The Very First Hint Of A Decent Team And We Turn Into The Old Browns

Hunt Daddy

I've seen more plastic bags flying into the camera's view on the field than points the Browns have.

and trying to figure out if the WCO is even the right fit for the offense

you better hope so because that what holmgren and his regime has brought in and i don't think you'll ever see him change his mind and admit he was wrong.

hey it's still early in the season BUT we played much better last year with a tougher schedule.

Should have kept Mangini and his system, this is what you get for changing leadership every couple of years. No offensive line, no wide receivers, Defense is looking pathetic as usual. Oh well. Time for another drink.

Unflappable

I do have to say that there is something very much "off" about watching Colt in the WCO sometimes. He literally looks restricted.

Mangini's system gave him freedom and without any playmaker WR's, I really think you run the risk of stunting his growth if it's just one checkdown after another.

Browns

Can someone teach Hardesty how to catch the ball!!

Hardesty came from the University of Tennessee so I shouldn't expect much from him.

FearTheRoo

This team gave up in the 2nd quarter. Don't think I've ever seen that before in the NFL. I'm sure there are some high school teams out there that would have at least put up a better fight...

It's Tennessee. Not Greenbay, not Baltimore, not New England...but we make every crap team look like a superbowl contender

Browns

I'm getting sick and tired of hardesty.

Unflappable

Good lord at Hardesty.

Amazingly, if Baltimore loses tonight, we stay tied for first.

Its not the wrs calling the plays....its not the wrs checking down, its no the wrs throwing ducks that hang in the air for 5 minutes. I by no means love these receivers, but I see alot of you using them as the scapegoat for noodles. I saw open receivers, and a QB that can't get them the ball. I also saw an OC that has no clue how to call a game.

why cant we win

how is the ball in the air for 5 mins if they arent going over 5 yards a throw lol

Canton Mike

No excuses. The Browns simply played poorly. On to next week.

The single player that is driving me nuts is Sheldon Brown. He is a 32 yr old vet & got burned for a short TD (AND interfered) without EVER looking back for the ball? Try him at safety or stick a fork in him....he's done.

As far as Hardesty, maybe he should have been pulled due to his drops, but Hillis may still be a little run down.

I'm still a Brown's Fan but I'm also realistic. They are heading in the right direction, but they also have a ways to go.

And we weren't tied for first....we are 0-1 in the division....which tied us with Pitt for second. Now since Cincinnati won, we're tied for last

choco

Why: see the pick returned for a TD

Lots of blame to go around in this one from the playcalling right down to personnel choices and execution..

I am downgrading from an 8-8 season to a 7-9...

This team still has a long way to go and the titans did a good job of painfully revealing most of what needs work to the naked eye..

Nobody mentioned the shitty tackling- unacceptable.

I was worried about the defense, and today, it all came to be. We have no speed at LB at all. The opposing TEs are going to kill us the rest of the season, we can't cover the TE.

slowburn

Despite obvious lack of talent/playmakers the browns looked like they were just going through the motions today. It's pretty early in the season to put out such a lackadasical

effort. Shumur has to shoulder the blame for the embarassing performance at home. The 97 yd pick six was disgraceful. Factor in having to endure the network

commentator pointing out just how lousy the Browns' are every five minutes and you end up with a waste of a Sundy afternoon. f gannon

1 more season

Tennesee is a good team. Browns played bad today for sure but 2-2 at the quarter is better than 1-3 last year.

Hills must not be 100% after the strep.

Good call Bob.. we also have no speed at RB... no speed at receiver... and with the exception of Haden, no speed in the defensive backfield... Usama Young on the 80 yd TD... WTF?????

Fujiita and Gocong run like they're stuck in the mud...

We are so slow it is almost painful to watch...

Jibz

This coaching staff refuses to make changes during half time to adjust the game.

They decide we are going to throw the ball and even if it doesn't work... they stick with it.

I still see positives and think this WILL be a good team..... soon!
