IF Pettine knows what he's doing but I sure wish he'd tell the players before the game. Maryavis Bryant and Antonio Brown set records last week against us.

This week is an easy winnable game. No Flacco, Steve Smith, Forsett, And the worst pass defense in the league,almost.

The Browns rank 2nd to last in the run game. So McCown will could score if he doesn't get killed with Barnidge our only big strong stud receiver.

Monday is an important game for us. We are tied with San Diego and Tennessee at 2-8.

A win could knock us out of the running for a franchise quarterback.

I still think we are,light years away from a contending team. The defense and secondary need overhaul. Wide receiver is a must! Ezekiel Elliot would bring the elite running back to go with receiver. agreed.

Seriously, could Ken Stabler or Sammy Baugh have made it in today's in your face media world? I think Jimmy Brown saw it coming and he got out while the getting was good!

When we hired Pettine I said who? When we hired Shanahan I said they know your offense it will get people killed ( RG3 - Hoyer - Manziel). When we hired DeFilippo I thought shit, can't we get anyone noteworthy?

It is on Pettine and O'neal how can you defend this sorry defense ?

First pardon my insertions.

You make a lot of sense and I agree with a good portion of your post but I can't see McCown surviving. I just worry that there's going to be a funeral in Jacksonville Texas this coming week.

I'm really tired of rooting for a joke. What made me happy though was when the stat was pointed out Thurs. that it had been 113 years combined since the Lions and Eagles won a championship.

I was asked the other day why I root for the Browns and I said I was a former season holder and they said, "Yeah and so what?". I just shrugged and went back to my office.

.......and replace him with WHO???

Nice try at a Photoshop.

Mike Pettine drunk during bye week

You can no longer make this shit up

Except for Gilbert probably, I do not think that the defensive players drafted here are so bad.....I think they can be quite good.

To me....it is the coaching. Be it O'Neil or Pettine running that defense.

And, to answer your question: O'Neil is still here because, unlike Johnny....he apparently does exactly what he is told to do by Pettine.

The piss and moan crowd should be replaced with the everything's coming up roses group. We should never point out the Gilbert Manziel over Kahlil Mack, Evans, Carr, Beckham, Bridgewater, Anthony Barr, Garapolo etc

Let's never criticize how poorly these last two drafts have worked out.

There is NO franchise QB in the forthcoming draft. I am of the opinion that the earliest a QB should be selected is late 1st round.

I still think we are,light years away from a contending team. The defense and secondary need overhaul.

I disagree.....it is the coaching....the DC needs an overhaul....but there is good talent there imo.

Wide receiver is a must! Ezekiel Elliot would bring the elite running back to go with receiver.

The last two drafts have really set us backwards.

I just don't see the positives for the rest of the year. We'll be playing a backup who's future in football is winding down. How exciting!

The Browns are years away,from sniffing a playoff hunt.

Unless they get an outstanding QB, Defensive coordinator, running back and wide receiver.

Agree that is what they need: And proclaim that those can all be had in this offseason

Fire the DC....bring in a good one. Bring in a RB to go with Crow and Duke.....who, to me are both very serviceable. But you want a "Bell Cow"

Fine.

WR....of course Josh Gordon will be back....yes, he will. But, to get another one....absolutely. It is more likely that a top WR could be available early in the draft than a QB.

Just don't count on it

Why not....it can be done: WR in first round, RB in second.

Yes, you have to make the right picks. No more TRs or Vince Mayle's.

Remind me again how it's Pettine's fault that the Browns have the highest paid defense and drafted terrible defensive players early in the draft? Ray Farmer? Is that you?

I was repeating what was said in original post. But Gilbert certainly qualifies..
