    What excuse is it this time homers? We played the best defense in the league? Still learning a new offense?

    This team is still 3 years away from the playoffs, and that's IF we hit home runs in our drafts.

        We're playing like crap. Plain and simple.

        I think this year still has some hope attatched to it, simply because of the schedule, but McCoy's progression, lack of WR depth, and trying to figure out if the WCO is even the right fit for the offense are sadly, all long-term projects.

        After last week I thought 10-6 and now I think 8-8. There will be weeks like this... sadly.

              I've seen more plastic bags flying into the camera's view on the field than points the Browns have.

                you better hope so because that what holmgren and his regime has brought in and i don't think you'll ever see him change his mind and admit he was wrong.

                hey it's still early in the season BUT we played much better last year with a tougher schedule.

                    Should have kept Mangini and his system, this is what you get for changing leadership every couple of years. No offensive line, no wide receivers, Defense is looking pathetic as usual. Oh well. Time for another drink.

                      I do have to say that there is something very much "off" about watching Colt in the WCO sometimes. He literally looks restricted.

                      Mangini's system gave him freedom and without any playmaker WR's, I really think you run the risk of stunting his growth if it's just one checkdown after another.

                        Can someone teach Hardesty how to catch the ball!!

                        Hardesty came from the University of Tennessee so I shouldn't expect much from him.

                          This team gave up in the 2nd quarter. Don't think I've ever seen that before in the NFL. I'm sure there are some high school teams out there that would have at least put up a better fight...

                          It's Tennessee. Not Greenbay, not Baltimore, not New England...but we make every crap team look like a superbowl contender

                              Good lord at Hardesty.

                              Amazingly, if Baltimore loses tonight, we stay tied for first.

                                Its not the wrs calling the plays....its not the wrs checking down, its no the wrs throwing ducks that hang in the air for 5 minutes. I by no means love these receivers, but I see alot of you using them as the scapegoat for noodles. I saw open receivers, and a QB that can't get them the ball. I also saw an OC that has no clue how to call a game.

                                    No excuses. The Browns simply played poorly. On to next week.

                                    The single player that is driving me nuts is Sheldon Brown. He is a 32 yr old vet & got burned for a short TD (AND interfered) without EVER looking back for the ball? Try him at safety or stick a fork in him....he's done.

                                    As far as Hardesty, maybe he should have been pulled due to his drops, but Hillis may still be a little run down.

                                    I'm still a Brown's Fan but I'm also realistic. They are heading in the right direction, but they also have a ways to go.

                                      And we weren't tied for first....we are 0-1 in the division....which tied us with Pitt for second. Now since Cincinnati won, we're tied for last

                                        Why: see the pick returned for a TD

                                          Lots of blame to go around in this one from the playcalling right down to personnel choices and execution..

                                          I am downgrading from an 8-8 season to a 7-9...

                                          This team still has a long way to go and the titans did a good job of painfully revealing most of what needs work to the naked eye..

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