Not during the game, had the boy with me. Took him home, came back and made up for lost time with the oldest.

No but they will be hearing Browns Dat if the second half teams shows up this Sunday!

Wow, Hoyer made it until 2:18 PM on here before calls for his head. About the same time one woman started calling for it at our Browns Backer Bar.

Is it too soon for a Ray Rice joke?

@topdawg31 said:

People that shell out 2k a year to sit and watch shit have every right to call them whatever they choose, I paid for that right.

So now its "$2k Speech"???

@choco said:

Great melt thread!!

lol... and it's only Week 1...

@sienn13 said:

I will remember not to try in the future after sitting in a Bar listening to Who Dat chants for 3 hours.

Were you able to resist yelling "Falcon DAT!" around 3:15 CST?

@usfbrown said:

u hit the nail on the head...yeah, we lost but at least they didn't give up. they fought back to tie, they made some plays....hopefully they will remember that and build on it....attitude is important....now they know they can out play people for a half...they need to learn to do it for a game...losing is always tough, but there's a long way to go.....

@sienn13 said:

well at least i hope you had some hurricanes to help bleed out the noise.

I'm guessing my attempt at drunk sarcasm didn't work? I will remember not to try in the future after sitting in a Bar listening to Who Dat chants for 3 hours.

@topdawg31 said:

man you must be a laugh riot in traffic.

hit anyone lately?

@diehardbrownsfan said:

For 35 minutes they played like clowns, for 25 minutes they played like a Brown, for everyone's sake they better not start off this week like they did against the steelers or that place will get loud and ugly real quick.

@topdawg31 said:

Then you aren't a fan. Just dumb.

Because Hoyer was tackling so horribly and everything.

Browns fans don't call them the clowns.

can everyone just chill the fuck out?

One game. Season opener. Vs Pittsburgh (who as much as I hate to say it, is currently a mediocre team at worst).

New coaches. New players. New playbooks.

Yes it sucks they had to come out playing the way they did in the first half. But to make adjustments in the 2nd half that made it a ball game again? That's good news. In fact the best news we could ask for at halftime yesterday. Signs point to better things ahead for the Browns (and hopefully worse for Stoolers).

This has been a continuous thing for Browns - playing the game all four quarters. Had they showed up right away, that game easily was in the W column.

When they suck, yes it brings back bad memories but you can't kneejerk. Every year is different and throwing in the towel after week 1 (against a decent division rival team, at minimum) is not clear thinking.

Stepping down off the soapbox now....

@sienn13 said:

Yes! Win or lose, and the fact that I was born and raised in northeast Ohio, I will always root for the Browns! Become a Pittsburgh or Baltimore fan eh? No thanks! I'd rather eat my own shit than join one of those two classless fanbases!

@topdawg31 said:

No, it's the other way around- you live in California, it would be easy as hell to adopt the 49ers as your favorite team. Just because I'm a Season ticket holder doesn't give me extra bragging rights. Give Mark and the other out of town Browns fans extra credit for making the flight- or drive to Cleveland every year.

Yayy Moral Victories! Moral victories!

We ALMOST beat Pittsburgh. Hooray!

Moral Victories!!!

@walterwhite said:

A lot to be happy about?

We lost. We fucking choked and lost. End of story.

We blew opportunities in the 4th, we can't tackle, and the secondary is terrible.

We fucking LOST. Fuck your moral victory.

How many years do we invent new ways to lose. Its always an excuse.

Yes Walter- we now have "The Comeback"- not quite- to add to the new and impressive ways to lose a game.

Hey- it is just one game- just 1\2 of a game really. It's along season ahead.

Gotta learn to win the close ones tho.

So trite, yet so true...

@topdawg31 said:

you are correct there, but they let up in the last 5 minutes, why can't any of you that are arguing for moral victory's see that?

There are those of us that are both taking heart and criticizing the last two series on offense.

@mark-o said:

The difference between you and me at this point is that I'm willing to focus on the positives and things that we saw differently than we've seen any time in the previous god knows how many years. You and most of the other ass clowns in the tavern today only want to bitch and moan about everything.

I think the above may be the best summary...

Today the glass was half full.
