Once again I apologize for my insensitive remarks,DahlaPoo.



Do you have pretty legs?


Love,

Clyde

Oh my god.

clyde 09-12-2011 01:16 AM

You woke me up with this,but I did find it highly amusing.

clyde 09-12-2011 01:32 AM

Am going back to sleep...only Dahla is allowed to wake me up again.

I don't think even his biggest supporters could have seen that coming. In his wildest imagination, Newton himself couldn't have either. Very impressive.

One game does not a career make.

Obviously Newton played great but perhaps he might have tougher sailing against teams that actually decide to cover Steve Smith.

No doubt. I am not saying that he is the next anything. All I am saying is that was the most impressive rookie debut by a QB I have ever seen. 422 yards by a rookie is ridiculous.

Any logical person would have to assume the lack of preparation for the defense played a part. Either way, he was awesome yesterday.

slotdirt 09-12-2011 11:35 AM

Just generally speaking though, how not good did the NFC South look yesterday? I thought they were the best division in football?

But that team still won.


The Browns secondary,usually very attentive fellows.....decided ( up by 3 with less than 5 minutes to go--mind you) to pay no never mind over at Mr. Wide Receiver--AJ Green.


The didn't cover him ...at all.

Nobody home.

Game winning 40 yard td pass to Green.

slotdirt 09-12-2011 12:12 PM

Newton also tied the record for most passing yards by a rookie in any game, tying the record held by...Matthew Stafford. I won't tell clyde against whom Stafford set that record.

clyde 09-12-2011 12:17 PM

Why, I'll bet it was the same team whose first 10 years of existence are pure storybook...you'd think it was scripted out of someone's noodle and made into a Disney movie.


Bet ya.

From '50 to '58, the Browns and Lions won a combined six NFL championships. Since? Let's not talk about that.

This was Newtons 13th pro game, I believe.

In the end, it was 2 Tigers (Doucet, and Peterson) that did in Scam and the Panthers. Good fo his azzzzz.

The Lions had great teams in the 50's and probably could have carried through the first half of the 60's if not for the Packers.They always were a big Browns nemesis.



The Brown's...mainly talking about '46 through '55.

Yes..they were still a very good team through the 60's, but not the great team of the 40's and 50's.


Not sure if the story of their first 10 years can be matched by any team in any sport.

This is true---that's all you were saying.



I really enjoy trying to make you viper spitting angry with me.

But you are so good at ignoring me that it really is upsetting.
