I feel like at comic con is expected whereas at a football game you're 1 of 10000 dressing up. I think they are all dorks though except the hot girls, because hot girl privilege is definitely a thing. But tbh this is about 10x more though than I've ever given it.

And a final thought, the people that dress up for movie premieres are the weirdest of the dress up crowd.

I make sure to wear my cargo shorts to piss off all the men Karens who are overly concerned with what someone else is wearing.

That was an extremely enjoyable watch. 1:30 #45 looks like a fool trying to tackle Ingram.

Best lines were "i guess thats how you become mascot of the year" and after getting waterb"thats high quality right there"

I think Culley is just a lame duck yes man but I will give it to him that his players do seem to truly enjoy playing for him and he genuinely cares.

They may be shltty but they'll play as a team and they'll play with heart.

Extremely enjoyable watching that video with Ingram. He's now near the top of my favorite players.

Anyone want to predict Sunday's score at Cleveland? I don't think the outcome will be in doubt, but I don't think we get blown out either. Something about Tyrod and Ingram and this coach, they just don't look like the boring go through the motions Texans of the last several years. Obviously it was just Jacksonville, but Jville was favored and we blew them out. Who knows?

27-20 Browns......which will be plenty good enough to keep me interested.

I think we'll be competitive in most games this year, though we may not get the Ws to go along with it. We have a good left side of the OL and a deep backfield. Solid defense with the depth (although average) benefits teams later in the season as injuries/wear and tear happens. It wouldn't surprise me if most of our games were lower scoring but grinding it out and wearing down opponents.

The more I watch the team and learn about the Deshaun stuff, I'm wondering if his public throwing the organization under the bus was more reactionary than proactive with his lawsuit. It just doesn't seem like this is that toxic of an organization.

If the rumors are true that Palcic was canned for trying to sweep it under the rug, it leads me to believe the team/organization knew of the allegations and the substance behind them. Maybe the Texans approached Deshaun about their proposal on how to handle and instead of collaborating with them, he wanted to control the narrative. I don't doubt he was dissatisfied with certain things, but it is very clear now that the team has an actual GM running the show who's shed a lot of the crap contracts that Easterby helped negotiate. Perhaps Deshaun was convinced by his agent that the trade would be quick and a sure thing like he accomplished for Ramsey, but maybe they all underestimated the Texans/legal process.

Can't wait for the documentary that Jim Trotter teased about comes out!

Compared to expecting to be blown out every game like most people did, expecting to be competitive isn't really that far of a stretch.

We are clearly at least in a different class than Jville at this point....nobody thought we would be, hence Jville being favored on the road in Week 1.

Jax was a popular pick in survivor/loser pools last week because some were convinced this was one of the only one's they'd win.

I'm not worried about who we beat, I liked the way we did it. The team gave effort and execution was fairly crisp given the total makeover of the roster and the first game of the season.

We're not going to make the playoffs or win the SB, but i don't think a 6+ win season is out of reach. I expected 2-4 wins, so yes it is exciting.

the other surprise for week 1...how bad the Titans and Colts looked.

and both may lose again this week.

I don't expect many wins for this team this year, but I am hoping they play competitive football and as mistake free football as possible, if they do that they will be in most games.

The only opening day starters consistent from 2020-2021...

WR - Cooks
TE - Brown
LT - Tunsil
CB - Hargreaves
S - Murray
S - Reid

Mercilus and Cunningham are starters but in a different system/position. Scharping and Howard starters, but at different spots on the OL.

Wonder what the most turnover a franchise has had at the starting level is.

That shouldn't have been called a TD on the field…couldn't overturn it, but he was likely down before he reached across. Even at that, it's unclear if he ever even actually broke the plane of the goal line when he DID stretch.

I'm not going to say it looks like we might have a team, but for the 1st time in a while, it feels like we have a coaching staff that comes prepared.
