3 minutes into the game, and Dennis Northcutt is already the man. 27-13 Browns is my prediction. (I posted this originally at 1:08pm, but Blogger has been a whore today.)<\/p>\n
1:05 Up and out of bed, and a little late out of the shower, but the Brownies are driving. I’m taking it as a good sign that the first play I saw out of the shower was a catch-and-go to Northcutt, with 15 more tacked on for a late hit. <\/p>\n
1:12 And the Browns keep driving, picking up 3rd down conversions along the way. 3rd and 1 now, I’m betting they don’t get it and try the FG. Its the Browns. Yep, Jackson stood up in the backfield, bring on Phil. Ugh. This is painfully horrible. Good job, Philly. 3-0 Brownies.<\/p>\n
1:22 Give up a first down, then get the tips for the INT. Earl Little! I don’t know how they were stacked 3 DBs deep in a straight line, but I’ll take it!<\/p>\n
1:23 Holcomb to Davis. Initial thought is Kelly could throw for 375 on this defense, I’ll officially predict 312 yards. And aside from that 3rd and 1, James Jackson continues to run well.<\/p>\n
1:50 Its points, but I hate getting inside the 20 and kicking the FG. Damn. 13-0, I’ll take it, but the defense needs to stay strong.<\/p>\n
1:27 Touchdown Browns! How well is Kelly throwing the ball!?!?! Unbelievable! Put this team away! How nice to see them using ALL receivers for a change. Maybe “The Fris” will even get a chance to be a part of it.<\/p>\n
1:38 End of 1st. 10-0 Browns. GREAT start!<\/p>\n
2:05 Who’s this Heinrich guy? Oh well, nice grab and go. NO FIELD GOALS THIS TIME, PLEASE!!!<\/p>\n
2:23 Halftime and its 20-3. Not bad, but couldn’t we just skip the halftime break and get right to the second half? Not just because the Browns are playing so well, but because there’s nothing else on TV!!! Though if they don’t get moving quick, this Man vs. Machine chess match on ESPN2 just might get my undivided attention. <\/p>\n
2:53 I lied about Anthony Henry last week. He just might be as bad as Chris Crocker. Horrible coverage on the deep ball. Good to see Courtney Brown decided to play this week. <\/p>\n
2:54 Another FG for the Cards. 20-6. Remember what I said about putting this damn team away? More important, another TD for each team, and remember what I said about a 27-13 final? <\/p>\n
3:04 Jackson sneaks in for the score! And Browns fans and fantasy owners rejoice together! That score is going to make his 30 yard rushing performance a little more tolerable, and a Browns win makes me not care an inch about fantasy football right now. <\/p>\n
3:21 Prediction be damned, now I want 50 and a TD for Frisman!<\/p>\n
3:27 Did I say 375 for Holcomb? I’m all about 450 now. At least until we see Hybl to Jackson in the 4th! Cincy is up on KC, that needs to change. A Browns win and a Bengals and Ravens loss, and we’re only a game out of the division lead. There is STILL light at the end of this long, strange tunnel!<\/p>\n
3:30 TOUCHDOWN BROWNS!!! James Jackson again, two scores, about 40 yards rushing. A solid day fantasy-wise, though he’s gonna have to pick it up to get my 500 yard over 4 games prediction. Screw it, I LOVE THIS!<\/p>\n
3:35 Jeff Blake out for the Cardinals. Some things never change. Welcome back to Cleveland, Jeff!<\/p>\n
3:37 Boyer with the pick! This is obviously the Browns day, hopefully its a sign of things to come. Funny though, but I haven’t heard Tim Couch’s name mentioned once.<\/p>\n
3:41 Damn. Bengals get the TD. Looks like KC is going to lose their first, but more importantly, the damn Bengals will stay a game up on Cleveland. I would love nothing more than the last game of the year between those two to be for the division. ‘Cause I’ll be there.<\/p>\n
3:45 Another FG. Unfortunately not able to punch it in, and no sign of Frisman Jackson yet.<\/p>\n
3:46 They just brought up Holcomb’s numbers. 375 yards passing. Of course, gut instincts trump “official” predictions. Check out the 1:23PM entry, please.<\/p>\n
3:58 Pick by the back-ups! I know they’re not going to go down and score, but wouldn’t that be fun?<\/p>\n
4:01 3 hours after the game starts, and its the first Tim Couch bench shot\/mention. The way it should be.<\/p>\n
4:04 Baltimore loses in OT, the Browns are only a game out. Keep this play up and the AFC North will be very very interesting! The Browns are going to show some mercy and take a knee inside the 20.<\/p>\n
4:05 It’s over. And it looks like Cincy is going to win…. which of course they do. Damn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
