  • Getting pretty close guys only 9 more to go. Horton on the block? Is it hue? Is this why the raiders let him go? If we go 0-20 what's the chances of us signing any free agent talent? Better yet what are the chances Draft Picks start declining to play for us?

  • Can not fire hue Jackson. That is all.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Horton should be hearing "Who....you gonna coach for next year" It may not be in Cleveland.

    The defense has been bad......both talent wise and coaching wise.

    I know we've axed a few head coaches mid season and did the interim thing. When was the last OC or DC that got canned midseason? Fire Horton so he can spend the holidays in the Crib? Or make him suffer the season too?

    No. Keep him here.....let him suffer through this mess....partially of his own making.

    I'm not on the 0-16 train anymore. Had the Dolphins beat. Everyone stays, at least through next year.

    Exactly. I can't find any egregious mistakes and I don't see a scapegoat. I think we all realized we were in for a rocky road and this is what we're getting. Every game has had some exciting parts and every game, for the most part, has been within reach.

    If anything we missed on Carson Wentz but remember the first guy taking Jared Goff is nothing to write home about. I never liked RG3 but at one time he could have been Elite. Unfortunately he never got back to form. When this new bunch of kids finally gets there feet underneath them I think they will show marked improvement over the next year or two.

    The organization has never seemed to be the cluster fuck it was with Mike Pettine and Ray Farmer at odds with each other.

    has goff even been given a chance yet...i don't think so...they have a fucked up coach with an ego and continues to play a loser qb...i don't think we know anything about goff yet...

    Correction, the fan base takes the fall every year.

  • Only 8 more games... at this rate i'm thinking we may see a coaching/front office change at the bye week...rumor has it hue has begun to have his control of the roster limited 🙁. Also hue has been increasingly involved defense leading to a growing rift between him and horton but hey you get what you get when you pick a coach for his looks

  • I'd typically say the blame is squarely on the fans but they are starting to come around. The stadium was pretty empty for game 8 and Hue was asked the question in his postgame presser. What is really needed is a chorus of boos when the shit goes south, bags over heads and banners saying "Jimmy Go Take A Flyer" or "FBI: Failing Browns Inevitable". Until this becomes uncomfortable nothing will change. I don't think Hue is a bad coach but no other franchise will be asking to meet with him in the offseason for an opening. And as a few of us in here will admit, the team is talentless.

  • What did the Browns accomplish today? McCown threw for over 300 yards in a loss! We still don't know who our QB of the future is?

    Is playing McCown over Hogan the smart thing to do? We won't win any games with that defense so why not see what Kessler and Higan have to offer. What are they waiting for?

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    Or Hogan has to offer

    I wouldn't mind losing if the Browns Front Office was moving in the right direction or was developing an identity! They have no identity!

  • We take the fall. Go Browns

  • fire horton, hire pettine as DC? 😉

    but in all seriousness, leave the FO as is for at least another year. The rookies weren't terrible today, when was the last time we could say that there were multiple rookies making an impact and looking like they will stick around in this league? Start Kessler once he's healthy and see what we have, hopefully the FO builds up the defense through next year's draft.

  • If we fire hue, whos this "next man up" character? Cause frankly horton would prob not even be here again if it werent for hue. Who would our DC have been? Nobody wanted to fucking come here. Im still scratching my head why hue came. Think about that for a monent, we wouldnt even have been able to bring ray fucking horton in if it werent for hue.

    The browns are one more coach firing away from being relegated to div 3?coaches who are trying to get into div 2 coaching by having an nfl team on their resume. That is not hyperbole, most div 1 coaches have zero desire to cock up their career by coming to the browns for a year.

  • Don't even talk about firing anyone.

  • Fire the person that fired the SIX SCOUTS before the 2016 draft! Someone has to be held accountable for the worst draft in modern history! DePodesta and Sushi should be the first to get their Pink Slips! Hue stays because in reality it's Haslam who's to blame! It's not all on Hue! He has to get more than one draft and one season. FIRE HASLAM

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • When you consistently blow 1st half leads, that's coaching. Their team adjusted, ours didn't.
