    Lane Adkins is reporting Haslam has called a meeting with upper management tonight. According to reports, Haslam was "furious" following today's abortion of a game, and rightfully so.

    http://www.dawgpoundnation.com/2015/12/06/report-haslam-meeting-with-browns-upper-management-tonight/

    What do you guys think it means? Just a cursory "fix it or fuck off"? Or is it a just straight "fuck off". Personally, I'd like to wake up to a Pettine-less Browns tomorrow.

            I say fire Pettine, fire O'Neil, promote Flip to interim coach, start Johnny, give him a Terrelle Pryor, start Gilbert across from Tramon, and let's see what we have for the future.

            4 game audition.

              I think the number one problem with this team is the abject failure to put together a talented roster.

              I'm no Pettine fan, but if it was between him and Farmer I'm axing Farmer.

                Absolutely!

                    How are you in any position to make that assessment? Are you watching Gilbert and Manziel practice? Because they sure as fuck aren't getting in any games...and it's definitely not because the guys ahead of them are better.

                    As for Shelton, Haloti Ngata had 31 tackles in his rookie season - all 16 games. Shelton has 25 so far. I think he'll be fine.

                    And Erving is being asked to play in the one position he never practiced and is not built for. Move Erving to T and then let's see how bad he is.

                    This reactionary shit right here is part of the reason we suck - placing blame on the completely wrong party without having a reason behind it.

                        Promote Flip... lmao... the guy's been an OC for 15 minutes.

                        TC,

                        Who do you think is responsible for the O-line underperformance? the RB underperformance? As an OC Flip makes a great QB coach. He may grow, but c'mon...

                        At minimum demand Pet takes over the DC duties...

                          This team sucks. Period. I dont think they're well coached, per se, but I don't know what you can do with a bunch of unwanted QBs, dwarf WRs, aging LBers, and a secondary that may not be objectively bad but has to cover guys for eons.

                          The draft picks have been a D Minus at best under Farmer, and what acquisitions have helped this team? You mention Gilbert and Manziel, who the fuck drafted them?

                          Are you really telling me this is a playoff caliber team from a talent perspective? Ridiculous.

                          Thus team is fucking garbage from a personnel perspective. I think Farmer's built a shitty team.

                              What a disaster.

                              Rumor is O'Neil's gone.

                              Don't bother.

                              Keep them all and clean House at the end of the year.

                              2-14 or 6-10 . . . only difference is going to be Draft position, and really, is it worth it either way.

                              Sadly, looks like I was correct in my assessment last year after the Bengals blew us out.

                                Someone has to take over duties if Pet and O'Neil go. I'd rather see the guy who has gotten the most out of McCown in his career.

                                  Considering Benji got hurt in short order- might have been wise to not sit Pryor.

                                    Promote Flip... lmao... the guy's been an OC for 15 minutes.

                                    TC,

                                    Who do you think is responsible for the O-line underperformance? the RB underperformance? As an OC Flip makes a great QB coach. He may grow, but c'mon...

                                    At minimum demand Pet takes over the DC duties...

                                    Right...Flip can barely handle his business......and who runs the D if no Pettine or Oneill?......there's not a position coach on the entire D that has been in the NFL for more than 3 years.....all rookies.....the whole lot of em...

                                    And probably the likely culprits if coaching is the issue.....dont think Pettine actually "coaches" anyone....so if they really want to make a difference, dont fire the "firhure head"....fire the guys who are coaching the players...

                                    And....all these rookies coaches might not have the talent to develop the kids?>....who knows....

                                    But a new staff is hard to build,...takes time.....very few coaches come with "their" guys and most new coaches have to pick off the scrap heap/////pettine too.......

                                    as will the next guy.....

                                      So your contention is that a bunch of guys riding the pine would justify the continued employment of Ray Farmer? I just want to make sure that's really what you're saying.

                                      The short version of my response, to save me time and the rest of us brain cells, is that I vehemently disagree.

                                        What a disaster.

                                        Rumor is O'Neil's gone.

                                        Don't bother.

                                        Keep them all and clean House at the end of the year.

                                        2-14 or 6-10 . . . only difference is going to be Draft position, and really, is it worth it either way.

                                        Sadly, looks like I was correct in my assessment last year after the Bengals blew us out.

                                        Pettine's mantra has been "accountability" so someone has to be held accountable. giving up 30+ points in the last 4 games sucks. That folks, was an abomination of professional football. The Bengals in effect said, oh boy, we get to scrimmage an Arena League team.

                                        I hope Jimmuh tells Mike- O'Neil has to go, and if you don't agree, you can go right along with him. Promote Dansby to player coach.

                                          I think the number one problem with this team is the abject failure to put together a talented roster.

                                          I'm no Pettine fan, but if it was between him and Farmer I'm axing Farmer.

                                          How are you in any position to make that assessment? Are you watching Gilbert and Manziel practice? Because they sure as fuck aren't getting in any games...and it's definitely not because the guys ahead of them are better.

                                          As for Shelton, Haloti Ngata had 31 tackles in his rookie season - all 16 games. Shelton has 25 so far. I think he'll be fine.

                                          And Erving is being asked to play in the one position he never practiced and is not built for. Move Erving to T and then let's see how bad he is.

                                          This reactionary shit right here is part of the reason we suck - placing blame on the completely wrong party without having a reason behind it.

                                          and then firing them....every 2 years......and all the while, the talent continues to suck
