  • So back to a coin toss for the Browns' kicker position.

  • That took no time off the clock at all went 3 yards backwards missed the field goal, That is just classic playing to lose Browns we seen the past 20 years

    See #3 regarding hands contact with neck or helmet. In this case the QB's head moved forward and down when contact was made. That is going to be seen as "forcibly" if it so much as moves, so why the hell would you do that? I guarantee who gets blamed when Freddie sees the tape. It won't be the refs.

    It was a complete flop by there in the QB he was just tapped it was nothing forcible about it. And then why didn’t they call it when our quarterback got the same thing done to him

    You missed the point. Why would you even risk it being seen differently. Don't touch the head. End of story. Freddie will insure they all hear it too.

  • The announcers are pointing out that there have been over 300 yards of penalties on both teams in this game and that at least half of them are calls it should never have been made

  • A few min ago ESPN had us at 88% win and now it is under 55% We are not playing good D at all

    Again I ask why and when our quarterback was slapped him in the head did they not call it then. Should not rule apply in all situations?

  • I guess all we can say is that it is preseason for the referees as well

  • And now they have colts at 60% win 

  • We had to keep it close I guess

    Doesn't matter what wasn't called on them. What matters is what we did. He had all 5+ feet of body to work with from feet to shoulders for only a touch. Just plain stupid.

    were the only football game on..why lose tv rating not keeping it close? Winning is nice, but not what coaching staffs really care about..it's about seeing the last 10 guys they decide to keep..  

  • Too many penalties but some of that goes to the refs with questionble calls.

  • We have so fucking many willies and Willie on this team.

  • Im at a concert and couldnt see the game so I looked on line for a recap...described the 3 browns scores and ended with

    The rest of the game was pretty devoid of anything other than penalties

    Hahaha

    Bottom line I agree with Bernie Kosar that was a call that never should’ve been made

    what was Bernie's reasoning?

    He noted that several calls including this one were better off not call because they were so minuscule and because the penalty had absolutely no effect on the play whatsoever   

  • The Good:

    D'Ernest Johnson can play RB in the NFL, and he's going to be on a roster. Probably not ours, but who knows? He can run, he can catch, and he's tough. If he doesn't make our 53, somebody will pick him up. 

    And hello Mr. Montgomery! That guy just keeps making plays at WR and our WR room is going to be cramped as hell. 

    Gilbert throwing for around 150 yards and two TDs. This guy can really play, and I think he's making a serious case for staying on the roster as our 3rd qb. Nice arm strength, above average accuracy, and he definitely knows where to go with the pill. Yes, I know it's preseason, but still. Gilbert really made the game watchable and fun. 

    The Bad:

    Our defense's inability to finish plays and tackle, especially in the back field. I saw 3 or 4 plays where we couldn't finish off the tackle, including a 4th down play where Mack Wilson ran right BY Brissett which allowed him to complete a long pass. I will never understand why defensive players don't try and slow down a little bit and grab the qb around waist or something. I didn't like seeing Jacobi Brissett look like Joe Montana against our 1st team defense. 

    Penalties. Good lord the penalties. To be fair, some of the calls were total bull crap, but geez. I guess this is why you play preseason games, but I could tell Freddie was PISSED. 

    The Ugly:

    The kicking game. This is the second week in a row where we tried to get a FG at the end of a half and screwed it up. 

    It might be preseason, but it's getting about time to be somewhat worried our kickers. Many games in the NFL come down to the last couple minutes. I'd hate to be on the fringe of the playoffs and need a kick to finish off a contest. Our guys couldn't connect in a dome, and I was really hoping one of them would pull away from the other. 

  • Since hardly any first stingers even played who cares.  Basically a scrimage.

    am guilty of being wrong again..the Colts fumbled shot gun snap that Kelly falls on like a bomb, is with 14 mins. still left in 4th..not only was there 1 whistle blown. but there was 2 whistles blowing play dead.. we never had to touch Kelly, the play was dead on 2 whistles..my bad
