  • The problem i have with shurmur isnt what he is doing at 5-8 but what he would do at 8-5 with the playoffs on the line..

    The guy takes no chances and playoff caliber teams have to be willing to push things..

    A re-hired pat shurmur would be more conservative than he already is in a season with absolutely nothing to lose, a situation which is unacceptable imho..

    I will say the past few weeks the browns coaching staff has done a far better job all the way around but nevertheless shurmurs over conservative tendencies in tough situations cannot be ignored..

    This is my biggest concern as well. We have had to many games where our win or lose was by to narrow a margin. He's been way to conservative. Perhaps he's been watching game film (hopefully) and is seeing that in himself, thus the change. I just don't know if it's enough change to keep or want to keep him around.

    As much as most of us bash Shurmur when he's been bad you got to give him credit, he's been pretty damn solid the past few games.

    It's week 15 the players are still playing hard for him and we are actually in the playoff hunt?

    Let's enjoy it.
