So, is the Giants game today on the shores of Lake Erie at the Factory of Sadness vs the 0-11 Browns a tasty helping of Thanksgiving leftovers or a hand grenade disguised as a piece of pumpkin pie? Sure that 0-11 Browns record looks like a tasty meal, at home or on the road, the Browns are inept everywhere. However, only two NFL teams have gone winless in the Super Bowl-era. Actually, before their loss to the Steelers a week back some computer sports group put out odds the Browns only had a 20% chance to lose ALL their games. This seems to be telling us that yes, indeed, there is a hand grenade aspect to today's game. If the Giants lose to an 0-11 team in basically what should be a free win, one wonders how that plays out over the past month of the season. Does everything go into the toilet?
Relax, Johnny's been a Browns fan forever and you Big Blue fans have nothing to worry about. Do you have serviceable, ne, good wideouts? Well then Eli Manning should carve up a suspect Browns secondary like cake. The Browns offer little to no pass rush, Eli should have all day to make things look good on the offensive side of the ball. The Browns can't stop the run either so make sure to throw some ball control in there too. Defensively the Giants will be going up against one of many Browns QB's; Is RGIII back? McCown? Kessler? Kosar? While they can't run the Browns can pass a little and have two actual NFL-caliber guys who catch what gets thrown, Pro Bowl TE Gary Barnidge and breakout former OSU QB Terrell Pryor. Pryor is a big target and strong, capable of breaking tackles. This IS predicated on the idea the Browns QB's have any time to throw the ball. Why do the Browns start so many quarterbacks? They all get ground up by the opposing pass rush. The Giants front four should have a field day.
Yeah, not too much to worry about today G-Men fans, unless they start fumbling the ball, Eli decides to play blindfolded, they drop punts or get lost before the game and head over to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Jets and Giants football GAMEDAY!
What a glorious morning out there today Jersey City, perfect for getting in brunches, dog walks, the Sixth Borough Market at the corner of Bay St. and Marin, the last outdoor market of the year, and any projects you may have. Again, a great day for getting those Christmas lights up in October. You'll wish you had this day back in late November. What's a month between friend anyway?
OK, football and nowhere is football less appetizing than in Cleveland today, where the weather will be awful and the teams stinky. The Jets roll in with a cool two victories while Johnny's Browns have NO WINS and Johnny sure hopes that keeps up today. The Jets stink, let's face facts. BUT with a third win today they move three games up (really four with head-to-head tiebreakers) on the Browns for that tasty first overall draft pick in April. Honestly today nobody in Cleveland, with the Indians on the brink of a World Series title vs the Cubs tonight and with the Cavaliers title in June, NOBODY FUCKING CARES if the Brownies lose 47-0, the coach up and quits and the fans riot. Today would be a perfect day for the Jets to roll in, play fundamentally sound football, don't turn it over and go home with a win.
Of course it's never that easy. While we're not sure who the Browns BQ will be today on the Wheel-O-Starters, might be Tim Couch, Brady Quinn or Jeff Garcia. Might be Josh McCown or might be Terrell Pryor. The fact it it does not matter. If the Jets can do any kind of job stopping the Browns on the ground, they stand a great chance. If they can run, and trust Johnny when he tells you this, there are good high school teams who can run on the Browns, the Jets should stand a great chance. Not that Jets fans shouldn't watch today, the Cleveland 11 comes up with stupid and unique ways to loose weekly but the Fearless Forecast says go to a cider mill today.
