NFL Week 3 "Why wait for 2014, let's start over now, Cleveland!" Thread

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

-1? Man, that's not a lot of faith into the Giants.

Their play to date does not inspire much.

It inspires large amounts of vitriol from my wife.

Love the thread title.

That is all I have to contribute this week -  which is more than most weeks.

I'm betting the house on Captain Neckbeard to cover.

Baltimore didn't inspire real confidence in beating Cleveland 14-6, and inspired even less getting skullfucked by Denver 49-27 on opening night.  Of course, having to come back down a zillion points against San Diego and then having to take Tennessee into overtime to win doesn't inspire real confidence in Houston, either.

I'd take the SF side of that.  The Colts needed a ridculous play by Luck to beat the Raiders and lost to the Dolphins.  I'm not saying the 'Phins are a Phluke, but I don't like that loss by the Colts.  The Niners are back home and likey pissed off about Sunday night.

Brian Hartline makes me feel funny in my pants.

I like the Richardson trade from the Browns' side.  They weren't going anywhere with him, and now they have 10 picks next year; 7 of them in the first 4 rounds.  If they end up with 3-4 starters and a new QB out of that they definitely win and end up in a much better place than they would be had they kept Trent.

The question is, can the Browns not fuck up all of those picks.

History suggests that the answer is "no".

I cant appreciate that, but Houston's 1-6 all-time record against Baltimore including 0-3 in Mobtown doesn't inspire real confidence, either.

Heck, I don't think there's any team in the AFC that inspires confidence at this point.

The Texans beat them by 30 last year.

Broncos still look solid, despite being down a couple guys.

Is Andre Johnson playing?  If not, that could have an effect.

He practiced today, apparently.  Don't know if he's out or not though.

Heh, those KC Chiefs are right frisky tonight.

Somebody besides me thinks we're for real this season.

Miami's got a decent team, as long as the QB situation stays upright.  And it's about time Charles Clay has started paying off.
