Great article about game today

The Browns Board
35 18 1.2k
  • You've got to look at this game as a positive. With an average NFL

    kicker this is a win. Kessler can be an average QB and hold the fort

    til McCown gets back and until we get a franchise QB.

    I was somewhat impressed with the defense and their ability to stop

    the run. Granted Miami is still a lower rung NFL team but all in all a

    good job stopping the run compared to previous Browns teams.

    Browns COULD be 2-1 with a decent kicker and throwing out that

    bullshit call against Pryor in the Ravens game.

    For the love of god get someone who can play right offensive tackle!!!!!!!!

    This is the sad story every year. Could be, should be - but we're 0-3.

    There's a lot of positives to take away from this game IMO, which is pleasantly surprising since I thought we were going to get killed.

    Cody Parkey needs to get cut asap, but otherwise the team showed promise in a lot of ways.

    I think people are just happy with how we have improved each week. Players are not quitting, other guys stepping up. We see a team that is improving.

    There is alot of cynicism out there and it will take a while to overcome it.

  • Can't understand how anyone can be a sunshine pumper for this team.. year in.. year out.. it's the same...

    i do agree with that, however we have seen this before many times. We still don't know how to win. we have shown improvements from time to time with each coach we have had only to show complete failure. I know this is only 3 games in but i still see the same old shit...blown leads...penalties...missed opportunities like the missed fg yesterday. to me for improvement i need to see the w's start to accumulate. You are right about the players not quitting also, but seen that before. Unless it translates to wins, its all for nothing.

    He does need to be cut. And pastztor needs to be at least benched.

    what kind of message is it to cut Lee for not making the special teams tackle, (which didn't end up being a bad decision), but not cut the kicker that sucked and lost up the game.

    If the browns have the playoffs on the line, do we want this guy kicking?

    phil dawson would've nailed it.

    aside from that i'm happy with the direction hue and kessler have us heading.

  • It really sucks losing a game because your kicker misses 3 field goals inside the 50. Including a dead center potential game winner. Hard to really fault the players or coaches for yesterday - especially missing Coleman, Haden, McCown, etc.

    Our talent sucks balls that's the bottom line, nobody expected us to win a lot of games this year. They're exceeding expectations so far despite being 0-3 - people have reason for early cautious optimism with the direction they're going.

    I don't think our talent sucks balls. In fact, on offense I think the Browns could prove to have one of the most talented skill players in the league:

    Crow/Duke/Barnidge/TP/Coleman/Gordon when he gets back...and a couple of decent backups in our rookies and Hawkins.

    We have Pro Bowlers on the Left side of our line....a steady veteran now at center....

    But yes, on offense we have a few spots of concern. QB as always. RT...maybe RG 8 out of 11 solid, talented players on offense.

    Defense may be a bit more concerting. We need a better pass rush, and better coverage. Injuries don't help.

    pryor might be the best athelete this team has had since jim brown...i believe he could have kicked the game winning fg yesterday...i think he can play just about any position on the field if asked including lb and db given the chance to practice those positions. Most importantly, I think he will be a leader on this team which is what we need...

  • You guys realize when you say "we look the same as every other year" that we are "looking the same" with a roster like 4 years younger on average across the board? That's improvement.

    yeah well, we have been young alot since 99. I'm not going to go back and figure out the avg age, but we have been young alot. we have been the youngest team in the nfl more than once or twice or close to it and we are still young with 1 playoff to show for it. It's ok to be young, its a natural cycle in all sports but during those cycles it has to pay off and it still has not for this franchise...

  • I really thought that Pryor would never make the team, boy was I wrong. Dude is a beast that wants to win. I love it. I really think we can beat the Skins and I like our chances.

  • Of course they have the Skins 9.5 favorites but they had the Phins 9.5 fav as well. The great part of yesterday was seeing Philly kick the shit out of Pisspuke

    0 and 3 but it's a good 0-3 right? WTF?

  • Some of these so called fans think it was good because it was close. If you ask me a 30 point loss is easier to digest than another heartbreaker

    Yep, that almost always almost winning is for the birds and apparently Texans too

    Easier to digest? Yeah...probably because you stop caring once you realize that the game is lost and move on to other things. I'd rather have the close games and hopefully the team will start to win some of them then have games where its over early like the Pisspuke game yesterday.

    Mark, I always want the Browns to come out on top.period! But they rarely do. Is there hope? Sure. But 20 years of bad football tends to make people skeptical. Hell, we got pussies on here that think losing is a good thing. I'll take one long time, pissed off but loyal Browns fan over 50 of those pussy wanna lose password any day. And when we do start winning some games again, you can bet this corner of Ohio explodes like a powder keg.
