    Well gould and parkey have had the same number of pro bowls. besides no gurantee that gould would have performed better anyway. Pretty tough to have less than 48 hours for a game. I'll give the FO the benefit of the doubt on this one because you could tell parkey was rusty but his leg power is significantly more than murray's or coons for that matter. Murray could barely get the distance for a 55yd kick this parkey kid could hit at 65yds if needed. Coons could get maybe a 50 with wind at his back.

    I generally side with the front office over the coaches it would seem but hey you force feed a fucking shitty rg3 led offense to me with hefty dose horton give up 25+ points a game defense and i'm going to think the coaches are shit.

    They had to sign somebody. And not like they had much time. This kid signed Saturday.

    He might be able to kick it 65 yards long but when u add a 15 yard hook to it what good is it? So now he's kicking it 15 yards right so it finds it way somehow, miraculousy through the uprights?

    C'mon man.

    All I know is that saving $$$ gave the Browns 3 misses to the left. Love this analytics because anal pretty well describes what that $$$ decision just did to the Browns. Fucking genius baseball loving Ivy Leaguers have no common cents.

    Maybe the FO thought he can hit a fastball?

    A win would not have been a good thing today. Relax. Look ahead.

    Really must be a stool fan. Winning is not good in football? I still can't believe this was posted. I may get cynical and pissed but never ever wished them to not win.

    Personally I didn't think Coons was bad.

    Coons was fine but didn't have the leg to make the long ones.

    Unfortunately the guy that played yesterday couldn't make anything.

    I heard that it was simply a matter of money. This guy was cheaper and that is why they took him over Gould.

    So when did analytics simply boil down to "taking the cheapest route". The cheap ass bullshit cost a game, pure and simple.

    Yea, kind of what I was thinking and could see him just trying to stir shit up with this allegation from probably an 'unnamed source'.

    If that is true I really hate to hear it. A decent kicker yesterday and that game was ours.

    Tabor might be finally did it....spoke out publicly that he didn't want Gould as the kicker but management signed him because he was cheaper. He should be replaced soon unless they want to save some money and not pay 2 SP coaches.

    Wait.....you are conflicting yourself. Do you mean Gould or Parkey...wtfever? I thought the coaches wanted Gould....but Sashi was being a cheap bastard and opted for the cheaper option?

    Draft? DRAFT? We have draft picks up to our arm pits every fucking year and always trade our top pick, to get a player who never even does jack shit. We deserve wins NOW not the bullshit excuse how we are going to build from the draft. We draft, takes the players 3 years to develop and then they join a winning team. I am sick of being the joke of the NFL, I hate playing in December and our only point is trying to spoil another teams po chance.And if you think us losing is a good thing???? Then you are a fucking idiot

    Ya, talking draft in mid Sept is soooo much better than being relevant. Of course you're the guy that thinks losing is productive.

    From the Miami Herald

    (True story: After the game, league sources said Browns special teams coach Chris Tabor wanted his team to sign free agent kicker Robbie Gould on Friday when Cleveland’s first-string kicker Patrick Murray sustained a knee injury. But Browns management decided Gould is too expensive and so they went with Parkey — who practically single-handedly lost the game for them.)
