DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2023 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 14 Bengals 31 Injuries and inactives

I'll be the referee. Can't be any worse

Damn. Browns are calling in DawgTalkers off the couch.

Whatever it takes.

Treat this like preseason game #3. I would run some starters for the first series or two and rotate out if I'm worried about rust or any of them need to test themselves at game speed after minor injuries. That's just me, and I know it's frowned upon. Seems like there's an annual sighting of a team or two that got too much rest before the second season and looks like dog poop when they see the field. Definitely don't want to be that team, especially on someone else's turf.

Pretty strange position to be in. I'm confident that our coaches and FO will use it to our advantage.

Glad to see you back, Fate.

I do worry about that rest factor, too. With my PTBS (Post-Traumatic Browns-fan Syndrome), I always feel like the worst will happen to us if given the opportunity. On the other side of that equation, though, is the injuries, which have happened to us at every possible opportunity this year. Pick your poison, I suppose.

Thanks boss. Good to be back after a much needed break. Nice to see all the optimism and a return to a little comradery rather than the trivial fighting and arguing about nothingness. I was as guilty as anyone and needed to step back lol.

Hope you had a great Christmas with the grandson! Is the dude walking yet? Gotta be close... probably tearing bulbs off the Christmas tree. 🤣

hey Fate

Not quite, but he's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up onto his feet. He did make short work of some Chrismas decorations. To him, childproof means "hold my baba".

🤣😇

Good stuff, mate.

I will channel my innermost Michael Dean Perry

Best way to channel him is by starting off with an MDP burger!

Only $1.99?! Oh, I miss the 90s.

I like that it was just a quarter pounder divided into three different patties.

Yeah.. I caught that too.
...and to think, it was 5 years AFTER Clara Peller got famous for asking, "Where's the beef?"


....and did you see how bountiful that prop burger looked in that commercial?
