Cleveland Browns & The NFL

Challenge that shit.

ETA: Forward progress is the biggest BS rule of ever.

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:32 pm

After that failed challenge attempt, I think Shurmur almost started crying.

"Coaching is HARD!!"

Yeah, while the Browns were going for the strip, and as the back was still fighting and not down (or being pushed back), the whistle blows before the fumble. Cost the Browns 3 pts.

Wow, Hardesty

Is the D playing looser with hardesty in?

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:37 pm

If this is the Hardesty we'll see from now on I'm all for it. Bout time, just stay healthy and play smart.

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:38 pm

This is interesting. The score of the KC-Tampy Bay game now is listed as 24-4 on NFL.com.

How the HELL do you score just one point?

by **googleeph2** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:39 pm

2 safeties?
Kelvin Garmon still in the league? 2 holds in the end zone?

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:39 pm

I won't complain about that 3rd & 1 play action call. Almost seems like that call worked b/c they earned it with solid running the previous 4 plays.

The score previously was 24-3.

It finally updated as 24-10. Apparently NFL.com has TDs and extra points confused.

Things are starting to come together.

Excellent play call... Watson was completely forgotten. I could've made that pass.

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:46 pm

Hell yeah !

Sheldon Brown finally opened his eyes!

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:46 pm

*Faints*

by **bac5665** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:47 pm

And I'm at work missing this.

Damn.

by **Hikohadon** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:48 pm

I'll probably regret this, but I don't think even the Browns can blow this one.

Hate to do it, but you have to give kudos to the Shurminator for that one.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I live in Cin. I hate the fu kn bengals

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:54 pm

Rain + back up RB = scary situation even with 10pt lead.

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:56 pm

This may be the longest 5:21 in quite a while for any Cleveland team.

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:58 pm

I understand the approach in passing there, but that play?

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:58 pm

Why pass there??? Run the clock down!!!

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:00 pm

No doubt in my mind Cinci scores a TD on this drive.

I hate me too.

Why can't I use my powers for good?

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:02 pm

We're playing scared, not to lose.

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:03 pm

Ha Hiko, I had to use my powers to counter act yours.

I win.

STRIP SACK RECOVER RETURN

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:04 pm

Winn is a perfect name!!!!

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:06 pm

Still not an easy decision. Punt or kick FG?

by **FUDU** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:10 pm

That's why I hate the FP rule, that whistle should have blown much earlier on that first down play of Bengals.

by **bookelly** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:11 pm

Holy Shit...we get off the snide!!!

/Our coach still sucks. Shit.

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:14 pm

Congratulations Brownies!

At least this team shows potential at times and plays hard.

by **drum** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:14 pm

hopefully this win doesn't delay Shurmur's exit.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 5:16 pm

Alright Donny!

Throwin' rocks tonight.

Since I now believe Shurmur will quit, I believe this only delays it by about a week, two at most.

Why would he quit?

The losing will return, and he'll pull a Butch Davis. He looked/sounded like he was on the verge of a breakdown last week. It only will get worse from here.

My favorite part of the game today was, with about 11 minutes left, after watching the Browns 95th consecutive 3 and out, and watching the Bengals play their usual disjointed, dopey Marvin Lewisesque brand of football, Sollie Wilcots announces heartily;

"That's what the Battle of Ohio is all about."

Christ that was bad football.

IDK. The "bad" stretches were indeed horrid. But the "good" parts were entertaining as hell. It's either the blind squirrel finding the acorn, or a young team learning and trying to figure it out.

Cincy was the slump-buster. Maybe the next one will be prettier?

by **Toxicadam** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 10:03 pm

The most surprising thing about this game for me was that Josh Cribbs showed flashes of his old elite special teams self.

by **Spin** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 11:35 pm

I won $20 on a bet that Cleveland would win before the Zips.

Holy hell we had to wait a long time to see who won that one.

Indy got blown to shit by the Jets, I smell a Lou Brown winning streak in the making.

by **Spin** » Mon Oct 15, 2012 3:29 am

Wait, you don't think this saves Shurrrr's job, do you?

Part of the reason for that, he is being utilized properly and seeing less time on offense, as he should. He's staying healthier, more fresh and can focus on just his ST play. I want to see him break just one more for a TD as he is pretty much at the end of his career. Also want to see him regain focus on possession of the kicks he's receiving.

So Weeden learned how to throw the ball away last week. Hopefully this week he learns how to avoid tipped and batted balls.

Running the ball up the middle has not been effective all year; throwing the ball to Marecic hasn't been either.

Defense was very good.

Cooper, Hardesty, Gordon really stood out/surprised me.

It's obviously been said before/goes without saying that if we'd Haden all season our W-L could be quite different, but..... Shurmur still needs to go ASAP. Hopefully we carry this momentum into next week, play sharp, and beat the Colts.

He had to explain to his team that winning a game makes them feel good. Because they were pretty unfamiliar with said correlation. We fought through stuff! We're winners!

He's like Vince Fucking Lombardi on steroids. We can't fire him!!!

by **Gradysmanldy** » Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:39 pm

It's borderline insulting how frequently he uses the term, "Battle"

I know the Cleveland beat reporters are borderline retarded, but still.....stop.

Let's not place 100% of the blame for batted balls on Weeden. Batting balls down is a nice defensive play in most spots, so credit to the DLmen in some instances. It's not as if Weeden is throwing from an angle as Bernie did.
