Bills got this on regulation lock down for sure, what I want to know is which teams would play in the Great Depression Bowl?

Unless Hanford Dixon and Frank Minnifield magically reappear in their late '80s prime, Buffalo wins this.

I hate Buffalo (-3) getting favored @CLE...they could never cover on the road back when they were going to SBs, let alone now. Cleveland has some confidence in their offense now, too.

Cleveland's secondary is a complete mess w/Haden out and Sheldon Brown banged up. As usual the Browns are having trouble stopping the run, too.

One good thing: the final score probably won't be either 8-0 or 6-3. :lol

Bills....But Spiller gets hurt and the Amish rifle throws for 500/5 after I decide to start him instead of Eli

lol good memory. We did have a good one in 2008, though. Brady Quinn's only good game as a Brown (of course).

I went to the sleet game in 2004, where Buffalo won 37-7 and injured 3 Browns QBs (Garcia, McCown, and somebody else):lol

Wasn't Quinn 14/36 that game? Lol

crofl, you're right...maybe I confused it for a good game b/c it's the only time he ever led a GW drive in the NFL. 2005-2011 is a little hazy for me, by design.

That was the Monday Night game in 2008. Trent Edwards threw three picks in the first quarter and Ryan Lindell missed the game-winning FG.

Cleveland's GM at the time, Phil Savage, somehow got into an online-message war w/a fan during the game. He ended up telling the fan, "Fuck you, go root for Buffalo." That phrase is now part of the Browns-fan lexicon. If you criticize the team too much on a forum, someone is guaranteed to post back, "Fuck you, go root for Buffalo."

I have T-rich, so, though I don't care who wins, I hope he runs all over them.

The Bills' offensive line has been a bright spot so far. They're leading the league in run-blocking and are the only group not to give up a sack yet:wow

Cordy Glenn is looking fanfuckintastic at LT right now, and of course our interior OL is one of the best in the game when healthy. Unfortunately, we still need a more consistent QB and much better WR's to make any serious noise.

With the state Cleveland's secondary is in, if the Amish Rifle doesn't throw for three bills he ought to be ashamed of himself.

If Fitzpatrick is throwing that much then Chan Gailey is continually slipping into senility. We have a subpar QB and the 2nd worst WR corps (lol Miami) in the league. On the flipside, we have a boss at RB and a mauling OL in the run game. Last I checked Cleveland isn't the best against the run either. If Fitz throws for 300, you can bet your ass there'll be 2-3 turnovers along the way.
