I dont think I have either. It will be interesting what impact that has on the playoffs since it looks like no one except the division leaders wants a winning record in the AFC.

So I had almost all of the stats finished for the game at Denver and my power flickered again! I think there is a conspiracy!

So anyway, the Browns won 35-14. HB Joseph once again proved why I want to keep him. He only had 78 yards rushing, but boy did he make them count going into the end zone 5 times. I love using him when I get inside the 5. But I also had some dismal failures inside the 5. I had 3 red zone possesions that went backwards and since Serna was hurt on the opening kickoff, my punter missed all 3 FGS.

My defense let Cutler have an awesome day torching me for a 24-29 perfomance and over 340 yards. But, they put the smackdown on the receivers after they got the ball, forcing 4 fumbles.

So my record is 9-0 and we get ready to play the Bills. Hopefully I can get a game played AND get the stats in the computer to get this back on track.

Kickoffs are a bitch.

Never had a K or P get injured either

That was a first for me. Said he was out the rest of the game for a "Strained Back" Guess he needs to worry about just kicking it into the end zone and not out the back of it!

Really screwed up my game plan though! Thank goodness the Broncos had butterfingers and couldnt hold on to the ball or I think this one would have turned out differently. It is never good to leave points on the field...especially 3 times!

WEEK 10 BILLS @ BROWNS

Well this game was as ugly as they can get while still winning. Serna was kciking all over the place. While Joseph was not happy about getting in the open field so he would turn around and run back to the defenders. WR Rudolph was injured so I signed Malcom Kelly to fill in for him
I was just glad to see the end of this one.

BROWNS AT BENGALS

I almost tried to out-think this one and came close to putting it in the "Lose" column. I got in the Red Zone 7 times, but because of my paranoia of Serna missing short FGs like he did the week before and the success I had on 4th and short I tried that strategy again without the success I had the previous week. But I was able to pull it with a last second FG. I also had 2 WRs down with injury (Edwards and Rudolph) not that Edwards has been a factor since Week 7, but I still think it impacted the team.

I hope things settle down though. We are heading in to the critical time of the season.
