Holy crap. That gif of Njoku spiking the ball into his own butt made me laugh so hard. I mean direct hit, point of the football and everything 😂 amaze amaze amaze!
As long as Witherspoon leads the team in sacks I've got a chance!!!! It's fun to try to guess, thanks SSJ community. This makes the season even more interesting if that's possible. I hate every team that isn't the Seattle Seahawks. But I agree with the Browns hate...they just suck and their uniforms are awful.
No! I'm really serious about this; The running game gets about 250-300 yards, the passing game suffers, and the Seahawks control the clock about 40-20. Final score 35-6. Chris Stoll is the ST player of the week because he didn't screw up and who else would you give it to?
I try to avoid the word 'expectations' in favor of 'predictions', 'hopes' or 'wishes.' In my brain, expectations imply a personal demand or standard that others must live up to. Because I'm a proud know-nothing, I can't expect anything.
A semantic riff perhaps, but as Sammy Davis Jr. sang, "I gotta be me!".
I wish and hope for - and also predict - a Hawks win, but please, minus any cardiac stress (like playing down to Moons' level) or serious injuries.
The whole "which team do you hate" poll awakened my hateful side. That's both bad and good. Too much hate in this world already! Or, get those feelings out in the open and move on! Hate the 'Chiefs' fetishization of First Nation people and the Swiftie hoohah. The Pats? Kraft is so repulsive, and their cheating history. And both teams have also won a lot. Arrrgh!
Gotta say, I love the Bills, the whole mafia thing, Josh Allen and a pricey/beautiful new stadium in the rust belt! See? Love conquers hate!
Yes to that hate! Boston fans are at least as “entitled” as NY fans! And then there’s the icky Kraft part. Which is why it’s easy to detest Dallas as well….
Dennis Erickson lost his coaching job here because we "lost" to the Pats due to officials giving them enough penalty yards to put them on the goal line in the last minutes of the last game of the season back in the late 90's. It's one of the worst displays I've ever watched unfold. Blatant. Whitey Bolger owned Boston back then, along with half the FBI field office. "Talking" to the local Refs would be child's play to the criminal mind. When the Season started, Dennis was told by Seahawk's owners he must get us into the Playoffs that year or changes would be made. Indeed, they were. That game sealed us out. I was hoping we'd learn something on this from Bolger's memoirs.
Inquiring minds want to know: What is the guy (who claimed credit in the comments) that nailed so many last week saying? And let's hope I'm wrong about Lock being our OPoG Award winner...
I continue to see Dickson as part of MM’s “long game” strategy, and ultimately excelling at it. A drive stalls at midfield or in Seahawk’s territory, Dickson consistently uncorks an unreturnable kick (props to the Special Teams…), opponents go three-and-out (props to The Dark Side), opponents punt from the 19 yard line, and the offense eventually gets it into the end zone. Unless there’s another Chaz Surrat moment, Dickson is ALWAYS going to be the safe bet for Special Teams POG…!
Maybe we will see Milroe if things go wild? I'm all-for seeing our newest guys get an actual 'Start' in the regular season. How 'lucky' the stars lined up for them... Nobody is more favorable for Rookies than MM and his Coaches (and Captains). That will turn heads.
I just came to say similar. Makes no sense if he only punts once or twice. Thats why I picked Myers. I can’t pick Dickson if he’s not on the field. And someone posted Stoll, which would also work this week.
I guess he’s the same human being but capabilities change and certainly the uniform has zilch to do with who wears it. It’s not even like he’s played for the same teams bettering the Hawks….
Correct. “Capabilities change”??? Clearly we’re aware of that considering our two QBs. What has been true about Mariota is he rarely turns the ball over. Second last week, in relief, he was 11 of 16 111 yards and a TD. Last year against the Broncos, after replacing Daniels, again, he was 28 of 50 294 yds, 2 TDs and 10 rushes/scrambles for 55 yds. 350 yds of offense against one of only 2 defenses close to ours. I’d say, like our QBs, he has capabilities. That was the point of my comment. Reason he is still in the NFL. Miss the “although” part?

I am also on the side of simply one more point that the other team and no injuries…. FedEx Field isn’t a good place and very bad for players’ bodies!

Once upon a time, the Browns had a receiver who could do the between-the-legs touchdown celebration. It was a thing of beauty:

I suppose I could go all AI on us, but I'll ask you: Who is Browns #84?
Does anyone else see the incongruity of expecting your punter to be the special teams player of the game when we’re also expecting a blowout win?
I get it in that Dickson is our best special teams player, but I really don’t expect to see him in the game except to hold on PATs and FGs.

Uuum, no.
The only way I want to see Milroe is at RB.

FYI. Marcus Mariota is 2-0 vs Seahawks as starter and a 103 QB Rating…although we’re 2017 and 2022.

Mariota is fully capable of commanding the field against us. It's an excellent challenge for our Support Squad.
What time zone are they playing in? (Up there) Is it a night game?
