Cardinals/Browns thoughts wanted

**babaoriley** · 12-02-07, 02:37 PM

Fitzgerald likely out. Cards without their top 2 DB's (Green and Wilson and without arguably their top 2 pass rushers (B. Berry and Chike Okeafor (an early loss, but still). I don't see how you can go AZ here, bbd.

Then again, I'm all over the Browns this week, so maybe some bias coming in.

Im on Cle. as well but the Cards do play good at home.

im liking cleveland alot too. At first said ok cards play well at home so maybe not. But after these injury updates and looking closer cards beat lions pitt at home who both slipping up big time and lost to 49ers at home.

So like the browns

**Crayzee** · 12-02-07, 03:26 PM

road team at pickem is always the play for me
question is if line changes by game time
then i take the point(s)

I lost my Browns side but I still feel like it was the right play. I know that very statement always draws the ire of those that say "well, the winning play is always the right play", but in this case, I feel ok about it.

The Browns turned the ball over 4 times. Since Anderson took over at starting QB after week 1, the Browns only had one game with more than 2 turnovers (week 5 against New England) until this week. They outgained the Cards significantly and generally outplayed the Cards. The injuries to Wilson and Green weren't as significant as I thought they'd be, as Hood made up for both of them, seemingly. With Fitzgerald out, then losing Boldin, I thought this one was a gimme. And when the Browns were driving at the end of the game (not the very last drive, but the drive before that ended in a 21 yard FG), I couldn't believe they ran the ball up the middle on 2nd and goal from the 6. That's not their game... Alas, the shaky ending was just a rough, rough break. Not saying that it should or shouldn't have been a catch, but I find it hard to swallow an outcome that is decided by a questionable call that cannot, by rule, be challenged.

They had no problem reviewing a non-reviewable play for the Browns a couple of weeks ago. I was on the wrong side of either decision. Zebras should be tax-deductible.

I lost.........that should sum it up.

NFL Zebras hosed the Browns today. I wonder if they are on the take like in the NBA
