Rise from you fetal position and quit sucking your thumb. Life goes on.

Jaws on Mike and Mike this morning was saying that Freeman was the shit, and after reviewing the game films that he was not the problem... Whatever that's worth....

Yes. Yes it is. I was carrying the Hoyer flag, leading the charge. Now were back to, gulp, Weeden.

Booty Loaf

just woke up to the news. fucking A. we can never catch a fucking break. just sign freeman dammit. sometimes all a player needs is a change of scenery. he's already proven himself in this league. weeden is fucking clueless out there and the offense just stalls when he's at QB. no fluidity. and if we're serious about winning i suggest getting a running back before the deadline too

agreed. But I'm lookin forward to seeing what weeden does with healthy line, josh Gordon, and a rb that can tote the rock more than 15 times a game.

Brown's fans are so fickle... Yea it sucks. Wwwwhhhhaaaaaa.

Weeden comes in and has a 95.4 passer rating after sitting bench because of injury and hoyer playing well.

Not to mention the bills picked off the super bowl mvp 5 times Sunday!!!

And weeden really played a clean game. Jesus fair weather fans get behind ur starter cause u can piss and moan that hoyer is the savior or no. He's DONE!! Period. Give a guy a chance. Maybe hoyer pushes weeden to be good. I doubt it but I'm rooting for the guy.

I don't care what his stats say, Weeden sucks. He has the arm sure but he has a very low football IQ. As an NFL QB you have to be able to anticipate. You have to anticipate blitzes, pressure, coverage, and where your recievers are going to be. He can't do this right now. I'm definitely pulling for the guy and I hope he proves me wrong but I hate watching him play due to my frustration levels going through the roof.

Freeman not wanted by any NFL team. That's one of the reasons Tampa paid him to go away. I don't think it would be a good idea to bring this head case in.

no shit, I am still very optimistic at taking a shot at the division. It's not like we're not in 1st place or anything. Weeden looked like Weeden yes, but he got the win. If he steps it up just a little and continues to play turnover free, we are still in the drivers seat

Technically our DST got the win. 14 Pts from Benjamin and Ward made the difference.

Granted, we handed them two touchdowns, but the fact of the matter is that our offense did just enough to not lose.

I'm worried for our chances here on out but if Weeden continues to play efficient football, we should be okay.

You see how fickle the browns fans are. Weeden puts this team at a serious risk to lose fan support with more poor play. They're going to need to go get somebody.

I was seriously ready to stop watching after two games before Hoyer. This league is about QBs and Weeden is awful. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but we already know he sucks.

good coaches make the adjustments that need to b made to win.

Weeden is painful to watch, he sucks. We have no choice other than signing someone else, and I doubt the FO does that.

i have faith this FO will do what they know is best for this team and winning. if they think freeman or someone else is they will pursue.

We look forward to trying to make the playoffs with Weeden as our QB....just like the plan was in the beginning of the season.

Weeden needs to step up.

The Defense needs to step up.

The Special teams need to step up.

They all did that last night.

The Browns play in what now seems a somewhat weak division.

They may...right now have as good a shot as any team in this division to take it.

Last night a graphic showed that 51.3% of all teams that start 3-2 make the playoffs.

So, we still, to my mind, have about a 50/50 shot.

We got 4 games left against the other AFCN teams.

I see no reason why we should not split those 4 at minimum...or go 3-1.

So....we will look at the draft in mid February.

That is what I see as the plans going forward.

who said he's a locker room cancer?

Life goes on and the Browns season will go on. They found Hoyer, and there's more out there. Getting ready for Detroit and fitting the offense around Weeden and finding a 3rd QB is doable in 10 days.

Adoug319

Of course that's the easy thing to say but... You have to think that if Hoyer led us to 10-6 (which I think he would've) and Into the playoffs, it would be a whole different draft scenario. Now we haven't seen enough of hoyer, so if weeden stinks it up, do we go all in for a QB? And does this mean Hoyer is done in Cleveland? I certainly hope not.
