Hoyer at least knows Shanahan's offense - how many wins did Cleveland manage with those two that year? San Francisco will probably win more games than Cleveland when it's all said and done, because, y'know, it's the Browns and they'll always find a way to fuck it.

Cleveland will be just fine. You can only whiff on so many 1st Round picks and they basically have Houston's draft next year too.

The Jets are hands down the worst team on paper and have shown no indication that they're doing anything but tanking.

How dare you! We are going 6-10 this year sir!

Cleveland hasn't been "just fine" since they came back into the league. They've had 2 winning seasons since '99 and have had 13 seasons with 5 or less wins.

I agree that they just might be on the upswing if these last two years of draft picks (and next year's picks) can pan out but it all depends on Kizer blossoming and Garrett not being another Courtney Brown.

If they're patient with the coaching staff and make even average use of their draft capital then they'll be near .500 in no time. It's obviously uncertain but even if Kizer sucks, I think they'll be OK in the next few years.

Pre-season proper returns tonight, and so is David Quessenberry!

I'm following the fantasy drafts in the other threads, and I think three or four times now I've seen LAC for a team abbreviation and gone, "Da fuck? The Clippers? Oh...oh right, the Chargers." Going to take me a while, I suppose. 

[Pooker]

Same here. I couldn't figure for the life of me what it meant. I totally forgot they moved. Guess we'll be doing it in a few years with the Raiders too.

[GhostMachine]

When I see LAC, it reminds me of The Lacs, not a sports team. 

And damshow is wrong about the worst teams. The Browns will surely be worse than at least one of the teams that he mentioned. Most likely....DA BEARS!

Did Glennon actually throw a pick-six with the very first possession of the entire season?

Oh man I completely forgot we signed Mark Sanchez!  

[Pooker]

He's taking over for Cutler well.

Trubisky to Cruz!

 

THE BEARS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!

Not THE very first possession, there was a game last week. But the Bears' first one, yes.

 

Bears offense has produced all the touchdowns this game, good signs for Srar :3

[Lineker]

That's what I meant  

[Plubby]

Apparently there's a bunch of other games going on too so in retrospect it should have been obvious to me but I only had eyes on the Bears/Broncos game >_<

[Your Mom]

I think this is why I don't really watch preseason much. I've been finding myself thinking "Oh wow they actually look really good!" and then I remember it's against back ups if even that so it's not quite as impressive

[Your Mom]

That was a cheap hit and now Cruz is hurt! 

[Pooker]

Maybe I'm just being very pessimistic, but I can easily see the 49ers losing the first 12 to 14 games. Depending on how the Rams play, it could be one of the worse seasons in a while for us. But I would be very shocked if this team managed more than 4 wins.

[GhostMachine]

I never really pay much attention to preseason, except for the Hall of Fame game.
