Browns @ Bills Game Day Thread

[shelby]

:gobills:

Browns ready to make visit to Buffalo

The storyline
Two teams that pretty much maximize their limited talent look to keep stacking victories (moral and in the standings).
Why you should watch
Who would have thought guys like Colt McCoy (http://www.nfl.com/players/coltmccoy/profile?id=MCC603149), Peyton Hillis (http://www.nfl.com/players/peytonhillis/profile?id=HIL734134), Ryan Fitzpatrick (http://www.nfl.com/players/ryanfitzpatrick/profile?id=FIT792915) and Stevie Johnson would be standouts in the AFC this season (even if in some cases in a limited window)? Shaun Rogers (http://www.nfl.com/players/shaunrogers/profile?id=ROG535048) could be a load for the Bills' interior offensive line, if he is healthy.
Did you know?
Browns tight end Benjamin Watson (http://www.nfl.com/players/benjaminwatson/profile?id=WAT311042) had a career-high 10 receptions last week. ... Cleveland's Joe Haden (http://www.nfl.com/players/joehaden/profile?id=HAD357325) has an interception in four consecutive games. ... Fitzpatrick is one of only five quarterbacks in Bills history to throw for at least 20 touchdowns. ... Buffalo's Paul Posluszny (http://www.nfl.com/players/paulposluszny/profile?id=POS250036) leads the team with 111 tackles.

[Dujek]

:gobills:

I'm hoping for a win, but with the guys we have playing LB now I reckon Hillis is going to kill us.

[Dr. Lecter]

Current weather rain. About 35 degrees. No breeze.

Chicken wing soup was good. So is the beer.


Go bills!!!

[ZAZusmc03]

Parking now, commence drinking and tailgating.

[YardRat]

:gobills:

Could be another ugly one.

[seanbillsfan]

:gobills:

Could be another ugly one.
It's gonna be real ugly. Hilis is gonna have 200 yds in the 1st half

[Buffalo Thriller]

lmao, i see a close loss 14-17

[Figster]

:gobills:

Could be another ugly one.



The battle of the ugly...

[BertSquirtgum]

does this link work for anyone else? or will it not work until the game starts?

[TacklingDummy]

Barn burner.

[Dujek]

So, over/under 21 points total?

[djjimkelly]

this game is so intriguing lol

[Dujek]

I think there are more empty seats than people.

[shelby]

wow can we stop the run?

[djjimkelly]

hillis for 200 today

[Scumbag College]

If the Browns throw the ball over 10 times today Mangini should be fired.

[justasportsfan]

POz is getting swallowed up by blockers

[shelby]

this is ugly.

[YardRat]

Big stop by Ayodele and Whitner.

[X-Era]

Whitner with a huge goaline hit. He deserves to be resigned.

[YardRat]

I'll take a FG after the KO return and Hillis carving us up.

[shelby]

surprised we held them to a FG

[Scumbag College]

Big goal line stand. Kind of a shocker.

Bengals up 7-0!

[Ingtar33]

Hillis looks like he's going to set a single game rushing record today.

[djjimkelly]

the announcer just said ryan fitzpatrick is the bills best player

that comment made me throw up in my mouth

[Slim]

Good push by the line so far.

[YardRat]

Dammit.

Here comes Hillis.

[djjimkelly]

go ryan fitzpatrick lol

[X-Era]

Count how long he had to throw... over 3 seconds

[shelby]

sometimes i wonder why i watch.

[Slim]

Fitz needs to feel that coming.

[X-Era]

Damn... ugly game

[shelby]

and there ya go.

[Slim]

Odd play.

[Scumbag College]

Fitz needs to get rid of that ball.

[Ingtar33]

good ol' fitzy... ugh... and Luck probably isn't coming out which means one less top QB...

[shelby]

thank you Hillis~

[Mr. Pink]

This is one exciting game so far.

Or something.

[Scumbag College]

Kyle Williams with a stiff arm on the fumble return!

[Figster]

Can we say UGLY

[G Wolly]

:lolpoint: Hillis

[NOT THE DUDE...]

alright ryan, time to recover!

[Ingtar33]

I think ugly is pretty much guaranteed when these two teams play.

[Slim]

nice play.

[djjimkelly]

they actually playing spiller today

[shelby]

that's more like it

[Novacane]

Nice pass Fitz

[Whysoserious?]

gotta go for it

[X-Era]

Stupid play call.

[shelby]

i'd like to see them go for it

[Whysoserious?]

2nd and 2... we should have run.... twice

[shelby]

fugly

[Mr. Pink]

Back to back poor play calls.

