2014 Week 1 Game Impressions: Browns @ Steelers
-
A loss is a loss. I'm very angry for losing this one. But, brothers, there's a lot to build upon after this game.
Hoyer showed he's the man in Cleveland this year.
We are winning the home opener. Guaranteed.
-
Gilbert was disappointing in the last play of the game. He really looked like a rookie. Hope he will improve.
All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!! -
But there is no way steelers win the division. Browns will win at home. The 2nd half Browns that is

He needs A LOT of improvement. He was out of position on the fake punt, and got smoked all day by the stoolers Wr's . He better get better quick

What a shame that after 40 years as a fan, I create this user name. Ever since the move to baltimore, this team does NOT know how to win. Doesn't matter who coaches or who plays. we used to be known as the cardiac kids. Glad they made adjustments and played their hearts out in the 2nd half, but I'll be honest, I am absolutely fed up with being competitive and still losing week after week and ending up 4-12, 5-11, etc! Many thanks Modell, maybe they should start calling the Squealers the new cardiac kids. P.S. How about the play of Hoyer and our RB's today? With Ben Tate again suffering a knee issue, I think Terrance showed some great moves today.

Rookie coach... rookie coaching decision... should've tried the FG.
Gilbert has a lot of growing up to do. It's going to be tough playing opposite Haden all season. He'll continue to be picked on, and really needs to step it up.
All in all, I'm not happy with a L, but I feel much better about this team NOW than I did at halftime.
Go Browns!!

Oh yea, you got it all figured out after week 1?
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

Haden didn't look too good today either. But improvement like a mofo in the second half. I expected to lose this game by a lot more points. I think we take them at home.

I absolutely do not understand how you do not try a 54 yd. game winning field goal with no wind and sunny skies 70 degrees to win the game with 4 minutes. Perhaps that is a head coach with a defensive mindset. Either way, if we pin them at the 1 yd line Big Ben will still burn one of your younger DB's to get into FG range.

But Pettine and his staff showed today they are good enough for the NFL. Although I'm sad for this loss, I'm very positive for our season after today.

Teams make adjustments all season long. The steelers killed themselves with penalties in the second half and couldn't get the defense off the field as a end result. All of which lead to a run down defense in the second half.

Shanahan and Pettine, you definitely showed you know your trade. It is a shame that you will both have to experience the "brownscurse." Hopefully, after a couple of years in the brownscurse you will move on to greener pastures, where you can win, and we can bring in the next regime to also suffer the same fate. If Haslam was smart, he would not have bought the cursed franchise. Over time, this will be quite a blow to his ego. Did y'all see how redfaced he was in the booth when we started launching the comeback. I'd almost rather have had them flop like the old "Aints" of the 80's with their brown paper bag fans. At least, then, we could have an excuse (lack of player talent, coaching, etc). Bottom line is: We have talent: and great coaching. What I do know is this: With Brady or Peyton or Drew or Ben at QB, and Dorsett, Franco, Peyton, Dickerson, et al at RB, and Lynn Swann and Antonio Brown and Fitzgerald at WR, -- we still lose this game if they are in a Browns uniform. The curse lives on. Maybe I should embrace it instead of feeling frustrated.

You know guys I'm just so damn tired of talking about the "moral victories" season after season. It sucks, they looked good sure but the game was there to win. The browns, per the usual, played not to lose and lost the game. My only hope is that becomes a mistake Pettine makes once.

And had we tried and missed the FG and the Steelers scored after being given the short field what woulod the two of you be saying?
I could not disagree more. Based upon what the D had done all 2nd half long... including the prior series where they had to shut down the Steelers twice due to the 4th down conversion n the fake punt... it was the right decision.
If there was an error it was in not staying with what worked on both sides of the ball late in the game.

Steelers played pinned up against their own endzone too many times In the second half and there is nothing slow about the steelers defense. We were giving up stupid penalties. Just gotta clean up their execution.To vagitron,
Guess we will call it a draw. Lol
Go Browns. Steelers are inconsistent and slow on D

Bullshit... you came out of halftime feeling the game was won and got your ass handed to you in the second half.
See you in a couple weeks...

Today is the first day I have actually considered removing my Browns License Plate (and I live in Nacogdoches, TX) Perhaps if I burn it, the curse will be browken. ha, ha

With all due respect, this curse thing is bullshit.
