Cleveland Browns & The NFL

by **LakeErieWarriors** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:09 pm

First game under the new regime is a winnable one.

Key players out are Massaquoi, D. Patterson, Fujita, A. Smith, J. Pinkston, and if we're lucky, G. Little.

Might go real easy on TRich and his ribs, but the way Hardesty looked last week, I think we'll be alright in that department.

Last spread I saw was Browns +1. Me and a guy from work flip a coin each week to see who gets what team. I'm 0-5-1 this year, and have the Browns today. Let's see if they'll finally win me some money.

GO BROWNS

I generally have hope until the game starts.

D looks like shit so far

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:15 pm

No Hope so far. Looks like Arians is still running the Steelers offense against us.

Last year much was made of the high ranking our defense had but we couldn't score so teams didn't have to rack up points. This year we can score and our defensive rankings have fallen to second worst in the league.

anndd we just gave up a 7:30 minute 80 yard drive where the defense accomplished nothing.

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:15 pm

I think I knew Luck was going to take that in himself before Luck did. As soon as the coverage opened up, it was RIGHT THERE.

by **Fire Marshall Bill 2.0** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:27 pm

Every single fucking 1st down has been TR for 1 yd

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:28 pm

Richardson not looking 100 percent.

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:29 pm

Weeden had too much time to make a dumb decision there and almost threw a pick in the endzone.

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:32 pm

Jeez that was a fast quarter

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:36 pm

Should be seeing Hardesty/Obgyn splitting the ball carrying duties today. Sit Trich he's still hurt and very tentative with the ball.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:38 pm

Watson! I got up for a beer and must have missed a penalty WTF?

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:41 pm

Not-Son Ticky tack refs throw that flag on Cribbs. Now we gotta sweat out this replay on the Little TD......

by **LakeErieWarriors** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:41 pm

Greg Little proving that the sun shines on a dog's ass every once in awhile.

Play stands, for sure.

by **Fire Marshall Bill 2.0** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:43 pm

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:43 pm

Of course we have a bad hold. Why wouldn't we?

The stink of the Lerner era still lingers. Might take a few more weeks to air out.

The only difference I see between the real and replacement refs is that the real refs are simply quicker making their f-ed up calls. They aren't any better, they just don't delay the game as much.

by **jerryroche** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:45 pm

Two guys gotta be gone, the sooner the better:
1) Owen Maricic: stone hands, and did you see that non-block on the TRich run for -3 at the 1? The guy hasn't done jack all year.
2) Reggie Hodges: stunningly, consistently terrible punting this season, and now he drops a perfect XP snap.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 2:49 pm

This is eerily like watching the Buckeye defense.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:05 pm

It's dink and dunk time mutherfuggers!

by **jerryroche** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:08 pm

Third and one, another missed block by Marecic. And the hits just keep on coming...

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:08 pm

Not sure what that last drive was trying to accomplish, but it certainly wasn't succeeding at whatever it was trying to do.

Confused?

So was I.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:10 pm

I question that spot. Should have been a first down. Refs are doing a bang up job today.

by **fairvis** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:13 pm

Man, Luck has a set of pipes on him. How many times does that not work? Freaking Browns.

by **bac5665** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:13 pm

Our defense is embarrassing today. This is bad.

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:15 pm

Can someone please explain to me why one victory against the Bengals means anything now?

This team still sucks.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:18 pm

At least Houston is beating the shit out of the Ratbirds.

by **fairvis** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:21 pm

OK, Pat. Actually commit to going for a TD here. Don't puss out.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:21 pm

With 1:43 left in the half the Browns are running an offense that will get to the end-zone in 5:34.

by **Fire Marshall Bill 2.0** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:23 pm

Turn out the lights...the party's already over

Buh-bye, Fritz

Buh-bye, Dick

by **fairvis** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:23 pm

Should've been a Brady Rule penalty on that leg takedown on Weeden. Twisted after the play.

by **justmebd** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:24 pm

Wow. Fucking pussy. I hate Shurmur. Score some points JACKASS!!

by **googleeph2** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:24 pm

You guys are not as aggravated as me. Lord knows I should know better than to let this team get to me.

He pussed out. Figures.

by **Gradysmanldy** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:26 pm

That was some of the most uninspiring play calling ive ever seen from Shurmur, and that's actually saying something.

Defense looks absolutely awful today.

As awful as it looks, they've kept the team in it and only allowed 14 points from 2 long drives. Need to work on getting off the field better.

Shurmur just doesn't know what the hell to do. Either just run out the clock (the Tressell way) or go for it (the Urban way). Trying to go for it by halves is just asinine, and winds up with you getting to the 40 and then pussing out.

More Cooper, more Gordon

by **bac5665** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:44 pm

The announcer just said: "Good block by Mauricic." That certainly hasn't happened before.

by **Gradysmanldy** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:44 pm

God damn I love me some Flash Gordon.

by **municipalmutt** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:52 pm

Good halftime adjustments on defense here.

by **fairvis** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:57 pm

Man, this D misses Taylor and Rubin.

by **peeker643** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 3:58 pm

I thought it worth noting that Bruce Arians tried to out-Shurmur Shurmur at the end of the half with his TO at the end of the first half. Not only did he ensure ham hands Hodges not touching the ball with 25 seconds left but he also ensured only the Browns could score with a hail maty throw made easier by the fact he had 12 guys on defense AFTER the timeout.

Dumbass.

Dumbass.

Ben Roethlisberger is the only reason Arians still has a job. Ironically he also is the reason Arians no longer works in Pittsburgh. If the guy could do his job properly, the Steelers never would have let him go -- something Rapistburger fails to realize.

What is it about a screen pass that is so elusive for us to execute?

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:19 pm

So many penalties in this game, and the Luck knob slobbering.

I'm not seeing much from this team. I'd hoped they would take a step forward today.

by **Gradysmanldy** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:20 pm

Another shanked Hodges punt. Guy just hasnt had it this year, time to bring in a replacement.

I know. High school teams at every level can do this.

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:24 pm

D stepped up time for the O to score.

I know we don't have guards that can pull and our fullback sucks, but the blocking down field by receivers is nonexistent too. It's like when the play is a screen pass, that receiver is on an island alone.

by **DeanSheen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:32 pm

We deserve to lose this after 3 3 and outs in a row.

Ahh well, blow it up again.