[Cleve]

looks like its gonna be another looooong day. LOL

[YardRat]

Dumbass Spiller....He's got to get that on the bounce and save 10 yards.

[Novacane]

Looks like the half the stadium is empty

[Ingtar33]

Cleveland vs Buffalo... setting pro football back 100 years since 2008

[Figster]

Going on 40 starts Fitzpatrick has thrown 38 INTs (should be higher) and put the ball on the carpet 23 times

[YardRat]

Nice window for Fitz to throw in there.

[Bangarang]

Newton would have taken that to the house.

AMIRITE?!

[Dujek]

I'm thinking this will finish 6-3. Not sure what way though.

[Ingtar33]

Newton would have taken that to the house.

AMIRITE?!

no


I'm thinking this will finish 6-3. Not sure what way though.

depends. if the browns keep throwing and abandoning the run, then yes.

[Whysoserious?]

I'm thinking this will finish 6-3. Not sure what way though.

No it won't.

I'd bet 500 dollars on it.

[Cleve]

Astonishingly, I'm in Liverpool NY today, and the game is blacked out in Syracuse, so I'm sitting in a sports bar watching on ATDHE.net.

Does the NFL really expect someone is going to drive 180 miles to watch a Bills-Browns game?

[Mr. Pink]

Both teams will score at least 1 TD in this game.

[X-Era]

I'm thinking I made a nice pick starting Freddy today

[Whysoserious?]

deep ball coming up?

[Slim]

Great block by Mac.

[Slim]

C'mon Bills, lets get a touchdown here.

[helmetguy]

Nice grab!

[X-Era]

What a catch by Nelson.

Great job by us with our late rounders or UDFA pickups.

[Slim]

Nelson baby!

[Whysoserious?]

told you it wouldn't be 6-3.

You owe me 500 dollars.

[Mr. Pink]

Very nice TD catch by Nelson

[Novacane]

Great catch!

[IAG]

Fitz gets it done.

[Dujek]

Great drive, capped with a good throw and great catch.

[wmoz11]

Great catch and throw in that weather. Beauty.

[Figster]

Good hands Nelson!

[Bangarang]

Spiller with 4 carries. That's his quota for the game so he'll be on the sideline for the remainder of the game.

[YardRat]

Looks like Fitz is throwing everything a little high today.

Nice catch for the TD.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

that throw was top 10 caliber!

[NOT THE DUDE...]

if we give fitz just a a little bit better production from our oline, and obviously fix the d then we can be competitive next year... but it will be tough to pass on issac newton!

[Slim]

Spiller with 4 carries. That's his quota for the game so he'll be on the sideline for the remainder of the game.

He's looked good so far, the o-line is playing great on the ground game. He just needs to learn how to fall forward.

[YardRat]

Damn, that was close to a Bill's recovery.

[G Wolly]

Damn, that was close to a Bill's recovery.

Who's Bill?

[Cleve]

if we give fitz just a a little bit better production from our oline, and obviously fix the d then we can be competitive next year... but it will be tough to pass on issac newton!

Our backup QB looked good on one throw against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Like Edwards, Fitzpatrick is no quarterback of the future.

[Mr. Pink]

I didn't know Delhomme could throw the ball that far anymore.

[X-Era]

Ayodele isn't playing well. He doesn't seem to hit as much as you would like or wrap.

[Novacane]

Byrd sucks!

[X-Era]

We have real problems shedding blocks.

[Whysoserious?]

big defensive stand

[YardRat]

Dodged another bullet.

Let's put another 7 on the board for the good guys now.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

Our backup QB looked good on one throw against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Like Edwards, Fitzpatrick is no quarterback of the future.

dude he has 21tds.................

[Mr. Pink]

Caught a break there by being close to the sideline.

What happened to the Spiller who never fumbled in college?

[Whysoserious?]

dude he has 21tds.................YA BUT HE SUCKS!!!!:ignore:

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Yeah, seems like Spiller has fumbled more times then he kept the ball on returns.

[Slim]

Stup!

[Whysoserious?]

I wish our sh****y QB would stop completing passes....

[Slim]

High octane offense baby!

[Bangarang]

Fitz is constantly staring down his receiver.

[Whysoserious?]

and scrambling for 1st downs

[YardRat]

lol...Nice shot by Fitz at the end of that run.

[shelby]

Evans hurt?

[BertSquirtgum]

my urine is high octane from mountain dew

[Ingtar33]

btw: if Troy Polamalu doesn't win def player of the year this year there is no justice. he's playing unbelievable.

[Slim]

It looked like he got it off to me.

[Cntrygal]

Do I want to know the score? (I ditched the game in favor of writing a paper, so I can hit the slopes tomorrow).

