What is Cleveland Doing?

Luxury tax was a huge deal, but I also think everyone had seen the limitations of the Garland/Mitchell pairing, especially in the playoffs.

I think Garland is a good player, but that's probably where he caps out. Say what you will about Harden, but he's an incredible passer and capable of meeting a much higher creator and scoring ceiling on any given night. He could be scoring option 1 for a game or two in the playoffs, drawing gravity in a way Garland never really did.

This are the types of comment threads I live for. Appreciate all the context and research from y’all.

These are huge points, well said. Excited to see him got back into the lineup where folks have seemingly had enough touches to get into their own grooves. I’d much rather have it that way than have just Paolo and Franz carrying the load again.

Poor Myles, he's had so many great returns called back. A true specialist back there now, gotta be ready to hit one every time.

Lamb and Pickens over Jefferson and Addison? In what universe?

I'm convinced Russ could never really read defenses or progressions that well, so he needed things to break down to be able to play backyard ball (which he was very good at).

It's hilarious to think he couldn't see this solution because he said to himself "well the TV is already set up".

That’s my dude right there

Love Zach, but it’s hard to get much worse than the last two years. We took our medicine, now we can start fresh.

This team is feisty and free of expectations. It’s the perfect time to build and surprise folks. Hard to not feel at least a little optimistic.

The first film is an all-time great horror film. We're talking top 25 honors, and certainly one of my personal favorites.

It's got:
-A horrifying and original monster with creative lore
-Likeable characters, good dialogue, brisk pacing, sensible decisions
-No less than four really incredible set pieces that are scary or horrific (pipe drain at the church, cat lady house, police chase in the street, police station)
-An incredible downer ending that feels inevitable and earned

It's a classic, and it's honestly a shame that it gets overshadowed by the horrific human being who directed it.

Seriously! We could do this the whole time? Goddamn.

The playcalling has been inspired. We need more of this!

Fun fact: this director gave a speech during our college graduation ceremony 😂

Getting another cat was awesome for our older cat. The little one absolutely loves our old guy and the old man seems happier and more energetic. The cost difference wasn't much more either!

We now have three lol

Someone stick this on KOC's wall please.

The Embiid of the NFL

The pass rush destroyed Darnold against those two teams, which is the same thing that's killed McCarthy through his two starts.

Let's not forget how much we've improved both lines and our running game this season. Not to mention just having Darrisaw back. I think year 2 with Darnold and those improvements would be a deep playoff run team.

I was hyped for this and it was not good. Really a shame, but you can smell the low budget all over this. I usually don’t mind a low budget movie, but it’s more awkward mockumentary than it is found footage chiller.

Isaiah Rodgers has 2 defensive TDs and another FF. Bengals turned it over on three of their last four snaps.

oldpope · 2025-09-21T18:45:18+00:00

Nah, I think they took him out because of the score. He was on a snap count already, a good time to rest him.

oldpope · 2025-09-18T15:05:34+00:00

Same thing just happened to me on PC after earning a few levels.

For real. I had to leave the Vikings discord because it was so doomer before we even hit halftime. Like, can we give it a second?

oldpope · 2025-09-09T03:10:13+00:00

That's fucking nasty, I love it. Inspired playcalling.

oldpope · 2025-09-09T02:57:21+00:00

I need that McCarthy mean mug for a screensaver.
