

[latrops]

And as soon as I criticize the Cleveland pass offense, Delhomme to Massaquoi for a TD....though the TB defensive backs made it easy

 

[Young 8]

DELHOMME IS BACK

 

[TS Garp]

Looks like Williams is going to see a ton of targets. Freeman to Williams could be a fun combo for a long time.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Haden looking like the real deal.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

It is looking more and more like the Hillis show.

(TheHuddle) Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Harrison will open the 2010 season as the team's No. 1 running back, reports The Columbus Dispatch. The big question is whether or not he can hold up to the demands of being a feature back for a 16-game schedule. RB Peyton Hillis is also expected to see action at tailback.

Analysis: With Montario Hardesty on IR there is no question Harrison could be in line for 18-20 total touches per week. His longest run in the pre-season was only nine yards, but if he recaptures some of his 2009 late-season magic (286 yards in week 15 vs. KC) he'll be a nice value pick.

Lol @ that....

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Cribbs to Wallace for about 10.

 

[nxmehta]

I am shocked that Hillis is getting so many carries...

 

[jonboltz]

There we go Jerome!

 

[nxmehta]

Yeah, and that's why. Harrison is pretty good.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Nice hole and great run by Harrison.

 

[Native]

LOL at Mangini. Doesnt give Harrison the ball for 1.5 quarters and then when he finally gets the rock he rushes for 39 yards. Just dont get that guy.

 

[jonboltz]

Ugh, that cements me being forced to bid high for Hillis...

 

[shortbow]

LOL at Mangini. Doesnt give Harrison the ball for 1.5 quarters and then when he finally gets the rock he rushes for 39 yards. Just dont get that guy.

He has never like Harrison, but ffs give him the ball.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

LOL at Mangini. Doesnt give Harrison the ball for 1.5 quarters and then when he finally gets the rock he rushes for 39 yards. Just dont get that guy.

Meanwhile Hillis is 6-34-1, should he be benched?

 

[Osaurus]

More solid D for the Bucs. The young approach is really paying dividends (for other teams)

 

[basher]

Ugh, that cements me being forced to bid high for Hillis...

what are you thinking for a fair bid on hillis?

 

[delusional]

come on TB, dont be the team that loses my pool this week

 

[shortbow]

come on TB, dont be the team that loses my pool this week

Bucs are 2.5 pt favorite for some reason, but I got some money and they are my pick in my pool this week (the browns that is)

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Ronde Barber just got run down from behind by Peyton Hillis.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

And there is Delhomme with the terrible decision.

 

[Rick James]

hillis with another fumble. what will it take for mangini to give the damn ball to harrison?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Hillis earning his way on the bench with his second fumble of the day. This one in the redzone.

 

[shortbow]

Who is this Jerome Harrison guy?

 

[Eviloutsider]

That can't be good for Hillis owners.

 

[nxmehta]

LOL at Mangini. Doesnt give Harrison the ball for 1.5 quarters and then when he finally gets the rock he rushes for 39 yards. Just dont get that guy.

Meanwhile Hillis is 6-34-1, should he be benched?

Now he should

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

That can't be good for Hillis owners.

No it can't. The sad thing is that he has looked very good otherwise.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

LOL at Mangini. Doesnt give Harrison the ball for 1.5 quarters and then when he finally gets the rock he rushes for 39 yards. Just dont get that guy.

Meanwhile Hillis is 6-34-1, should he be benched?

Now he should

Can't say I disagree. You can't keep putting the ball on the turf.

 

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

I will just never get some coaches. It's as if their thought process goes like this.... "Hmmmm... Every time that I give this guy the ball he explodes and does great things for our team. I just don't know if I should give him the ball or not..."

 

[Eviloutsider]

Prediction: Harrison ends up with over 100 yards and a TD still.

 

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

Hillis fumbles and the coach punishes him by not running him..... or Harrison.

 

[TS Garp]

Does either of these teams want to win this game?

 

[shortbow]

This game has been so poorly played.

 

[delusional]

most games are going to look like this when the NFL has replacement players

 

[TS Garp]

DELHOMME IS BACK

He's back alright. Back to being a terrible NFL QB.

 

[nxmehta]

Man, that throw was terrible. Terrible!

Sad... I thought we were going to be better this year.

 

[jonboltz]

Lol Hillis back in the game.

 

[Osaurus]

From the jaws of victory

 

[shortbow]

Lol Hillis back in the game.

Funny because harrison is just standing around. Mangini rage is building.Team Mangini-Hillis-Delhomme

 

[Bojang0301]

Eric Mangini is the stupidest coach in the NFL.

 

[Osaurus]

Pretty bad game overall IMO

 

[latrops]

Great gameplan by the Brownies...de-emphasize Harrison in favor of Delhomme and Hillis...I'm shocked that didn't work.
