I'm tailgating in BWW waiting for the Browns-Steelers game with massive trepitation. I can see it's cold up there (I'm in South Carolina), but it doesn't look like weather will matter much (unless it's windy).
The national talking heads have all been repeating that the Browns can't stop the run, despite the fact that they showed marked improvement in that area vs Denver and Buffalo after coming back off the bye.
The season-long stats are all a lot of these guys look at, which is irksome to any trained analyst.
In reality, while there are still infuriating breakdowns, and the defense is currently only "okay" vs the run overall, it CAN and HAS stopped the run DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
They're also raving about Nick Chubb (rightfully so) and treating Kareem Hunt like a gimmicky bit-player.
Well the game has started...yep 2 stuffs and a throwaway who wooda thunked it?
...ok the game is over now and the Browns won 21-7.
I'm embararrassed by Damarius Randall, who was ejected for an obviously deliberate helmet-to-helmet dirty hit, and by Myles Garrett clubbing Kyle Rudolph in his head with his own helmet.
You people need to check your fandom at the door here, ok? My own peeps tried to tell me that Randall's helmet-to-helmet hit wasn't deliberate.
It was OBIOUSLY deliberate. Even more than I'm embarrassed by these dirty hits, I'm embarrassed by my own peeps sounding like Mike Tomlin trying to tell me that bullshit is okay.
It's fun to be a fan, I know, but you need to remember that this is a game, and to separate this from WAR. It is NOT okay to deliberately brain damage, cripple, or kill your opponent DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Anyway this was a convincing win; the whole team looked ready for primetime.
...unfortunately, Myles Garrett is probably gone for the rest of the season, soo...
