    Browns 87-95

  • Asomugah, Turner, and Metcalf in how many years? Gallery was drafted to be a stud LT, blew dead worms at the position, had to be moved to guard. Janikowski was a monumental reach in the first round. & like I said, Lombardi could just have been Al Davis' coffee fetcher, while senile Al made the picks.

    ONE guy with HOF credentials (Namdi) in 19 seasons? No thank you.

    How many monumental busts?

    My fault. I thought he was decent.

  • If someone wants to look this up because I do not, I called this at the beginning of the year!!!! Lombardi becoming the GM is not a big deal because Saban will have all the player calls. I think Nick Saban would be a great coach. We have his fullback and Runningback already in Cleveland. Saban is a big Defense guy..

    What Cleveland likes

    Nasty defense and a Nasty run offense..SABAN perfect for the Browns....

    There is no way Shurmer stays....Really our only good win is against Cincy.....

    San Diego Sucks

    Pittsburgh Sucks without Big Ben, Palomalo, harrison, Clark

    Oakland really

    Kansas City Really

    What will cost Shurmer his job is the Philly, Indy, Balt, NY, Dallas games all games where we should or could have won. Getting Shurmered is not a good thing. Shit Shurmer tried to lose the Oakland game too

    Kansas City Really

    What will cost Shurmer his job is the Philly, Indy, Balt, NY, Dallas games all games where we should or could have won. Getting Shurmered is not a good thing. Shit Shurmer tried to lose the Oakland game too

    What Cleveland likes

    Nasty defense and a Nasty run offense..SABAN perfect for the Browns....

    There is no way Shurmer stays....Really our only good win is against Cincy.....

    I'm not sold or even on the wagon with Patty boy yet. I'm glad the team is learning to win and from last game, don't let up. But let's be real, the teams we beat stink. I'll have some faith on Pansy boy if we put up a good showing the last games.

  • Who were the players he missed out on? I thought they showed an infographic during the Browns/Raiders game.

  • Why the hell would Saban leave when he's the top dawg in college football? Why come here with the added stress and lack of recruiting advantage. Some coaches are just college coaches and Saban is one of them.

    No, I disagree. Saban, I believe, at heart is an NFL coach.

    Why should he leave college football? Because he is bored there...and if he stays...as I have said before, he should just announce his retirement.

    Actually, bringing back Lombardi would be monumentally stupid. Much worse than the Walrus bringing in Patsy. Shurmur only failed once as an OC before Holmgren brought him in. Lombardi has an unabated record of failure. Puke- giving a job to one of your pals that doesn't deserve it by a long shot Joe? I'd perefer NO ONE instead. Sheeze, the season ain't over- yet. Patsy wins 2 out of 3 and my bet is he earns another year.

    Plus, Saban has flopped once as an NFL HC- no guarantee he'd be any better the second time around.

    As to the HC making the player calls with a doofus GM- I have two words for you BUTCH DAVIS. So how did that turn out?

    Is this truly all you have to contribute? I mean, the vacuous intellectual level of certain Steeler trolls is smoetime laughable.

    There are some really decent ones....Endymion e.g.

    There is Vagitron who is not a totally unfortunate fool...he just often lives up to his name.

    Maybe a few others.

    Then there are the hordes of troglodytes and Simians like you....who are essentially characters from a Stanley Kubrick movie:

  • I'm going to be pissed if Heckert is let go. PISSED.

    Who needs that when you have the Cleveland Shitballs?

    But this time is different right? Huh Yuck Yuck 😵

    Put your money on the table pussy boy. Or shut feckless fuck mouth up.

  • My concern about Saban is that he's a 3-4 guy which our personnel is not currently equipped for. If we switch this off-season our defense will suck for at least 2 yrs.

  • any switch would be a mistake IMO. these guys look confident and are playing well (albeit we beat the worse team in the league BUT hey maybe that's what they thought about us...).

    heckert is head and shoulder above lombardi and saban..? well, no.

    Do you have an NCAA trophy stuck up your ass? Cleveland is the most storied town in all of pro football. WHy would he leave Alabama? Same reason we would drop your wife in a NY pork minute to go chase Jennifer Anniston.

    BIG UPGRADE

    That's your opinion, which is in sharp contrast to the rest of the football fans about Cleveland being A "big upgrade" for saban than bama. We'll see when the time comes

    Why the fuck would you guys want him anyways? He wants toughness from his players but when things get tough for him he bails. He sucked as an NFL coach. Maybe he'd be the next Bill B but I don't want a liar who can't stand the heat coaching my team.

    OK, you bring up a legitimate concern. That is: if he took the job and didn't contend for the first couple of years that he would bail out and go back to some college gig.

    What I couldn't fathom is that he wouldn't at least be in playoff contention with the talent now on this team.

    If he really did fail to contend in his first two years here then he probably isn't cut out for the NFL....and then he could probably go and take the Auburn job which would probably be opening up right around then.

  • Lombardi is a joke. Big downgrade over Heckert. Saban is 61 years old now and will be

    62 next year. How many years does he have left? I don't see the Browns taking either

    one of these guys especially Lombardi. I've already called and e-mailed the Browns

    about my opinion concerning the rumors concerning Lombardi.

    How are we in playoff contention? I am excited we won the last 3 games, but we haven't beaten a play off caliber team yet. We beat the Raider (TERRIBLE), the Chiefs (TERRIBLE-ER), and the Steelers (without Ben, +8 turn overs, and the Steelers may not even make the playoffs).

    Listen, I love the Browns as much as the next guy on here. But sometimes you need to take the Brown colored glasses off. Yea the team has talent now and potential, but they haven't beaten any team worth a damn. They have beaten bad teams, which is an improvement from Browns of the past. But before I say they are playoff contenders, I want to see a win over a real playoff contender.
