For those of you who can't see that WTF?!?!?! He has always been statistically the worst over 50. This makes his 3rd UNDER 40 missed. This should have been addressed many games ago.
He is always a crap shoot when he comes on to kick. Always felt getting rid of Phil Dawson was not a sound move. How many chances have we had to win during a game if he made some kicks that a Pro is supposed to make. Looks like we're stuck with him...
Why stop here, just think of all the great magazines he could be a cover boy to. Guns & Ammo, National Enquirer, Vogue and it goes on and on. The rough life of a backup Qb...
How many Golf Digest covers has Hoyer been on? Exactly...
CINCINNATI, Ohio -- New Bengals receiver Greg Little said the Thursday night's showdown with his former team is "personal" and that "somebody's gotta pay."
It's not as if a matchup between the Browns (5-3) and Bengals (5-2-1) needed any additional stoking but Little, who played the past three seasons in Cleveland, provided it anyway Tuesday. He even took a shot at Mike Pettine, saying the new Browns coach did not communicate with players around the Berea facility -- at least when Little was still part of the team prior to his May 16 release.
"Everything about this game is personal for me and I'm going to treat it that way," said Little, signed by the Bengals Oct. 14 after being released by the Raiders. "And I'm going to put my team in the best position to win."
Little was asked to elaborate on the "personal" angle.
"How the whole release was handled," he said. "I just knew there would be a time I would play the Browns. I felt like it was inevitable and the time has come . . .
"I was coming into a new coaching staff and they were looking at me to come in and play well. I had a great relationship with them and the front office decided to go another direction and hopefully I will make them pay."
Little was released after news of Josh Gordon's looming drug suspension was made public. The receiving corps was in a serious state of flux, but it didn't stop management from cutting Little, who caught 155 passes for 1,821 yards and eight touchdowns in 48 games.
Little infuriated some with his penchant for dropped passes and speeding tickets. He remains good friends with Gordon.
He believes general manager Ray Farmer was "100 percent" behind his release. But Little saved his most interesting remarks for Pettine.
"I did not get along with Pettine," he said. "Pettine doesn't get along with any of his players. Like you will walk past him in the hallway and he won't even speak to you. To have that type of (approach) for a coach is kind of odd. I can't go you and say I'm going to lay it on the line for a guy who won't even speak to me if we were the only two people in the hallway.
So Pettine never spoke to Little?
"He never spoke to anybody," he said.
Little has caught four passes for 155 yards in three games with Bengals. He took 40 snaps, but was not targeted in Sunday's 33-23 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Little was famous for dropped passes. So many games could have been won if he just hung on to the damn ball. So its personal, "BFD".

After the egg laid in Jackville, Stats are meaningless. Really the more they lay out losing stats the more dangerous a team can be. Playing for pride anybody can knock off anybody. This is a golden chance to win the games you're suppose to win. With the Bingles looming next week a win would be a huge momentum builder. Also improving to 5 wins is steady improvement for last years nightmare...
We just can't allow loseing to two O win teams in a row. This will be for win no.4 which equals all of last season. Then to the Tampax Bucks to get no.5 with plenty of season left and Gordon returning November who knows...
I was just thinking about this past game and was really pissed about that muffed punt in our own redzone. That was a game killer. We have nobody on this roster that I feel safe with fielding punts or returning kicks. Nobody. Then I got to thinking about Josh Cribbs. He would be a HUGE spark to Special Teams and an ace on the field. I know he older now and all, maybe a step or two slower but I think that he's a free agent right now and adding him would be huge. Sign Josh Cribbs.
Man I could'nt agree with you more. It would be great to see him suited up again in the Orange and Brown. He was always was exciting to watch and a threat to take to the house at anytime. Maybe he would sign for league mininum. He would surly catch punts better that what we got. Come on back "16"...
Fool looked like garbage, showed us who he is, a scared QB who is aafraid of taking this team to the next level and dropping the ball. Johnny Maziel Time.
Throws were horrible, not accurate at all.
Garbage Long ball
Garbage Garbage Garbage.
You fair weather fans make us sick. Last week after he manhandled the Stealers, you were laughing, saying how good he was yadaa, yadaa. Now one bad game and its time to throw everything away and go with a green rookie. COM-ON-MAN! Your football knowledge is Garbage...
We don't know what Hoyer would have done down by 6 points with the game on the line. This game rest squarely on the shoulders of a motherfucking muffed punt deep in our own redzone, a huge no-no.
Man, that play really killed any prayer of staying in the game. That will be on NFL Follies films for years to come. The ball isn't over your head, to wide on either side. It hits you in the fuk-n head! What do you do in practice for crying out loud!! That was one of the many dumb mistakes. Tired of yelling at the TV yesterday...
