This will be pinned once the games start

Post comments here and please be excellent with one another

 

[TS Garp]

Palmer looking more sharp in the first drive than he did all of last week.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Fumble!

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Stupid challenge unless Mangini was going to take a time anyway. Clearly not a catch.

 

[patv66]

Mangini wastes a challenge and a timeout. He's in top form as usual.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

At this point, I'm not sure Delhomme is any better than Wallace. That throw to Watson was on the money; just defended well by the Bengals.

Saw that Scott was in during their red zone plays on the last drive. Anything happened to Benson?

He literally played hot potato with the football.

 

[midnight_green81]

I think he had a miscommunication with Palmer earlier that led to a fumble...

 

[GroveDiesel]

How much longer before Benson becomes the backup? His YPC is atrocious.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Hard to tell, but it looked like Owens pushed off on the TD reception. It would have been nice to see a better view on the replay.

 

[jerry jones]

Owens with the 78 yard td..!

 

[jafo]

Horrible personal foul call there.

 

[bcat01]

Horrible personal foul call there.

That was an awfull call. How can you not be allowed to hit the guy when he catches the ball? He did not lead with the head.

 

[TS Garp]

Seems like the Browns are targeting Watson pretty heavily, for what it's worth.

 

[jafo]

WTF is up with these bogus penalties??

 

[jafo]

Wow. Hillis takes a beating but keeps on moving.

Get ready for a Hillis TD here.

That was a bad call. I know they changed the rule or whatever but I don't think that qualified.Hillis just plowed Williams lol...

 

[Bobcat10]

Vickers should have been called for illegal motion on that TD run, no?

 

[jafo]

Looked like he moved early...but barely.

 

[jafo]

Williams just left the game...ha.

 

[Romofan]

I have a mancrush on Hillis! That's the way I like my FF players to play!!

 

[TS Garp]

Have to say, Wallace has looked impressive. Really hope the Browns don't bench him for Delhomme.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Is benson on the bench or hurt

 

[TS Garp]

Is benson on the bench or hurt

He's in there.

 

[nxmehta]

I've gotta say, Carson Palmer hangs on to the ball WAY too long out there.

 

[nxmehta]

He's in there.

Yes, they are just throwing a lot. TO is tearing us up.

 

[jafo]

TO looking great today. Catching everything and fighting for YAC.

 

[TS Garp]

Benson's at his best when he can just wear the defense down over 25+ carries. When the pace of the game is different, he's not that effective. Have to think the Bengals start working in Scott more and more.

 

[cheesedoodle]

is jerome harrison active and just not playing at all or is he inactive today?

 

[Bobcat10]

is jerome harrison active and just not playing at all or is he inactive today?

he is inactive. hillis is a beast.

 

[jafo]

is jerome harrison active and just not playing at all or is he inactive today?

I believe he's active...but the way Hillis is running he'll be lucky to even sniff the field today.

 

[TS Garp]

Wow, monster effort from TO today.

 

[scott72]

Looks like the Bungles are back..

 

[jafo]

TO over 200 yards...

 

[The_Wolfman]

Wow brutal hit on Shipley in the endzone

 

[PennStater77]

Wow brutal cheapshot on Shipley in the endzone

Fixed!!

 

[jafo]

Wow brutal hit on Shipley in the endzone

Palmer getting into his face...who made that hit? Looked a little unnecessary.

Browns just blowing it with penalties.

Ward.It deserved a flag because of the rule but I'm not sure I'd call it a cheap shot. He's a big hitter trying to not allow a td. Shipley's head was lowered a bit. You can't ask these guys not to play hard. I'm sure if Shipley pulls in the grab and Ward doesn't go for a hit he gets lambasted for not trying to break up the play.

 

[Porkchop]

I think the Browns 3-game streak of blowing a lead in the 2nd half may be in jeopardy.

Mangini has 4 mins to go though... plenty of time.

 

[nxmehta]

Hillis is icing this game, despite Daboll's attempts to get Wallace to throw it away. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to come out throwing on this drive...

 

[Porkchop]

Go Brownies!

Really glad to pick this one up... I think we really needed this one, if only for morale reasons with the upcoming schedule.

p.s. Hillis is still a beast.
