What a great week - the Pack humiliating the Vikings on Thursday and then the Browns have an exciting game that they actually win. Okay, so [they can’t dance](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hju_sgW22Wk) worth a darn, but after going 1-7 on the road for the last few years, and having clawed their way to 2-2, for once it is fun to be a Browns fan.

They will probably lose six of their next nine, but for now…

Regards,  
Shodan

Been following Andy Reid since he left Philadelphia, and was not surprised to see he had another game marked by lost challenges, inopportune offsides calls and 12-men-on-the-field penalties, and another post-game admission “I have to do a better job… that’s on me… I take responsibility”.

Curious how others view him.

Cousins is looking like a pretty darn competent QB.

> Look at the bright side. Giovanni Bernard finally got his ypc above 3.5 ypc for a game.

As of right now, Bernard is the only player in the NFL with more than 200 rushing yards, more than 150 receiving yards and at least three rushing TD’s.

No, he’s not a traditional pounding between the tackles back, but he is versatile and shifty.
