    Though the article might be telling the truth, we still lost the game... and our record is 1-11. Bottom line.

      Granted, I liked the way we played in the Chargers game... Roth and Trusnik (sp) were nice pickups.. but the game plan v. the Bengals was a disaster coming off the Lions... and for all Mangini's kudo for Robiskie and Harrison (who blew up his man with a block on the 43 yarder), where the heck have these guys been all season... Mangini's trying to put spin wherever he can...

        What would winning the game have done? Nothing drastically different. We would have just been 2-10 instead of 1-11. I'm not saying that I like us losing, but I'm also not getting pissy because we're having a god-awful year. We have god-awful players, a god-awful OC, and no GM whatsoever. Going into this season, I knew we would be knocking at the door of a 2-14 season. At least we're actually following a plan and trying to develop an identity. It's better than the shit that's been put on the field for the past 10 years.

          Robo had to "earn" his time by commiting to special teams..Mangini understands Robo was a 2nd rounder and instead of just letting him play to save face or his ass, he had the balls and intregrity to sit Robo until he proved he belonged on the field..f**kin A to that !!

          Harrison's pass blocking was brutal and he was getting both QB's killed in early games, apparently Mangini sat his ass until he made a commitment to be a total player..did you see Harrison pass blocking vs SD..freakin awesome! Its exactly what a coach is supposed to do.

          These are the intangibles Mangini has brought to the Browns..This is good stuff and how you build a winning franchise

          for the long haul..discipline,accountibilty,toughness,play hard to the final whistle.

          Mangini found two guys on the street (Roth and Moore) who are pretty damn good.Mangini type guys

          Look the roster is in need of play makers we knew that before Mangini arrived, the two we had(K2 and BE)

          were selfcentered schmucks and had to go..we all know that. This thing in Cleveland is being constructed the

          right way..no question about it

          I'll give you a perfect example to the fact you need play makers.

          The head guy now at Indy (i forgot his name), he's undefeated right

          Why the hell isn't every paper and and online blog writing what a unbelievable coach he is

          Hell.. a rookie head coach undefeated

          Two reasons.Its doesn't sell papers like trash does and everyone thinks Manning,Wayne, Addai, Freeney

          and the beast of a DT are the reason he's winning..not the coach.Hell I thought the old white guy was the`coach

          not the old black guy..lol .Not until I saw the`Indy game the other night. They barely showed the guy on the

          sideline during the game..hell they show Mangini every 3 seconds

          Point is you need playmakers and it takes time to develop and accrue such talent

          Troy polomu is considered one of the best SS in football..He played nickle and special teams

          his 1st year...just sayin

            Mangini is the worst coach hire of all time...and if lerner retains him he gets what he deserves...an empty stadium and a losing team to dig deeper into his pockets...

            If mangini had let daboll go and had handled BQ right amongst a couple dozen other idiotic moves ,perhaps many people would feel differently but he didnt ,instead he chose to waste my time for 13 weeks watching my team sink to new lows and watching ex-jets and rejects like poteat play under a system that doesnt match the players he himself brought in instead of seeing rookies bond and a team moving forward ,his idea of rebuilding over the longhaul is the same as rebuilding since 1964 ,its more intended at keeping him and daboll employed for years as opposed to whipping the team into shape..this guy is a real snake..a wolf in sheeps clothing...

            Keeping this guy just to stop the coaching carousal wont work out well for anyone..we need the right people from top to bottom ,in that order...

            We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

                Well the team not giving up means that maybe the players are buying in to Mangini? I've waffled 20 times on this, Mangini needs time. And hell, now that we are showing signs of putting a NFL team on the field, maybe this thing COULD turn around. That is all I was asking all along. Wow having a TE that can catch makes a huge difference. Maybe that is what Mangini is doing, weeding out players that whine and can't make plays. Scout players in college that can make plays?

                Does any one know why we dropped Rucker, from what I saw dude could catch the ball?

                  I think the fact that the team is still playing hard is a positive for the coach and he should be back next season.

                    I'm split on Mangini. On one hand we're terrible, and we have shown some of the worst performances of all time I can remember seeing in the NFL in my 30 years on this earth.

                    On the other hand, we are improving (whether or not this is a fluke or actual improvement remains to be seen). Also, as bad as we've looked, 1 year isn't a fair judgment for any coach, especially given our talent level. Finally, I'm not sure who we'd hire if we can this guy. I'm all for it if we can get a guy like Holmgren, but if he and the other big names turn us down (don't see Shanahan or Cowher coming here) I think we should see what happens next year.

                    I can be easily swayed on this matter though.

                        ...let's see. Fire your OC at the beginning of the season? A lot of good that did for Tampa and Buffalo. You consistently inundate us with these moronic points of view and if he'd fired the dude, he'd be "disloyal" or "waffling";

                        I don't see the QB controversy as a disaster from a coaching standpoint. It was a disaster from a talent standpoint. As much as DA sucked, BQ didn't do anything to show he belonged on the field either.

                        This site needs an "ignore" button so I can ignore moronic idiots like you. Isn't your mama about to put you to bed little boy?
