    hoyer has been solid. The offensive play calling has been questionable. The defense could be coached alot better

    Exactly. Hoyer isn't the problem.

    The defense is aweful. They continue to get burned on misdirection plays, and they still have tackling issues. And when the game is on the line, just look for whoever Joe Haden is on and throw it there because he continues to get burned.

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • the only statistic that counts is scoring more points than the other team....the good teams average about 28 points a game.....obviously some times they exceed that and sometimes they score less....but if you can average 28 points a game over the season you will likely make the playoffs....

    that said...it always sucks to lose the close ones.....

  • The offense was great most of the game, but started to fizzle out at the end when it counted. The defense fizzled out during the national anthem.

    Giving up on the season already? Because that or a Hoyer injury is the only way Manziel starts this year.

    Our D can't stop the run. The Ravens 4th string RB gashed us for 91 yds on 18 carries and their 3rd down back added 63 on 11. Time for Pettine to retake control of his D...

    Worst I can say about the Offense is that Shanny got too cute too often tooday...

    He established a good ground and passing attack only to follow it up with tickeration after trickeration. Whatever measure of respect we earned form our opponent with our play was pissed away by our play calling.

    I hope you are joking. Hoyer has been solid and isnt turning the ball over. He is definitely not the reason we are losing games. You can hang that squarely on the D and special teams

    Maybe let's not let Brian Hoyer throw the ball in crunch time...

    Steve surely that is sarcasm?? I mean wasn't it Hoyer that led the winning drive in crunch time last week against the Saints? Yes it was.

    No sacks and only 3 qb pressures, and 1 of those was the pick. Terrible job by the defense at getting to the QB

    Why the fuck is Chris Tabor still here even? Him and his squad suck balls

    Yeah, I was simply joking about Hoyer, but I did try to keep everyone grounded this week and focus on the fact that we still have a long, long way to go. Maybe we can put down the Pom-poms this week and discuss football.

  • Sarcasm?

    Not quite.

    Two games when running the ball probably would have taken enough time to be in position to win. Steelers and Ravens. Both time he threw in crunch time both times failed.

    Joe H missing his man by a country mile hurt too but it probably shouldn't have gotten to that

    So Steve is the point you are making that we should have run in those scenarios as opposed to calling passing plays? I can see that point..........

    Yes.

    I thought that was pretty clear.

    Two running plays at the very worst would have gotten the same amount of yards as two incomplete passes and eaten up a lot more time.

  • The last pass he threw should have been thrown. The dumbass announcers don't know enough about game management, so I'll fill those in that think we should've run on 3rd and 7 with 2:08 seconds left and fucked up the time management.

    The 2 minute warning was going to stop the clock. We stood a better chance of getting the 1st down with a pass and not a run. If the pass is complete, game over.

    If the pass is incomplete, then 1 of 2 things were going to happen:

    1) Either the play takes all of the time down to 2:00 (unlikely) and the clock stops at play's end, regardless of the play's outcome. (either on the inc or the 2 minute warning, doesn't matter)

    2) The play doesn't take all of the time off the clock (what happened) and it stops at say 2:04...... Big fucking deal! Since the clock stops after a change of possession any way (after the punt) and the 2 minute warning came while the punt was in the air.............The clock was going to stop anyway.

    The last pass attempt on 3rd and 7 before the 2 minute warning was the ONLY CORRECT PLAY CALL for that situation.

    If you don't understand it, I don't know what else to tell you.

  • Fucking stop with Manziel. Brian Hoyer is this teams quarterback

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Only kruger is getting any joy rushing. Mingo was horrible today

    @londonbrown said:

    honestly he really only got in good once. For some reason I cannot figure out we stood him up ALL FUCKING day. Last year he may not have sacked Flacco but he pushed the RT back into Flacco's face the whole fucking game. He just doesn't rush all that well from the standup, sometimes he stunts inside from the standup and does ok. But in 1v1 straight up rushing he does better with his hand in the dirt. Why, even on obvious passing downs....we stood him and Sheard up the entire game is simply vexing. I'm so pissed at how Flacco was able to walk off our field with barely a ding. So angering.

  • DieHardBrownsFanD DieHardBrownsFan

    I'd say overall our run defense sucks. Our pass D wasn't that great either. We blew two scoring opportunities with ZERO points to show for it.

  • pettine had better step up with his so-called hybrid scheme.

    you have to let sheard and krueger and mingo be at the end pass rushing with their hands in the dirt.

    I think it's also time to start moving Armonty out to OLB to give the other guys more spells. Those guys get more rest throughout the game and we keep our most technically gifted pass rusher on the field on the field more, and also in 1v1 situation on the outside instead of on the line where he has to fight through a lot of double teams. I'd move Armonty between the line and OLB spots throughout the entire game. I'd fucking put him at safety and blitz him at this point, just to let the team know this shit is unacceptable.

    Agreed.. he looks like he's lost half the time and he looks like he's out of shape and out of breath... he has ZERO football instinct, or intelligence for that matter... He blows dawg nutz.

  • This was Mingo's first game back from whatever it was that took him out. I don't think he was 100% in any case, they just had him playing to spell Kruger and Sheard and then go into the by week. He hasn't looked bad though this season. Nobody's really standing out from week to week. In any case I'm not gonna bag on our sack leader from last year 2 games into his season.
