Open Thread: Browns at Jacksonville Jaguars

Time: 4:05 PM EDT
TV/Radio: WOIO Channel 19, WMMS FM/100.7
Weather: 73 degrees, Sunny.  Winds, 6 MPH (NNW)
Line: Jacksonville (-7)
Key Injuries: CLE: Shaun Smith (out, hand); Ryan Tucker (doubtful, knee); JAX: Mike Walker (out, knee);

So…slow news week for the Browns, eh?  No drama.  No injuries.  No reason to call out your team or coaching staff.  Pretty boring…

With all of that obviously in jest, we actually have a football game to worry about.  Jacksonville was one of the teams that some pundits had representing the AFC in the Super Bowl this season.  But then again, many of the same guys had the Browns winning the North.  As you may or may not know, the Browns agreed to terms with Kellen Winslow, and he will not have to appeal his suspension.  Alas, he will not play with the team this week, so Derek Anderson will have to look the way of Steve Heiden and rookie tight end Martin Rucker.

Can the Browns go 2-0 without Winslow?  Can we finally capitalize on the defense that has allowed 14 or fewer points in four of their six games?

What seems to be dusted over were the comments of Braylon Edwards saying that he misses the plays from last season (read: Coach Chudzinski isn’t doing his job).  Regardless, Derek Anderson somehow managed to avoid any and all focus this week as he is coming off of an awful, awful game.

As always, we’ll be here in the comments.  And even though they frustrate the heck out of all of us, Go Browns!
