  • Don't get me wrong, I really love McCown. He's been tough as nails and I'd have him in a pinch over maybe any other QB Clevaland has had since I've started watching. But, let's let our 1st round, future hall of fame QB take the reigns and let's see what happens. I doubt Manziel, with the way he plays, will last an entire season, that's where McCown will shine and help us to the ultimate goal... Winning a SB. You need a trusty good QB that can step in an keep the team moving... but Manziel is what this team needs right now.

  • Ray Malanuga listed on injury list (calf) is key. When we ran all over Cinny in cinncy Ray was Out & Phil Taylor had his best game (get it Lava). When Ray was back in Cleveland, Ray killed the run & JM all day. Mack was out last season for both games but Mack better have his game back starting tonight..

  • Interesting stat. . .

    ESPNStatsInfo:

    Browns’ defense: last in NFL in yds after contact per rush (2.1).

    Bengals’ defense: next-to-last in yds after contact per rush (1.9).

  • First Bengals play on offense and our defense was not ready as the ball was snapped. Sigh.

  • End f first quarter - JM has not embarrassed himself? So why aren't we developing him like every other team develops its first round QB drafts? I hate this coaching staff and FO. They are obviously not aligned - and the result is 2-6. I'm telling you it's not the players (although we could use more talent). It's the dysfunction between Farmer and the coach.

  • Starks gets a taunting penalty! Doesn't this guy make you mad? No penalties until Starks taunts Bernard.

    But oh boy Gilbert batted the ball away in the end zone!

  • Don't think I've seen a clearer PI than the one not called on Gilbert then

  • Offsides. Bengals' drive continues. Touchdown.

  • Why would Starks do that? firstntaunting and now offsides penalty on Starks! Good free agent signing Farmer!

  • If the Bengalsmwin they should give the game ball to Starks! Bum!

  • look at that confused look on the face of that dumbass after the team he supposedly coaches makes another mental error that goes towards their unpreparedness.....I cant wait until he has the same dumbass confused look on black Monday when he is barred from team facilities forever

  • what else can you do but laugh guys? Seriously, what other team in this league manages to suck the pickle like the Browns did on that drive? The Browns are the team they show in movies as comically bad before they get better but the joke never ends.

  • Why didn't the Browns call a time out when they went for it on 4th down? Set up the defense, settle them down to prevent an offside.

  • If the Browns are short on DB's due to injury why is Gilbert back there returning kicks?

  • Starks is an idiot..... offsides on fourth and goal? Maybe the bengals planted him here? Release him!

    Thats what good teams do Frenchie
  • that last drive was reason 394837378 why pettine and the whole staff should be shitcanned before the season is over instead of black Monday. It didn't look like our defense was overmatched player for player on that last drive. It just looks like an incredibly poorly disciplined team with no direction from the coaching staff.

    Someone who doesn't even watch much football could look at this browns team and come to the quick conclusion that the coaching is horrific. They would say "who the hell is coaching that team". Sadly, 75% of nfl fans would probably say "some no name...I don't even know"

  • Crowell running well. Johnny looking decent.

  • Crowell is better than usual tonight. I'd run him all night long!

  • Johnny!
