    "His 8.5 rating against the run is by far the best around the league, with Von Miller coming in second at a modest 5.5. Put simply, Mack has been dominant, and he’s just getting started."

    Should have, what if, doesn't matter now. Every team could sit there with heartburn over lost draft opportunities.

  • It's time to let it go with Haden, good lord. Everyone watching the Browns can see he's struggling this year. But the fact of the matter is 32 of 32 NFL teams would take and have Haden as a starter on their team. I don't give a shit if he's "elite", he's a very solid player who is struggling right now. The bye being early this year for the Browns is really, really good for all this. It will give Pettine and crew a chance to look at everything and get better. I'm sure that will include Haden.

    great point about the bye, very good timing. 5% better for the past month makes us 3-0 rt now...and beats tennessee.

    EVERYONE possesses tendencies that show up on film. offense--defense...QB's...receivers...db's everybody...including Megatrons, Ray Lewis'...the Joe Thomas' and yes even the 5th yr Joe Hadens of the world continually have things to correct.

    most certainly capable pick-sixing pro-bowl-worthy A.J. Green-dominating guys that get game-planned around.

    did i mention i love me some Joe Haden? while he may not hit as hard as he would like himself to, he has come a long way since his pair of peach fuzzy years in FL and now...entering the prime of his career in only his 7th year total as a CB...he is at minimum a sure tackler who NEVER shies away from contact or the matchup no matter who it is. dude is 90% of Cleveland's swag. seriously.

    everybody gets beat some times but this is definitely improvable. they need to pin point what some teams have keyed in on and make the necessary adjustments...and my prediction is they will.

    LOL!

    I have to agree with Taco. A victory makes all these petty complaints disappear. Every team has very good players get burned at some point every Sunday in this league. Every team targets rooks in this league for a very good reason. Every QB has an imperfect game every Sunday (I assume you saw King Manning picked off with a bad decision last Sunday late in the game). This team looks like they are on the verge of something special in the next couple of years. I plan to be part of it and I hope folks here will get the cure for Battered Browns Syndrome (BBS) and jump on board regardless of the score. Focus on the changes you DO like. I see a lot of them and it will get better.

    What the hell are you talking about? The title of the thread is The Good, [do you see that?] The Bad, and The Ugly.

    You guys are even dumber than the guys on Dawgtalkers.

    Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.......

  • Khalil Mack would have been a very wise pick at #4 and at 26 you get Gilbert or Fuller. A quarterback in the second round like Garopallo (who looks like a good replacement for Brady) should have been the way to go. Ray Farmer's circus-like maneuvers during the draft did more harm than good. You have to have a good team before you start trading away for next year. The Browns made a statement by trading away the #4 pick for a #1 next year.

    It was a lousy draft considering the huge crop of talent on both sides of the ball.

    And for those who are hating on Mike Evans; there is no quarterback in Tampa!!!

    Evans, Khalil Mack, Ryan Shazier, Kyle Fuller, Carr, Garapollo, kelvin Benjamin all would have fit nicely.

  • The Browns completely blew the 1st round this year but the picks of Bitonio, West, and Kirskey were all good additions.

    too bad we missed out on Mack, Watkins, Evans, Shazier, Fuller, or Benjamin.

    As much as I loved Sammy, when Mack was available at 4, I had to set Sammie aside.

    That said, I still like the move we made trading down.

    Seemed like only two weeks ago accounts were that Mack was looking lost on the field... Wonder what changed???

  • They've played 3 games. 3 fucking games.

    No the fuck they haven't. It's not just 3 fucking games.

    Joe Haden has been here for 5 seasons and looks like dogshit.

    Phil Taylor has been here for 4 seasons and looks like dogshit and never does anything. He was too fat for camp

    Donte Whitner has been in the NFL for how long? He is collecting a retirement check.

    Barkevious Mingo looks worse than both Anthony Barr and Khalil Mack who are rookies 3 games in and look good as hell.

    Ahta Rubin does NOTHING and has been here how fucking long?

    Justin Gilbert looks like a fucking child compared to Fuller, Roby, Dennard, and Varrett.

    Our veterans suck fucking dick this year on defense and it's like nobody cares.

  • The Good- Hoyer played really well, I like the dynamic with Manziel also. It's really refreshing to see a veteran not like Hoyer in here and helping the young stallion get his legs under him. Hawkins has already been the best FA WR that we've ever had, he's also very young and hungry. He's an absolute magician running routes and his hands are exceptional. We will have a very potent WR group when Gordon returns. We put up a huge fight against Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

    The Bad- We lost. Benjamin has lost his flair and his confidence, a change may be needed at returner. Haden got beat for the winning field goal, although Whitner should have been there over the top to cut him down sooner. Rookie mistakes from both the players and the Coaching Staff.

    The Ugly- We're now 0-2 in the division and although we still have a lot of football left to play we need to get it in gear and turn around our record to keep us in the hunt down the stretch. Penalties, flags and bad calls from the refs- They cannot allow WRs to push off our secondary so consistently and continue to flag us exclusively.

    The Forecast- We have 6 winnable games in a row coming up after the bye week and if we capitalize we could really shake things up in the AFCN.

    No we just aren't panicking like little bitches. New coaches and new systems take time to implement. It's called being realistic.

    I can only assume your the type to assume we'll lose if we don't win the coin flip.

    It's pussies like you that give our generation, and our culture in general, a bad name.

    Panicing like little bitches? Our 1st round picks from 2011-2014 are non fucking existent. Joe Haden has been trash. Whitner has been trash.

    New coaches, new systems blah blah blah Andy Reid took over the 1-15 Cheifs and turned them into a playoff team. Chip Kelly did it in his first year with The Eagles. Bruce Arians with the Cardinals. Happens every year.

