Game Balls

I give one to Mangini.
The guy takes a bunch of crap yet still maintains direction.
Yup the guy wins one game legit game and we give him the keys to loot the city..nevermind that he has basically destroyed our offense under the guise of rebuilding ,truth is he has no offensive creativity or even any idea of how to run an offense..thats why the jets fired him...but hey we get what we deserve just because we are stupid enough to remain browns fans! hehehehehe
If he can somehow win against both the raiders and KC then i would have to say i have seen progress....

N.Y. JETS
Offensive Total Yards (ranked): 16th in 2008, 20th in 2009
Rushing yards (ranked): 9th in 2008, 1st in 2009
Receiving Yards (ranked): 16th in 2008, 30th in 2009 (Hi Braylon!)
Scoring Offense (ranked): 9th in 2008, 17th in 2009
Ranked between 9th-16th in all of these major offensive catagories isn't something to cry about. It appears that the Jets have less "offensive creativity" since Mangini's departure, no?

Destroyed our offense? Have you forgotten about least season? Seriously dude your irrational hatred for Mangini is making you look foolish.

is there any doubt that cribbs is the mvp of this team and the best overall special teams player in the league? he does this week after week not only returning kicks and punts, but DEFENDING them as well. he is the best in the league at what he does and it the most beloved brown player since bernie. PAY THE MAN!

agree

I have always been a huge fan of Cribbs & I was upset when they cut Benard earlier...thanks God we have him now. I honestly believe he will be our "pass rushing" LB. I'm excited about Moore too.
Mangini DOES deserve a game ball. I still think he is on the right track with his system. After all, it's in it's FIRST year...how many years did Romeo have to evolve into a 4-12 team? Give Mangini 3-4 years & I'm betting we'll be far better. I say "stay the course".

I agree about all of the game balls. I want to point out one thing though...
How many of these "stop gap" guys came off of the practice squad or the street to contribute? For all of those people who have been ripping on the coaches for running "opportunity periods" with the bottom end of the roster....THIS is what those are for. Seems like there has been some coaching going on. Imagine that....

Good point.
It shows coaches coaching up....working with players they feel have "po".
It's a credit to the staff.
Like them or not, you have to give credit when credit is due.
And for the record, I like Mangini.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

So working a little extra time on your craft can lead to better results...Imagine that!!!

So do I. How can you NOT respect a man who clearly states his principles (as he has) & does not deviate from them? He is consistent & that is what this team needs.

Hines Ward. May his tears nourish the seeds of change in Cleveland and the AFC North for many years to come.

Maybe they even miss Daboll too by the looks of things. This is going to sound homerish and almost foolish but here goes: I'm starting to feel like Stucky is more reliable than Edwards at this juncture of their careers. Keep in mind, we also got Trusnik and 2 more picks coming in 2010 while NY went from 3-1 to forgettable since they designated Edwards as their relaible playmaker. Alot of people were mocking this trade in the media and couldn't wait to show the fans from Cleveland how Braylon concentrates and focuses so much better in NY air. Good luck with that. Football is either your priority or it isn't. When Braylon made football a priority, I saw what he was capable of. Those days are in the rear view mirror. For example, the last time I watched him play a couple weks ago a perfectly thrown pass bounced right off his facemask and he also dropped a slant pattern. Translation: no big plays, no focus - just time to punt the ball again. Dejavue? You bet! It ain't the city - it's the dude and the tude.
The NY Jets won 9 games in 2008 and fired their coach. If that was underachieving, I can't imagine they're ecstatic about where they are heading in 2009.

My awards go to..........
Cribbs. He is definately the most pure football player on this team. He his tough and he carried the team. Period.
Dawson. He just went out there in absolutely popped the ball through the uprights in awful conditions. Obviously, his 7 points were the difference in this game. Each kick was huge.
Hodges. The conditions dictated that this was a game of field position. This guy stepped up.
Pontbriand. My man was on the front end of all the Dawson and Hodges plays. He is the best in the NFL at his position and he makes a difference.
Costanzo. This guy is absolutely amazing. i've been quietly watching #54 on the Special Teams and he is always one of the first to make contact or disrupt a returner. He belongs in an orange helmet.
Our D front 7. Wow. A bunch of no-names that kicked the shit out of Ben and the Superbowl champs. Way to go guys.
Coach Mangini. His team is getting it.

Where is the evidence of the Mangini statement ? Last week when SD Took their foot off the GAs ? The Lions Game ? OK THIS WEEK YES and Maybe the Bengals Game. I just don't see where Mangini is defiantly On Track yet. Now a couple weeks more like this... Ok . Just seems that ONE Big win over Pittsburgh has turned Mangini into a Savior all the sudden. Not sure all of Browns Backers of America agree on this point.

I think we're all forgetting the secondary.
A good number of sacks came from the inability of Big Ben to extend the plays waiting for a receiver to get open.
He almost never could do it last Thursday.
I think there have been a lot of drills during the week to prepare for that.
So I'd probably not give the secondary a game ball, but I'd give them a honorable mention.

you need to add in all of Brady's anemic first games to really see the progression.
