The week made me laugh and cry at the same time. The only thing that's certain about the NFL is that everything's uncertain (except that the Browns will suck every week).

When the Cardinals win the Super Bowl I won't be surprised.


Too many problems with the browns offensive line and receivers. From what I've watched, Weeden is potentially one of the best quarter backs we've had in a while, but when you have receivers dropping open passes, like today, you're never gonna get a win.

Our running back is at least  getting a touch down a game. With that, I really thought they would walk out with their one and only victory before bye week this time around.

And yes they suck overall, I can't deny that.

How is Weeden?  I haven't seen him yet?  I'm guessing that he's better than Spergon Wynn was .

I remember when I was young and actually was a really big fan of Bernie Kosar (no joke).

Oh, and I find what's going on with the Saints to be hysterical.

It's very sad.

Exuding his first disastrous week, he's a lot better than the stats show. Good vision, strong arm, and accurate to a degree (tends to overthrow). Really, his receivers are killing him.

Bernie was always on the local radio as a guest doing football analysis and even half time shows until he filed bankruptcy a few years back (Though I still think he does some radio) He's really admired by us cleveland fans. Him and Jim Brown are viewed as loyalist to the team and fans.

Then you have the 'kardiac kids', from what I've read and watched, captivated the hearts of browns' fans and non fans for their last moment comebacks and dramatic and emotional outcomes. I wish I were around back then.

I know it's pitiful that we hold on to past accomplishments but it's all we have here in Cleveland.

Don't worry about living in the past.  People in Chicago still talk about '85 like it was yesterday.  :p

I loved Bernie Kosar because he had no physical talent whatsoever, but somehow pulled off great things.  The way that he threw the ball looked so ugly, but it almost always went exactly where he wanted it.  The man was known for NEVER being intercepted.  It's a shame that the Browns didn't make one of those Superbowls when they lost to the Broncos in such unbelievable fashion.  The time that Byner fumbled made me want to cry for the entire city of Cleveland and I'm not even from there.

I am old enough to barely remember a guy named Brian Sipe that had an unbelievable season that ended in heartbreak.  He wasn't heard from again.

49ers get upset by a crappy Vikings team, wow.

Cardinals 3-0, didn't expect that.

That Raiders - Steelers game was pretty sweet, although I would want both teams to lose (Seahawks fan).

Falcons look to be the team to beat in the NFC.

Peyton needs to play EVERY quarter like the 4th quarter.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

That kick was right above the upright, I hope Bellichek gets a nice fine for grabbing an official who does he think he is...

....and with that, I clinched a losing week.

that was by far, the worse officiated game I seen in years!!!



What kind of game was that!? What a way to end it, on a controversial kick. Hopefully the official that was below the upright got the right call.
