Browns Baby!

Anderson under center, Lewis behind him. Edwards out left, JJ out right, Winslow slides right to left on your radio dial. 3rd down and 3 with a few ticks left. 1st down will seal the deal for the Brownies here in New York. Anderson takes the snap, hands the ball off to Lewis, Stutter step to the left back to the right, Lewis in tangled up at the line but breaks loose. Lewis at the 25 shakes a defender off, rumbling stumbling to the 15, stood up at the 10, shakes off a would be tackler and slams into the end zone for a touchdown! Browns are Back Baby!


Attention all Browns Fans, A letter out of Berea states that the Browns players and coaches want fans to leave the tailgating area earlier then usual so the Dawg Pound will be rocking and rolling before introductions.

Honestly I expected the Browns to be 8-8 this year and missing the playoffs by a game or two. With 3 games remaining(not looking ahead) the Browns can clinch a playoff spot with a Win against Buffalo and a Tennessee Loss! I can feel it dawgs. The Pound will be rocking on Sunday! Weather: Cold, Snow and gray skies! December football at it's finest.

Buffalo comes into this game with one goal in mind. They want this game/need this game in order to continue their run to the playoffs. Buffalo is a scary team, you never know which team will take the field. Buffalo started the season with a heart breaker against Denver where Elam kicked a game winning field goal to spoil the game for the Bills. The next two games were against Pittsburgh and New England and let's face it, the stillers were playing great ball and well you all know what the Patriots have been doing. Finally the Bills get in the win column with a close game with the Jets 17-14! Next game against Dallas on Monday night and once again Buffalo's hopes were crushed as rookie kicker Folk for Dallas booted a field goal with just ticks remaining to finish the Bills off. The Bills needed a bye week after a tough schedule to start off the season. Four straight wins against Baltimore, Cinci, Jets and the Dolphins to come out of the bye week was a pretty easy task giving that the Bengals were clueless and had more news about players getting in trouble then Highlights of great performance. Jets and Baltimore were struggling and well once again you know what the fish are doing this year. Anyways Buffalo goes home to face a Patriot team that is on a tear, lose 56-10 at home. I remember this game because I was going against Tom Brady in fantasy football, he was still passing TD's in the fourth quarter. Next game the Bills head to Jacksonville to face a very tough team who plays great on both sides of the ball, Bills lose 36-14. December arrives and the Bills win a tight one against the Redskins 17-16 and a blowout against the Dolphins 38-17. With three games left the Bills must take it one game at a time but a stumble in Cleveland, well let's face it the Bills are done! As a Browns fan I am nervous about this game. With the weather forecast being a cold and snowy day I expect the Browns to pound the football. Something has to give and I give the Browns the advantage when the QB's start airing it out. Lee Evans has picked his game up in the second half of the season and Reed and Parrish have been okie dokie options. But Edwards, Winslow, and JJ have been phenomenal all year and expect the boys to be fetching some balls early in the game. If the Browns get the lead early expect them to sit on the ball until Buffalo lights up the scoreboard. Browns need to be aggressive because the Bills will be keep it close through out the game. Turnovers will play a huge factor, if Anderson can start playing at 1:00 instead of 1:30 or 1:45 then the Browns will be on their way but Buffalo will be in their back pocket if he doesn't. I don't think the Fans in Cleveland Browns Stadium will let the Browns start late. On the defensive side of the ball, the Browns have been stopping the run, well they have been giving up 100yd games but nothing too crazy. DB's for the Browns will be hoping for bad weather because they can't play four quarters of football, they shine at times and at other times they are no where to be found. Eric Wright should be back and with the play of Mcdonald the Browns may find a way to grab some picks or even take on to the house. We can all wish right? Special teams will be a huge factor. Phil Dawson has been pretty solid for us so far. Stop thinking about the kick at Heinz field because all kickers have trouble there. He may have missed a few here and there but lets face it, he's been a huge part of this 8-5 run. Browns have relied on Dawson to win games and I have an feeling the Browns will be calling for him late in the game again. Prediction Browns 23 Buffalo 20!

Drink Beer, Bark Loud and let's Clinch this thing! WHOAAAA
