    The whole world saw McCoy getting hit, but the Browns did not know ! I dont think the Browns are lying, but this incident reaks of incompetence. Do the Browns deserve to be fined for this ?

    Who cares if the team is fined? Really, what difference would it make one way or the other?

    The longer-term issue, Ed, is the team/organization continues to get black eye after black eye.

    No way to repair a sinking ship.

    Not sure agents will direct their cash cows to Cleveland - especially without guaranteed contracts in the league.

    clearly this is a croc of total BS. I wasn't at the game but McCoy was down for an extended period of time, they threw a flag on a hit that got a player suspended for God's sake. I'd assume they probably showed that play on the replay at least a few times. So you're telling me that not a whole staff of trainers, players and coaches thought maybe we should check the guy for concussion symptoms? Come on.

    It's clear what happened is that he didn't show immediate symptoms of it and for some unknown reason to me they though he gave us the best chance to win. The most frustrating part is that what many people brought up Seneca looked strong on that throw and very well have put a TD on the board. THAT'S the issue to bring out of all this.

    Lerner forgot he owned the Browns till this weeks events. Good or bad thing, discuss.

    Still may not remember. Villa plays Liverpool this week. Not a full Derby but still a huge match!

    Once again this is typical '99 Browns/Lerner Organization garbage. I can't believe the NFL and fans are letting this team get away with essentially blaming Colt Mccoy for being lucid and not even discussing a concussion. Holmgren should be ashamed of himself. The correct thing to do is say, "Colt sustained a concussion and our doctors, trainers, coaches and players improperly handled the situation". "We are working with the league and internally to develop a better strategy for dealing with these issues". "As an organization we apologize to Colt for putting him in a situation where his health could have been compromised". Easy as that. Is that so hard. Instead as we've seen with almost every difficult situation this organization has encountered since 99 back tracking, rationalization, lack of accountability and the time honored tradition of saying, "it'll be better tomorrow".

    If u are a real fan then u will know that this incident is a major red light. I dont think that the 99 teams management was this incompetent. And these are the people u trust to take the Browns to the promised land ?
