DEN lost because they sucked at everything, can't draw any conclusion from that beatdown. Houston lost because their QB couldn't do anything, not shocking.. they'd probably win the AFC with either schaub or leinart.

Yes, we need playmakers at WR, but we need DL and OL MORE than either WR or QB. Yes, Cruz was an undrafted FA, but his season is only possible because Nicks was a first-rounder.

In short, we need talent at many spots including QB/WR, but DL/OL should continue to be the priority.

You saw the teacher (Brady) teaching the student (Tebow) just how far removed the latter is from being an upper tiew NFL QB. brady was masterful in leading the offense. His confidence and abilities raised the play of his teammates. He is truely a leader/warrior. ... slowburn

sure. Odd, Brady and Brees must have lost al-l-l-l-l-l-l their confidence in 2010, eh? I guess Brees and Brady

lost allll their confidence, and gosh knows, every freakin bit of their abilities and became stinkin followers and forgot how to lead,

and became losers who were completely stupid as to how to be able to "raise the play of their teammates", when they played the Browns then, huh?

You know what I saw today in the NE- Denver game? Brady had time to have lunch, and survey the field before he launched a pass. So don't tell me effective line play isn't important. Yeah- he has good skill players too- but it all starts with the o-line blocking.

How many of his passes too were straight down the middle. Yes he had some down the sides, but there always seems to be someone crossing down the middle. I really can't think of anytime that we did that once this past year.

Every game i've seen the D has won the game, even in the new england game...they never let Tebow take a breath...and even though all the broncos fans are saying that Coach B. was to hard on them and it was unsportsmanlike to pad the score they should be tickled to think that coach B. realized that with Teboy in the game is never over...heck a meteor could have fallen and taken out the entire new england team...you never know...in my opinion the score was still a bit to close for comfort.

YAY !!!!!!

That's what happens when the OL BLOCKS, Hillis is HEALTHY and RUNS, and we CATCH the ball and MAKE PLAYS... Colt will be a good if not great NFL QB, he just needs some weapons to make it work.

We need to solidify the OL or we're never going to be good.

tebow, the run and his so-called new passing game was non-existent. it woulda been more exciting if they didn't even show up.

fxxk denver. irrelevant now.

scheme that completely takes the opponent to his knees/ No big bellidick fan, but is was pretty effin obvious he had no intention

whatsoever of losing his third consecutive playoff game. hope shumur watched and learned.

You saw the teacher (Brady) teaching the student (Tebow) just how far removed the latter is from being an upper tiew NFL QB. brady was masterful

in leading the offense. His confidence and abilities raised the play of his teammates. He is truely a leader/warrior. Hope Colt watched and learned.

SF-NO game was classic. Could be, for me, one of the best playoff games ever.

The magic continues today. I like both home teams to cover the line easily.

God bless America and f ghoolie.

and even when Tebow had time, he had nobody open to throw to.Bad matchup. The Browns

could have played a great defensive game against the Pats... again. Things are lookin up for the Browns.

And no change-up on playcalling. The squeelers were stupid and off guard,

but the Pats were ready.

I saw outstanding pass protection for Brady, and Brady many quick throws - when he had at least one wide open

outlet every play, usually two, sometimes three open wr's.

I don't see anyone busting down a wall for Pat.

Here is what I saw. This week and last week...............

pass after pass that Colt McCOy doesn't make and can't make.

Tebow beat the Steelers with a quick release, just as the guy broke. Colt would have waited until the guy was way downfield.

As I watched, Smith, Tebow, Brees, Big Ben, and Brady, I saw Quarterbacks so far above the skill level of McCoy that it is frightening.

Likewise I saw RBs, WRs, DBs and LBS far far above the level of our players.

All the way around the huddle, the Browns are lacking.

What I bolded may be why you are so down on McCoy. Although I really didn't see too many DBs better than ours. The Giants DBs and the 49ers DBs (for most of the game) played well but that was about it. All of the playoff teams that have won games also seem to have great defensive lines and great WRs/TEs for the QBs to throw to..

I agree with all the points.. but let's agree, everything hinges on our QB. Look I want Colt to succeed, but he did not show the type of tenacity that you saw out of Brees, Smith or right now Brady. But you guys are right, these teams show us that we are so far away, that it's almost depressing.

lets not agree

@brownskidd said:

I hope we all saw today that Cleveland needs a QB that is going to have the balls to throw the tough pass to a WR that might not be "open" but let's them make a play. I hope Colt was watching or our next QB

Would you trust throwing the ball to Greg Litte, MoMass, or Watson when they aren't "open" and expect them to make a play? I sure wouldn't. Colt's not the problem. The lack of play-makers that can make plays when they aren't "open" is the problem.

not really. at least let's see what the next heckert draft and off-season FA can do for us.

yeah FA. hopefully the FO WILL do something to upgrade a position here or there next year.

i'm not a PROfessor of anything holmgren but i do think heckert is a GREAT GM.

maybe we can all toast to a fresh, young start to next year cleveland browns' season.

What we saw today was great coaching, Harbaugh had the balls to win this game not play for a field goal like Shurmur. It also told us that sometimes it takes a while to develop a great QB which Alex Smith was today. Personally I think we should upgrade the personnel around McCoy before moving to someone else.

GTFO here with your need another QB shit you little twerps. what was alex smith? a HC away from getting cut and if you had it your way you'd cut mccoy.

dummies.

hahaha
