  • How many wins does Wilson have? 50? How many wins do the Browns have?

    Wilson has 44 wins in the games he has started.

    The Browns have won 508 games. Does that answer your question?

  • Pettine just lit a fire under an already HOT team trying to get back to the Super Bowl. Wilson has 13 touchdowns in his last 3 games. He had 5 against Pittsburgh and 5 against Baltimore. He's been in 2 Super Bowls and should have one both of them. He relies on Doug Baldwin and rookie Tyler Lockett. If that's not elite I don't know what is.

    Why would Pettine give Seattle at home more incentive to crush the Browns. My God! People who talk trash better back it up!

    Pettine didn't talk trash, he just said that Wilson wasn't in the top 3-4 QB's in the league....which is an accurate statement.
  • Well it will be pinned up on Seattle's locker room wall. But seriously which of the top 10 teams would trade their guy for him if the ages were the same?

  • Pete Carroll does not get enough credit for building a winner with personnel & a system that fits his players game. #1 Defense.You win field position, you win games when your offense only needs 40 yards to red zone.#2 Wilson is head smart as they come as a passer but Carroll knows Wilson is his 2nd best RB every game regardless of Lynch because his teams system is they have to be able to block down field. I think Pet has got a good game plan going into this & just threw his convenience at his players to execute.. Good on Pet. Dansby & Orchard should be the spy's on Wilson & their tackling angles will be key.

    Exactly.....and it was in response to specifically being asked if he was as good as Brady, Roethlesburg and Company....not as if he just came out with for no reason....

    Its not as if he called him a midget....

  • wilson was on no one's radar as an elite coming out of college so everyone of the prognosticators who said they knew should show some proof.

    wilson is good climbing up to great. put a top 5 defense up against that offense and he would not be scrambling to the sidelines for 8 yards per, he'd be getting walloped. that's what has not happened yet and maybe someone can do that this weekend.

    fuck wilson and carroll. and and lynch and sherman and all the other beotches on that team. remember the BROWNS are playing THEM this weekend. at least our HC knows that, some of you might have already given up.

    show your true colors cleveland fans............lol.

    It just seems to idiotic to me to have not been done on purpose.

    Kind of like last game he said that SF had been given the blueprint on how to beat our defense. How'd that work out for 'em?

    That was from a satirical website called the Onion. It was not a legitimate news report.

  • Pet has a habit of being a little too honest in his pressers.

    Especially when he said he and Farmer had a great working relationship or when he said he gave Johnny permission to go to Las Vegas (after saying he was going above and beyond the expectations early on in 2014). There's been a lot of things he's said that got conveniently forgotten over time by some.

    He's got some big time fans in here for some reason considering we only have 3 wins in 13 games. At the onset of last week's game Quinn announced our running game ranked 32nd (even if PFF says it's very productive). Our defense ranks 32 regardless of how thick the excuse list (we're suddenly the only NFL team with injuries). We ranked last in points allowed and many other defensive categories. If anyone adores our Special Teams play throughout the year - we will have also found an imagination great than fictional writer Stephen King. A 32nd ranked SF offense QBed be the Blaine Gabbert counting on a RB not good enough for our 32nd ranked running game S.Draughns is just what the doctor ordered for at least 1 week. A nice calm before the storm of opponents in a playoff hunt; but we're still doing bad enough to compete for the first pick overall in 2016 right?

    While I don't like changing head coaches every other year - what reasons for optimism do I have for Pettine? What facet of the game improved? I wish 100% of all this was Farmer's fault and we had the next version of Vince Lombardi ready to break out of 2 handcuffs once Farmer was given his walking papers. That's a lot of wishing for 1 quick solution. If you can't run the ball or stop the run - you become exactly what your record says you are despite what PFF's patriots want to argue otherwise. All that said, I'm told the best reason Pettine has earned tenure is because guys like Chris Palmer, Pat Shurmur and Chud sucked so no use trying. What a way to give Ghoolie company watching the Hallmark Channel on Sundays.

    Come on now, this was REALLY stupid to say even if it wasn't some overt insult. A big part of being a head coach is understanding how to talk to the media and use so called "coach speak". This makes us look as an organization even more of a joke than we already are. ESPN shows even led off with the comment for goodness sake and mocking Pettine and the Browns.

    The most funny part to me is when Wilson was asked about it he APPROPRIATELY deflected. It's really not hard to do and something Pettine with almost 2 years under his belt has to understand.

