[Khari]

y the hell is there a game tonight :thinking:

[The Jerm!]

y the hell is there a game tonight :thinking:

Flex Schedules and were into november. I think they started thursday games last year around this time as well.

[Calm_Cool_49er]

Good idea or Bad idea?

I am starting Winslow tonight versus the dilapidated defense of the Broncos.

[Corycouger]

they are starting the games earlier this year

last 2 years they started on Thanksgiving

I hope it is a shootout and not a 9-3 game since both have suspect defenses.

[glassrose106]

I think Quinn will do ok tonight.

[Double_L]

For those of you who don't have NFL Network and want to catch the game I'd like to remind everyone that the game will be streamed online at:

[Optimus Moo]

I am at a sports bar watching it (since I don't get NFL-N and it's my day off and I wanted to see the game for the heck of it.) They have NFL-N HD here but a lot of the TVs are on NFL-N SD, and HD lags behind SD, so I'm stuck watching SD because why watch in HD when everyone cheers seconds before I see the play?

Minor griping I guess.

[NyNinerFan]

You forgot the bolded, size 7 font on that... :dance:

yep!! you're right! :laugh:

[Optimus Moo]

Wow all the Browns fans in this sports bar are pumped to have Quinn starting.

Watch him suck badly, LOL!

I figure he knows how to suck -- he looks more like a woman than his sister does, and his sister looks like a man!

[Double_L]

Anybody watching the stream and have a really choppy playback?

[Ronin 49er]

y the hell is there a game tonight :thinking:
I checked the schedule and there will be a Thursday game from here to week 16.

[Montana_Magic]

stupid nfl.com stopped playing for me. Missed that drive. Luckily stoogetv is good.

[650Niners]

What was that all about?

Trying to get him to respond

[badass316]

Why can't they just show the game normally instead of having some fat *** argue with TD about running backs and QBs? It's not even worth it to watch the nfl.com live stream since you get more of Duke's fat *** yapping away than actual game footage.

[NyNinerFan]

i just started Winslow over Owen Daniels in my league too..

wow.. imagine if we had a tight end who actually was a red zone threat..

[94949'er]

Clady and Royal. Nice 1-2 picking.

[Optimus Moo]

Good idea or Bad idea?

I am starting Winslow tonight versus the dilapidated defense of the Broncos.

He scored a TD.

Because the online stream is a tease only. That's what it's supposed to be.

Yeah haha, thank god for Dish Network!

[650Niners]

Yeah haha, thank god for Dish Network!

[niner21]

heres the game for ppl who doesnt have nfl network http://www.justin.tv/hercules_hercules

[Optimus Moo]

Trying to get him to respond

I don't think I've ever seen him post anything outside a game day thread or a season outlook thread.

[Vivek49erFan]

lol

Make that two TDs.

[Alti50]

dangit dude i was hoping torain would come through

[Double_L]

Hahaha looks like we've run out of running backs. Peyton Hillis the rookie FB should get the nod the rest of the way unless Torain can make it back somehow. Torain looked good while he was in there too :cry:

[Optimus Moo]

How pathetic would the AFC West look if Cleveland won?

[Double_L]

How pathetic would the AFC West look if Cleveland won?
Cleveland is the only team who've beaten the Giants thus far. They're not a bad football team.

[Optimus Moo]

Cleveland is the only team who've beaten the Giants thus far. They're not a bad football team.

But the Browns alone do not justify the AFC West's record as a whole.

[Montana_Magic]

and to think people had the Broncos in the top 10 in the power rankings at one point.

[49ersz]

Looks like Brady has a new job

[Vivek49erFan]

Man... Denver is pathetic

[Double_L]

But the Browns alone do not justify the AFC West's record as a whole.
Well it's already well known that the AFC West is ****, I don't know what point you're trying to make.

And what an awful way to end the 1st half. Seriously, wtf?

[Optimus Moo]

Well it's already well known that the AFC West is ****, I don't know what point you're trying to make.

That was my point, how cruddy the AFC West has become.

[Zhero06]

Lol, Quinn is only looking half decent due to the Browns running game, the dink and dunk play calling, and the fact that he's playing against a trash defense with no pass rush to speak of and many of their starters out. Can't wait to see him choke against a half decent defense.

[Optimus Moo]

What's the GH on the helmets of the Browns? I know what GU is.

[Montana_Magic]

Gene Hickerson.

[Optimus Moo]

Gene Hickerson.

Thanks!

[Double_L]

Rogers goes down. This could be a big blow for the Browns.

[Hobbes2d]

Just got home, so far not too impressed.

So true.

[Optimus Moo]

Nice defense on that one for the Browns... NOT!

[Vivek49erFan]

Lol I Take That Back That Was Awesome

[Hobbes2d]

Nice defense on that one for the Browns... NOT!

Crennel is known for defense too. :falldownlaugh:

[Hobbes2d]

Josh Cribbs is awesome.

[Double_L]

Royal!

[djdino]

Good job Culter to Royal!

[Optimus Moo]

Fumble to the Broncos lol.

[Montana_Magic]

3rd pass that should have been intercepted. Cutler has to cut down on those passes if he ever wants to be anything but an average QB.

[djdino]

Cutler is racking up some good points for me on my FF team. :)

[Vivek49erFan]

Cleveland Meltdown pt.2?

[Vivek49erFan]

3rd pass that should have been intercepted. Cutler has to cut down on those passes if he ever wants to be anything but an average QB.

