- all of our own doing too.* - Ari Gold December 14, 2025, 13:41:15
It’s like Ozzy isn’t even there, Myles is absurd* - gvibes December 14, 2025, 13:30:32

- so dumb.* - Ari Gold December 14, 2025, 13:31:09
That’s a late hit. If that’s Mahomes it’s a lifetime ban and led away in handcuffs* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:30:00

- this. atrocious last few minutes of the half.* - Ari Gold December 14, 2025, 13:30:10

- Ok there was the first one that was bad* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 13:26:16
Making a concentrated edfort to get DJ involved? Also catch the fucking ball* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:25:39

Not sure about those play calls* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:14:40
God dammit just get the 1st down* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 13:14:39
why is that not kick catch interference?* - VIV December 14, 2025, 13:12:23
- I mean why not give the receiver a medium shove every time?* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:14:06
Bad call by the ref. Strange time to call progress - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 13:09:48

especially when he’s falling forward? terrible.* - Ari Gold December 14, 2025, 13:10:58

That is an atrocious call* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 13:09:27
- Same guy that called the phantom hold on Smythe I think. Ref show.* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:10:53
Fucking ref* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:09:16

- They’ve played a near perfect half. Sorry it wasn’t actually perfect* - GMAW December 14, 2025, 13:09:44
Can’t have a repeat of the Saints game where we suddenly gave them life before/after half* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 13:04:15
Exactly what we didn’t need. Gave them some encouragement * - QcIlliniFan December 14, 2025, 13:03:22
Come on Santos. Bears missed a chance to put them away* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 13:02:44
gotta upgrade PK next season* - Orangeillini December 14, 2025, 13:02:23
- Yep. 1.1 mil in dead money. Have to eat it* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 13:05:37
- Hundo p. You’re gonna be weak legged you better make fucking everything* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:02:53
Jesus, Santos. Do your fucking job* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 13:02:20
- caleb can’t take a sack there either.* - Ari Gold December 14, 2025, 13:11:44
Isn’t this browns defense supposed to be excellent ?* - gvibes December 14, 2025, 12:58:54
This is too easy….. - timmer December 14, 2025, 12:58:26

Cleveland is not interested in playing this game* - Herman Blume December 14, 2025, 12:46:53
Loveland and Burden weren’t luxury draft picks after all. They’re already our best 2 receivers. - OB25 December 14, 2025, 12:43:46
- Burden>>>Rome* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 12:47:03
  - Pump those brakes.* - Toonces December 14, 2025, 12:52:26
    - That was a sweet spin move by Luther though.* - Toonces December 14, 2025, 12:57:57
    - I don’t think it’s even arguable right now, doesn’t mean it can’t change long-term though.* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 12:54:41
Nice to beat up on a bad team * - gvibes December 14, 2025, 12:42:02
Nice to not fuck around and just dominate a shitty team* - illini21 December 14, 2025, 12:41:38
Love burden! And great play and great throw to Moore* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 12:41:37
- He’s gonna be a good one* - illini21 December 14, 2025, 12:42:08
There we go, a perfect touch throw instead of throwing a line drive* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 12:41:22
hell yeah. even better drive.* - Orangeillini December 14, 2025, 12:40:51
- Good reads, good throws* - illini222 December 14, 2025, 12:42:41

- LOL not even willing to run a QB sneak there instead of just punting it away* - OB25 December 14, 2025, 12:33:32
Great drive* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 12:25:05
hell yeah. great drive.* - Orangeillini December 14, 2025, 12:24:53
Another example there of the context behind Caleb’s completion % - OB25 December 14, 2025, 12:13:08
seeing it live I thought Blackwell touched it when he was on the line. not sure on replay though.* - Orangeillini December 14, 2025, 12:10:45
- Looked to me like he pulled his hand back before touching it. - IlliniSax05 December 14, 2025, 12:12:31
  - Wasn’t there a second player who touched it?* - gvibes December 14, 2025, 12:13:09
Catch the fucking ball* - illini21 December 14, 2025, 12:08:40
What a putrid possession* - Mrap24 December 14, 2025, 12:07:57

- that's an understatement* - Orangeillini December 14, 2025, 12:09:48
DJ Moore you idiot!* - Poldark December 14, 2025, 12:06:44
9F at Northerly Island at noon* - timmer December 14, 2025, 12:06:32
