Ah yes.. the bloody refs did it again ..fan thread 

      Let's go ref'in now, every teams learning how, come on a safari with me ?

Well at least we can't draw the Walt Anderson's crew this Week to Cleveland..btw, did ya happen to see the Marty GLEEM, sparking out of the Chuckie Gruden eyes & The Black Hole crowd with Walt's crew? I was saddened, while thrilled for the Oakland fan base with that Win.. 

Anywho? We drew the talents of the Ron Torbert crew again. 6th season as a Head ref, attorney from Michigan St..

1 former player in his 1st season as a ref.

And yeah!! Sarah Thomas is the DJ. (hail the queen of zebras) 

1 26 year, ref from Akron. a 21 year ref from Freddie's sweet home Bama 

YikeS!!  a well needed Probation Officer from E.Kentucky (what could go wrong?)

4 band-aides stuck with this same crew & 1 was transfer to this crew

Torbert is 2-2 calling Bills games as a head referee. with a combined 25 flag game in a Pats win

Torbert is 1-4 calling Browns games. Our only win with Torbert was a Oakland win back in 2014..14 combined flags were tossed in that game

You count the flags..I'll watch the game.. Go GLEEM!!

In that case 15 penalties.

Turnovers are the bigger scenario, and that's a big unknown. Progress last week, but Baker also got away with one. We didn't win last week, but if we win turnover battle (again) Sunday, we'll win the game.

Focused on reducing penalties worked. Let’s hope they can focus on two things at a time and include an actual red zone offense. 

Maybe that should be the new team strategy focus on one thing at a time and move to the next one.

Sunday strategy versus Buffalo:

1. Don't trip coming out of the locker room.

2.                      

GO BROWNS, we still love ya'.

10.

Ill take the over.  We cant get out of our own way.  How is our agricultural specialist Freddie gonna clean that up?  Been 8 weeks..

looks like we cleaned it up a little last week, however me thinks the ol is going to get clobbered by the bills dl and lb's, so there will be plenty of holding calls to go around along with the usual hands to the face etc etc....i'll take the over too.

The Browns had fewer penalties for fewer yards than Denver, and turned the ball over zero times. 

They still couldn't win. 

That’s on the red zone offense. 
After kicking already kicking 4 field goals, and only being down 5 points inside the 10 yard line, we need points. There was plenty of time on the clock. 
Put Chubb in the game, don’t run the ball because the run was being stopped most of the game, and figure out who’s open, Jarvis or OBJ. Kick the FG if the pass on 3rd and 3 doesn’t get the necessary yards. No embarrassing QB sneaks involved.

Penalties were not the issue last week. They were much improved. 
Score points.
