    I think it was more of getting situational 4th down reps rather than necessarily wanting to win. They had a lot of 4th and manageable spots in opposing territory.

  • Where do we get us some of dem dere ka-jo-knees?

  • I think at this point fumbles and dropped passes are a far bigger issue. That is what leads to FG's or nothing. Some WR's are gonna be in the hot seat this coming week.

    Yea he had one good run. Was hoping for more out of him. I can see BT and TW being a nice one two punch though

  • Does anyone really care about the final score of a preseason game? One complete pass in The regular season means more than all preseason combined. I hope the browns go 0-4 in preseason just so I can laugh at all the water-heads griping about something they'll forget about by the time September hits.

  • The lack of passion from Pettine disturbed me.

    Seemed like a carbon copy of all the other coaches, players not playing motivated or with any passion.

    What pissed me off was not going for it on fucking 4th and inches in a preaseason game. Dude, inspire some confidence.

    Agree... but hope is is simply pacing himself...

    I also did not understand the kneel down at the end of the first half with time outs on the board. Seems to me we could have gotten some more valuable tape than that...

    That was a teaching moment for JF on how to run the Victory formatiion. He has trouble learning when to get down. 😛

    Like, is that really an issue? Look at Paul Brown, Chuck Noll, Bill Belichick.....not exactly the life of the party types.

    Demeanor is irrelevent. Competence is.

    Yeah, plus it was preseason. I'm not really concerned.

    Pettine actually adressed this in his presser. He admitted that he was surprised that he was able to stay calm and collected during a couple points in the game that, had the game mattered, would have had him screaming (like the kickoff fumble).

    Not life-of-the-party and not raving lunatics, but hardly examples of dispassionate sideline coaches...
