***Official Browns Vs. 49ers Game Day Thread***

BrownsDawgPound

Hi, Browns fans! Another NFC West interdivisonal battle as the 4-8 San Francisco 49ers visit the 2-9 Cleveland Browns, for this afternoon's 19th all-time regular season meeting. and also the 49ers first regular season road visit at Cleveland for the first time in nearly eight years. Second-year QB Johnny Manziel is starting for the Browns for the rest of the season, to prove his ability on the field during game action, and reportedly showcase Manziel, for a possible trade by the Browns in the upcoming off season.

Browns defeated the 49ers in their last visit to Cleveland in the season finale back on December 30, 2007. Browns highlights included a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown by Joshua Cribbs, Derek Anderson's 45-yard TD pass to Braylon Edwards, and Phil Dawson's two PAT's and two field goals from 23 and 49 yards.

Dawson will also face his former team, the Browns, while punter Andy Lee will also face his former team, the 49ers. San Francisco also defeated Cleveland 20-10 in both teams last regular season meeting played in Candlestick Park back on October 30, 2011.

Cleveland also leads the all-time regular season series with 18 wins, over 7 losses dating back to their first meeting back in 1946.

NO injuries, win your third game of the season, and GO BROWNS!!!!!

Man, considering current circumstances, Joshua Cribbs, Braylon Edwards and Derrick Anderson were like playmaking studs.

Ha....one of my many beefs.....that we have ZERO play makers or stars.....none.....And you need "several", at least, to win in this league....

I watched the new 30-30 on the Buffalo Bills last night....and how they went to 4 Super Bowls and lost em all.....and I looked at that team with Super Stars like Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Corny Bennett, Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas....to name a few....

....and all I could think was we dont have one single guy like that....not one......yet they had 5 HOF'ers and still didnt get it done...

We are soooooooooooooooooo far away from that level of talent.....so so far away.....

This team fucking stinks like a dirty diaper lost in a minivan for two weeks in August.

Love how excited Kruger was to possibly earn a sack from Gabbert running out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage

Someone needs to tell Shelton he can't reach out 2 arms to block 2 rushers on a FG. Not sure if one of them was supposed to be Ervings. First time I have seen Joe Thomas visibly pissed at his teammates though...

Richiswhere

Wow Crowell from the FB..... quick hitter...that was pimp!!

I hope we see more Crowell and Johnson in the backfield together.

For the many years this team has stunk, the kicker has always seem to be the bright spot, but this guy sucks as well!

Yes he totally sucks because our rookies got pushed 3 yards backwards into his face on the FG attempt..

A Browns touchdown and the lead. OK, let's see what happens next.

Look at the teams they faced. NY Giants, Washington Redskins, San Fran, and Dallas. All with powerhouse Ds. But don't forget that they should have beaten the Giants in the first game. Who knows what would have happen if that would've happened.

I can't stand Manziel. It's not even about his off the field issues or his lackluster play. Don't fucking shake hands with an opponent during the game like your boys and don't act like you won the SuperBowl after a face mask call saves your ass after you fucked up royally

Nice throw Johnny

Honestly that INT is more on Hartline than Johnny. If you wave frantically for the ball, you need to make a better effort going towards the ball to make the catch. Hartline assumed no one was near him and was backpedaling instead of meeting the ball in the air. It's not surprising to see Johnny that pissed after the play... All that said, Barnidge was open on the right side and even Benji was open for at least 7 yards after the scramble..

Honestly that douchebag above would find something wrong with Manziel even if he went 50/50 with 10 TDs. There's no point in even talking about it.

Love how the browns ran the ball down the 9'ers throats...their D preparing for a Johnny Manziel show.

Good game plan by Flip.

Even ex Brown great Brady Quinn said, "every QB in the NFL knows you don't make that throw". You're right pick had nothing to do with the DB locking in on Manziel and the nearly impossible throw across his body across the field.

Very true. crowell looks like a pro athlete today. I'll wait for verification from Tour, but I suspect Erving's replacement is much better at run blocking...
