  • Thank God for not letting Brandon McDonald replace Wright!

  • Ryan and mangini and the teams poor execution and penalties at times get the torch this week...

    Ryan for keeping wright in after getting burnt twice..

    And mangini for the gutless call to punt on 4th and 2...lets see we were 0-2 and down 7 with under 5 minutes left yeah lets punt...gutless coach..

    There was much more fault with player execution and discipline than with coaching and playcalling this week but wtf happened to mangini's discipline?

    Mangini will always find a way to fudge a game if he gets the chance to make a decision...otherwise it was a well played game that like the last 2 could have and should have been won...

    So eric mangini threw that bullshit pitch that hillis didn't catch? And eric mangini is the reason that our pass rush can't get to the QB? And eric mangini is the one drawing ridiculous unnecessary roughness penalties?

    btw on that 4th and 2 we were going to run a fake but the ravens caught it. It was the right call to punt the ball away. We had chances to stop them but our defense drew a penalty on 3rd and 4 and boom..gameover.

    It is getting really annoying coming in here and reading about you knuckleheads wanting to fire our head coach. This team is LIGHT YEARS from where we were last season. What was the score of the first Ravens game? 30-3? How much better does 24-17 sound right now? GIVE IT TIME!!

  • How do you not replace Wright with Haden today??? What could have been worst than getting beaten on every play? You can't get much worst than not contesting TD passes in a close game. That was the worst CB play I may have ever seen.

  • It's bad enough that on a team that we have no receivers that we don't even make a pitch for someone like Boldin, then we single cover him with that shit (Wright) that we displayed today? A Free-Agent scored three TD's on us today, did we even have three receiving catches?

    How bad is it? So bad that Cribbs is our top receiver, hands down.

    Totally agree.It looked like he didn't even try on two of them but the first one he didn't even give himself a chance with his positioning.

  • I liked his coverage on the 2nd one the best......he was running 5 yards behind him and almost out of the xxxxing end zone...what did he really think he was going to do back there?

  • It's unbelievable we have over 140 yards rushing and still lose. Wright and Ryan lost this on for us. Looking at the highlights, Boldin is WIDE OPEN. Ryan should have taken Wright off him or at least got him help. It was disgusting.

    Even more disgusting is we didn't even try to get Boldin this offseason.

    I made the same comment over at Ed's, he darn near was out of play in coverage (if you want to call it coverage).

    May Kay reported from the Browns locker room that Wright blamed the loss on himself and stated that "He wasn't himself today". My nine year old daughter saw that he wasn't init today, how could we possibly parade him back out there?

  • Boldin is a top-10 WR in the league. Wright is not a top-10 corner in the league. There's your answer.

    This and your d-line is doing absolutely nothing to get to Flacco. You should expect this to happen. If you can't pressure the QB, have a top WR and a QB with a strong arm it's going to happen. Eric Wright should not shoulder the blame alone in this one but people are tossing the guy under the bus. I've never been big on Wright but he's solid or at least has been solid. Elite WR's abuse defense if their QB's can get time, especially when they have time.

  • Were was Evan Moore at today, I dont recall even seeing him on the field

  • I thought I would be happy if we kept within 10 points of the Ratbirds... To lose on such stupid mistakes is ridiculous.

    We should be 3-0 right now...

    At this point it is all about discipline.

  • Pressuring the QB will always help make a bad CB look better, but it wouldn't have mattered today. On the TD receptions he wasn't even in position to make a play. As we already said...on the 2nd one he nearly was out of the back of the end zone while Boldin ran in front of him....what the hell is going to do 5 yards behind the guy in the end zone?

    I agree Homo, but he got TORCHED for 150+ and 3 TD's and the coverage he was playing was horrid.

    The pass rush can help but you gotta make plays, Asamougha has a bad pass rush in Oakland but he can lock down #1's.

