Browns committed to injured McCown
QB Josh McCown is day-to-day after injuring his ribs in Sunday's loss to Arizona. He was limited in practice due to a sore right shoulder and bruised ribs. Cleveland coach Mike Pettine said the team hasn't reached the point where it would decide to take a look at young players like backup QB Johnny Manziel.
Nor should he.
You play the best players as long as you are alive.
Right now, the two wild cards have just two more wins than us, and one of them just got both QBs injured in the same game.
Pittsburgh ... We've got them twice, and they just lost a big playmaker.
Everyone else has a losing record.
9-7 can probably take a WC this year.
Are we likely to go 7-1 the rest of the way? No.
But giving up is for chicken shits.
When/if we are officially eliminated then we can "look at" guys that we probably already know what we have.
I prefer "getting them game time experience" over "looking at them" ... but to each their own.

There's always the needle, guys...
Prior to my torn labrum repair in my left shoulder, my Doc wanted to do a cortisone shot into the joint. It was preceded by Novocain shots so I would not feel the "big needle". For four hours my shoulder felt as good as it had pre-injury.

Exactly, Z. Our staff can't give up on the season until the math says the playoffs are out of reach.
And there is no prize for being the first "fan" to say "it's over" and having it end up true.

Are you completely sure about this? It seems there are quite a few posters around here who want to be able to say "I told you so" every single week.

The Bengals kicked my a$$ last time I faced them. They are even better now!

Who cares
Apparently you do. You crave the attention. Otherwise, why bother posting or even watching?
Why don't you try and wring some sunshine and rainbows out of this latest shitstorm? Or failing that why don't you shit on some fans as not real enough fans when they put their foot down on bullshit systemic football? Then when enough of us do it and finally force lackadasical ownership to take accountability you can act like you were on board all alongApparently you do. You crave the attention.

It's obvious that until McCown sits down and allows the NFL's darling Manziel to play they are not going to let us win. The refs intentionally looked the other way on 9/10 late hits on McCown. They were tackling him all the way to the ground yesterday. Would the Browns get away with that shit on Andy Dalton? Fuck it, beat his ass to shit. Make that candy ass-licker eat the fucking dirt, in front of his home crowd. Take the penalties, take the loss, I could care less right now. Beat his ass to shit and watch the Bengals crumble the rest of the way. Break fucking ribs, shoulder and anything else not bolted down. Fuck em.
Time to bring the pain from now on. For every late hit, roughing the passer, hitting us out of bounds, holding, chopblock, facemask, target of the head, ect. ect. that doesn't get called for us... WE NEED TO DO IT TWICE BACK.

I'm sure the owner is scared shitless of you and the 5 or so other negative attention whores around here.

I for one have given up on a miraculous comeback for this team.The coaching is absolutely horrible.How can you have the highest paid defense,and be dead last? Seems that the defensive schemes suck.Did i mention that our coach is a defensive mind? Scares me.McCown does not want to come out,because if the kid would somehow win another game,he may have to sit.At his age,he has done plenty of that(could 8 or 9 teams be wrong?).Put Manziel in and let him sink,or swim,we have nothing to lose at this point.Hopefully we can get a few drafts for these suck ass veterans we are overpaying for.Face it,we are rebuilding again,and it sucks!!
-
Hopefully Manziel and not Grampa McCown

Oh mark o. It goes far beyond the browns board. And you, sir, are firmly in the minority. The fans that stand by and get shit on over and over never once standing up and saying "you know what? I'm tired of this bullshit. No more money for you."
Yes it goes far beyond the microcosm of this internet forum

It's just taking the rose colored glasses off Mark- it's called being "objective" and not a hopeless homer. Didn't I tell you in the Tavern you could have my season tickets for the next time you're in town if the Browns kept it within (I think 3, I was drinking heavily at the time). Seems like my radar was right on- I don't like losing anymore than you do, but apparently Pettine didn't get the memo NFL games are 60 minutes long, not 30- and it isn't too smart to keep putting a damaged quarterback out there who's going three and out, three and out, rinse wash repeat- and tosses up a soft floater to the end zone on a bum shoulder that got picked off.
-
A coach that also didn't know why Duke Johnson was on the field.
Pettine is in way over his head. He's a nice man but terrible coach.
-
Is pettine a nice man though? Kind of comes off like a scared and insecure asshole type to me.....
Also, the propettine crowd seems to think that if you want JM to play or be given a shot you think JM was a good draft pick or is likely to be a good nfl qb. not at all. A lot of us are pretty skeptical on manziel, but are simply saying "this team is going nowhere at 2-6 and why the fuck would a 2-6 team going nowhere run out a proven loser who is 36 and hasb no upside for our future at all"

You apparently like getting smoke blown up your ass. THEORETICALLY the Browns are alive in the playoff chase-. The best the Browns can do is 10-6, if you think that's going to happen, I have some hot swampland Florida real estate for sale.
Even @ 9-7 The Raiders or Jets only have to go 5-4 the rest of the way out- they both hold head to head tiebreakers over the Browns. We only have to leapfrog 5 other teams- plus the Chargers- who have a tiebreaker with us, and hope the Jets and Raiders start sucking really bad.
This team is on playoff life support, Yeah- there's still a few fans in denial about it- just don't get your hopes up.

Would you even stick around here if Manziel didn't pan out for us?
I'm not propettine I'm pro-browns. As long as Pettine's the coach I'll support him - he was right last year that Brian Hoyer was a better quarterback than Manziel, no reason to believe he isn't right McCown is the best we got this year.
Oh but I forgot this is basically JM's "real rookie season" and he's "different this year"

We are 2-6, you are what your record says you are.
What's the rush to give up?
What's the rush to play the younger guys to "see what we've got" as opposed to playing the better guys and trying to win football games as long as we are mathematically alive?
That's what you do.
Quitting is for losers, I'm glad none of you are our coach, I can't stand quitters.
If we are as bad as everyone thinks, we'll be eliminated in a couple weeks, and that ought to be plenty of time for you to go "Oh, that's why they were on the bench."
Undermanned: It sucks,and that is what the offseason is for, to fix it.
Quitting: Totally unacceptable.
Everyone is in such a rush to tell me how bad the Browns are and how they "told me so".
I watch the games too you know. It sucks. But what is your goddamn hurry to pull the plug?

Similarly the anti-Pet crowd thinks that just because we Pro-Pet members understand that a staff cannot write off the season before the playoffs are mathematically out of reach, that we are somehow a bunch of pie-in-the-sky Pollyannas. A lot of us are plenty skeptical of our odds as they are without unleashing our 2nd-string QB on the league.
