This Offense Really Sucks
-
Mostly a disaster, sure.
But I'd like to make a few dumb observations anyways:
Without Haden, you have a blue chip rookie, and Mcaffaden and whoever else
to help. That's both sides of the secondary. Throws it off badly.
The Rams' defense is one of the best in the NFL, and the Browns have a new system.
Big difference I figure from practice to real play against an oppoenent. both qb's played
a bit better...but the improvement must be a lot more bigtime the next game.
Even Joe Thomas is human, and the qb didn't step up into the pocket. Not good.
Swartz is going to have problems with the best pass rushers often, though, I think. Too bad.
I don't know if Thomas was trying to hedge a bit to help Bitonio, a rookie, out, or not. But Swartz
doesn't have to help out Greco so.... I don't know.
the last game, Pittsburg's offense looked a lot worse. And their defense looked a LOT worse.
Hey, it's exhibtion games. They don't count. And the Browns are just tuning up for when they do,
and not showing much of what they will be doing.
The steelers don't have a new system to hide part of on either side of the ball.
The secondary isn't ready to play, outside of Haden. The lb's and dline are going to rock all season long.
It isn't the regular season, I doubt that Hoyer is allowed to just take off running. These games don't count.
BTW, chip kelly went to an Eagles team that was totally stocked up with talent. The Browns talent is nicely improved.
Not the same deal.

Am the only one who thought the offense looked strides better than last week? The stats aren't great, but the whole unit looked a lot more in sync. Stupid things were stalling drives too that hopefully can get cleaned up. Bad run here, stupid penalty there, and DROPS! That's the most worrisome thing for me, it looks like we lost Little to get the same stupid shit in Miles Austin. Also, let's realize that the Rams are honestly stacking up to be a top 5 defensive unit. Hoyer's int was lousy no doubt about it but his quick decisions were overall good. I was confused though on why Tate wasn't playing a lot, I think he's clearly shown he's the better back for week one anyway.
the sky is not falling guys, preseason is the time to get this shit worked out.

i like hoyer...he keeps a positive attitude...unfortunately, he's just an average quarter back....he'll make some plays...he'll score some points, but at the end of the day he's not good enough to lead the team for the long haul.....manziel's not ready yet though, so starting him probably isn't the right thing to do....cleveland's in a make do situation....you go with hoyer or grossman and hope for the best...while you try to bring manziel & shaw along.....it's ridiculous to expect manziel to have as much success in the pro's as he did in college....in college he was arguably the best ever....certainly the best ever in the sec for two years in a row...you just can't expect that kind of offensive production in the pros...for one thing...a&m ran a 40% more plays per game than an average nfl team.....and with a magician like manziel that equated to lots of point....the pros play that slow, measured tempo, about 65-67 plays per game, per team...while the aggies would run about 85-90 plays per game...it must be quite a shock to manziel's system to be in the slow, yet highly complex nfl style of play...nothing like what he's been used to....we know he excelled in the college style...it's not clear he will do the same in the nfl style....
meanwhile..you think cleveland has qb problems....even hoyer makes rg3 look bad.....shanahan's old team is in a world of hurt at qb...if preseason games are any indication....

i'm tired of this rookie ring around the rosie QB shit. FOs nowadays seem to be befuddled and can't pick a QB in the draft to save their lives. sure you got the can't misses but what does that garner 1 or 2 starters per draft?
i say quit fucking around and get a low mileage vet that has played whole seasons on championship caliber teams and has played against championship caliber defenses.
alex smith anyone?

The problem with that is they get to pick where they play. And even theyre no guarantee. Kevin Kolb anyone?i'm tired of this rookie ring around the rosie QB shit.

Surprising how bad the offense looks considering we have the next Kurt Warner as the starting QB.

Hi. Can't you guys tell whe a team is playing possum? Ryan Hoyer will be another QB like the greatest QB in Browns history, one Brian Sipe. Write it down!

Without better line play, no QB is going to succeed.
Imagine if we had Peyton Manning. He wouldn't last a week.

Maybe this Ryan guy will, but Brian Hoyer definitely will not. I dont think a team that has sucked for 15 years is being purposely awful.Hi. Can't you guys tell whe a team is playing possum? Ryan Hoyer will be another QB like the greatest QB in Browns history, one Brian Sipe. Write it down!

I thought JFF looked pretty good. Think he will turn out fine soon.

One thing is for sure, Haslam doesn't fuck around.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he blows it up if they only win 1,2,3,4 games.
There is no FUCKING EXCUSE for the losing.
Andy Reid took over a 1-15 Cheifs team and those boys played.
Chip Kelly took over a shitty Eagles team and they went to the playoffs.
So far, Mike Pettine is a fucking dud.

It's great that you brought up the Eagles of last year because it's a good comparison - you had a new offence installed, new coaches, and some talent on both sides of the ball and a QB controversy.... what happened - they went 1-3 to start the season with pundits and the twitter-verse piling on Chip Kelly ...than it clicked a little bit , than they sucked for 2 games- than they exploded- shit takes time, and even though it is borderline unrealistic for anyone to expect a total turnaround from the Browns this season, you are correct in saying other teams have done it, so why not us.... however it is an act of lunacy that anyone would expect them to turn it around by the third preseason game...so everyone needs to chill out and actually see how the season develops before calling out the organization...
PS The Chiefs are not a comparable situation because Andy Reid had been a successful head coach for a long time and a solid QB who knew the offense and there was no question he would be #1 QB...
Eagles:
QB Competition between Vick and Foley
Talented play-makers on offense and defense
First time NFL Head Coach
New Offense
New Defense
Started out 1-3 , went to 3-5 - got their shit together - playoffs
Chiefs
Alex Smith Definitive #1
Talented play-makers on offense and defense
Long time winning head coach
Same offense installed as #1 QB's system
New Defense
Started off 9-0
finished 11-5
Browns
QB competition
Talented playmakers on offense and defense
First time NFL head coach
New offense
New Defense
Started off?
Finsihed?

We also have the next "Johnny" come lately.

I think it would also be a good idea to point out that San Fransisco just scored their first offensive touchdown of the pre-season yesterday. Their offense appears to be quite putrid as well.
While the passing game is nothing short of below average, they do have a very effective ball control offense based on the run game that's yielded great success the past few seasons.
Again I'm willing to withhold almost all judgement(s) until we see how this team performs in the regular season. It wasn't but this time last year when Weeden was looking like a fringe pro-bowler.
