  • Extremely disappointed in Bess

    Here site that does advanced stats on WRs.

    http://wp.advancednflstats.com/playerstats.php?pos=WR

    Out of 80 receivers

    In the category "win probability added"

    8. Gordon

    74. Little

    78. Bess

    "expected points added"

    14. Gordon

    74. Bess

    80. Little (dead last)

    "yards per target"

    10. Gordon

    78. Bess

    80. Little (dead last)

    "catch rate"

    56. Gordon

    71. Bess

    80 Little (dead last)

    Summary: Bess is having a really bad season and Greg Little sucks balls.

    If they traded Gordon I think I would take a bullet to the noggin as opposed to watching this offense without him the rest of the year.

  • I don't get how Bess goes from one of the most trusted 3rd down sure handed guys to what we've seen this year. There's nothing more frustrating than a NFL WR not catching the football.

  • Last year he ranked 12th in win probabilty.

    He was a smart free agent acquisition.

    He just happens to suck this year

    Maybe it's the gloves.

    Cause it ain't the QBs ... he drops all of their passes.

    Hoping he gets sync now with Camps, we need a good second half from him.

  • If bess can't catch that last ball on sunday, i really don't know what he can catch. A soft lazy spiral over the middle that you are literally sliding for and it lands right in your basket....what can you catch if you can't catch that? What? A weeden shovel? Maybe weeds can teach campbell how shovel flick and Bess can be that guy....otherwise wtf?

  • If Chud doesn't bench Bess he might lose the locker room a bit. He has sat Little for less and I still hate coaches, even though I didn't want Shurmur fired, who back a player who stinks. I love Bob Stoops in the fact he says, "yeah he played terrible".

  • He won't lose the lockerroom over that. If you ever played sports you'd know a lockerrrom tends to pull around a player who has a bad game. They know what he can do and as players who have played, they also know that next week they can be the guy to have a bad game.

    Trust me.....players support teammates. They aren't going to revolt if Bess is in the game, just like they won't laugh if Weedend sees more action.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Well, then I am disappointed with NFL.com. He caught it and started to run with it.

    Muffed punt
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    In American football, a muffed punt is defined as "touching of the ball prior to possessing the ball."

    A muffed punt occurs when there is an "uncontrolled touch" of the football by a player on the returning team after it is punted. This can occur when:

    • The kicking team interferes with the other team's right to catch the punt
    • A player on the kicking team is struck unaware by the football running down-field to cover the punt.
    • A player attempts to
      return
      the ball, makes contact with it but cannot retain the ball in his hands and it comes loose.
      [1]

    A muffed punt is not a fumble. To be a fumble, the receiving team must possess the football, then lose control. In the case of a fumble, the ball is live and can be returned by the team that recovers the ball. In the case of a muffed punt, it is possible for the punting team to recover the ball and continue the drive, but at least in NCAA and NFL rules, they cannot advance the ball on that same play. Rules vary by league about how to handle a muffed punt.

    In the NFL, a muffed punt cannot be challenged by a coach for review.

    Sounds a lot like what I saw happen...

    And, yes, I have been known to beat a dead horse or seven...

    I think I still have a flare gun we passed around an audio site I frequent... much more colorful way to go...

    Yeah wtf? Shurmer? You want Holmgren back too?

  • I hate Bess for the fumble but I hate him even more for the drop on the 4th down.

    All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!!

    totally disagree. Even with Campell the offense looked a hell of a lot better than with wheezy. More people in place, and people like skrine and Gipson stepping up it looks nothing like last year

    Campbell wasn't on this team either last year. 2-6 last year vs. 3-5 this year, big difference

  • And Bess says "ill just score twice next week"

  • This is exactly why I hate how Browns fans always declare, "This guy needs to be cut!" after one bad game. Guy did what pros do and refocused and got out of his funk.

  • Most Browns fans are psychotic after following this team for so long. Takes time to heal.