Imagine if he had Gordon and Cameron.
Brian has a quick, accurate release and can read a defense well.
This is Brian Hoyers team.
You are right on the money, This is Hoyers team, and if he get all his weapons back who knows what he can do. Johnny, just sit and learn...
Going for it on 4th and 1? A TD pass? Is this the Browns I'm watching?
Not only was that a statement of the new coaching, how about on the last gasp drive of game on a 4th and 6. Make it or game over, and then completing the drive to win the game! Gonna be exciting to see what Mike comes up with for the Ravons this Sunday...
Hopefully he looks more like he did last year than he did in this preseason.
Thats what Im banking on too. I mean last year he was clicking and Im saying where did this guy come from. Then knowing hes been around Tom Brady for years tells me he had to pickup alot of knownledge from him. Its a solid pick and our best chance to win. Sit down Johnny he will be out there this year regardless, Hoyer ain't going make all 16 games...
Its hard when you have the glory of High School and College Football. He was on top of the world. Now, he is just a rookie QB trying to become a starter an a mediocre team. He better get used to getting fucked with and grow some thick skin.
Im buying everything your saying. Green rookie, so much growning to do. Bird fipping thats so High School. The whole NFL going to welcome him with baptisum by fire. Don't want to see his "fingers rubbing money" routine either. Shut up and learn Rookie!...
Yawn...... How did Kosar do?
Well since our boy Dick is reporting on the past. Keep it rolling with wheres Ty Detmer hes got to be 4th string somewhere. How bout K. Holcomb, one year wonder, and the list goes on...
A week or so ago I felt that Gordon was going to be shut down for a year. With the stiff penalties that the NFL will give out for pot will be without mercy. Be gone you evil person for smoking the devil's weed (6 games 10 games, a year). Now on the other hand if I knock the shit out of my future wife and drag her lifeless body out of a elevator laying on her face for all to see on film and ONLY get 2 games off. Do the math and there sould be a chance Gordon will play sometime this year. Lets see how this plays out for how many games who should deserve to miss...
I think our beloved Cribbs is done playing football, but I think it'd be a nice gesture from the Browns organization to do an honorary contract so he can retire a Brown. The fact of the matter we got rid of him at the right time and he got paid more than enough for what he brought to the city for that 3-4 year run there. I still proudly hang my signed Cribbs jersey in the man cave.
I fully agree with ya jrb12711, Cribbs was always a threat to go to the house on any play. He could play so many positions and the other team always had to know where he was. When the Browns came back in 99 I said I would not buy a new jersey until someone stood out in the new Browns era. Well I proudly bought my "16" jersey a few years ago and wear it every gameday. Last I heard he was a NY Jet, don't know if still active. I wish too that the Browns could resign him, if even for some special teams. Don't see that happening, never the less wish Cribbs all the best in the future...

I dont have an issue with putting a team in London. I get it, they want to go global much like the way soccer owns the world. There is alot more money to be gained globally. Now putting a Super Bowl in London i would be opposed.
If a team was put in London under NFL guidelines, if it had the best record it would get "Home Country" advantage (does that sound weird or what?). With ths best record the (AFC or NFC) league championship game would go there too. So to think the SB would go there, why not? everything else is screwed up even thinking to ever go this route. Remember after England whos next, Roger please take your meds and don"t ever do this to our game...
Good move making this its own thread.
Sorry, but unless they want to expand the league to 36 teams.....by putting a team in LA, SA, London...and maybe what? Mexico?
But...you know what they first move they may want to make to make the NFL "International"? Move the Bills to Toronto.
It would not surprise me at all if Goodell is in favor of that....even urging it.
Where does this total Bullshit end with NFL teams outside America? Really??? The just unbelieveable logistics of it all would be mind boggling! Players living there, unless they are from the UK would not see home much. Contracts would have to be redone for this kind life and travel. I don't see this happening for years if ever at all. I guess England would have the Union Jack flag on the back of their helmets or being a US game would they wear our flag? So many questions on this even being practical is endless. Keep Americas game in America period...
stick a fork in him....he be done
For this season he is indeed out the door. Don't know if he will ever see the light. A sad tale of the always famous line "What could have been". I was so pumped after last year, surely he won't fuk this up he can write his own check. But Noooooo, getting high was worth more than your team. You need to be shut down for a while, but the Browns should keep the rights to him. He maybe could be saved...
Browns are trying to sign QB Brian Hoyer to a contract extension, per sources. Hoyer is headed into last year of his deal.
Its a no-brainer to get Hoyer signed. He was just showing glimses of what he could do going underfeated before getting hurt. Im for Hoyer on opening day and maybe beyond, Johnny has plenty of time get up to speed. This is one of the best 1 and 2 quarterback combos we have had in years...
