Sincere Apology

If there's anything remotely "good" about Coleman getting hurt, it's that we'll have no choice BUT to keep Josh Gordon if/when he gets reinstated, LOL. Our WR's are pretty bad, so it'd be insane to cut/trade the guy. Regardless of how many times we've tried with him, right? LOL
If that ain't some silver lining bull crap, I don't know what is.

I wasn't bothered so much by Kizer's play---he's a rookie and he looked like one.
What makes me scream at the tv is the dropped passes. Lord, the drops. Can anyone on this team catch the fucking ball?!? It's tough enough for a rookie quarterback but when you throw in no running game and receivers who constantly drop the ball, it's damn near impossible to be successful.
Second---stupid penalties. I'm talking about shooting ourselves in the foot before the ball is ever snapped. Making manageable situations (3rd and 3) tough or tough situations (3rd and 8, illegal motion, now it's 3rd and 13) damn near impossible to overcome. Still. After years upon years, with a revolving door of coaches and we still can't get the play off on time or without someone jumping before the snap.
Say what you will about Ghoolie, but he is right---our receivers are shit.

Those penalties had me screaming. Delay of games, false starts, illegal formations...goddamn it's the most frustrating thing in the world.

really? how about Higgins, finally getting his big chance? you think he stunk up the joint? wr's didn't have much of a day vs the ratbird secondary last week either. the ratbird defense was dominant all preseason. Right now, I'm
unhappy with Britt - he's worse than Gregg LIttle. Little would BLOCK.

Britt looks like the lost puppy someone brought home who shits on the laundry after he tears it up. Then he just grins and says, "Don't you just love puppies!"

That is coaching.
Does anyone think that Hue should hire an OC and stick to being the HC?

jiggins, don't worry about it. We're all frustrated as hell.
The Ratbirds got a gift victory, no doubt about it. The big tease is the Browns moved the football fairly well and imploded themselves. The Ratbird D is improved, but hey, I think they lose that game yesterday to 60% of the NFL.
Regarding the running game, I have to agree we should have ran more. Dayes should have been involved more as well, he's a pretty shifty back. Crowell hasn't really gotten it going, but 14 carries isn't enough anyway.
Colts are on deck, and it appears to be an even game on paper. Will the Browns keep shooting themselves in the foot? Will they use the astroturf to their advantage and get Duke and Dayes more involved? Njoku too...guy's got speed, his hands are questionable.

Well everyone, I wanted to humbly apologize for my behavior in the Ravens game thread, and that's not the fan I want to be now or ever. The entire game unfolded EXACTLY as I predicted the entire damn week, yet here I am like a petulant little child during the game spouting off like an immature brat. That's unacceptable and I'm sorry. Anybody that reads my posts know that I TRY to be optimistic and insightful, if not redundant and long-winded. Something happened during the game that just made me "snap", and it's no excuse, but that's what happened. All of the losing seasons, all of people making fun of me, all of the ridiculous losses and things you just can't make up...somehow came together and made me temporarily insane.
I watch every game, every year, and have done so for quite some time now, despite living in Florida since I was 4. I've spent untold thousands flying to games, driving to others, and of course the money needed to purchase the damn Sunday Ticket and watching at bars. All week long I told anybody who would listen that the Ravens game would be an unmitigated disaster. I think I predicted 27-13 Ravens, with Kizer throwing 2 picks and fumbling once. I was pretty close. Yet despite knowing this information in my heart, I still went ballistic. Say what you will about Andy Dalton, but the guy has a shit load of wins in the NFL, and you don't get those by accident. Everyone saw what the Ravens did to HIM, so why in the world would it be ANY different with a rookie?
I think what completely crushed me is despite all of the turnovers, WE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE THAT GAME. I mean, think about it. What happens if Kevin Hogan just takes the sack instead of throwing that absurd pick? Christ, the game is 14-7 going into half, right?
When we made the decision to start a rookie QB with a history of not being so accurate, we HAD TO KNOW it would be like this, yet for some reason, that doesn't make it any easier. I'm not sure I have the required patience needed to make it through another season like this, and while it's only been two games against stiff competition, there are still things I need to see on a weekly basis. I need to see people catching the ball. I need to see touchdowns in the red zone. I MUST see better clock management and play-calling. I MUST see a team that doesn't turn it over ALL of the time.
My biggest concern is that Kizer doesn't have what it takes. At this point, I consider him to be "our QB of the future", and I really think he can be the guy we've needed for 20 years. I remind myself that Peyton Manning had a hundred INT's his rookie year, and I remember he said he learned the most about football when he was down 30 points as a rookie. Kizer faced two VERY tough teams that are both 2-0, and he finally gets an easier match up this week. Of course, he won't have Corey Coleman who broke his hand again, but hey, what else is new? Even though it's only week 3, it's safe to say that Kizer needs a better game or things will start to come apart. Hue Jackson can only say "We'll learn from this" so many weeks in a row before shit turns ugly inside the locker room. I still believe in Kizer, and I fully believe he and our team will have a better performance come next weekend. In fact, I'm close to predicting a Browns victory, but I want to study the Colts a bit more.
So in typical Jiggins fashion, I made a very long post with a very short message, and that's to say, "I'm sorry". Being a childish asshole isn't my style, and it won't happen again. We're going to look better this week against the Colts, and it wouldn't surprise me if the running game busted loose, and Kizer has the kind of day where he only throws about 18 times. My unofficial score is 17-13, Browns, with Kizer going 9-18 for 140 yards, with 1 pick and 1 TD.

Whenever I get frustrated watching the Browns, I find the best way to relax is with a bottle of booze and a hooker.

Fair Hooker?
