WEEK 4 UPDATE

Week 4 thy name is bloodbath. We are now down to 4 teams.

19-0 Contenders


Denver Broncos



Status: Still in it!
Next Opponent: Falcons


Minnesota Vikings



Status: Still in it!
Next Opponent: Texans


Philadelphia Eagles



Status: Still in it!
Next Opponent: @ Lions



0-16 Contenders


Cleveland Browns



Status: Still in it!
Next Opponent: Patriots


Eliminated from the 19-0 Race

New England Patriots - Shut out by a Rex & Rob Ryan coached team. A Shameful Loss.
Baltimore Ravens - Lost to the Oakland Raiders in a game I really don't remember much about

Eliminated from the 0-16 Race

Jacksonville Jaguars - Get their first win against the Indianapolis Colts but sadly it's not in the US.
Chicago Bears - Managed to beat the Detroit Lions without Jay Cutler or any real offense to speak of.
New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees got his revenge on the San Diego Chargers

Week 5 19-0 Chase Commentary

Well now poo poo gets real. We have 3 remaining 19-0 candidates, and two of them are scheduled to play each other in Week 7, meaning we will eventually eliminate down to two. The Broncos won without Siemian and I can't believe I'm saying this, but if he's out for any extended time their chances of going 19-0 look pretty grim. Making matters worse, the red hot Falcons are coming to town. This has gotta be the toughest game the Broncos have had on the schedule so far, even though their first match of the season was a Super Bowl re-match. Meanwhile, the Vikings caused OBJ to have another meltdown and get the Texans at home this week. Not as tough a game as the Falcons, but it's no cake walk either. The Eagles were idle so I have nothing to say about them except hail Wentz.

Upcoming Games:

Texans @ Vikings
Falcons @ Broncos
Eagles @ Lions

Week 5 0-16 Chase Commentary

Welp, we're down to the one team we all thought it would be. It's the Browns or nothing now. And they're playing the Pats with Brady this week. :rip: Looking ahead, here's the rest of Cleveland's schedule:

5 October 9 1:00 p.m. New England Patriots
6 October 16 1:00 p.m. at Tennessee Titans
7 October 23 1:00 p.m. at Cincinnati Bengals
8 October 30 1:00 p.m. New York Jets
9 November 6 1:00 p.m. Dallas Cowboys
10 November 10 8:25 p.m. at Baltimore Ravens
11 November 20 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh Steelers
12 November 27 1:00 p.m. New York Giants
13 Bye
14 December 11 1:00 p.m. Cincinnati Bengals
15 December 18 1:00 p.m. at Buffalo Bills
16 December 24 1:00 p.m. San Diego Chargers
17 January 1 1:00 p.m. at Pittsburgh Steelers

:stare: Jesus Christ.

Probably the most winnable games on there are Week 6 @TEN and Week 8 vs NYJ. If they're still winless after that I honestly don't see another potential win until Week 16 against the Chargers.

Upcoming Games:

Patriots @ Browns

Though this time we dont have Shady to rely upon...Dammit Chip, imagine if we could have had Wentz throwing to Maclin and Jackson with Shady behind him.....


Im kinda hoping that since Jackson's contract runs out this year Roseman will somehow lure him back to Philly dumping all the poo poo on Cheep.

I'm down with writing that up for next week. Since I doubt we get a 19-0 or 0-16 team this year it'll give us some content to talk about.

Well...i doubt we get a 16-0 but i think the browns will give us something to talk about for at least another couple of weeks...

Though we dont really want this to turn into a Browns thread.

The Browns will beat the Giants week 12 for their only win of the season.

Zimmer was hired the same year as Bill O'Brien. In other words, if Bob McNair didn't have this weird obsession with the Patriots it's possible the Texans could have hired him

Makes you think

The best thing about an undefeated Bradford is that he would still only be 18-0.

Now I'm really sad that I won't get to see what atrocious things Clowney and Watt could do in a Zimmer defense. :stonklol:

Zimmer almost didn't even bother interviewing with the Vikings because the Jags were the most recent of many teams to pass on him as HC. Not just the Texans on that one, but some of his success may be due to him being super tight with the GM. Zimmer has to have a big part in drafting to get "his players" like Danielle Hunter. Spielman is definitely all-in on Zimmer, and it is paying off.

I mean granted I wanted them to hire Ray Horton but I would have been OK with Zimmer too. Much much much more OK today, obviously.

I didn't like the O'Brien hire at the time, then he won me over with how well the lovely QBs we signed performed under him and how well the Patriots South defensive coaching staff was doing, but welp the whole Brock thing basically tore down any confidence I have in this regime

They also didn't actually speak to him on the phone either, because it was all done with his agent before they were allowed to actually talk to the player