Brett Favre throws passes like that, I doubt anyone calls him average.

[Wisconsin9erfan]

Glad I started Eddie Royal.

[Mace Windu]

Wow:slap:

[Optimus Moo]

In WiscoN9ner's "WiscoCali" league, I have Cutler AND Royal going against rathman's team. I'm up 46-0 after that last Denver TD.

[Montana_Magic]

Cribbs is a hell of a player.

[Double_L]

3rd pass that should have been intercepted. Cutler has to cut down on those passes if he ever wants to be anything but an average QB.
Hah yeah this is intense. He's just lobbing them up and we've been having some great luck. Makes it tough being a Bronco fan, every throw has me on the verge of a heart attack.

Sweet stiff arm by Daniel Graham btw for the score!

[Fez]

3rd pass that should have been intercepted. Cutler has to cut down on those passes if he ever wants to be anything but an average QB.

No biggie. He was supposed to follow the footsteps of B. F. #4

[Optimus Moo]

My God the Denver defense is terrible.

You can say that again!

[Optimus Moo]

Shanahan wasted that challenge!

[Optimus Moo]

My God the Denver defense is terrible! :laugh:

[Hobbes2d]

Come on Cutler get the WIN!

[Double_L]

Lets see if Cutler has the cojones to pull this one out... wait that didn't sound right.

[Hobbes2d]

Wow. McGinest just killed Nate Jackson. :(

[Optimus Moo]

If NFL network wants to broadcast games they really need to work on their camera angles....

But they are already broadcasting games.

[Optimus Moo]

Cutler nearly 450 yards passing with that TD strike!!!

[NyNinerFan]

boy i'd take a Cutler (Stafford) type of qb on my team anyday..

talk about a devastating loss for the Brownies if they don't pull this out

[conqueso34]

marshall was about to do a celebration w/ something, but looks like stokley stopped him

[Optimus Moo]

boy i'd take a Cutler (Stafford) type of qb on my team anyday..

Even with Quinn, the team STILL has issues, so was it really DA all along?

Granted, Quinn is probably the better chance to win, but still, he doesn't play defense, too.

[Got Five?]

WHAT was it...they briefly showed a replay...the announcers said nothing about it...to busy praising cutler.

[Optimus Moo]

... and the Browns blow the game.

[conqueso34]

they probably didnt see it, i didnt see what he was trying to pull out they cut too soon

[Vivek49erFan]

wow... what a choke game

[Optimus Moo]

Well the fans got Quinn. They still got a loss. Can't have your cake and eat it, too!

[djdino]

What a monster game for Cutler, 447yrds, 3 TDs, INT and 31yrds rushing.

[Montana_Magic]

Great job K2.

[Vivek49erFan]

Hahahahahaha Browns Fail

[NyNinerFan]

Stafford is nothing like Cutler....:slap:

yeah.. as a college qb, Stafford's been better.. ;)

[Hobbes2d]

DA wasn't the problem. He's played better of late anyway. Their defense has been non-existent for a few years now. And their other offensive weapons haven't been so good, the Oline (which was a big strength last year) has been a problem too.

[Vivek49erFan]

That's pretty piss poor play calling. You have 2 timeouts and only 1 yard to go and you don't try to run it up the gut with Jamal at least once to give yourself a new set of downs? Browns deserved that loss.

Browns fans will be calling for Romeos head soon

[Hobbes2d]

What a great 2 minute drive Brady. :laugh:

[Hobbes2d]

GAME OVER! :falldownlaugh:

[Double_L]

Wooooooooooo in your face Brady Quinn!

[NyNinerFan]

They're trying to show Brady is the guy, CLEARLY he is not. :laugh:

well i wouldn't say CLEARLY he's not..
he made a ton of plays out there, and showed some great pocket awareness all game long.. the dropped passes are still continuing to happen.. and each of them in this game were not a result of his fault at all...


to be fair, the 3rd and 1 pass was totally on him though

[NyNinerFan]

Browns fans will be calling for Romeos head soon

you're a little late on that one.. :laugh:

[Hobbes2d]

Winslow is having the VD....

Braylon is even worse in that department.

[650Niners]

Anderson is happy I bet.
Wow.

[Hobbes2d]

[sandiegojoe]

brandon marshal was interviewed afterwards and said he had a black and white glove he was gonna hold up as a symbol of unity between blacks and whites since he was so inspired by Obama.

Lol, that would have been a real dumb time to get a 15 yarder.

He said stokley said "no no, the games too close!"

[Zhero06]

Quinn wasn't the prob...Winslow was...

Quinn wasn't the problem? I recall Winslow saving his (Quinn) *** with a few pretty good catches. Did you see the multiple terrible throws that Quinn made even though they were dink and dunk passes? Completely missing receivers. He's just lucky he was playing an injured Broncos defense that is one of the worst in the league even with their starters in.

Once again white people push black people down. Darn you Stokley.

Yes, and I also remember Winslow II's fumble that pretty much cost them the game.

Quinn and Winslow both had their share of mistakes in that game, he missed some throws, but Winslow II choked big in the last few minutes.

I think Quinn is a *****, but he had a VERY good performance considering it was his 1st career start... regardless of being against an injured/crappy Bronco's D, it's still an NFL-caliber defense, and there are still starting QB's who wouldn't have been able to do what he did.
