Honest Recap of the Game?
-
Our Defensive secondary/LB coverage played poorly, particulary in the 2nd half. Detroits receivers are huge, the size difference really showed. Stafford made some great passes, showed what a real QB is.
We took some bad calls. Terrible PI's that were an abomination. Little completed a 2nd and 25, both feet were in. It got called OOB, was reviewed and htey didnt overturn it. We got screwed there, it was a huge possesion late in the 2nd half.
Dline played decent, stopped the run well enough for us to win.
Our line didnt lose the game for us, but got manhandled on more snaps than not.
Defense couldnt get off the field, O couldnt stay on.
Weeden is the worst QB in the NFL, his pathetic display cost us the game more than any other weakness we showed yesterday. Without some of his heinous pics they don't put up more than 17-24 points tops.
Weeden is an abomination.

We also had some shitty calls against us ... phantom pass interference against Haden and a roughing the passer against Groves when he 1) could not stop 2) did not wrap up the QB 3) did not put his head down or make helmet contact ... I guess you just can't touch a QB after he throws a pass anymore. Stafford laid there like he was inured, so that probably got the flag. Weeden got abused after some of his throws, but they didn't call it on them.

--No excuse though, they beat us.

Yes, we got jobbed on the PI call that gave them 7pts when they should've had to settle for 3, but I counted 5 Lions dropped passes in the first half, and if they catch all of them it's a much different half time score.
Whatever the coaches said to the Lions at halftime worked because the dropped passes ended and the ass kicking began.............We went into halftime Superman and came out Clark Kent. Like usual.

I'm not sure on the Little play that was called out of Bounds, there just wasn't really a good vantage replay that I saw to make the call.
Someone posted this on another thread, this was on Bush's long run to the left (wasn't called) :
So, yeah, there were some really questionalble calls and non-calls.
Overall though, I'd say it was a Team loss - we just collapsed in the second half.

Thanks everyone, that really helps a lot. The biggest thing that frustrates me about the Browns is how much they freaking implode in the 2nd half of football games. I swear there has to be double digit examples of the Browns leading at half and losing over the past few seasons. I'm in no way a Weeden supporter but it's like the coaches say "holy crap! we're actually winning at halftime, just do the same crap and hope it keeps working!" It can't just fall on the QB position it seems.
Saw that hit on Groves and even though it's total bullshit any team in the NFL would get called for it. It's that stupid launching rule that's ruining the game of football.

The Groves call was awful.
-
Was Groves the roughing the passer call? As much as I don't like the call, I sit here all day on Sunday and watch every game and that gets called 10 times out of 10. It's not the hit that gets the penalty...its the fact that he drove him back like 5 yards and into the ground after the ball was gone.

It's a sissy league now. Can't hit anybody over the middle and can't touch the QB. If you saw the Jenkins hit on a Amendola yesterday that's exactly what I'm talking about. Goodell is ruining the fucking game. Not to mention 3 fucking games in London next year. WTF are they doing?

Seriously, you may as well make it flag football! As for London? Why? I can understand playing games in Toronto, or Mexico City, but why London?
