@russman2271 said:i understand what you mean about continuity but the only continuity i'm seeing is bad coaching, bad play calling,bad clock management and more bad coaching.i don't like constantly changing qbs like last year but yesterday jds foot injury was affecting his play.it would have been good to see more of the seneca wallace josh cribbs combo more than just once, maybe it would have made a difference.i'm not sying to bench jd but he wasn't effective playing hurt.as far as "it's only the first game"-yes it is-but we need to beat teams like tampa bay if we're going to be successful.our division is way to tough to give games like that away.also it's not just one game it's been seventeen games of the same bad coaching. Yes, I'll agree about seeing more of Cribbs and Wallace in the game. I'll go as far to say as far as the coaching staff goes that Daboll is the weakest link. With that being said, it is easier to replace a coordinator, than a head coach. I think Mangini has brought discipline to this team whereas in years past it was severely lacking and a country club atmosphere. Now the team needs to learn how to win. I think that will come. We just need to give this some time to develop. This loss hurt, no doubt, but it isn't quite time to hop off of the bandwagon, or call for the coach's head. Hell, I don't even know that I would do that if we're winless going into November. This current front office has had to sift through the crap left over from the previous regime and change the culture of the organization which has been notorious for losing, and being a country club atmosphere since 1999. Holmgren, and Mangini will not allow the nonsense, that was seen in the past, and I have to believe that we have nowhere to go but up. Also, we need to develop that home field advantage. In other words we have got to make it so damn loud down there that it is unbearable for the Chiefs or any opponents visiting CBS! Once upon a time we as fans carried this team to victory! Those seats should BE full before kickoff, and that stadium going crazy instead of waiting last minute to get to your seats. Let's help our team get inside the opponents heads and let them know that when you come to Cleveland you're in for a fight!

@el-guapo said:Harrison for not showing up? He was responsible for one of the touchdowns with his long run! Besides one lucky as hell pass getting through (was a poorly thrown ball), it was the only big play we had. Harrison had one pass thrown to him and the idea should be to get him into space - and the pass is one way to do that. He wasn't much involved in the game plan from the beginning. Mistake on the coaching staff's part. How many Harrison homers are there in this forum. They reproduce like mosquitos.

Formerly Stone said:Another genious! Where do you guys get em? The Steelers record for the 80's is over .500. The Browns record over the last 40 years is well under .500. What now Einstein? What now? Now you take the records for the existance of each entire franchise. There is no arbitrary cutoff date. You take the entire history. I mean, doing otherwise would be as foolish as saying that mankind only appeared on this earth about 6000 years ago.

@lumbergh said:HERE COMES QUINN DOWN THE STRETCH RUN!! IT'S HIS FINAL CHANCE!! 4:01:35 pm Browns QB Brady Quinn has struggled in practice today. LMAO.....I will take a struggling Quinn over a struggling Anderson any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Anderson is not going to start for an Eric Mangini coached team. He had the gunslinger bring down his season already - Favre. It takes a smart QB to play situational football, and Anderson was built for a quick strike. That's good when you're behind, which you usually are when DA plays, but that'll last a drive, and then the D just pressures and plays the seam. And then that's all she wrote folks. This competition was all about increasing DA's value - and you seem to be the last to know. I have no idea why you're hanging on anymore. We threw seam passes against Detroit. That's it. Nothing too hard to figure out for a D. Lumnutsacksucker - it's over.

Nah, we need to get rid of Braylon and Draft Dez Bryant

@cmac12 said:I agree that BQ should start this year. I just disagree on how bad DA really is. I can agree that he has not shown good progression, but I do not think that he has regressed as much as you think. That is pretty much all. I have already posted many times why I feel this way so I will not repeat it again. Hard to argue with any of that - thanks CMAC! You're not the type that needs to re-post anything. You do an excellent job the first time. - Tom F.

As disappointing as it is I will not press the panic button until we finish playing against Bengals. they are the 4th team in our regular season schedule and by then we face 1 tough team (Raven), 1 average team(Minnesota ) and 2 teams(Denver, Cincy) that have issues. If we are winless till then rest assured we are screwed.

@pl4tinum said:I knew he was worthless after 1 press conference, actually. Speaks wonders for the interview process of the Browns. Now it looks like we're going to put the cart before the horse again, I'm hearing rumors that Lerner's looking for a coach before he gets a new GM. What the xxxx man, we need to get this xxxxtard Lerner outta here pronto. What about the rumors of Lerner wanting to keep Crennel on as Defensive Coordinator? One look at our defense should prove that anyone involved in that mess should never be allowed on a football field again.

The man is soon to be 0-8 against our division rival and has lost twice to the Bengals at home in the past 3 years. That's a pretty crummy resume. Keeping him would be like continuing to live in a house that has already burned down. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone who would want to coach in the NFL. Don't tell me that if Cowher and Marty say no, we give up the search. Have a little faith! If the unthinkable happens and Lerner keeps Crennel, the fan base will not ignore the team. Instead, the fans will push Lerner to sell the team. The new owner will fire Crennel. The fans will remain strong in their love for the Browns.

I put it all on the coaching simply because any coach that would tolorate players that should be waived/cut or benched aint no coach at all and the same could be said of a gm that doesnt fire a bad coach but instead consistantly defended rac even in the face of fans and media alike that knew different until he himself was rightfully under fire he then threw crennel under the bus to try and save his own hide.. They should be asked to hit the road together...

@brownindian said:can we have Reggie Bush pleaaaase ? Franky, a lot of us Saints fans are seeing Bust -- uhh, BUSH --- as a liability, someone you have to go out of your way to make useful. Of course, part of that perception also pertains to our coach, who often seems too clever for our own good. Not much smashmouth football is played by Bush or the Saints. But at least we score. I think you guys will be OK when you settle on a QB.

Well you can bet your ass that we will be in our familiar spot next year........1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon all season long.

...And I will turn around and make the case that Braylon Edwards was the one reason we went 10-6 last year.

What do we have to do to get Plaxico Burress? 1. Wait for his jail time to be up. 2. Wait for reinstatement to the NFL. 3. Outbid the Bengals and Ravens. On the bright side Plex and Donte are probably going to make parole about the same time so we'll have a choice on who we want to bring in.

Oh good grief....
