      pettine's biggest mistake was the inexplicable decision to not even make a true effort at a first down at the end of the first half. That gave Arizona three free points. Inexcusable. This is the nfl....you can't just give up three points like that. We get a first down there and we go into half 20-7.

      I know some in this forum have this idea that our offense is 'overperforming', but yesterday they were below average on the whole.....yet again. for the third straight week. 20 pts is not a terrible total(it's slightly below average by nfl standards in 2015), but in a game with so many big plays on defense on both sides(ie game changing turnovers), that makes it even worse. For example we got one turnover at the ten yard line. The offense did a good job to push it in from there, but when you have opps like that you need to score more than 20 pts.

      Pettine is likely to be fired at the end of the year. That's just reality. His only hope is really that Johnny catches fire when he decides to put him in as the guy....whether it's this Thursday or the week after.

      Agree... we needed to stay aggressive there. We had 90+ seconds and two time-outs. A PAP on 1st would have been the time to take a stab at moving the ball.

        its too late for that...johnny will not be able to save pettine. not enough live game reps. he'll be so out of sync. too many games left with teams that have very good defenses. it's over...

            Well just listened to the post game presser... and shockingly I did not hear what Walter did.

            There's still steel behind Pet's words. Overlaid by disappointment certainly... I'd expect no less after a loss. But despite that the only hint of annoyance was in answering the "trading block" question.

              So, when Pettine isn't fired at seasons end, will all of you pussies fuck off? Or will you say "I loved the hire all along, he deserves another shot, blah blah blah" like the turncoat fucks you are.

                1) this team sucks

                2) they are regressing

                3) If they keep sucking and regressing at the end of 2 years, that's going to be a problem in todays nfl

                What don't you guys understand about that? The nfl isn't a 4 year play. Jesus.

                  No...it gets us another year or longer of listening to them tell everyone that he should be fired.

                      And it's not firing your HC every year either.

                        If he's given another year- nothing I can do about it. If the Browns go 4-12 or worse- it's fighting the current owner think in the NFL. If we're still 2-6 come November 2016 with Pettine as HC- seems the "stay the course guys" are going to be wearing egg on face.

                          exactly, in the nfl today you can get more than 2 seasons if you go 5-11 or whatever for a second straight losing season, but you BETTER be showing some progress. Going 5-11 year 2 and not showing any progress/hope is not going to keep your job. And no, pettine toweling off a 37 year old journeyman vet at qb is not 'progress' for the future.

                            That's assuming it was Pettine's call for 3 straight runs. He is not the OC.. Plus he isn't counting on Haden being unable to cover Germaine Fucking Gresham down the field.. I realize Haden is still not himself health-wise though..

                              I'm sure Pet did not call the plays, but the HC tells his OC how he wants to play a situation such as we had late in the first half.... aggressive/conservative... pass/run.

                              Ditto for his DC...

That gave Arizona three free points. Inexcusable. This is the nfl....you can't just give up three points like that. We get a first down there and we go into half 20-7.

                                So if we got a 1st down and went into the locker up 20-7, then what? They outscored us 24-0 in the 2nd half. We all know that Palmer turned the ball over many times in the 1st half. He corrected that in the 2nd. Period. And their D stepped up. I do however think Pettine is the problem. But what do we do if we get rid of him? Who else wants to come here?

                                  Wasn't just the FG that AZ got... it was the tone the series set... both our weak offensive series and AZ's aggressive one. Remember they had a TD pass negated by penalty prior to settling for the FG.

                                    pettine's biggest mistake was the inexplicable decision to not even make a true effort at a first down at the end of the first half. That gave Arizona three free points. Inexcusable. This is the nfl....you can't just give up three points like that. We get a first down there and we go into half 20-7.

                                    So if we got a 1st down and went into the locker up 20-7, then what? They outscored us 24-0 in the 2nd half. We all know that Palmer turned the ball over many times in the 1st half. He corrected that in the 2nd. Period. And their D stepped up. I do however think Pettine is the problem. But what do we do if we get rid of him? Who else wants to come here?

                                    Exactly.......our team see's a short clock and decides NOT to try to score....just hold on and dont make any mistakes, so to speak....

                                    The other team see's an even shorter clock and they go for points....and get them....

                                    Should try to at least show a will to win and confidence in your team....playing it safe in the first half is for losers....

                                      You don't BACK into a win...you TAKE it! We should go "balls to the wall" to assure that we are the last team to score in the 1st half of any game. Its called momentum.
