    While it sucks to be constantly getting hit with the injury bug, again losing Big Ben(2 weeks hopefully), we sit here capable of having landry lead this offense to a win.

    Let's all be thankful we can actually come away with a win with our backup.

    Let's be reminded another team is 0-6 without their starting QB.

    Man, a win and a bye would be so great for this team. I'm sure they all need a break and they need to be 6-4 coming out of it, with the tough games that lie ahead.

    A win against the Browns will be tough... we need to win though. Going 6-4 in the bye will be great

    Just bring the house against Manzeil, he's not going to pick the blitz apart like Brady. He'll make some good plays but he won't do it for an entire game. There were some plays against the Benglas where I found myself saying hey, he looked pretty good there but he just can't sustain it for an entire game.

    Cleveland plays us hard as of the last 5 years or so. It won't be easy, they aren't going to just lay down.

    Talk about deja vu all over again. We know BB is rusty when he returns from an injury plus now both legs will be hobbled. Do they rush him back for the Seattle game or let Landry try his hand again on the road (not unlike at KC) where the QB results were mixed. Not sure when they say BB will be out 2 games does that mean 2 weeks or 2 games - i.e. 3 weeks? No matter what - very challenging schedule other than hopefully the Brownie games. Someone else was saying that Indy's not all that good - was that before or after Sunday's game against Denver?

    Pretty sure its the same leg. As soon as Ben is ready, hes going to play, they wont hold him back.

    Honestly doesn't matter. We make even the worst teams into world-beaters for a weekend. Add to that, it's a divisional game - and you know the potential result already.

    By the way, just heard on the radio that backup quarterbacks have only won 5 games out 20 something games that the backups have started. Interesting that the Steelers have 2 of the 5 wins.

    You are right Sir (actually left). I stand corrected. Now if we could only get Ben to stand corrected all would be well. ;)

    Keep Attacking and watch the win column rise. The Browns
    should not be overlooked, this is steeler week for them, their superbowl
    thank goodness it is not being played up in Cleveland.

    Yes, I am grateful as well. Despite crippling injuries, we're somehow still in the drivers seat for a wild card spot.

    I keep seeing guys saying Manzeil cant beat us but its McCown who is QB on Sunday! That changes everything because he's been playing good all season.

    Where did you see that? According to this, they havent made a decision yet.

    Hey, if they want to turn to a guy with a sore shoulder and ribs, be my guest, doubt there will be much difference in the outcome. It wouldnt surprise me if the Browns started McCown instead of seeing what they have in Manzeil, you already know McCown isnt the future. Manzeil probably isnt either but you spent a pick on him, might as well give him a real shot.
