I've always kinda liked the Browns.  Not today of course, but in general, I like 'em.
Fans have been great back in the day they packed old Municipal Stadium in and around 70-85,000. of course there use to be a healthy middle class and it didn't cost an 🦾  & a 🦿 to attend a contest

It's a good thing that they ran off Flacco, so that tWatson wouldn't be looking over his shoulder.

I was going to duplicate Badge's post and use Baker and watson until i saw your post.. At least the Bears didn't trade away 3 first and 2 second round picks for their change in QB.. The second dumbest trade in NFL history.

Used to be great. Gritty middle class having their moment away from the grind. Can't say I love most of the culture and crowd down there now. People talk so highly about the Muni lot tailgating. My view of that crowd is the opposite of what was once good.

Sadly I think this is true across the board for NFL teams.  My first Cowboys games in the 80s and 90s, were a very different experience than the last one I went to in the 2010s.  It's a much rougher crowd these days.

Growing up going to UM games, I had been to probably 60+ before my first Lions game.  It was quite the eye opener

Sounds like the season is already over for the Giants after getting blown at home 28-6 to the Vikings to open the season. Daniel Jones lays another egg, throwing 22/42 & 2 INTs for a rating of 44.3. To make it worse, Sam Darnold, who was run out of the same stadium after flaming out with the Jets, lit up the Giants, completing his first 10 passes and throwing 19/24 for a passer rating of 113.2.

NY Post-
“Disappointing game,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said. “Lots to clear up. We’ll make corrections and be better.”

That sounds like a wonderful plan, until you realize exactly what happened, and by that we should start with this, presented in italics and capital letters lest you think it’s a practical joke: THEY WERE FILLETED AND TAKEN TO SCHOOL BY SAM DARNOLD."


I'm convinced the Giants already planned to tank the season. Once they let Saquon Barkley flee to a division rival (Eagles) and didn't do anything with free agency, my guess is they are setting up Daniel Jones to fail in order to move on from him and the regrettable $160M contract they signed him to.

Only one week into the regular season and the plan is working well. In the meantime, enjoy these frantic headlines:

Caleb was lucky his defense was playing Will Levis who sucks- and who threw an INT with the lead late in the 4th QTR that the Bears returned for a TD to win the game.

the GOAT Bill Belichik called it on Caleb Williams- he said let's not anoint the kid yet he completed 50% of his passes in the pre-season.

Lions looked pretty damn good last night. That OL and run game, elite. Jamo looked the part and made huge plays. And the defense looks much improved, especially that secondary.

The Rams held Amon Ra and Gibbs in check (which sucked for my fantasy team), so Jamo and Montgomery just took over.  Montgomery was that dude last year, but if Jamo can finally live up to all of the talent he oozes, that is massive.
