  • Yes.. Hoyer has given it to him....

    BobPound!

  • Yep. I say go for it....

  • With such a bright outlook and a game with a "playoff atmosphere" laid an egg, Johnny likely starts next week, but if he lays an egg the back 3 will be sad.

  • As much as I was a Hoyer fan, as my ProfilePic can show, it is JMoney's time

  • No

    This is it. The beginning of the end for Pettine and company.

    The Browns could lose every game from here on out and it wouldn't be the end for Pettine and company. He's already more than doubled our win total from last year. How quickly we forget.

  • Playoffs are over for us. Gotta give JFF a chance to play. He needs this time to prepare for next season. Of course next year we will need someone to prepare for next season. "wait til next " is our battle cry.

    Ditto. Not gonna see PITT or BAL drop their guys after dropping to 7-5 in "must win" games.

    The fact PITT and BAL lost also means we aren't out of the playoff hunt. Next week against IND is tough and huge.

  • I'll have to think about it just like Pettine now has to think it through before making that drastic a change. I really wanted JF to get a whole season with spot duty. Today qualifies for that since the game was just about gone anyway. A good time to see what the rook could do. But do you take the chance now if you're Pettine? I don't know. It's not a snap decision that's for sure. Be interesting to hear what he has to say in all post game pressers.

    I'm fairly confident he's only going to be asked about 1 thing in the pressers about 20 different ways. Hopefully the media is better than that.

    I still think they're going to give the ball to Hoyer against the Colts. Last chance to save the season, they'll likely prefer to have the guy back there who got 'em this far.

    Not saying I agree with it. And not suggesting it's the wise choice. But I think next game is a last-ditch effort for playoff position and Hoyer will be given his last chance.

  • Yes. Unfortunately playoffs are pretty much over for us now. Start the learning process for Johnny.

    No they aren't. BAL and PITT lost and fell into a 3 way tie with us. We still play BAL. Cincy is continuing to prove their scrubbiness, we get another crack at them too. We still determine our own fate.

  • Pettine and the coaches see Manziel in practice day in and day out. If he was playing like Luck we would've seen him weeks ago. He got a shot today cause Hoyer played like shit again. The coaches will evaluate who gives them the best shot against Indy and my guess is that will be Hoyer. Can't deny the drive Manziel had but let's be honest there is a huge difference between, a spark and score, and executing a game plan.

  • Yes. Hoyer is getting worse

  • Hoyer may start indeed. But they told him today that they don't have faith in him to win.

    You all are the most hyperbolic fans I've ever seen. How are we out of contention? Everyone in our division besides Cinci lost. Until we are mathematically out, it isn't over.

  • Lots of pessimism already. The season is FAR from over and the Browns still have good shot at either winning the division or getting a wild card slot. Yes it does suck how the Browns gave away the game but that's already in the past. The big question is who will be the starting QB next week against the Colts?

  • You guys are nuts. We are one game back. ONE. Some of you people don't deserve to win and I hope you find another football team to root (bitch,complain) for. Go Browns

  • I will not overreact to what I saw today but it is clear Johnny at quarterback makes us a better team. Maybe the pressure of a playoff hunt is too much to put on a rookie, maybe it isn't, but Hoyer is not the answer.
