after today's game, i'm pretty sure that

Browns

Is it just me or do we play better when Shaun Rogers isn't playing?

From what I heard on the radio we played better than we have been and against a better team. Sounds good to me. I want to know what's up with the stupid penalties and miscues. Also Wright didn't help and didn't get any help with is just dumb. At least we're not getting blown out like we did last year.

Take one player out of the equation and the Browns would of won. Anquan Boldin was the difference. I think we matched them if not bettered them in most catergories. Definately some positives to take from this game!

yeah man, don't mean this in a bad way BUT time to change that sig.

p.s.: working on a new sig myself. only one player this time. yeah it's a pic of a pit bull pissing on the face of matt roth.

Nahh man he had a TERRIBLE GAME but im still sticking behind him.

I mean, nobody here can recall such a poor performance from wright so why all the hate? 1 bad game.

Next week he'll be out to prove us wrong.

It's very apparent we're not talented enough to win unless we're perfect. What I'm sad to see is the lack of discipline. The penalties killed us. The play calling is suspect (big surprise). Yeah, it's 3rd and 2 let's throw it deep. WOW.

We owned the clock, owned the ground, owned the turnover battle. Got owned on the scoreboard. No pressure on Flacco and Wright not playing the ball killed us.

We need to have a fast wr that can catch. somebody that can draw double coverage

I know we were all hoping for 14-2, but look on the bright side...13-3 will still get us home field advantage

massbrownsfan

good Game all in all I think the defense Played well.

BrownB499

What frustrates me is our inability to take advantage of opportunities,these guy's have to learn to look for game changing moments

Today it was Ward...Pic 6 in his hand ...and he drops it,

week 1 it was Wright...another pic 6 in his hands

last week...missed FG

Every week there are small windows of opportunity that appear...3-0 teams seize those opportunities

The Steelers defense expects to score points every week,when we adopt that mentality,then execute

we will begin to turn losses into wins

exactly. that is what separates good teams from mediocre, mediocre to bad. good teams find a way to capitalize on every + opportunity. we're not there yet but it's right around the corner.

this team is god awful. not sure what you guys are smoking

but when a stud free agent is available, keep saying "NO Way, He's too Old"

because this team is going nowhere fast

What does that make the 3-0 Chiefs? 2-1 Bucs? 2-1 Ravens? We should have beaten all 3 of them.

Were competing, just haven't found a way to close out the game yet....were light years ahead of were we were this time last year.

completely agree. although it's extremely frustrating to be where we are at right now, we have lost to good teams and overall we are just playing better. I'm really happy with what our defense has become and if we can just finally break the hump at QB and get a keeper along with a playmaker WR i seriously see this team being good in 2-3 years. I just hope that if we're in a position in this year's draft to get a top QB we don't pass on him. Overall despite the record we are playing much much better overall.

I'll agree- and not about taking a seat. Wright had arguably his worst game ever as a Pro- it happens- too bad it had to happen today.

And it's a team game- once again zero pass rush even Derek Anderson can look great when that happens. On the blown TD coverage, Ward was about 1\2 second too late to knock Flacco on his ass- which would have resulted in zero points.

I agree. I think we may have found a QB in Seneca. He was good today against a very good ravens D with our poor receivers. With more time and a true deep threat, I can see Wallace leading the browns for some time.

The team is not god awful, its just not where it needs to be yet and isnt growing and jelling fast enough to compete with our brutal schedule, the same could be said of the coaching staff and their gameplan and stewardship as a whole...2nd year into a rebuild this teams base is solid, now we need some WRs and a fresh set of creative offensive coaches...

1 more season

Now its a brutal schedule? I thought this was supposed to be the Browns 1st real test and they would be 2-0 before today. What was today some kind of moral victory?

Hillis played great thats true but just like those who say Wright just had a bad day he'll show us next week the same could be said for Hillis maybe just a fluke and he'll suck next week.

The defense? Baltimore's offense is terrible and still marched down the field.

Still 0-3. Thats all that really matters
