This irked me the most in the game, 1st and ten at about the 35, 2:10 left in the game(or something like that) sure run it on first down to force cincy to take a timeout. But wtf with running on 2nd? even if we didn't lose 1-2 yrds it was already a 50+ fg into the wind(hard to make even with a good snap). Do play action, throw a slant try to pick up 3-5yrds to have an easier 3rd down...don't run a sweep with Hillis, if you have to run with Hillis run between the tackles.

He has heart. At the very least we can tolerate him and build up the team and then replace him, thats what good teams do. Look at how the Steelers tolerated Maddox.

hits McCoy before he can complete throwing the ball.

And, the defensive rusher goes right past Lauvao and get McCoy.

And, Shurmur simply running twice when the defense was looking for him to, as usual, "take time off the clock", and the bad no call

of defensive interference on that fateful throw to Little.

well, then there was the Bengals receiver getting up and pushing Patterson back down to the ground forcefully before Patterson could straighten up....

yep... NO CALL. But the ref was looking to see if Patterson would retaliate........

The Bengals simply attacked the right side of the Browns oline and that's all she wrote. It didn't help with the receivers droppiing passes earlier on...

Little is going to be a star for the Browns. Pashos played very poorly a lot of the game...

Really? Did you watch the same game I did? McCoy was screwed by receivers dropping ball after ball. Little had like 4 or 5 drops alone. I think I counted about 10 to 12 drops over the entire game. McCoy's only mistake was the interception but he threw for 2 touchdowns as well. The Browns played well, but you can't move the ball when you keep shooting yourself in the foot. And why can't Pontbriand snap the ball?

The game should be never been that close.

The protection really reverted in the second half. Hillis looked good minus a little rust of a couple of plays.
