Game Thread W6 - Cleveland V Oakland (1 Viewer)

[Mr Rodgers neighborhood]

Shane Lechler is 2/3 for 51 yards and a TD? I saw the pass to Boss, but how does Boller play another snap in this league?

And here comes Bush to close it out.

DMC hurt?

why CLE is spiting itself by not playing hillis is beyond me. one of the worst run franchises in all sports.

He is an average RB with fumbling problems and wants to be paid top dollar. I don't see why Cleveland would be in a hurry to dish out a bunch of money for such a replaceable player.

exactly. hardesty is proving just how replaceable hillis is.

please explain?

I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm.

I thought he was trying to be sarcastic but I couldn't tell because he made a pretty true statement.

How many years do think Hardesty will be in the league before he catches 61 passes?

He had 8 in the last two games. I'm guessing he would be close to that in a year. I'm not saying he is a world beater but he doesn't have to be in order to replace Hillis. One drops passes the other fumbles and neither have a good YPC.

How many fumbles does Hillis have this year? Perhaps I am missing something, but Hardesty is mediocre at best. He looks like a middling talent that is coming off a knee injury. Hillis looks to have a higher motor, more strength, better vision, far superior receiving and blocking skills as well as (for the time being at least) better wheels.

Ah, nfl.com corrected itself. That's what I get for being on that site.

I can't believe I would ever ask this question, but...

How is Kyle Boller looking?

Their gamecenters have hit a new low this year.

It probably won't matter, but I don't see the point of going for it there rather than just taking a FG to go up 17.

Was just coming in here to post the same thing.

It was a pretty dumb move.

The only hope you have if you're a Hillis owner is you've got to hope he gets traded.

Am I the only person starting to wonder if he has quit on this team? The problems that seem to be keeping him sidelined seem pretty strange?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Why run play-action at this point of the game?

would be a weird way to get paid . . .

Can someone tell me why the Raiders decided not to go up 3 scores with 4 minutes left and instead went for it on 4th from the 5? Seems beyond ridiculous. Seabass hurt?

Hillis and his agent haven't displayed a ton of rational thought recently.

I so hope the Browns get the onside here and put it in the end zone just to highlight this.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I thought Cribbs touched it early.

Would be nice to have those three points right now.

As much as I have liked Jackson, that was a very poor coaching decision there.
