I hope Dayne has another 100 yard game to stick it in the face of all his critics.

Houston at Cleveland. Partly sunny. High in the upper 40s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

This should be one of the best games to watch this week. Very exciting. Who'd have thunk after going into this season.

Cleveland wearing the throwback...... helmet and socks??

 

[prymetyme25]

Even though they didn't make it on that 4th down try, I absolutely love the call and believe that Kubiak is really winning over the fans in Houston with calls like that.

 

[mr. furley]

Browns fans forget that their teams is playing today?

 

[Intergalactic Kegger]

Cleveland wearing the throwback...... helmet and socks??

The "classic" Browns look, the one they wore when they won all those championships, was "all white". NFL rules allow the home team to pick which jersey they wore, and for years and years only the Browns and Cowboys chose to wear white at home. And since the Cowboys don't wear white pants, the Browns "all white" look was their signature, as they were forced to wear white when they went on the road as well because everyone else except Dallas picked their non-white jersey for home games.Its odd for the Browns to be doing a "throwback jersey" weekend yet not wearing all whites at home.

 

[Buckna]

Mario with a nice 3rd down stop. Good penetration by the Houston D'line everywhere.

interesting. i did not know this about the Browns.

So far the Browns making the same mistake against us that NO made last week. Running the ball and trying to pound it against us is not a good idea, we are actually a good run stopping unit.

Its our 2ndary that is weak, it's freaking swiss cheese! Just throw deep!

 

[prymetyme25]

okay thats the second time walter has had to dodge the ref.

GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!

 

[Houston turmOiler]

TD Kevin Walter

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Walter having a good game 4-46 1TD so far....

I agree. Our pass rush is usually non-existent. It also doesn't seem likely that our DBs can keep up with Braylon, Winslow, and Jurevicius the whole game....

And Bingo, Braylon with a 20 yarder.

wow does Jamal chop his steps a lot. more and more every season.

I actually think Bennett better than most think and will prove to be a starter worthy CB in this league.

 

[Fallerjw]

Dear DA,

Please stop missing wide open receivers.

Thank you,

a Browns fan

I like what I've seen of Bennett, but knowing DeMarcus Faggins is out there somewhere scares the hell outta me....

He's looked good so far. I also think the D'line has been getting better every game at generating pressure up front. So far they are looking good against the Brown's today.Nice block by Leach on that reverse.

 

[mr. furley]

Ron Dayne enjoying some huge holes and running hard. he's gotta be around 50yds already, no?

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Dayne running up the middle like they're playing against air...

Walter in the right place again...

That should have been cut 2 years ago. I just dont see what he has to offer.

[Houston turmOiler]

Nice shove in the back by Andra Davis on Joel Dreesen to cause the ball to pop in the air for an INT...

Guess the ref is too busy getting in everyone's way over the middle to actually make a call...

He's a good nickel and dime back and will be nice depth. But he has no business being a starting corner. Just completely overmatched.

Way to miss BE wide open over the middle, AGAIN!!

 

[Buckna]

Dear DA, Please stop missing wide open receivers.Thank you,a Browns fan

I see what you mean. Missed a wide open Braylon just now. Please keep it up DA.Thank you,a Texans fan

 

[Fallerjw]

TD Browns, and here we go. We have a game.

 

[Buckna]

That's the secondary I know and love.

~~~~~~~

Alrighty, Texans let's try and rally and get that momentum back we had until the turnover.

 

[splitvizionz]

Braylon!

 

[erymer]

Braylon!

there we go. I need a whole lot more of that. Very nice.

Maybe I'm way off, but I think the same thing about CC Brown at safety. That was a weak tackle attempt on Jamal Lewis before the Braylon TD. Usually I just see him late to come over and help Faggins on a TD pass. Dude should be a backup, I almost hate Faggins and Brown as much as I did Matt Stevens a few years ago (worst player EVAH!!)....

Don't get me started on our safety's. Guys should not be starting for anyone.

Kris Brown kicks like the guy who comes down from the crowd at halftime to try and kick a 30 yd field goal so he can win round trip tickets to Cancun.

wtf?

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Pool laying the lumber to Owen Daniels there. Wow!

 

[Buckna]

Owen will feel that tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~

I love tv announcers. I think Devin Hester might have something to say about Cribbs being the most dangerous return man in the NFL.

 

[mr. furley]

Steve Tasker employing the hyperbole today

 

[Buckna]

Good job Bennet!

Who on earth was DA throwing that ball to?

 

[Fallerjw]

What a terrible pass.....

 

[prymetyme25]

yeah i was thinking the same thing. They said that on ESPN too but I think the guy who said it, said it was because he covers kicks too.

 

[prymetyme25]

Wow that was dangerous :X

 

[prymetyme25]

That is why the people in Houston dont like Dayne. His boxscores lie.