[Mr. Pink]

Wow.

What a dumb penalty to take there.

[Ingtar33]

Do I want to know the score? (I ditched the game in favor of writing a paper, so I can hit the slopes tomorrow).

7-6 buffalo


Wow.

What a dumb penalty to take there.
yeah... delay of game out of a timeout? unforgivable.

[shelby]

what a stupid penalty.

[shelby]

thank you fancy I

[Whysoserious?]

10-6 halftime getting ball back. not bad

[Mr. Pink]

7-6 buffalo


yeah... delay of game out of a timeout? unforgivable.


The delay cost them any chance of a TD there.

[Slim]

How do we get a low block?

[Dujek]

Well, the drive fizzled out, but a 10-6 lead and the ball to start the second half is fair enough.

[Mr. Pink]

Jake Delhomme is the king of the wounded duck!

[kingJofNYC]

Donald Jones getting on the field late killed us, poor communication. Not sure if he realizes that Evans is on the sidelines.

[Ingtar33]

Don Trippy is horrible.

Delhomme throws a last second hail mary that reaches the endzone and has his wrs around it... and he calls it a "poorly thrown ball... a dangerous one" does he even know what a hail mary is?

[Mr. Pink]

Don Trippy is horrible.

Delhomme throws a last second hail mary that reaches the endzone and has his wrs around it... and he calls it a "poorly thrown ball... a dangerous one" does he even know what a hail mary is?


Criqui has been horrible for the better part of 3 decades now.

It was a wounded duck though.

[Slim]

More Spiller in the second half please.

[Ingtar33]

More Spiller in the second half please.

no thank you. he has a serious fumbling problem... it seems like he's put the ball on the carpet every game this year; he's already fumbled it once today... no thank you

[sqad5]

no thank you. he has a serious fumbling problem... it seems like he's put the ball on the carpet every game this year; he's already fumbled it once today... no thank you Yes more Spiller please

[YardRat]

Meh...3 is better than nothing I guess.

Nice TOP in the first half for our O, and we get the ball to start the second.

Going up by 11 early here would be huge.

[Slim]

Delhomme VS Fitz, whose interception will be more costly.

[YardRat]

Evans not back on the field to start the half.

[shelby]

this game is winnable

[X-Era]

this game is winnableand loseable :couch:

[Slim]

With as much as the Browns are blitzing, a RB screen wouldn't be a bad idea.

[Ingtar33]

Wood has looked good at Center today.

[Novacane]

Moorman :down:

[YardRat]

Moorman is sucking this year.

[Slim]

Kelsay almost had Delhomme.

[Slim]

Delhomme is terrible.

[MikeInRoch]

Evans out for the game - Ankle.

[YardRat]

Jesus....good thing I can watch this online because the crowd is certainly doing a ****ty job of giving any indication as to what's going on. Sounds like they're booing every time the Bills touch the ball or make a play.

[ZacGriffi~82]

Holy crap did POZ get manhandled on the 2nd down play.

[YardRat]

Hey? When did we get TE's on this team?

[YardRat]

Goddammit. We need to put another TD on the board before Cleveland scores again.

[Slim]

Fitz needed to look Jackson off. Telegraphed that play.

[YardRat]

Attaboy Brian.

Time for a turnover that gives us the ball deep in Brown's territory.

[Slim]

Attaboy Brian.

Time for a turnover that gives us the ball deep in Brown's territory.

Delhomme and Fitz are both due. I think Byrd get his first pick of the year this game.

[Slim]

Fumble, I think Hillis was down though.

[Slim]

Byrd is doing a good job forcing fumbles.

[X-Era]

And the penalty machine, Florence strikes again.

[YardRat]

****. There's Florence obligatory killer ****-up for the week.

This is going to hurt.

[Mr. Pink]

Byrd forced a fumble!

[Slim]

Flo didn't do anything. The WR pushed him.

[YardRat]

Attaboy Brian.

Time for a turnover that gives us the ball deep in Brown's territory.

Shoot...that's two close calls.

[shelby]

nice sack....

[wmoz11]

That should have been a penalty on George Wilson for planting the QB. I hate seeing that.

[Slim]

Recover the ****ing ball!

[Mr. Pink]

Hillis has a fumbling problem today.

[YardRat]

Shoot...that's two close calls.

JESUS CHRIST JUMP ON THE BALL !!!!!!!!!

[Slim]

WHAT THE **** RECOVER THE BALL!!!@#@JIRI@RN

[Mr. Pink]

Apparently the entire Browns team has a fumbling problem today.

[Slim]

Pick or sack here.

[Slim]

Byrd is playing a good game today.

