Man, how quickly those offensive and defensive rankings can skyrocket after playing the Lions!

Now that the Packers have signed my avatar's namesake, I have every confidence they will dominate this game like the Visigoth hordes of old.

36-3 at halftime. 48-5 when it's all over.

Nonstop, I can't really blame McCarthy for running the ball after having the 26-0 lead over they Lions. We need to get in a rythm with the running game.

Let's get in here and get out healthy, so we can start preparing for the Vikings. Hopefully we get a good lead at halftime and we can pull the starters. I don't want to see any vital parts of our team go down with season ending injuries against this team.

Oh, and lets not take this team lightly, as we did against the Bengals. If we lose to this team, I will be PISSED.

Browns could get relief from NFL's swine flu policy
Posted by Mike Florio on October 22, 2009 7:11 AM ET
On Wednesday, Browns coach Eric Mangini said that the team doesn't know whether a dozen players currently suffering from the flu have the H1N1 variety. Mangini also said that he's not sure whether the team would be able to disclose the ultimate answer to that question, due to privacy laws.

But based on the terms of the league's policy regarding H1N1, better known as "swine flu," the Browns will be able to use players from the practice squad only if six or more active players are suffering not from seasonal flu or stomach flu or blue flu or "I'm so hung over I'll just say it's the flu," but from the swine flu.

The procedure, as NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Associated Press, is as follows: "If a club has at least six players unable to participate as the result of confirmed or suspected cases of swine flu, it can receive roster exemptions for those players and promote players from its own practice squad to replace them. A club can receive a max of 8 such exemptions. They must be medically confirmed cases of swine flu. This procedure does not apply to any other type of flu or illness. There is a deadline for promoting practice squad players pursuant to these procedures at four hours prior to kickoff."

On Wednesday, 12 Browns players missed practice with flu-like symptoms. It remains to be seen whether any of them can return to practice -- or whether other players will be absent -- for practice on Thursday.

The Browns host the Packers on Sunday.

ya great ... now the spread is going to blow vs them.

Browns are still decent; but with the flu I'm not going to expect much from their team this sunday.

This is our 2nd practice game till we teach favre the meaning of life. And this time he doesnt get to bring his refs along (least I hope).

Think A.J. Hawk will lay the smack on Chad Johnson like good ole Ray Lewis did? That would be a highlight video I'd keep!

You mean Ochocinco?

If that's the case, then A.J. missed his opportunity, as you guys are playing the Browns. =P

Doesn't matter. Hawk is not on the field enuf to do anything to anyone.

Maybe I shouldn't be, considering who we've played. Although I am. Somewhat surprised we're a top 10 offense and defense.

This week GB is at Cleveland, Chicago is at Cincinnati and and MN is at Pittsburgh.
What is up with the NFL schedule makers? I am sick and tired of how the NFL does things. All 3 of these games are on Fox. (Luckily the Chicago game is a late game.) Why not have one of the 3 games scheduled for the NFC team's stadium so it will be on CBS? The Suits must think every single game is interchangeable with every other game. So instead of actually providing the fans with a choice they create conflict.
Northern IL was originally scheduled to get the MN game, fortunately the local station was able to change it to the GB game. I see that Lima Ohio had to request the Cleveland game instead of the Pittsburgh game. And as of now the northwest corner of WI has to watch the MN game.
It is as if the NFL goes out of their way to create as much conflict as possible. Last week both GB and Chicago had their bye at the same time. How difficult would it be to have teams in a geographic area have slightly different schedules? Now I know it is hard to factor both MN and Chicago into the GB schedule but they could do a much better job than what they are doing now.

NFC vs NFC are on Fox (except for the Sunday nite and Monday nite games.)
NFC vs AFC games are on the network of the visiting team. That way the AFC network gets to air a few games every year in the NFC cities which are for the most part larger markets than the AFC cities.

Zero2Cool (13h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (17h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (17h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (18h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (18h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (18h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (18h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (18h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (18h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (18h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (18h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (18h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (20h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (20h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (20h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