    It's always fans like you who have a convenient excuse for losing.

    By the way, pussies loved getting fucked, and The Browns defense has been fucked harder than Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.

    So enjoy the losing and mediocrity ya bum!

  • The Good - Brian Hoyer, The entire offensive line, Hawkins, Gabriel, Austin, West, Crowell, Skrine.

    The Bad - Billy Cundiff, Phil Taylor, Ahta Rubin, Mingo, Whitner, Cameron, Winn, Robertson,

    The Uglier than fuck - Joe Haden & Justin Gilbert.

  • ...on a side note, the recent "losing' that we went through on weeks 1 and 3... those were some of the most enjoyable "losses" I can recall. We rallied from a record low at half-time and damn near won the game! And on the second we were landing big blow after big blow and trading punches with the Ravens in a game that we were supposed to lose, damn near won that one too! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and this time(I hope and pray) it's not a train!

    Am I missing something because since when is losing to the Ravens and Steelers in heartbreakers enjoyable?

    No response to the rest of my post? You really are a fucking pussy.

    Haden has had a rough start, true. He's also been good enough in the past to be considered a top flight CB. Every single team in the NFL would gladly trade for him right now. Would you sell your stock in Apple after a few rough days? That's a dumb question as I know you would. Any rational human being would realize it would be fucking crazy to do so.

    Reid got off to a hot start in KC but look at them now. Kelley is an offensive genius who inherited a team with the talent to fit his offense. Regardless, he will eventually have some bumps in the road. Arians will suffer through the same. There is no such thing as perfect. Even the best will falter. It's human nature.

    It has nothing to due to excuses. It's called patience. I know you only became a Browns fan because of JM so this is an unknown quality for you, especially with your complete about face on JM.

    Fact of the matter is, you're a front runner, pure and simple. You literally sucked JM's cock for six straight months but now that he isn't starting, you think we should trade him. Gilbert has struggled as expected and you're pimping every other CB taken in the draft. Haden's had a rough start and you're saying he's worthless.

    Once any of them have a good game you'll be the first one on your knees begging to feel their salty salvation covering your face, claiming you believed in them all along.

  • 1. You're the pussy happy with losing, faggot.

    2. Haden is not a top flight CB and you comparing him to the wealthiest corporation on earth is embarrassing and shows me how fucking foolish you are. No one in the NFL is going to give up a 1st round pick for an average CB with a massive contract.

    3. "It's called patience" heard that since 1999 you jerk off.

    4. I want Manziel to start and he will, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him traded. Never said I wanted to trade him you absolute dipshit who can't read.

    5. You're a fucking idiot, I'll root for any Browns player but I call it as I see it. As I see it, they are overpaid and overrated on defense. It's dumbass sheep like you shoving a 9 dollar hot dog into your mouth inside the stadium with mustard stain on your khaki pants and barrel assed balding head chugging a beer telling everyone to "be patient". Just shut up fatso and realize we are in the cellar again. I'm sure you're one of those assholes who told everyone to be patient with Couch, Quinn, Edwards, Winslow, Warren, Brown, Green, McCoy, Frye, Anderson, Richardson, Weeden etc.

    1) I never said I was happy with losing. I just possess a pair of balls and don't flip out every time something goes wrong.

    2) Did you just start watching the NFL this year? I'm sure you believe Kirk Cousins is the best QB in NFL history then.

    3) Having patience 3 games into the fucking season is just common sense. Another quality you seem to lack.

    4) You sure seemed to get a chubby thinking about the possibility of it.

    5) Oh is someone's feelings hurt? Having to assume I'm overweight and balding so you can attempt to hurl pathetic insults. Has JM not responded to a certain someone's erotic fan-fiction?

    3. Having patience 3 games into the season? We are already 0-2 against our biggest rivals in games we had in the bag. I've seen this movie befor ya fucking dummy.

    4. Manziel is the future. Get over it.

    1) We've lacked the necessary talent to succeed for a majority of our time back in the league. We've also lacked the continuity in terms of coaching and system to build anything sustainable. Every single franchise or program that has been successfully for a long period of time has continuity.

    2) So you did just start watching the NFL this year.

    3) If it were a 3 game season, go ahead and be pissed off. The NFL plays a 16 game season. I'll forgive you since this is your first year watching the game. We all knew the first three games were going to be tough sledding. The schedule opens up from here and we have plenty of winnable games coming up. 1-2 isn't a death sentence.

    4) I was in favor of drafting JM, as long as it wasn't at 4. I also thought he needed to sit for awhile so I'm a happy camper as far as he is concerned. All of this nonsense in the NFL recently making JM's off the field antics seem like child's play is merely icing on the cake.

    5) No, I sound like a reasonable adult who has a semblance of an idea of how shit works. I don't expect greatness from day one because that rarely ever happens. I don't call for someone's head the instance they make a mistake. I can accept that someone made a bad play without assuming they are they worst human being that has ever attempted to play the position.

    It's called not being a bitch. You should try it sometime. I know you're capable of it. You've shown very, and I mean very, brief glimpses of it in the past.

  • ^ You're happy to be a loser. You're happy with mediocrity. You're content with losing.

    That my friends is what I call: A fucking loser.

    I'm so fucking tired of losing. I'm so sick and fucking tired of it.

    And losers like you who defend it. We are Pittsburgh and Baltimore's bitch.

    Ask Joe Haden last year when he cried in the locker room after getting burnt by Cecil Shorts to lose to Jacksonville.

    Haden is also Aj Green's bitch. He's owned him most of his career. Joe Haden isn't very good, at all.
