We Lost. It Sucked. But There Were Some Positives.

The team looked terribly undisciplined. I miss Mangini already.

Blame Haden if you want on that TD catch because it is his fault, but NO ONE on the defense was ready and the WR was 20 yards wide open on the other side of the field as well. Besides that fact that our most of our O-Line minus Mack looked like a pile of shit I think the person I was most disappointed in was Ward. Was 20 yards out of position on Bensons TD run and got burnt in coverage all day.
Jackson played extremely well, both Phil Taylor and Rubin played very well, I think Sheard is still showing improvement, MoMass showed some stuff, Hardesty and Hillis did well considering that shitty blocking, McCoy was good when he could get some protection, Joe Haden minus that one play had a all pro caliber day. Considering all of that it doesn't matter when you end up shitting down your leg and losing to one of the worst football teams in the NFL. The shittiest part was that I think the coaching schemes were good, the players lost this one. If I were Shurmer I would run make them all run a lap for every single penalty flag and I would make them do it as a team. Mangini might not have been a great coach but he had the right idea when it came to punishing players for mistakes and it worked, 3rd fewest penalties called the last two seasons. That shit is embarrassing and Shurmer should be pissed.

Well, the Colts and Steelers got blasted, and they don't have a new coach with a complete new system with a bunch of new players playing new positions...
and they still played intense, and nearly could have won the game.
I figured they've have problems with two completely new guys on the offensive line.
Though, Pinkston got manhandled by one dlineman several times, being pushed right into the backfield near McCoy..
The Browns had a nice pass rush, made adjustments started shutting down the run, and Haden
played an outstanding game. But for the one play, Green wouldn't have been able to get one catch, I think.
Learning, jelling experience. But RT and Lg is still a major problem, and we need a new cb opposite Haden.
The old guy they have there just isn't quick enough anymore.
I bet they bounce back next week bigtime.

No positives with a game like that.

No positives.
0-1.
Conference loss.
Lose against a terrible team with a backup qb.
In my drunkeness, i can't see anything to be happy about now.

This franchise stinks. I didn't expect anything different. I just hope when they are 0-2 when I'm at the Dolphin game they win. What makes me laugh is every year Browns fans are sooo optimistic and the reality is this franchise is so poorly managed they will never be successful. They are the Clippers of the NFL....

I read this book last year.
I very much believe when it was 17-13 we changed our offensive attack and defensive scheme to burn clock and when it started raining the bengals caught us in one of the worst defense laps maybe in all of professional history not one personal was lined up to cover anyone, that ended the game... i had a glimmer of hope when i thought Josh broke the side line with 3:30 left and i saw Little deck him with the best hit in the game and all the energy i built up the last 60 days exploded out of my chest and i am xxxxing PISSED OFF
Division Loss to the Bengals .... Rookie QB goes down and their backup burns us for the game terrible

Like i said before im not really measuring the browns progress by wins and losses this year, there was some very good things going on underneath the obvious fact that this is a new system with new coaches that had very little time to prepare the club..
Anyone that thinks mangini could have done any better needs to take their blinders off, this team has a ways to go before it gets where it needs to go but we will see growth as the season wears on and the players meld and gel, it still sucks being a browns fan and will for a while longer...
This team seems to have a real problem with playing in wet weather, may i suggest cold water hoses and sprinklers at practice this week?
At least coach shurmur puts the rap on himself along with his players the whole team has much to do not for this year as much as for next year..
We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS! -

I don't wanna start a mangini vs shurmur thread cuz shurmur is our future but manginis teams were disciplined and didn't commit penalties like this one.

If the NFL didn't measure progress by wins and losses the Browns would have a shot at the SuperBowl

holmgren looks like a genius today. i'm really trying to hold back with the anti-holmgren thing, because like many of you with all these prognostications i could turn out looking like an ass.
yes it's the first game of a new season with little time to prepare. hmmmm....just like every other team in the NFL.
