PrintSan Diego Chargers at Cleveland Browns, Dec 6, 2009 4:05 PM EST
I spent about three to four hours this morning puzzled to death why my computer would not start up in its regular state. After investigating the processes in Safe Mode, I discovered a suspicious-looking one called uret463.exe. Thankfully, I had Internet access on my phone to do some searches. It ended up being a form of a trojan/virus, and I traced it back to around 4:00 PM yesterday.
I'm good at wiping out viruses when I find them, but nonetheless I was still taken aback. It was the first time I've had one (not even spyware) on this computer since I purchased it back in July of 2007. Thankfully the game started a bit later today, as I had time to hop on and put the game preview up still.

Kevin Harlan & Solomon Wilcots |
Position-by-Position Breakdown
| Pos | Adv | Reason |
| QB |  |
Ryan Kelsey highlighted the solid season that Philip Rivers is having. Brady Quinn needs to work on chemistry with his receivers still. |
| RB | |
Tomlinson and Sproles are hardly having seasons to brag about, but Sproles can contribute significantly in the passing game. |
| WR | |
Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson are each going to have 1,000 yard seasons. Legedu Naanee has made some noise due to his name and his production. |
| OL |  |
Tomlinson and Sproles can't even each 3.5 yards per carry; the Browns' line continues to remain the most stable part of the team. |
| DL | |
With Shaun Rogers and Kenyon Coleman both out, it's not even worth looking at the other team -- we're worse. |
| LB | |
If there's anything left to gain defensively this season, it's whether or not Matt Roth or Jason Trusnik can be our starting OLB next season (note: I'd like to see Veikune somewhere, but it won't happen). |
| DB | |
The Brandon McDonald demotion seems to have gone a bit too far; I'm still wondering what's up with Coye Francies. |
| ST | |
Go Joshua Cribbs, again! This week it's even because Nate Kaeding is a solid kicker and Mike Scifres can directional punt and pin teams back much better than Reggie Hodges can. |
I thank the local stations and various organizations for making it possible that this game isn't blacked out. With that said, in a business sense, it probably doesn't make a whole lot of a sense, but oh well. The Chargers have been on fire and have all the tools to blow the Browns out.
FINAL PREDICTION: San Diego Chargers 31, Cleveland Browns 10.
CHRIS' RECORD IN PICKING BROWNS GAMES: 9-2
CHRIS' OVERALL NFL PREDICTIONS RECORD: 127-50
This is the official gameday thread for the Cleveland Browns in Week 13 as they take on the San Diego Chargers. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this thread. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

Am I feeling pretty good about picking up his name now? Well, yes.

I don’t think he has any upgrade in terms of poise in the pocket/ ability to lead the team. I think Quinn can do it, or I refuse to believe that he can’t given such an overall terrible offense.
Campbell has looked average in fairly decent company on the ’skins offense. They have some nice veterans there (Cooley, Randle El) whom Quinn would surely love to have on the same page of the playbook.
Looking at todays games though I’m wondering about nicking a RB off of the Raiders though….
They didn’t exactly do much on the ground today. I’ve always like Bush, or course he went to school at Louisville, but he was kind of sporadic this year and had some costly fumbles. I’m not thinking that McFadden or Fargas would be available.

Fair enough. I just don’t believe Quinn/Anderson are any good, period. I think Campbell has been fairly solid and would be a nice option to have instead of taking a quarterback in the draft.
I think that would be a truly terrible move.

that only applies to interference. if a defensive player makes contact with a receiver past five yards its a penalty, regardless if the ball has even been thrown or not.
Ball was in the air. There was a bump on a WR on a ball that can’t be caught. They aren’t throwing the flag.

Nice to see some life in the offense! Defense isn’t doing half bad either. But let’s see if we can still compete after halftime…

yes imagine how pissed we’d be if we had the 2nd pick and he was picked 1st. so now i guess i don’t mind having the 1st pick.

Ha. Rivers is such a douche bag. He’s up by 20, goes for it on fourth, then runs his mouth about the spot.
He’s scared… he knows our offense can come back and score 21 points FTW in 13 minutes!…
… Doubtful. What a douche.
Did you know? the browns RBs haven’t scored a rushing TD this season.
thanks to solomon wilcotts for reminding us 82 fucking times today.
Greatest thing ever. Tomlinson points up and flash to Jim Brown, drinking water.

Oh well, at least it was not as ugly as I’d thought it would be. I know some people are happy that we’re one step closer to Suh.
at least robiskie showed some promise. felt bad that he almost had his first nfl touchdown but it was knocked away at the last second! and for being 11th against the pass, quinn did a nice job.
and evan moore… he just came out of nowhere! he caught just about everything thrown to him, except for that boink! catch on his helmet haha.
Evan Moore shows the value of a Stanford education, bachelor’s and master’s in 4 years plus 2 years of basketball.
Now we need Heisman deserving Gerhart to go with him. Gerhart taking 21 units this quarter with a major in management science and engineering, and will be 3 classes shy of his degree at the end of the month.
We had a semblance of an offense against an actually good team, I am encouraged. Defense is whatever at this point, I don’t even know who sees the field anymore.
it was definitely nice to see the offense perform against a decent defense, i even think i recall someone saying SD had the 11th ranked pass defense?
at this point its a little useless to try and rate the defense as about half the starters are injured and a good deal of the second stringers too.
by notthatnoise on Dec 6, 2009 10:46 PM EST up reply actions
Agreed. The defense has many excuses for poor performance right now. The offense, fortunately, didn’t need so many today.
