***Official Browns @ Falcons Game Day Thread***
-
Russell Wilson was 26 TD 9 INTs last year, not bad for not throwing the ball.
Top 4 in passing TDs this year Manning, Rodgers, Luck & Brady...hmmm you're right this is a running league
If you said KC that'd be closer but they have yet to really win anything
Seattle was 30th in total passing offense last year. I see you avoided that little stat.
Rodgers plays on a stacked team but won his SuperBowl when Starks emerged and his defense was #2 in the NFL.
Manning is 7-3 almost 7-4 and the donkeys are looking suspect against Miami.
Luck has an OC that will throw until the kids arm falls off. Plus they have NO running game now.
Brady plays on a run first team and experienced his greatest success on a run first team. He was the one example you should NOT have used.

Total Passing is like Total Defense, misleading stat. The question is can you throw it in the end zone, Seattle was 10th in TD passes last year.
That isn't an answer for Rodgers or Manning both are still in the running to win a Super Bowl this year.
New England's last Super Bowl was 2004 and while I will admit in the early 2000's defense and running was the plan, it isn't now.

Shanny put this team in a position to score 42 pts. Austin drops a sure TD catch and Hoyer throws 2 crucial INTs. As much as Stockton annoys with his bench Hoyer threads, the blind faith in a guy who looks shaky at best is also puzzling. The Browns won so we all should be happy but if you've watched today's game and came away with, we should pass it 15 times a game and run it 43 because that's how you win in the NFL, you're crazy. I agree that establishing the run is important but Atlanta and Cincy have horrible run D's. You can't win in the NFL solely on the run game.
I would love to play a team that you coached. L M A O
Go play more Madden, and think how great you are. hahaha

Top 4 Passing TD Teams Denver, Green Bay, Indianapolis and New England
Botton 4 Cleveland, Jacksonville, Jets and Minnesota
Which group do you want to be in?
And yes Cincy and Atlanta do have poor run defenses, sorry.

Dude, do you even see the irony in your argument?? Hmmmmm, what do you want to do against teams that do something bad???? Gee, I don't know.
Crow had 12 carries for 88yds and 2 TDs. His first 2 carries went for -2 yds, so his next 10 went for 90yds and 2 scores............Yea, why give him more carries?
Game day 'flow' doesn't care if it's 1950 or 2014. Any good play caller calls what works, and if you don't think that running the ball against the league's worst run defense, with a RB that is averaging 9yds per carry over his last 9 carries is the right thing to do, "just because it's 2014, and it's a QB driven league" then I don't know what to do for you son.

San Fran and Seattle would argue against this.

Russell Wilson was the teams 2nd leading rusher behind Lynch, not bad for a throwing QB.

Chicago & Baltimore would agree, they won a Super Bowl doing this.
In 1985 and 2000 but thanks for playing.

Doesn't mean that it didn't happen, how old are you?
I'm guessing about 15.

Can we at least agree on some facts.
*Austin should've caught that pass in the end zone +4pts
*Hoyer shouldn't have chucked that in the back of the end zone to Gordon +3pts
That play calling that you're upset about should've yielded 34 points today. So if you're theory is the Browns should run the ball 55 times and throw it 15 we will continue to disagree. If you are saying that is a winning formula in today's NFL we'll continue to disagree.

Total Passing is like Total Defense, misleading stat. The question is can you throw it in the end zone, Seattle was 10th in TD passes last year.
That isn't an answer for Rodgers or Manning both are still in the running to win a Super Bowl this year.
New England's last Super Bowl was 2004 and while I will admit in the early 2000's defense and running was the plan, it isn't now.

Not really, the Hawks weren't a passing team. What it shows is that when they went to pass they could be effective off play action. However their gameplan was establish the LOS, feed beast most, and roll out Wilson off of that.
To say that Seattle could sling it around at will is folly.
That is an answer for Rodgers and Manning as neither have won a Superbowl without those two defining factors of a team. You HAVE to be able to run the ball and you HAVE to be able to play defense. It's that simple.
Again, it clearly is the plan now as that what makes San Fran and Seattle successful. You think it was Cam Newton that took the Panthers to a 12 win season?
The gmen won 2 superbowls on the back of an elite Dline and dependable run game.
The Steelers won 2 superbowls with an elite pass rush and a steady QB.
The teams you reference are complete teams with very good QB's. If you put Manning on the Jags that offense is still going to struggle.

Gordon admits that he messed up on a few plays :

Jaws on Hoyer and our RB's :
-
"I can't even believe we still won with how I played" - Brian Hoyer
I love hearing that from him, and he is 100% right. He has got to play better than he has in recent weeks if we are going to make the playoffs, and he has to play much, much better if we're going to win a playoff game.
With all of our injuries on both sides of the ball, he is going to have to be lights out as a game manager, and get back to the way he played early in the season when he never turned the ball over.

He's right. He played bad and he realizes it. His play lately hasn't been good. But, he was able to make another game winning drive.
Winners win and he's a winner. Don't care if he's dead last in every stat.

This is key.
But from what I'm seeing from BH is that stats don't really matter . . . it all comes down to the W or L.
This is in essence is the "IT" factor, and BH definitely has that - probably as much as Brian Sipe did.

Pre game warm ups - this is Joe Haden making this catch in the background :

Browns Win!!! Fuck y'all throwing negativity on the party!!!
Just doing what Pettine will do (see first quote in sig).
Top 4 in passing TDs this year Manning, Rodgers, Luck & Brady...hmmm you're right this is a running league
The fact that there are QBs filling the #1-4 slots in TD passes proves it's a passing league?
Well three of the five top TD scorers are RBs... Lynch, Thomas, Charles, Cobb and Foster...

Don''t confuse him with facts T, he want's shanny to throw the ball 60 times, after all, it's 2014, and he can do it on Madden.

Agree with you and USF, but I am bothered that today I saw for the first time, multiple mental errors from Brian. Not used to that...
The mental game is BH's lone edge over JM. That has been the "it" I have seen. If his mental game continues to wane, then change will come.

I'll be 100% honest T, I've been growing more concerned with Brian as the last few weeks have gone by. Not Stockton level, but my patience is beginning to grow thin. At first I blamed it on all of the injuries, but now I wonder aloud if it's not more of a "Brian now has film" issue, where the defense has a game plan now to take advantage of his tendencies? Just thinking out loud here.

That's why posted I the Hoyer to Gordon stats earlier (or another thread).
Not playing together since Pre-Season (when there were a bunch of other issues involved as well), there's no way Hoyer & Gordon are on the same page right now - 8 for 16 to Gordon as well as at least two INT's in his direction.
I really expected worse, since the other WR's were basically going to have to play different positions/routes with Gordon coming in at the #1 spot.
Seriously, the WR's have been playing 10 weeks at pretty much different positions and now they all have to shuffle to accommodate Gordon - I'm surprised they did as well as they did.
And with Hoyer having a legit #1 huge target in Gordon, yeah, it's no surprise he wanted to get the ball to him . . . hell, even at 50% completion to Gordon he had 120yds.