[Slim]

Spiller is ridiculously fast.

[wmoz11]

Byrd has been better since the Steelers game. Glad to see him playing the run well lately, too.

[X-Era]

Love Fitz's beard, check out my new sig

[Slim]

Love Fitz's beard, check out my new sig

Nice.

[Slim]

Why blow the play dead? Why?

[psubills62]

That is absolute bullcrap. They let the Fitzpatrick play last week play out but not that one? Absolutely horrible refereeing lately. Horrible

[X-Era]

Nice.That's one snarled, burly sum *****

[Mr. Pink]

That's a fumble.

[wmoz11]

That's a hell of a pass rush by Moats, regardless of this being a fumble or not.

[Slim]

That's a fumble.

Should have been a ****ing touchdown too.

[psubills62]

I hate the refs. So freaking inconsistent. Is it really that difficult to let that play out and then discuss it afterwards? Isn't that what they're trained to do?

[ZacGriffi~82]

jobbed again. how does this happen on a weekly basis?

[mikemac2001]

That's a fumble.


can't believe that call...you don't blow the whistle you let the play go on

[X-Era]

Moats is already better than Maybin.

[Slim]

Beat Joe Thomas.

[Mr. Pink]

Moats is already better than Maybin.


A stiff breeze is better than Maybin.

[wmoz11]

That's bull ****. Should be a TD for us. What a joke.

[Mr. Pink]

Got screwed out of a TD though.

[Mr. Pink]

Got screwed out of a TD though.


A TD that likely puts this game away.

Cleveland isn't a team that's gonna put up 2 quick TDs.

[Slim]

Jackson just needs to take that inside, he's so slow.

[psubills62]

A TD that likely puts this game away.

Cleveland isn't a team that's gonna put up 2 quick TDs.

If we can score a TD here (unlikely, but possible), it might turn out better by running more time off the clock. Still doesn't make me very happy about these refs though.

[Dujek]

Never, ever cross the Moats.

[mikemac2001]

If we can score a TD here (unlikely, but possible), it might turn out better by running more time off the clock. Still doesn't make me very happy about these refs though.


Whats the line for the game?

just curious because refs are shady

[Mr. Pink]

At this rate, we'll get to see another Overtime game!

YaY!

[Slim]

I like the call. Fitz took a blow though.

[Mr. Pink]

Whats the line for the game?

just curious because refs are shady


Bills -1

[psubills62]

Good play call there.

[X-Era]

Bowens is laid the **** out

[Slim]

Qb sneak, go for it!

[Mr. Pink]

Definitely should go for this one.

End the game with a TD.

[Bangarang]

I think he's dead...

[Slim]

Is it just me or does is seem like a lot of people have been hurt this year trying to tackle Freddy? This has to at least be the fourth or fifth.

[Bangarang]

Let Spiller get his 1st NFL rushing TD please

[X-Era]

I think he's dead...Or perfectly fine.

[shelby]

leg to the head....ouch

[YardRat]

Booooooooo!!!!!!

Should've went five wide and snuck Fitz up the middle.

[Slim]

Field goal. Weak.

[wmoz11]

You definitely go for it here. Make them go 99.9 yards if you don't get it. For my fantasy team's sake, I hope they don't run it with Freddy.

EDIT: My stream is too far behind. Boo FG.

[Mr. Pink]

And in typical Bills fashion, playing not to lose is more important than trying to put the nail in the coffin.

[psubills62]

You definitely go for it here. Make them go 99.9 yards if you don't get it. For my fantasy team's sake, I hope they don't run it with Freddy :P

There was also plenty of time to get a FG if the Browns happened to get a TD.

[Ingtar33]

And in typical Bills fashion, playing not to lose is more important than trying to put the nail in the coffin.

agreed... typically gutless call by our gutless coach

[Bangarang]

inb4thebrownsfumble

[Slim]

Just have a feeling Delhomme is gonna throw a pick. He's due.

[Slim]

Robert Royal, is playing like Robert Royal.

[X-Era]

Freddy, Freddy, and more Freddy... Spill in a bit or Spiller.

[shelby]

very disappointed in settling for a FG.

[Slim]

Fred gets laid out and drops the ball.

[Slim]

Corto damnit. That was a huge punt.

[shelby]

Corto blows chunks.

[YardRat]

C'mon Delhomme...throw a pick

[Bangarang]

I like the fact that Chan is pounding the ball but can he give Spiller more carries? Freddie is having a pretty disappointing day on the ground. Good opportunity to see what Spiller can do with more carries and maybe give him some more confidence.

[Mr. Pink]

That penalty on Corto changed about 20 yards of field position.

