I felt strongly that we were going to get beat up today.

It had all the elements for a beat down.

So, my expectations before the game were very low. I don't fault Shedeur. In fact I expected what I saw.

One pic was bad. Two were excellent defensive plays. Shedeur is getting experience that he needs.

He made some good plays. There are things to build on.

The Browns were no match for the Bears. We have horrible wide receivers. We can't block.

Again we got run on. Field position was terrible. There are no excuses for how bad ST have been all year.

The Bills are going to run over us. Another beating.

The Bengals and Steelers we have a chance against but we will be underdogs.

Six seasons. What’s the excuse 2026?

I could literally see gears turning in Sanders head today. It hurt to watch at times. He didn't show any improvement in getting rid of the ball faster at all. Instead, I saw him freeze up and panic at times. It's a shame because if he keeps playing like this the Browns will end up drafting his replacement.

I don't know but how many coaches could deal with having so little talent on the team. There is not a single 1st round pick on the Browns offense. I don't know how you would expect to see anything else.

This year is proof that sacks is the most over rated stat in football.
The media glorifes it and over blows " sacks "
Show me how many past SB teams also had the leagues sack leader
Very very rare .
Myles is having a great year sacks wise . But sacks don't equate
To wins .

How many organizations would keep a head coach with 25 losses in less than 2 seasons? He’s on track of losing 3 more, 28 in total.

Think about it. With Stefanski at the wheel the Browns statistically are on track of losing almost 80% of all games in 2 consecutive seasons. If I’m honest that’s an amazing accomplishment. Almost unrealistic. Even if a blind monkey was calling the play I think the Browns would get a few more wins. I mean what could be worse than what we see atm?

That’s the level that some are trying to defend.

‘We have to do better”

Watching the game, they posted a stat midway through the game.

Beart's pressure rate
On the season: 29%
Today 60%

OL. Truth is it’s very hard to get a read on anything else as long as the OL is comically bad. Lots of needs but that is truly the biggest stop-the-bleeding issue.

Who do you think the Browns next HC should be?

What is the Browns biggest need?

Good for you. It would be a lot worse if you kept it up. You definitely pushed the envelope though. Most people, after that span, would just throw in the towel and say "It is what it is". Good job.

There are weird triggers that get me. Walking into a store the other day I saw a guy pause to take those last two deep drags before he put out his cigarette. Got me for a second, nearly felt it in my lungs. Early on, something like that would kick my butt for a few minutes, now it's just a fleeting impulse.

this cracked me up.

I smoked 15 cigs a day (and more) for 60+ years and quit for good on Aug 2, 2020. Not cold turkey, but by cutting back to 7 smokes a day. One night, I had only 1 cig left in the pack and I said to myself that's one for the morning and you're done. It worked but even after all this time, the urge is still there at times. It's not a nicotine addiction, but rather the enjoyable pleasure you get from it that I occasionally miss. Full disclosure: I was diagnosed several years ago (after I quit) with COPD and although it doesn't bother me much throughout the day, I really feel a shortness of breath upon any physical activity. On the whole - quite livable.

That's a clear sign that you need to be drinking more!

For sure. When it all comes down though, I think we'll see that the feds and big pharma shot themselves in the foot on this one. The endless fight and refusal to change Sched 1 designation led to states doing their own thing. Now they can't put the genie back in the bottle and maintain control.


We've also been circumventing federal control even at a federal level... The VA recently advanced policies allowing doctors to discuss and recommend medical marijuana for veterans in states where it's legal.

Amendments to the Veterans Equal Access Act was in the House-approved VA budget bill for fiscal 2026. VA docs can now provide recommendations and assist with state paperwork without risking veterans' benefits.

My fear when this whole shebang started was that the VA would be the instrument for the Feds to say "yeah, this is a good idea, but we need to let Big Pharma handle this so we can ensure safety". Still is, a little bit, but I think the Genie is too big now. When DeWine tried to make changes to the citizen-led passage of Issue 2, rumors are that he got more calls and emails in 24 hours than any other... ever. He simply said never mind the next morning with a short, sweet "the people have spoken".


I think there is too much fight left in the people who have been fighting for decades, and too many Americans recently taking up arms to make sure we don't let the feds and big pharma screw us on this one.


It's a bright future. We're already dissecting the MJ plant further into terpenes and smaller cannabinoids... sterols and triterpenoids. We're finding healing properties in the entire plant: roots, pre-flowing leaves. It's truly the "miracle drug" many always suspected it may be. But yeah, your entirely correct, it's a travesty our government held it up so long, and the collusion with pharma was to actually prevent research. Sad but true.

Love hearing about how Fate took control.

Spit in the eye of the demon.

Thanks to all on my near escape. It sure took me by surprise. I had a complete physical 3 months before the heart attack. I also had a plaque scan on my arteries. They said maybe over the next ten years I might have an episode. Bam. Three months later I am in the emergency room. What a wake up call.

No such thing as a normal life. There is just life and it can leave you at any time.

Romey nails it -- for most of us anyway.


Aaaand... Caitlin already being vilified for saying they need to play. The most common-sense approach to actually salvaging the "momentum" they've created.

Best part about Sander so far is his father has shut up

Ok this is a strange coincidence. I was having some gentle man jack last night ( good stuff ) and I looked up to see if it was a bourbon. I saw the exact explanation you posted last night then again this morning. strange

I hope he is correct and that actions are taken to correct this on the federal level. Imagine how far along we would be with cannabis research and ways to use this medicinally if it had been approved on the federal level? I still expect big pharma to fight it every step of the way.

I'll drink to that!

And pour another for Lampy! Here's to you, dawg. If there's anything you want to discuss with your family-away-from-family. Post it here -- we got your back.

Trump said yesterday those days are about over. Although this is definitely not the time or place to discuss it.

It is the time and place to point out that "large-cap" MJ stocks were up as much as 50% yesterday. Those will cool back down if something isn't announced immediately... and then EXPLODE when the EO comes down. /public service message

100% correct. Tennessee whiskey and Kentucky bourbon.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we're all happy you beat those 5% odds and are still with us here today.
