Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Will there be riots when Watson is named the starter next week? Like Moniken has any say in it.
Just sayin': There will at least be a lot of Boos,

Browns' Watson calls fans' boos 'personal,' not based on play

In his first home game since tearing his right Achilles tendon in October 2024, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was met with loud boos, a reaction he said was "disrespectful."

In four second-half drives, Watson completed 5 of 12 passes for 35 yards and one interception in the Browns' 31-7 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The seats at Huntington Bank Field were half full, but the boos were pronounced when Watson took the field at the beginning of the second half and as he struggled.

"I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said. "It's a little bit [more] personal than that. So, I think it's a disrespectful thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that. And yeah, just move on."

Watson has been a polarizing figure in Cleveland since the Browns traded three first-round picks to the Houston Texans in March 2022 and gave him a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract in the aftermath of more than two dozen women accusing him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage sessions.

Two Texas grand juries declined to pursue criminal charges against Watson a week before his trade to Cleveland, but he served an 11-game suspension to begin his tenure with the Browns. He also paid a $5 million fine and completed a treatment program after the NFL and the NFL Players Association reached a settlement in August 2022 on his disciplinary matter.

Since joining the Browns, Watson has failed to recapture the Pro Bowl form he showcased in Houston, posting a 33.1 Total QBR that would rank last if he had enough starts to qualify. The suspension and injuries have limited him to just 19 games.

"I feel like I get more love in road games than I do home games," Watson said. "So if it is my spot ... maybe it's 17 away games then. I don't know."

:lol:

Even the asshole from scUM had a better QB rating (i,e. 35.6).....:no:

QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Yeah, the Steelers aren't going to cut Rodgers or Mason, so far Allar is looking good, and they won't carry four QBs. Baring a season injury to one of those 3, he's gone. If nobody else picks him up, maybe he'll make their "practice squad".

LB Christian Alliegro (Official Thread)

One thing that didn't dawn on me is that Alliegro couldn't come off the field for Wisconsin because he was their entire defense. He had to be exhausted out there. He won't have to be relied upon that heavily here, which should be to his benefit.
Really excited to see how James and Patricia uses him. I'm expecting him to get a lot of attention (turning heads) this year.

CB Jermaine Mathews, Jr. (All B1G, National Champion)

Hope that he has a special year.
My confidence is high on him, his only busted plays he was inches away from making the play and in the right spot. When a player isn't in the right spot to make the play at CB, that's a huge issue. If he's there and is just missing making the play, he'll usually get it fixed. Like Iggy after he had to wear oven mits for awhile.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Yeah I have to admit I think the concerns are overblown too. We gave up 5 sacks all year until the final 2 games.

We struggled vs the movement of IU and the ran into 2 first round DEs vs Miami. Those just weren’t the best DLs we played but they were 2 of the best.

Throw in a first year OC, a true freshman RB and a QB that went unchallenged all year? It’s no surprise the offense struggled
Yeah I was pretty focused on the OL struggles at the end but then you realized IU and Miami had unbelievable defensive fronts that gave every OL in the country fits. We have a really good OL coming back as long as the two deep develops in case of injuries. I think we have a hell of a starting 5 and will have good depth as well, I'm pretty confident in the unit heading into the season. It's the main reason I would agree with putting us in the top 5 to start the season, not just Sayin and Miah like most people think.
