Tampa Bay: 28th in total offense, 25th in points per game, 29th in total defense, 30th in points allowed.
Cleveland: 31st in total offense, T-30th in points per game, 32nd in total defense, 28th in points allowed.
I think that makes you worse.
The Buccaneers allow 28.9 PPG and the Browns allow 26.1 PPG… and the Bucs score 16.8 PPG and the Browns score 9.8 PPG. Therefore, if the two teams played, and the universe did not implode due to the unprecedented accretion of suckitude, the Buccaneers would win, negative 12.1 to negative 16.3.
You know what pisses me off? Jerome Harrison is in the final year of his contract, and even though he has always performed well, he never gets a chance. This year he got to start 2 games, in which he put up over 100 and over 140 combined yards, and as soon as Jamal is back we get to feature him running into his guard’s back again.
FFS, Jamal is retiring next year, and we’re in a total waste of a year. Is there any reason at all not to see if Harrison can be the back of the future? We’re going to lose him in free agency at this rate and he’ll go off and be a star somewhere else, and it pisses me off massively. There’s absolutely no reason not to give him a shot.
So in teh Auction league I was behind by 20.12 points with nobody left to play for either team except I had Baltimore DEF. heh. So I taped the game and “shortied” (FFWD between plays) just the Browns offensive possessions, skipping the Ravens possessions entirely. Took around, maybe half an hour to watch the whole game.
From the perspective of rooting for the Browns to give up fantasy DEF points, they are hall of famers. Sack, sack, interception, pick six, sack, sack, shutout! It really couldn’t have possibly gone better. 21 points is a hell of a lot to expect from a single defense, but by god Brady and the Brownies gave it to me with points to spare. (24 total.) Nice.
No sarcasm at all, I actually felt like I was watching “quality suckage” in the same way you’d watch quality rushing or quality man coverage. It felt like I was watching something good, when in reality it was so very very bad.
For this I missed cramming bamboo slivers under my fingernails?
I watched the game intently last night since I had Rice a RayRay in the Yardage Pool and don’t rightly recall ever being less enthused as a game progressed than by this one. Sorry but the execution was just sad. Admittedly, after Sunday night’s battle this one was pretty much destined for the Butthurt Bowl.
No, he’s signed with the Browns for a few more years and he actually likes being on the team strangely enough and (I think) genuinely wants to finish his career here.
Funny pathetic stat: The Browns have no RBs or WRs with a touchdown this year. All the TDs have been special teams, the QB rushing for a TD, or a TE or fullback receiving it.
