Key Match Up

NFL Records?

Highest Average, Punting, Season
51.40 Sammy Baugh, Washington, 1940
51.50 Shane Lechler, Oakland, 2009

Browns receiver/returner Josh Cribbs set the NFL record for kickoff returns with seven when he took one back 100 yards against the Chiefs to put the Browns ahead, 10-3, in the first quarter.

Notes

Lechler, however, has no plans to avoid Cribbs. Mindful of how the Raiders shut down an equally hot returner in Week 10 of the 2007 season in Chicago’s Devin Hester, he’ll kick it deep and trust his teammates to cover.

– Linebacker Kirk Morrison had a call on his cell phone Monday morning and recognized the booming voice immediately.

“It’s on! It’s bedlam!”

And then Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan hung up.

Who will have the last laugh?

Charlie Frye was traded by Cleveland to Seattle for a sixth-round draft pick.
Rob Ryan left Oakland to take a coach in Cleveland.

So the coach who acquired Frye is now with the Browns, as is the guy who replaced him, who is replacing an injured Quinn, which made Frye expendable.

This game will, hopefully, sum up Chaz career in the NFL.

You know it's a sad game when one teams best player is a kicker/punter, and the other teams best player is a kick returner

Looks like we could experience a 3 game win streak..

 

[bcort]

I'm going to the game. It'll probably be cold and wet, and a shitty game to boot, but hell, I'm excited.

 

[MYoung23]

Let's hope the Browns DBs do a better job of locating Frye's lollipops than they did against Rivers and Cassell.

 

[Chardon]

I might go to this game too.

Frye got hurt in Oaklands last game. Is he playing or is Russel starting?

Although, we only have 456 tickets left. I believe we can sell out.

A what? wtf language did you just speak?

 

[Da_James_Gang]

The Browns are winning this one...

 

[Surge]

Is Harrison going to get the majority of the carries, or are we picking someone else this week?

 

[The Oi]

Please, God, just do the right thing and treat Harrison like a feature back the next two weeks. The kid MORE than deserves it.

If there's one thing I can guarantee about this game, it's that Charlie Frye will throw a pick-six. Remember this prediction.

No way, he wont finish the game. Russell will finish, althoug overal i see oakland with 6 turnovers, but 2 of them will be fumbles.

Browns are going for their first 3 game win streak in December since 1987 today..
