I wanted to replace him before he played one game, so all this "after one week?!?" does not refer to me lol.. My quote before the season was to the effect of "The one thing that scares me is our crappy punter Brad Robbins. Sure he has hang time but a 40 yard average is not going to cut it. When he kicked from the end zone the other teams will start in our territory. That's not acceptable. When punting from deep on our end the opposing team will be a first down and a few yards from a FG attempt.". Sure enough for the first half of the game Cleveland had awesome field position because of our crappy crappy punter. He sucks.. His college stats wouldn't have even put him in the top 10 in the NFL so if he's all about the hang time then he's pretty shitty.

He supposedly has hang time but his hang time puts him outside the top 10 in NFL, so hang time in an NFL stat he's not even top 10. Ariza.. We need to sign Ariza.. Never like Robbins from the start.

Sure enough in the first half Robbins kept giving the Browns good field position. I will say it again, I couldn't care less about his hangtime, because these 40 yard punts are going to come back and bite us. We should have signed Ariza, and I am dead serious about that. Robbins hang time compared to pros doesn't even put him in top 10 anyway so why keep the guy?

Browns games are always like this in Cleveland. We will be fine, but I still hate how crappy we played. It was like the team just didn't want to play in the rain. Oh well.. I" turned it off at half and glad I did. Came back to look if we were close and when I saw 24-3 I sighed then went back outside to work.

I am nervous too but no worries.. I think we can start the season 8-0... I picked us to go 15-2 and winning the SB this year.

I don't think we will be facing the Chiefs in the playoffs. I don't think they will make it to us. We don't need a bye week in the playoffs, and would rather not have one, but It's going to be us against the Bills, Raiders, or Jets.

No doubt!

The one thing that scares me is our crappy punter Brad Robbins. Sure he has hang time but a 40 yard average is not going to cut it. When he kicked from the end zone the other teams will start in our territory. That's not acceptable. When punting from deep on our end the opposing team will be a first down and a few yards from a FG attempt. We needed to sign Ariza when it was found out that that stupid lady was lying about him even being there (which he wasn't even there when she got raped). I was watching some interviews and he seems like a good kid even though someone tried (and possibly) to ruin his career, which is still up in the air.

We NEVER beat the 49ers.. Lost 4 out of last 5 against them.. I will be at this game though! I only ever got to go to Raiders, and 49ers games, and now with the Raiders gone this is my only chance to see the Bengals unless Sacramento gets a pro team. We are #20th in media market but only have the Sacramento Kings. We are the largest media markets that have less than two pro teams. But hey, I guess we are probably going to get an Major League Soccer team in the next few years. Soccer sucks.

11-6? You kidding me. We will win 11 games before the 14th week. When I get bored at work I draw with MS Paint lol..

Why didn't we steal Bailey Zappe from the Pats? Were we able to when they cut him? RIP Colt Brennan, but for the longest time I wanted us o claim him when Washington cut him. The guy had one of the best pre-seasons I have ever seen for a rookie.

Anyone doing a predictions thread this year? If I remember correctly I think we forgot to do it last year too.

Some people are floating Dalton.. What about Foles? Who knows..

Wonder if Jake Browning will get the start. The guy is from Sacramento (Folsom) and I have watched him since he was a freshman at Folsom High. He's a winner in every aspect at High School level, and was a winner in college too. I would LOVE to see him start if Burrow is out. Hopefully coaches see the same thing as I do.
