COB

At least with Purdy we avoid the backup who jumps in and catches lightning in a bottle. That dynamic is all too familiar. I’m not putting the guy down, but if Purdy were a baseball player they’d say he was regressing toward the mean. His play for a while there was extreme, just not realistic to think he’d be that player full time. Now he’s coming back to earth a little (literally in one instance) and hopefully Lou has enough tape on him to devise a game plan to take advantage of whatever weaknesses are there. Also, since I can’t go more than 30 days without bashing Marvin, it’s refreshing to note that we don’t have Marvin anymore, as he sucked coming off the bye week. Sad schedule fact - the bengals are first, with the most difficult schedule, in remaining strength of schedule. Look on the bright side schedule fact - 7 of the 9 teams ahead of us in the AFC playoff standings are on our remaining schedule. Peter King column in 3 sentences - “I’m guzzling coffee at some random place on my way to the airport. I fondly recall my now-deceased golden retriever. Mike Tomlin said something so simple yet so insightful, love that guy.”

Burrow’s cleat game is so fucking on point it makes me kick my neighbor’s dog.

Sam Darnold? I just looked it up, if we knock Darnold out, we’ll be facing Brandon Allen, our former backup. Shit never ends.

At least he’s not a rookie backup QB. If Darnd gets knocked out of the game and we have to face backup practice squad QB, that’s when you know we lose for sure.

Niners are on tilt, Cinderella story QB suddenly faceplants. We can win this game.

Niners fall on face, they’re on a 2 game losing streak and Purdy is looking like an ok QB, not a great QB.

Oh no Fred Warner writhing in pain on the turf in Minnesota.

Tough schedule the rest of the way, seriously need to beat SF with what is happening in the afc north.

Colts just got absolutely robbed at the end of this game.

3rd and king, browns give up a huge sack. Better get Myles to play offense somehow.

Back and forth in this game. Colts up 5 now. The Browns have the ball, can still win.

Colts with slim lead in the 4th quarter.

Browns 6 point lead at halftime.

Myles Garrett strip sack in the end zone, the Browns fall on for a td. Myles is winning this gsme.

Gene Steratore jumps in to simultaneously give his opinion on the call and to suck all the enjoyment out of the broadcast.

Gardner Minshew looks like he hasn’t washed his hair in a month. Just scored his second td, 21-17 Colts in the second quarter.

Myles Garrett jumps over the colts offensive line, walks into the backfield and blocks a field goal attempt.

Direct snap to Kareem Hunt, Cleveland scores off the Myles Garrett fueled turnover and tie this game.

Watson tried to act like it was a shoulder injury, didn’t work. Neutral brain doctor just pulled him into the dreaded blue tent.

That lady on that ad still stealing that guy’s old spice body wash. Shit’s been happening for 3 years, she’s a one man crime wave.

PJ something or other now at QB, the browns getting chunks!

Myles Garrett just got a sack fumble, as he does, browns get the ball in colts territory! Get pumped!

They just reversed one pick to an incomplete pass, he’s 1 for five with one pick and one head injury.

Watson is 1 for 5 with two picks. And he just got injured. That giant contract looks like the dumbest decision by that owner, and that’s a very high bar.

14-7 Colts. Gardner Minshew makes me want to grow a hobo mustache.
