Cleveland Browns & The NFL

All that hard work by Haden gone with one fuck-up.

by **gotribe31** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:02 pm

Donovan said Haden just didn't get lined up...true? What happened?

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:03 pm

I've never seen that before. Snapping the ball while the D is still in the huddle is brilliant.

Yes

Defense wasn't set.

They were still in the huddle. It was almost comical........ unless you're a Browns fan.

Terrible

I realize Massaquoi had a step, but that's a terrible decision on 3rd & 10.

And a terrible throw no matter the situation.

fuck cincy.

by **shamwow imitator** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:10 pm

Thanks for running out-of-bounds, dumbass

by **pup** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:10 pm

Another shot Colt.

by **scrambler** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:12 pm

It's unfathomable we have a chance to lose at home to a team qb'd by Andy Dalton and Bruce Gradkowski. Oh well, maybe we score here.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:12 pm

OMG...... Only in Cleveland can our own guy end a great return with a block.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:12 pm

Way to be a man and smoke the punter, Greg. Lucky that wasn't 15.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:14 pm

Nothing moves the ball quite like the 2 yard pass.

by **ShadowDawg** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:15 pm

We officially are in the Luck sweepstakes

by **bucknutz94** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:15 pm

wow. two ugly series in awhile. might have sent offensive football back a couple decades. par.for.the.course.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:15 pm

That was an horrific possession

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

by **mshaeffer** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:17 pm

Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again Cleveland. They are the WORST 4th quarter team.

by **scrambler** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:17 pm

I guess we're supposed to say it's early in the season. And playing the Kerry Collins Colts next week, may be another chance for a W!! yeah, that's it.

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:17 pm

How 'bout that 2nd quarter fellas?

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:19 pm

Fuck this team.

by **scrambler** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:19 pm

crap, my fantasy opponent this week had Benson, that was massive points right there!! I don't give a crap about the Browns loss. I'm toast now.

by **scrambler** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:21 pm

What happens when we start playing teams that actually have NFL quarterbacks on their roster?

At least you didn't pick up KC's D thinking Buffalo was a great match up.

by **OrganFreeman** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:22 pm

Nobody gives a shit about your fantasy team.

by **bucknutz94** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:22 pm

suicide pool. done.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:26 pm

WTF was that?

by **Triple-S** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:26 pm

I've grown tired of waiting for this shit.

You get the ball at your own 40 and you're not able to get more than 2 yards on a team that boasts having an over the hill nate clements at corner?

You let Cincy, a team full of felons and guys who have low wonderlic scores out smart you for the game winning score?

You don't fix the right side of the o-line even though it was clear that was the entire off-season that was perhaps the worst position on the team by far?

I know the higher-ups say to be patient, but seriously? I've heard that line for ten or so years. I want to see a winner, I don't want to see what I saw take the field ever again.

and it's not that I'm going to quit being a fan, but jeeze, a win today could have gone a long way to show me that it had been worth it and that we're in the right direction.

by **ShadowDawg** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:27 pm

Where is my paper bag...this is 1977 Yuckaneers bad...why I subject myself to this shit for the last 12 years is beyond me.

by **mshaeffer** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:27 pm

whole lot of give up on the field right now

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:32 pm

Bruce Gradkowski just knows how to win.

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:33 pm

Bright side: The Browns on pace to receive the top 2 picks in the 2012 draft.

by **scrambler** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:36 pm

Looking at the schedule, I thought even if we're pretty bad we should go 5-6 or 6-5 those first 11 games before the December schedule suicide drill. My bad.

by **leadpipe** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:51 pm

Meh..... whatever good...whatever bad....

Maybe I'm gettin' old, but I'm sick of waitin'. Sick of having Sunday at 1:00 being the shittiest football I watch all weekend.

Cause make no mistake about it, that was two shitty teams, playin' a shitty football game.

Effin' waste of time.

And I'm sick of the only talk on the boards being about draft picks, or if we've ever heard of a guy playing line for the Browns in the fourth quarter.

Bruce Gradkowski and the Bengals get the best of you at home? Definition of bad football.

by **comish** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 6:05 pm

Or the 2,000 penalties in the first half

This is why I engross myself into FF, otherwise the cat is permanently limping

:bag:

So fed up

by **pup** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 6:22 pm

An absolute pathetic performance. Any sugar coating or excuses about short camps and new system or blah blah blah.

Simply pathetic. Countdown to new regime begins in week 4. Fantastic.

Another new regime?

Sweet.

by **comish** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 7:08 pm

I am certainly not advocating another regime change....

BUT

9 penalties in the first half? (Pre-season we saw this too) Our head guy needs to get that corrected AND SOON!

Looked to me that ONCE AGAIN we have a signal caller that is playing not to lose....BRUTAL :pb:

by **DrPoove** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 7:36 pm

Embarrassing. Plain and simple. You get your hope up that this organization will finally get it right and you get this. This game was going to set the tone for the whole season more so than most with the front loaded schedule. It was either going to be a building block for the next 10 weeks or the beginning of a long, long season. Unfortunately, it is the latter.

:bag:

by **General** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 8:09 pm

7 penalties in the first quarter. Pure gold. Another year of suck. Why didn't I make the break in 1995? I hate the Browns. Peace out.

by **Triple-S** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 8:36 pm

some random thoughts upon reflection..

A.) I wasn't impressed with the Bengals, take away some self-inflicted mistakes and we're talking. Only thing they have done right is there d-ends. A better disciplined Browns team wins this hands down

B.) Haden looked great, outside of the one play where he gave up a TD, which again, is purely the fault of the defense napping as a whole, not his fault

C.) If this were against any other actual team (Steelers, Packers), we're simply not having this conversation and acting depressed over it. Rather we'd be discussing how this team is on the up and up.

D.) I agree that Colt is still a major question mark, the offense with him in the drivers seat showed some promise, which is moreso I can say about Dalton who's primary play was to hand it off to Cedric Benson (who should not have been in the lineup).

E.) Jaabaal Sheard had a quietly solid game. Caught him being held a few times. same with Rubin and Taylor.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 8:43 pm

Where's the "Cam Newton is a Bearded Jewish Carpenter" thread? SD is slipping.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with just about every facet of that steaming pile of football. SSDD.

I would counter that any actual team would've had us down 27-3 at the Half.

This team still looks like a freakin expansion team 12 years later. No excuses. I faced better gameplans in youth football. We had more disciplined players. And where the fuck was Hardesty? Made a couple of good runs, and was rewarded with the rest of the day off. Brilliant.

The Brownstains know how to take the heat off of the Bucks and Fickels narrow escape of a second place MAC team.

Every summer I look forward to football, impatient. And every September I wonder why.

by **Madre Hill, Superstar** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 11:57 am

Remember when Mangini had a bunch of guys in here who would play smart and hard? Whatever happened to him and those guys?
