    I popped in and out Sunday so maybe I missed something but I don't recall seeing any screens or draw plays despite the fact that Dorsey was in trouble quite a bit. No sweeps either- when Lewis can't go up the middle that's pretty much the end of the running game.

    I pray to Jesus everytime the Browns throw that slant pass- how can a defense not be sitting on that play. It's a miracle everytime that pattern results in a completion.

    It looks like a high school offense out there.

      A few weeks ago the argument AGAINST firing RAC in the middle of the season was that there was no one to step in and replace him. There might not be anyone who can do any better, but there also isn't anyone who can do any worse. 4 straight weeks of ugly hopeless football is no way to strengthen a fan base.

      The blame for this season falling completely apart rests with Savage. I want him out of here as soon as possible, plain and simple.

        Ever wonder how Jeff Davidson was such a bad OC here, but goes to CAR, they allow him to develop, and now he is 10-3?

        I say give Chud another chance. He showed me some things that make me think he needs a 3rd season.

        Not gonna happen, but I would like to see it. It is not like his current HC could teach him how to grow as an OC. I mean we're talking about a HC that had Carthon calling plays.

          It's Tucker not being there, and Shaffer being there.

          They did try a screen the last game, to the right, but it was completely blown up by a lack of blocking. Shaffer again.

          and, I still haven't read an explanation why the middle of the line opened up like a sliding garage door right up the middle, when

          Fraley went right and Joe Thomas and Steinback went left.

          And I think Chud is a Dud, that he has his offense so confused, they are just freakin fed up.

          Draft bigtime RT, sign a better center, new coaching staff, maybe Marty to replace Savage.

          When Tucker was holding up the right side, the Browns could run the plays they wanted.

          No Tucker, extremely limited on what they can run, if they can even do that... just like when Shaffer was on the left tackle spot.

          He needs to be a backup OG. That's all.

          And Edwards' drops.

          Seriously, Mr. Cannon Arm Clodhopper at qb averaged 4.2 yards a throw. And a lot of those were frantically in a hurry. That is the biggest

          difference from last year to this year.

            How about the staph infections and the lack of proactiveness that the team showed in getting rid of it ? I mean we have lost KW and JJ botht to staph and that too is contributing to the offensive lack of talent in the playable roster !

              Really? Have you read the stories about the steps the team has gone through to try and get rid of the staph? There was no lack of proactiveness.

              Well perhaps they did it after the infections started, Explain Kellen Winslow and JJ to me. first they have injury and then the delay due to the staph infection. And both were an integral part of our offense last year.

                  steptoe stays; we can't afford to use a draft pick on a receiver when we have other glaring needs that we can't solve by simply re-signing a guy we've already got on the team.

                    Pluto is right. Chud is now looking like the second coming of Maurice Carthon.
