***Official Browns Vs Ravens Game Day Thread***

Nope be honest....you're happy they lost. Makes it easier for you to come in here and say you were right and the Browns are terrible and you all should've listened to me when I told you that they are going to suck.
Wrong. Not at all Mark. I'm never happy when the Browns lose. You really think I'm happy with 440 miles of driving and 6 hours in the car going to the game & back seeing a monumental El Foldo? The stadium was electric the first quarter. But that nasty thought kept popping up in the back of my mind- hey, we're the Browns, we're going to screw this up somehow. Mission accomplished, another long unhappy drive home. Do you really think I'm happy that we're in all likelihood not going to be very good this year? It's just what I saw starting with the preseason. It wasn't exactly Rocket Science either. I ditched my rose colored glasses years ago. If you think I'm coming off like a Ghoolie knowitall, that's not my intention. Did I say listen to me? That was my opinion Mark, that's all.
Here's the major problem as I see it- walking back to the car, the general reaction was, oh well, we lost again, so what? It's been so long since the Browns were good- fans are just showing up for the Tailgates and 1\2 expecting to lose. The game is sort of an afterthought. Tell you what- the crowd in the Upper Deck was looking pretty sparse. Need I mention in my (supposedly) sold out section 111- I was surrounded by Ravens fans? The season ticket holders were so enthused about the Browns and opening day- they'd rather cash in selling them to Rat Bird fans. If this keeps up the stadium is going to be a ghost town Christmas Eve for the last home game against the Chargers. Negative, or reality. I'll let you decide.
Here's the major problem as I see it- walking back to the car, the general reaction was, oh well, we lost again, so what?
Well....there is a true success story for the FO....nothing better than creating a situation where your fans totally accept losing, dont even expect to win, cheer when you cut all your starting vets and think that waiting 5 years is an awesome plan....
Shashi fist pump!

Hoorta I guess you saw a lot of different reaction than I did after the game. What I saw in my section (138) , in the hall on the way out and all the way back to Puritas on the RTA was outrage on the total fuck job we got. No calls on hitting McCown after he was down, bullshit personal foul on Coleman, bullshit PI on Haden and the most outrageous being the taunting call at the end. This was OUR game to win and we were straight fucked. Fuck dont take it from my slanted view 17 rows up from the fucking play, here it is in the words of a Ravens reporter
Jeff Zrebiec, Ravens reporter: The Ravens won't be able to overcome the issues that plagued them today against too many other teams. Give them credit for making some plays late and give the assist to a phantom taunting call on Terrelle Pryor. However, until team figures out to run the ball better and more consistently, they are going to play a lot more games like this.

This kind of shit makes me laugh. It only leads to inconsistency which leads to "Vegas conspiracies". It's a rule; you see it, you call it... end of story.
Tour watch this vid , especially the 2nd angle and tell me there is any stretch of the imagination that makes this a legit taunting call. it is not even in the realm of taunting. I have seen Pryor run his mouth , taunt and act immature but this was a straight bullshit call.

Did and I don't see taunting... never did. I thought it slipped out of his hand when I saw it live... and that is still what it looked like.
Did you watch the Week 1 MNF game? Williams scored on a late run and could not get a hold on the tip of the ball to do his little bowing salute he does. After a couple tries he had to dry his gloved hand on his uniform. Then he got a grip and proceeded. Point being the little slips that happened looked just like what happened with Pryor.
Know what? Doesn't matter...
My point above was that the refs have to enforce the rules as written and not judge how bad the infraction was considering the time left in the game... blah... blah... blah. Does not mean they will get them all right all of the time, but does eliminate a variable.

Taunting is a stupid fucking penalty to begin with. These are grown ass men playing a sport that could literally kill you at any moment.
Does a finger wag bruise your vagina to the point where you can't play? Get over it.

Boo hoo. Not over the tough loss yet? What you expect me to say- damn that was a great first quarter and it looks like we're falling apart? That's what happened.

Yep!

That would still be better than a game where no one talked trash, but anyway, I'm pretty sure grabbing crotches and flipping someone off nets you a little more than a taunting call.

And there you go. You don't want to get taunted? Don't get beat. You're pissed a guy celebrated in front of you? Kick his ass on the next play. This isn't kindergarten, the NFL is not a 'safe space'.

How many times have you seen that before in the history of the NFL?

The ref who was closest to the play and looking right at the players appeared to have no intention of throwing a flag but the out of position ref who came running down the sidelines and was not in as good position as the other ref seemed to be a little flag happy in how quickly he threw the flag.

Not in position? 2 yds away? Come on man. You're reaching now.

The Ravens suck. Browns should have beat them. They only won because we had a QB that was an understudy for the Villain in The Fugitive (one armed man), and because refs decided that the Browns we too young to be allowed to win a close game.

Look at the video at 8 seconds and it is a straight on shot showing the ref closest to the players and the ref who threw the flag not even in view. If anyone would have thought that should be taunting it would be the ref closest to the players involved.

Also germane... taunting type stuff is one of the NFL's "points of emphasis" for 2016.
"When you have a shared vision it is a lot easier to make unpopular decisions." - Paul DePodesta "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." - Paul Brown Complete 2017 Browns Board Mock: http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46196 -
However, Pryor should have known -- one of Tressel's points of emphasis for his entire coaching tenure at OSU was that the ball is handed to the ref after every play.

Did anybody else think Joe Haden should've run that first pick back for a TD? All he had to do was keep going down the sideline, but he cut it back to the middle of the field. WTF? We ended up scoring (thank God), but that usually means "FG Attempt' for our team. Maybe he's just rusty with the ball in his hands.

Two can play that game. Stop it at 4 sec just as the ball is leaving his hands. That ref is in perfect position to see it all.
