    I watched a lot of games yesterday and seen some damn good teams go down to some lesser opponents. Is Indy gonna give up, fuck no, is Seattle going to pack it in, fuck no. Shit happens guy/girls. We will adjust and win some games. Our whole team was rocked when Mccown went down, and we never recovered. It is what it is, and you just play on. Stop the insane negative fucking bullshit. Its week one and everyone is already talking shit. The outsiders already called the collaspe of our fandom, and you just drank the fucking cool aide. We knew we would have to work at everything to get the wins, we dont have a top 20 QB or RB or WR or pretty much anything else, we are biased as a mother fucker, so we buy into the media hype. Just let it fucking go and just be a fan and let shit happen. Because if we end up doing good, I would expect all you negative fucks to revoke your man and Browns Card. Dont Look to OSU or the Cavs, let this shit develope, we are tied for 2nd in the AFC North. God speed to all you always negative fucks.

    Have been drinking, so disregard spelling errors.

    The only thing I disagree with is not looking to osu or the cavs. Those are both our teams as much as the browns and both wildly better than the browns to boot. We should be celebrating those teams.

    I guess as a die hard Browns fan, I have to disagree. My Dawgs come first, regardless of who else is playing. Even if we go Ofer, i will still be the biggest fan. Now with that said, our coaching staff has to do a better job of preparation.

    yeah but I thought they lost too many guys in the offseason but added a bunch of promising rooks. I knew defensively they weren't bums just didn't think they were gonna be much this year.

    It's way too early to start talking about how teams will finish the year. Lets get Bowe back and see how our O runs. We need a big receiver, even if he is beyond his years. The small receivers just dont scare anyone.

    Yeah, but you mighta thought wrong.....possible?....not sure they lost anybody of worth, but they certainly gained a lot....(most pundits had them as the #1 most improved team via FA and Draft this year)....

  • I was super optimistic after the first 10 minutes of the game - everything looked *exactly* as we wanted it to. We forced a punt in (I think) 5 plays of D, then we took about 9 minutes to get all the way down the field, mixing up passing and throwing nicely, converting third downs as necessary, and we were in a position to put points on the board.

    After that, with McCown out, it went a bit to shit. Manziel got a nice TD, if slightly under thrown, which should have helped continue the momentum. But then, Just as we were about to get a turnover, or at least force a punt again, brandon marshall did his thing and for some reason it knocked everything out of us.

    After that, with the heads down, the Jets built a lead. Knowing we had to pass because we were trailing and had effectively no run game, they just kept sending pressure, and Manziel - in only his second start - began to panic a little and started leaving the pocket early. There was no coming back from that point.

    So the positives? That everything was going perfectly until it wasn't.

    The negatives

    1) No run game. That's basically the biggest thing for me. In the passing game we gained only around 200 yards, but I don't think we're really set up to get 400 yards per game. Slightly more would be nice - 250-300 maybe - but that doesn't bother me.

    2) Penalties - too many. By like, 10. When we weren't giving the ball away to kill the drive, we were killing it ourselves by putting ourselves in third and very long. And even then when Manziel scrambled for 20 to pick up the first down, it was pulled back for a hold on (I think) Mack.

    The turnovers aren't great, of course, you turn it over five times, you lose, simple. But of those five:

    Fumble by McCown - he shouldn't be making that dive, so sotp him making the dive, no fumble

    Strip on Gipson - Gipson is giving up about 5" and 200lbs on Brandon Marsall. He should have protected it better maybe, but don't forget the only reason he got stripped is because he picked Fitzpatrick in the first place.

    INT - not a good throw. This is the concerning one because Hartline was open for Manziel to lead him. Threw to the back shoulder and the DB made a play.

    Manziel Fumbles - both from leaving the pocket too early. Stay in the pocket, those fumbles clean themselves up.

    So yeah, some negatives, but still positives. Biggest worry is how quickly and easily the heads dropped when the momentum changed. That's on the vets and coaches to step up and rally.

    Jets lost Sheldon Richardson to suspension... you may have heard of him... 😉

    But the big counterbalancing positives were that Benji was spotted early and the throw was to his outside, away from the single-high Safety. Benji was drifting towards the middle of the field... he should not have been.

  • Pessimism comes from the sloppy play and again the team looked like they don't belong on the same field.

    yuck. bologna is for inmates and welfare whites. there's some early hate for ya.

    the intent of this oddly random post is completely lost on me. was there some deeper meaning i'm missing cal?

  • i think if you put that on bread and then stick in your mouth you can't talk.

    which might be his point.

    yep-drop Dray and bring back our reclamation project (TP). Can't play 4 TE's at the same time anyway unless in the superjumbo package. A tall, speedy receiver clears out the underneath for the short shits.

    well if so, that's VERY unFirst Amendment of him. and of you for your presumptuous assumption.
