  • For the ones who think "well this was a terrible call, so it would have changed the score, so the Browns win" have absolutely no clue what goes into a football game. Yes, the score might have changed AT THE TIME. But a call in a 1st quarter that would have been 3 instead of 7 doesn't mean the outcome would change

  • The coaches must be delighted with this officials stuff. Taking some of the heat off them if nothing else.

    I have said it for years the nfl has something against the Browns.  The bad call horrible breaks nothing goes the Browns way.  The first this year was the call on Garrett against the stillers in the first quarter where he was called for landing his weight on Ben which was called wrong Ben was out of the pocket and was a runner at that time which would have been 3 instead of 7 browns win in regulation.  The second was the first down. And today the false start.  No one knows how that would have affected the game but momentum is a fickle bitch and it could have made a huge difference in the game but it was a blatant miss no doubt it was on purpose the line judge has one job. 

    Do other teams seem to have this unusual streak of "bad luck or calls"?  I'm never a conspiracy theroist or any of that but some of the calls were bad.....and costly.

    You can't erase or get back a game, especially for the youngest team in the NFL.

    Expect an official apology from the League office after they review the tape. It's not going to change anything. What's happened is a lot of the long time highly respected officials have retired. But it's been pointed out some of the long time officiating crews (the leftovers when the good guys retired) are the ones most frequently responsible for making some of the bad calls this year, not the new crews.

    What would have happened is a penalty, and if they continued to refuse they would have forfeited 

    Honestly maybe that would have been ok if we did that and forfeited. This officiating cowpoop needs fixed. It’s likely going to take something dramatic to get Goodells attention.

    No... it would have been whatever the exact opposite of "OK" is. Plus it would have been "quitting".

    Yes...there are bad calls in every game and against every team, just about every week. 

    Bingo...

  • Can anyone confirm a holding against Ratley on the 20+ Nick Chubb run? Where the corner fell backwards? Did the cameras just not catch the actual hold?

    Nobody is talking about it but it was a huge call. We were down 14-3 and that run would’ve took us into FG range, with a first down.

    If it's the one I'm thinking of, I think it was kind of 'eh'. Somewhat borderline. 

    Oh crap, now I'm talking to myself! ?

  • There will always be bad calls....and bad no-calls.  But you still have to be good enough to win.  We're not.

    You cannot be dropping TD passes.........while the opponent catches theirs.

    As I have mentioned before, The missuz has business dealings that have mingled us in some high Browns places. From what I know about rich people here in the land of cotton, Hue Jackson is not likely to be fired, and if one clears their head of football and looks at this as a person of wealth, stature and public exposure, it will becomenclear as to why I say this, and why it is logical

    TN plantation owners and their wives are extremely, politically correct and in that, especially.with a liberal wife are very resistant to firing a black, especially.given there are so few as head coaches. Sticking by Hue, is akin to a corporation going green. It just carres a lot of community support and good will.

    Next, with political activism in the NFL at an all time high, Haslam is absolutely not going to suffer the potential consequences of Kaepernick type press.

    If Hue was going to be fired, 1-35 was the time it would have happened. Use common sense. Haslam is going to fire a black head coach who went from 0-16 to 4-11-1? As Bush 1 said......Not gonna happen.

    Who WILL GO? Obviously Greg Williams. His defense has been shredded several times and is mistake prone.

    Use more common sense......Haslam HIMSELF squashed any gossip that Dorsey ran the show buy CLEARLY announcing that Hue does not report to Dorsey.

    Finally, again, use common sense. In Hard Knocks AND in his press conferences Hue has been forceful about his foibles, never once remorseful or repentant. Only a man self-assured of his job own job stability would qct that way.

    Williams first, maybe Haley first if Baker keeps gettong bashed. 

    We are stuck with Marvin Hueless.

    How long will Dorsey be alright with that deal? I see him as our best shot at having a truly competitive team
