think it's just the general stress of everything (injuries, omicron etc.) probably getting to people a little bit
And the fact that we're (for now) still in first place in the division with the strong possibility that we may not win another game this season.

surprised by this a little - i assumed hayes was done
and especially if the season does start fizzling, would be nice to see if we can get him some more live reps


It's honestly not bad timing if he gets out there in the next week or two. If the season starts to go down the wrong path, you can bring him up and let him play. If we remain in the playoff hunt and don't see a role for him, you technically don't have to activate him.

I’m not sure we win another one. I think 2 of these games we should be beaten soundly, and the other 2 I still think we lose. I just don’t see the defense continuing at a high level with these injuries against the likes of GB, LA, and cinci, and unless there are major schematic changes and Lamar gets his head out of his ass, I don’t see our offense suddenly improving with the OL playing as it is

eh, you never know. We get a few guys back on both sides of the ball, execute better, they may surprise you. Stranger things have happened.

Now Browns fans can shut the fuck up about our game being moved by the way.
Super pissed. I was smart enough to bet large $ on Raiders +6 on Tuesday, when I first saw the outbreak on the Cleveland Oline. That line has moved all the way to like Raiders -3, and now allowing Cleveland more time to recover means my bet is in jeopardy.

Lawsuit pending (kidding, kind of).

More importantly, didn't the league say that they weren't gonna reschedule games and if an outbreak happened, a team would forfeit?

Hell you know how it is you just make shit up as you move along. Rules are made to be broken.

Going into next season healthy is a huge upgrade.


At that point we are really talking about needing 1 OL at RG or LG to be honest. The situation is not as dire as it looks. It's just that the injury bug has plagued us this year

That’s assuming the guys that were hurt will be as good as they were prior to being injured.

Exactly. After Stanley and now Boyle it shows nothing can be expected.

For the longest time I thought this was all bad luck but I’m convinced we push people too hard (those recovering) and SOME - not many - can be chalked up to something else going on

what's been unexpected about boyle so far?

stanley obviously had a setback which sucks but what's gone wrong with boyle?