[YardRat]

C'mon Delhomme...throw a pick

Thank you very much.

[Slim]

Thats a fumble.

[Ingtar33]

I like the fact that Chan is pounding the ball but can he give Spiller more carries? Freddie is having a pretty disappointing day on the ground. Good opportunity to see what Spiller can do with more carries and maybe give him some more confidence.

good chance for him to fumble the game away too... frankly i can't blame Chan for not playing Spiller. We're winning and nursing a lead. I'd not risk it with spiller's fumbling issues.

[EDS]

Bills look like they are trying to win. Not sure why.

[mikemac2001]

whoever said delhomme was due

Awesome

[Slim]

whoever said delhomme was due

Awesome

Me.

[Whysoserious?]

Keep pounding it

[Bangarang]

good chance for him to fumble the game away too... frankly i can't blame Chan for not playing Spiller. We're winning and nursing a lead. I'd not risk it with spiller's fumbling issues.

Good chance for Spiller to break one and score. See I can play that game too.

[Slim]

I'd like to see Freddy get his 100 yards. He only needs thirteen more.

[Whysoserious?]

ball game :)

[mikemac2001]

id rather root for bills then root for a draft pick.....Go bills!

[Dujek]

Beautiful run by Fred Jackson. Even if the Bills can't run the clock out here they should be able to add another 3 to put this away.

[Whysoserious?]

I want another TD

[Bangarang]

good chance for him to fumble the game away too... frankly i can't blame Chan for not playing Spiller. We're winning and nursing a lead. I'd not risk it with spiller's fumbling issues.

And btw, Jackson has more fumbles than Spiller this season.

[Mr. Pink]

I'd like to see Freddy get his 100 yards. He only needs thirteen more.


My fantasy team could use that too!

[Slim]

My fantasy team could use that too!

I'm actually playing against Fred this week, but I've already clinched a playoff spot so this week is pretty irrelevant.

[YardRat]

The o-line and Freddie are taking over to end the game. Nice.

[Slim]

Freddy is the man.

[Whysoserious?]

99 yards :)

[Mr. Pink]

I'm actually playing against Fred this week, but I've already clinched a playoff spot so this week is pretty irrelevant.


My playoffs started this week.

[Whysoserious?]

101 yards. CELEBRATE

[Whysoserious?]

really good to see us run for almost 200 yards

[TacklingDummy]

Another meaningless meaningful win.

Let's really screw up the draft position.

[Slim]

Another meaningless meaningful win.

Let's really screw up the draft position.

Is this sarcasm?

[YardRat]

I wouldn't kick the FG...run the ball again.

[Whysoserious?]

Another meaningless meaningful win.

Let's really screw up the draft position.
who gives a ****?

4th, 6th, whatever. It is a big crapshoot anyway. This might force us to focus on a LB anyway, which is good.

[Whysoserious?]

and your sig says to get rid of Whitner. That is dumb as hell.

[Slim]

I'd go for it here.

[Whysoserious?]

NICE WIN

[Ingtar33]

And btw, Jackson has more fumbles than Spiller this season.

4 fumbles vs 3 fumbles...

177 touches vs 73 touches

2.2% of the time Jackson touched the ball this year he fumbled
4.1% of the time CJ Spiller touched the ball this year he fumbled

but lets not let pesky facts get in the way of this...

both are inexcusably butterfingered; Spiller, however is twice as likely to lose the ball.

[Slim]

YAY for winz!

[Whysoserious?]

4 fumbles vs 3 fumbles...

177 touches vs 73 touches

2.2% of the time Jackson touched the ball this year he fumbled
4.1% of the time CJ Spiller touched the ball this year he fumbled

but lets not let pesky facts get in the way of this...

both are inexcusably butterfingered; Spiller, however is twice as likely to lose the ball.That's using the ole noodle. :cheers:

[Ingtar33]

gratz buffalo! we win! yay!

[mikemac2001]

Good D today barely 100 for hillis and we dominate delhomme yet again

[Dujek]

WOO-HOO!

**** the draft, winning is what it's all about.

[justasportsfan]

And in typical Bills fashion, playing not to lose is more important than trying to put the nail in the coffin.
agreed... typically gutless call by our gutless coach

Oooooopps! Bills go for it and win the game. Guttless?


***** all you want. We beat the browns. Something DICK couldn't do.

[Figster]

Fred Jackson deserves a game ball

[shelby]

Ugly, but a win is a win is a win~

:gobills:

[Whysoserious?]

Oooooopps! Bills go for it and win the game. Guttless?


***** all you want. We beat the browns. Something DICK couldn't do.And this Browns team is miles better than the team we lost to with DICK
