Yep we need to run the ball, and stop the run. Both line need attention to detail badly

Have to scan the play-by-play, but we seemed to stuff a bunch of runs and did run well late in the half.

Nice pushoff for a TD

JG is still a great player.

Kept looking for it, but never saw it... no arm extension. So if he did, then he is showing mid-season subtlety in his first game back.

Meder's finger nail scrap on Winston facemask allowed another 3rd down play for SLOP 1st TD (just our luck)& all downhill from there

Yup... once upon a time t was "grasping the facemask"... there was no grasp... just a brush.

A question and a note:

• Did anyone see RG3 attempt a pass to a secondary receiver?
• Can Erving is slow x 2... feet and mind.

Back to the game...

And krueger.

Ugh.

i really DO want to find a silver lining.....something.......but.....

Hey....we gave up only 300 in the first half......

Just a slight one-handed pushoff just before the ball arrived. Very subtle but still effective and best of all, not called.

• Can Erving is slow x 2... feet and mind. Yep. The whole line is experiencing suckage today. Ridiculous penalties.

Back to the game...

There is a silver lining, for sure

We don't have to watch "Junkie" Johnny play, and then read the idiots who think he is all that

[stillmotion]

whats wrong with gilbert? i'm not getting the game near where i live?

did he get burned a couple of times?

Short answer...he still sucks.

Also the TB cheerleaders look good

[miktoxic]

Just wanted to say this before i forget. Not neg nancy shit. Saw some +s tonite on offense....

BUT

i always see these images (etched in my mind) of someone celebrating flipping a ball in the end zone, QB, WR etc. over a defeated defender. Meanwhile that franchise QB or WR etc. coulda and shoulda been drafted by the browns the year or two before.

Trade down. Trade down.

some of our 2's on D may give 1's on D a push..damn hope so

[Browns149]

@mudfly said:

nope....if he was a "player", he woulda made the tackle on that run back for a TD.....didnt even try.....(pathetic)

6 punts 50 yard average. Who's better?

Cam Erving didn't snap the ball 10 feet over the QB's head.

me too.....2's look like the better team right now

[Browns149]

of course they do. They are against TB backups

[miktoxic]

Sad.

Only thing i was interested in was how many Fbombs the drunk dude underneath the booth was slinging.

[Orion]

Good game eh?

Just about every time we return a kick or punt, there's a penalty.

Bad enough we're putting our highest draft pick standing back there while guys are running full speed at him...when there's just gonna be a penalty anyway.

And Tabor's punt coverage ain't working too well.

[TexasAg1969]

Well-gonna be a long season. We will be in the running for #1 overall pick. All 3 phases of the game are subpar and that translates to maybe 2-3 wins max.
