starts on Thursday night again. Our guys come in here every week with the mindset of, `Look, we are going to go back out here, we are going to do
CLEVELAND -- Theres a big, fat, ugly, historic zero on the horizon. Browns coach Hue Jackson will do anything he can to elude it.Somehow, someway, we are going to find a way not to be 0-16, Jackson said Tuesday.Theyre more than halfway there.At 0-9 and the NFLs only winless team, the Browns have seven more chances to get that first win and avoid joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams in league history to go without a victory in a 16-game season.After a 35-10 beating on Sunday against Dallas, the Browns have had little time to regroup before playing on Thursday night at Baltimore, where they will look to end their skid and escape becoming the first team in Clevelands 66-year history to go 0-10.As the losses mount, its gotten tougher for Jackson to put on a brave front. The losing is tearing him up, but Jackson knew when he took the job there would be tough days ahead.He just didnt count on there being so many of them.It is about wins and losses, he said. We dont want to be 0-9 right now to be very honest with you. We are going to fight our tails off, and it starts on Thursday night again. Our guys come in here every week with the mindset of, `Look, we are going to go back out here, we are going to do it again, we are going to give you everything we have and we are going to go try and change this. That is what they have been doing.The Browns have lost 12 straight and 19 of 20, a troubling tailspin that has taken its toll on players and coaches who need some reward. Jackson is doing all he can not to let the negativity creep into the locker room.Now is not the time for defeatist attitudes.It is about this team really staying together and fighting together, Jackson said. I think you guys know within these walls is a brotherhood here. We all have each others back. We understand the situation we are in, but that doesnt mean that we arent doing some things better than what we have ever done here. I do believe there are a lot of good things that are going on here. It just hasnt shown up in the win ledger.That is unfortunate because that is why all of us do what we do.Unfortunately, the Browns, who have been ravaged by injuries, missed a chance at win No. 1 earlier this season, when they blew a 20-2 lead as the Ravens scored 23 straight points to win on Sept. 18.That game seems like ages ago, and Jackson acknowledged the Browns are not the same team at 0-2 as they are at 0-9.Much different, he said. Obviously, we have been through a lot of different highs and lows. We are probably more game-ready to play than what we were in Game 2. I know the results do not say that, but I think we understand and obviously, we have played more games now than we did at that point. We kind of know who we are a little bit more and we know what we need to accomplish to give ourselves the best opportunity to win.From that standpoint, we are much further along, but we are not where we want to be and I think we all know that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLUnder Armour Shoes Stephen Curry 3 . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining.

Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. http://www.hfpcm.com/ua-scorpio-for-sale.html . Their experience showed Tuesday as the No. 10 Badgers blunted a Saint Louis surge to win 63-57 and advance to face West Virginia in Wednesdays finals of the Cancun Challenge. Under Armour Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla. Under Armour Womens Shoes . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Zach Terrell is enjoying the perks of being the quarterback of an undefeated college football team.Terrell walked into a graduate-level class at Western Michigan and was greeted by a throng of supporters.Grown men and women gave me a standing ovation, he said. Not that Im deserving, but that was just like, Wow! Weve got vice presidents and people in major organizations clapping for a 22-year-old kid that has never worked a day in his life. That was pretty special.The 14th-ranked Broncos (10-0 overall, 6-0 Mid-American Conference), one of two remaining unbeaten FBS teams, will try to keep their fans happy when they host Buffalo (2-8, 1-5) on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU). As an added treat, ESPNs College Gameday show will hold its broadcast at the Kalamazoo, Mich., campus, a rarity for a Mid-American Conference program.We dont take that lightly, Terrell said. Were proud to have them here. For us football players, its a dream come true. I know it was on my bucket list to go to a College Gameday. Well, College Gameday came to me.Terrell has entered the Heisman Trophy discussion with his 23-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and his 70.3 percent completion rate. But the Broncos needed to rely on their ground game in sloppy conditions in their 37-21 Election Night victory over Kent State.Jarvion Franklin carried 31 times for 134 yards and a touchdown, while Fabian Johnson rushed for 125 yards on 19 carries and another score as Western Michigan rallied from an early 14-0 deficit.The Broncos also have another quality running back in Jaamauri Bogan, who missed the Kent State game with an injury but has 589 yards and seven touchdowns this season.ddddddddddddTheyve got a lot of backs that are playing well, Buffalo coach Lance Leipold said. Each one has a little bit different in their game. Franklins a great package of speed and power, a bigger back. Bogan has excellent speed, and they make great decisions. They see something, its one cut and get up the field and make things happen.The Bulls are coming off a 35-24 loss to Miami of Ohio. Quarterback Tyree Jackson suffered a right leg injury in that game and Leipold said Jackson is questionable to play on Saturday. If he cant go, Grant Rohach will get the start.Leipold expects his team to be fired up, no matter who is behind the center.Were disappointed how things have gone to this point, he said. I think its an outstanding opportunity to play an undefeated team and all the things that are happening there. Its a monumental kind of task but one we should embrace. Its one that we need to embrace and soak up as much as we can as we try to put ourselves in that position.The Broncos finish their regular season against Toledo, the second-place team in the MAC West Division. But Terrell knows the Bulls could be dangerous if his team looks ahead to that showdown.We were in that position a few years ago, he said. They have nothing to lose. Theyre going to come out and give us everything theyve got. ' ' '