    I don't know what constitutes "elite"...

    In the context of the article.....IE "What Pettine actually said"......is that Wilson isnt top 3-4 with Brady, Rodgers, Roethlesburg & Brees .....but certainly is in the next level....

    So, in context, he wasnt swiping at Wilson....just speaking the truth....he's good, even very good...but not Brady ...

    As true as that may be, what would be your reaction if you were Wilson and heard that?

    I'd be looking forward to Pettine watching me perform like a top tier QB against his browns.

  • Pettine talking about the state of other teams and their players? I guess he should, nothing to talk about in Cleveland.

  • I don't want to be "that guy", but I was SCREAMING to draft Russell Wilson years ago. No, I don't have any documented proof, but I watched Wilson give my Seminoles fits every damn year, and then I watched him dominate at Wisconsin. He's smart, strong-armed, super mobile, and looks to make plays down the field with his arm when he runs. He's mature, squeaky clean, and will have many more years of success in the NFL.

    Of course, any QB that comes into the league playing with a dominate defense and a superb running game has a much better chance of success than a QB that goes to a terrible team. QB's that get picked super early have it so tough. Fans see them as a type of "savior", and when they don't reverse the fortunes of a bad team overnight, people start calling them a bust.

    The internet is a dangerous place for those who dont fact check.....😉

    To Me.. Pettine is a nice guy.. I like the man.. But I never once got the sense that this guy was "Must have" as a coach...

    I don't think this team is in position to get a must have coach. Look at the track record of firings. Who wants to come in to a dumpster fire only to have 1-2 years to turn it around or be fired?

    Gonna have to hope for a diamond in the rough.

    And? We're right back to 1999 and 2000 where the hope for the win column has us counting up to 2 or 3. Some of us just aren't smart enough to celebrate such progress 15-16 years later even if we have an impressive 3 wins in our last 18 games. Got me there. 😉

    And now back to our regularly scheduled Pettine for Tenure debate team tryouts to defeat the following evils and injustices:

    - Media conspiracies

    - Jimmy wants his Head Coach to fail almost as much as Farmer does.

    - Joe Haden was playing lights out football in 2015 and now we just can't stop the run or pass without him (my favorite)

    - Screw the record, stats & rankings because PFF criteria says this is gorgeous football. What would a guy like Bill Parcells know about winning?

    - Manziel assassinated Pettine's ability to win

    - Allegedly poor Mike and his hand selected coaching staff didn't have any input/say on the research and film collected by the scouting dept for the draft. Farmer just flew solo and was the ONLY guy on this franchise that decided to go corner in round 1 of 2014. Suddenly, there's a whole bunch of hindsight 20/20 that says only 1 NFL franchise deemed Gilbert as an elite corner in that draft. Was Farmer employed by the Jets when the success of their defense was predicated off the dominance of Revis and Cromartie at the backend? Was hoping Gilbert and Haden could morph into that such an evil thing? My guess is Pett was given quite a bit of say in that as well as plenty of corners to review on film if it was that high of a priority. Certain flies on the wall like to decide who gets credit for good teamwork decisions and who gets credit for a lack thereof.

    - What happened to all our advice about how well Shanny's offense is doing without Farmer this time around? Did Cinderella have an earlier midnight this year in Atlanta? Last time I saw Matty Ice he looked like an ice sculpture in the pocket now that enough teams had film of how you park Shanny.

    - Is it possible a guy better suited in frame for leverage vrs taller and lighter athletes is playing out of position at OG normally facing shorter but much heavier guys (than most edge rushers)? I thing I read about a former DE turned OT turned C prior joining Pettine's Offensive Line - is he had good feet, agility and lateral movement while his pad height was inconsistent. This ain't the ACC so we count on the coaching staff to put players where they can help us most and Bademosi at Corner or Erving at Guard seem like some really bad ideas that some just want to give Farmer & Jimmy all the credit for. Anyone ever think if Pettine (when he bragged about his terrific working relationship with Farmer) wanted - he would have had any trouble convincing Farmer to keep a great open field tackler with ideal speed in Skrine especially considering how frequently K'Wuan Williams couldn't finish games in 2014? It might have even saved Farmer from being Farmer in terms of what we had left for a dud like Dwayne Bowe. Let me guess, Farmer had a gun to temple resisting such continuity in our secondary. We gotta make sure we capture the right bad guy.

    Seattle can only be terrified they don't have Tom Brady this week up against NFL body by Pettine.