    Aso has a pretty solid defense. You can't expect one CB to completely shut down a elite WR. Revis and Aso still have help over the top but more importantly they have d-lines getting pressure. Give Flacco all day and he's going to do some damage. Eric Wright isn't the goat in this one if you ask me. Ryan is also a bum but I've been saying that for a while as well. He looks the part and that's about it.

    Dude, did you even see the Browns/Ravens game today? If not, STFU for a day or two and let others discuss it. No one is talking about anyone shutting Boldin down, we are merely suggesting that we could have at least contested him. Go watch Sports Center, I think in the second TD you can see Wright's left hand in the corner of the TV while Boldin is scoring ... start there, then move to the Third TD where we had an all-out blitz on and Boldin shifted a 1/3 of his weight to the right (the same direction Wrights jock strap flew) and ran a non-contested seam route for an easy TD. Stop making broad stroke excuses on football 101, we are bitching about effort and heart, and your luke-warm guessing of the game comes off stupid. No offense, I just really don't have the stomach for you Steeler fucks today ... We are here to vent about the Browns, get out of the way.

  • Just when you think we have a solid situation at cb here comes Wright looking like the second coming of Brandon McDonald... WTF? Did wright have money on the ravens today or what? I'm rewatching the game on dvr and on the touchdown drive that put the ratbirds up 14-3 he isn't within 10 yards of Boldin on several plays. Let's hope this is an aberration for Wright. He is actually considered a pretty decent corner around the league.

  • His coverage gets worse...

    Keep watching

    FXXKING HILARIOUS!!!!! yeah i'm in a pretty shitty mood too. it's getting to the point where my GF doesn't even want to be around me on sundays. hey but i do think on an overall basis that we are improving. just think that rob ryan can be just as stubborn and block-headed as his brother rex. problem is: the talent on his D isn't the same.

    Stan, I agree Wright had a horrendous game- on the first TD he got beat on, he didn't even put his arms up to maybe distract the receiver.

    The second TD was a joke Boldin beat him so badly- but don't forget, Ward was real close to knocking Flacco on his as on that play.

    And drop the help BS. Mason and Hooshie-moosie had 34 yards in receptions. Rest of the team got pretty much shut down. Hooshie had one freaking reception. Give the Ratbirds credit for finding the weak link, and exploiting it. You pull coverage to double Boldin, and someone else goes off- ya think?

    Bottom line again- no pass rush. Hayden's already playing at an all-pro level, but until we can scare opposing qbs it isn't going to matter.

    Joe Haden??? He hardly got on the field. The most action he saw was on the consecutive series that we sent the Ravens packing 3-and-out. That's my point, When he is in, he is playing excellent and would have surely contested Boldin becuase that is the type of player Haden is. Haden & Sheldon Brown play physical, where Wright is more of a finesse CB. Today called for someone to get physical with Boldin at the line, slow or alter his route, which allows for a pass rush to finish off the paly as well. Boldin was making half-ass jukes at the line and was running wide-open thereafter.

  • Defense has to hold a team when it's 2nd and 23. Period. And on the go-ahead drive they let Baltimore out of jail.

    The defense just did not get it done in the 4th quarter today. This team was in a position to win a divisional game on the road against an opponent who was favored by 10.5 points. Now that right there ought to tell you something about the preparation in Berea this week. But I digress.

    The defense had played well coming into this game and outside of Wright's play and the overall play in the fourth quarter they continue to give reason for optimism. For starters, Ray Rice and the rest of the running game was contained. Next, Joe Haden is proving he's a tremendous cover corner in the making. The defense will be a top ten unit with about three more players. A strong safety, an inside linebacker, and a disruptive defensive tackle/end.

    This loss sucks. Hell, every loss sucks. But this fan base has to understand that the Browns are far, far, far from being a team we can expect to win week in and week out. People, we need to give Mangini and his staff a little bit of common sense and perspective. Until this team adds some playmakers on the offensive side (QB, #1 receiver) this team is just going to have to grind out the wins.

    That being said, I think Cincinnati is ripe for an upset next week. Palmer is playing like crap and we are stopping the run. Let's just hope our offense can get a few things going at home.
