  • Someone needs to rip Gordons ass after this game. He's obviously crazy talented but the plays he didn't make this game were really, really bad. It's not the reason we lost but damn it's frustrating to watch.

  • Would not be surprised if the Browns lose again next week and head back to the bottom of the North.

  • What a sorry performance.

  • Man that was embarassing.

    Well... seeing as I did not expect great things from this season, even having a couple big games is a plus.

    On the other hand, while let downs, like today's, do sting, on balance I'll take 2013 over any recent year.

    And I think the upgrades are evident...

  • You can't expect Campbell to play outside of his bracket every week. The sad thing is, everybody played below their bracket this week. Add to that the rain, not having a legitimate power back, and the absolutely atrocious special teams play, and it's no surprise that we lost.

    This is the one game all year that I wished we had Trent Richardson on the roster. His 2.0 YPC would have been welcome. Say what you want, but he played well against Cincy.

  • The running backs weren't the problem. They all played relatively well (especially Ogbonnaya). The coaching staff abandoned the run way too early as usual. It looked like the return of the Weeden playbook out there. A disgusting showing all around. Too many mistakes. The only real positive I saw was that AJ Green was shut down. The defense played pretty well.

    I did but I can still type. Campbell didn't have a good game, but neither did the wrs. The rare times they showed wide field coverage- no one way open. hence all the checkdowns.

    Can't blame the defense for this loss. How many teams get two punts blocked in the same quarter? Add in a fumble 6. Yes the Bengals deserved to win, but every bounce went their way.

  • Defense good, rest bad.

    Not all on Campbell, but I didn't believe the "check down Charlie " until I actually saw it today.

    The RBs weren't the problem. Not having a power back was the problem. The weather limited out playcalling, having a power back to couple with Obi and Fozzy would have opened up the ground game a bit more.

    Having Trent, or just any bigger back in general, would have increased our chances of getting TD's in the first two red zone possessions that we turned into FG's. Having a player to push the pile is immeasurably important in the redzone, as it forces the defense to respect the play action.

  • the defense really isn't the problem. a couple of picks a couple of tweaks and we'll be top ten.

    it's the anemic offense that has been blatantly fucking bad for years now. holmgren set us back five years. even though there's a wee bit of a running game, it's not enough. our OLine from the center right sux balls. receivers who are mentally not in the game or drop balls that are right in their hands or catchable by people on other team's practice squads.

    sure our QB situation sucks but if norv fucking turner and straw chewin goober can't figure out how to utilize what we have with their combined offensive geniousness (how come everyone is a genious before they come to cleveland and once they get here say "fuck it")?........................

    either our talent on O sucks that bad that there can be nothing done except upgrade every position via draft or FA or they (offensive coaches) should be so ashamed of some of these performances and hand in their resignation papers.

    if horton is destined to be a head coach next year i say WE HIRE HIM!.

  • Two great defenses battled today, the quarterbacks cancellled out. The team with the better special teams and more playmakers won. In short the better team won. This game was a yardstick and it tells us we need a legitimate running game, more dependable receivers and the elusive elite quarterback.

  • Man that Campbell windup has got to make you cringe ... no zip seemed like every ball floated.

    Sucks that such a great game by the D went for nothing... flukey special teams plays cost us a game we should have won.

    Wish the playcalling was a little bit more creative.. would have been nice to see some trips formations with some screens to Little and Gordon to get them the ball the make some plays.. especially Little early on because he would get physical with those guys.

    They need to put Mcgahee out to pasture and let Oby take over full time. Really bad job out of the coaching staff to pull Oby inside the 10 after his long run got us there, should have left him in ..he'd have probably scored.

  • Attention ladies and gentlemen, please buckle your seat belts. We've begun our descent to the bottom of the division. Campbell looked every bit like the qb released from both the raiders and redskins. D looked good, but Horton will be gone next year. Back to talking about which qb we should draft to take the helm of the factory of sadness.

  • But we get to draft a first round QB next year! That should be all you care about! Right Shep?

    Campbell showed us why he is a perpetual backup in this league. If Gordon would actually try he might make a game changing grab. D is stout, but if we lose Horton we will move backward next season. We are what we thought we were......mediocre at best!

  • I can't say I am disappointed in Camps play. He was due for a return to his history of piss poor play. You can't polish a turd.

  • You guys are pitiful.

    We win, we're the greatest team in the world.

    We lose, we're the worst.

    Sack up and take this loss like a man.

    We played like shit, the playcalling left a lot to be desired, and our special teams was atrocious. It's not the end of the world. We still have a good play at second in the AFCN as well as a wild card berth.

    After week 2, who was expecting to be able to say that?

  • Pat Shurmur's fault

  • Remaining schedule has only two teams playing better than .500 ball (CHI,NE) Winning 5 of 6 games while improbable is not totally out of the picture. Browns laid an egg today but who is to say they can't go on a roll. Stranger things have occurred in the this league. A top five defense has some legs. Young Browns need to up their confidence for away games. A win today would have gone a long way but "if wishes were horses beggars would ride".
