    So this week is a throwback week correct? So along with the uniforms the team has decided to revert to 1999.

    I sure hope its only required for one game...

    this team and season are toast.

    guess burnt toast as the color is dark brown.

    steelers will ovetake us and we'll end up in the cellar again.

    Calm down MIk- can't blame this one on the coaches. Players got demoralized after some fluke bounces. The defense is plenty good enough to win some games- not saying which ones though.

    The defense is still good.

    The Brown pants are still stupid.

    A franchise QB is still needed.

    Take away the 21 points from unforced errors ( two punts and and fumble not including the int) and it's a 21-20 Browns game which most people who predicted a Browns victory guessed . 20 points is around the average points per game for us this season so I'm not too disappointed with this loss.

    defense showed up. offense and special teams took a kick to the balls they couldn't recover from. One of the youngest teams in the league found out first-hand how fast a game can get away from you. If nothing else it was a meaningful game/life experience. Just say fuck it and drive on.

    great song lyrics steve. must be to a country tune. 😆

    take away all the faith an owner has in these so called football professionals and advice from fickle friends and you'd prob have a winning team.

    Actually I think that was a paraphrase from The Honeymooners. I'm stuck in the name Brad Pitt but as I recall Alice answered "You Ralph."

    Take away 2 ints one resulting in a FG the other a pick 6 then whatcha got? It goes both ways.

    It sucked to see the game slip away in about a 10 minute span in the first half, but I still say we're on the upswing.

    It sucks to come out of a BYE week and look so crappy on offense.

    up -13-0 was very promising. my buddy and I were like"fuck yeah" then it became "fuck no"... it was like getting sucker punched from behind.

    Take away all scores and it's a tie.

    The point that was being made is: take out the things that don't normally happen against us (two blocked punts that led to TD's) and it's a much closer game.

    We have a good defense, so taking away those two picks doesn't necessarily fit, since our defense is what is consistently good this year.

    The only things we can really rely on are redzone stalls, strong defensive plays and a big TD from Gordon. The same things we got today.

    Had we not tried to force the pass as much, it may have been a different story. But, alas.

    JC's play today is cause for concern. He looked awful. He lacked confidence, poise and vision, and if he plays like that again, we will lose to anyone, including Jacksonville.

    JC looked like a scared rookie out there. he is a pro and the rain should have not caused all those wild throws.

    2 picks in the 1st quarter with one being a pick six is not normal either. Can't have it both ways.. we didn't really create those turnovers.......more like Dalton just plain sucked.

    Redzone offense was pathetic but JC did miss wide open receivers in the endzone in the first two series.

    He never seemed to even look down field. He was just really, really bad.

    Yeah, it's very unusual for a top 5 defense to record multiple interceptions in one quarter.

    I didn't realize that Dalton just calmly walked the ball over to Haden and put it in his hands, saying "This is for you. Now run it back, I'll block".

    If you believe that blocking two punts in a game is just as common as a top-five defense recording a multi-interception quarter, then you have no place discussing football.

    I'm probably the last person to make an excuse for a loss, but those two plays completely changed the game. It was not nearly as one sided as the score presents.

    Captain Checkdown only throws downfield in desperation.not too hard to play defense on a team with no running game and a QB that only throws 5 yard passes!
