It's Browns Week

Why does anyone really care what Ben Fennell thinks?

Because Ben is right.

Even a broken clock

This is an interesting post, why should we attend to it?  

Ben Fennel is an outstanding football writer....

It is a free world, you don't have to reply to it. Just an honest question. Been seeing a lot of Ben Fennell references lately. Maybe people just like that he has the initials BF?

Nice to see Kendricks block on that play, although he could have stayed with it a little longer downfield.

Of all the guys out there who talk/write about football for a living, Fennell is one of the best at breaking down film. But he is far from perfect.

Oh, and he's not wrong about the read-option with Hundley, but I think even guys like Rodney and Nagler could see that.

Who hasn't been calling for the read option since his first start?

Every single time I hear "Cleveland Browns", I always recall the NFL Championship game following the '65 season. St. Vince's first Championship, and the beginning of the greatest dynasty.
Dominating them on both sides of the ball, and shutting down the "great" Jim Brown.... man, those were the days!

It's sad to think that today's Browns have no real connection to those teams of the '60's, and have become what they have become.

I've looked at this game as being the one that may largely determine MM's future with the club. He has been digging his own grave since ARod's injury, and a loss here could put him in it much faster than expected.
There's not a single reason why the Pack shouldn't dominate and win this game going away. Even if Callahan had to play, for whatever reason, I'd still expect them to win.
That being said, I have no idea which Hundley will play or how this game may unfold. And that's a scary thought.....

Hundley is much better with his legs than his arm and the read-option makes perfect sense.

Which Hundley?  How many are there?

This year, the browns are losing by an average of 10.3 points. Hopefully we will keep up that average...or better it.

Much like winning Super Bowls going 0 and 16 is hard.....

I still think we're in danger of being the Browns only W.

I'm terribly nervous about this game.......and I still don't want Aaron to come back.....to prove what???  Just call it a year and be done with it.  Now where's my voodoo doll of the queens.

Vince's first?

Lombardi was the coach in '61 & '62 I believe.

it really is kind of sad for what the Browns have become in the last 20 years or whatever it has been since they have been back.  The amount of ineptitude is insane.  They have had I think ONE playoff appearance since they have been back, I think they have lost 18 or 19 opening games in a row, have started 556 different Qb's, and have not won on a Sunday since Manziel was a starter.

But all of this makes me happy and warms my heart.  All of my ex wives family are die hard Browns fans and I hope their misery continues.  May sound petty but nope I don't care.

All kidding aside like DH13 I am VERY worried about this one and I immediately became worried when #12 went down.
