  • My younger brothers neighbors called the cops because he was screaming so loud. Guess they thought he was beating his wife. I don't let it get to me so much anymore. Fuck it.

    When I was young I used to scream!! Now I'm old and all screamed out. Tell your Bro thanks!
  • You can pin the majority of this loss on the defense. The offense gave us what we thought. Johnny showed a little something but didn't wow anybody. The defense is what was supposed to hold games close. This will be a bottom tier defense yet again. And I agree with some of the previous posters, are edges are a joke...Kruger is a lost cause. Whatever condition it was when he was with Blt, that's over. I suspect Blt kept him around 280 and didn't ask much else of him except to beat his man....since he's come here we've yo-yo'd his weight around. He's a 4-3 DE which is what Blt used him as. Soloman wasn't any better either. None of our edges can get off their blocks whatsoever. It would be nice to have consistent interior LB'er play so that RB's were forced to bounce right into the OLB'ers....but I see other teams edges now being able to pinch their guys in and disrupt the momentum of the play even if it goes to the inside. We just don't have that. Frankly i'd be fine if Pettine fire saled these guys after the season, they can't do what is needed to be even decent in this leage let alone elite.

    And Pettine knows what elite is, thsoe guys in Buffalo are mostly who was there when he was. That front 4 in Buffalo just does things our gys have no hope of doing. I'd rather fire sale and get young but build around guys that have a chance of being able to execute the kind of defense we know Pettine is able to put together.

  • Well it depends on what you consider top 5.

    If you can consider top 5 in yards allowed and points scored against then we're in there!

    Seriously though, I was pretty disappointed. We couldn't penatrate, stuff the run or seal the edges. To top it off, even when the secondary looked good they still screwed it up (like the Gibson int).

    Who is Gibson?

  • We're just not deep enough (read that too many TE's and not enough DL's) to compete in the second half. There is also an organizational problem when so many TE's are carried while letting go of the one receiver that is fast and tall enough to be a real threat, albeit new to his position. Letting TP go was a big mistake.

  • As always, you can't pin an entire game on the D when your offense gives up 5 turnovers... and only scores 10 points...

    Sure, the run D fell apart in the 2nd half, but to be fair they weren't exactly put in the best situations for success...

    Typical Browns ... lacking on offense, but blame the defense...

  • I agree 23. Haden getting worked kinda pissed me off, as did the lack of pass rush, but I'm not too worried about the defense yet.

    Let TP go.....

    Fixed....

    No WR would have made the difference yesterday......penalties and turnovers were the issue....not TE's or WR's.....

  • I'm glad I didn't waste a beautiful afternoon watching those clowns lose yet again.
