@deadwombat said:I think for once we will have a good start to this week's game. We're looking at the easiest opponent we've had all season, with Kokinis gone, all our problems should be gone too.... Right?.... Right? Well, on to the game. I think we start things fresh with a TD score.... on special teams. When we get the ball back Daboll decides at a radical departure from his regular playbook and calls for a slant to Momass. It turns into a 56 yard play and we never see it again. Later in the half, Dawson shows us why he's the team only dependable scorer with 3 field goals. We lead 16-0 going into the half, which puts us into a good position. However, I think some 2nd half Anderceptions will be returned for a pick-6 or two and cost us the lead. This will prompt some talk with Head dictator, I mean Coach... Mangini where Anderson will reveal he is color blind. No wonder he throws to the wrong jersey colors so often. Meanwhile, J-lew signs up for Ballerina class, Robert Royal still thinks he's playing Hot Potato, and Chansi Stuckey shows us all what a Mangini guy plays like by fumbling twice and then the ball down the wrong end of the field. But with amazing special teams production by Trunsnik and Robiski, we block a field goal and force a punt to the 1-yard line. Mangini rewards Robiski for finally giving special teams production by giving him time off in the form of cutting him from the roster. Momass runs the wrong route and smacks straight into DA, giving him another concussion, who trips over a ref, two beer bottles, and a small puppy on the way to the bench, netting a 15 yard penalty. After much deliberation, Mangini sends in Josh Cribbs for QB. Daboll specifically tells Cribbs that he is a QB now so to not to expect any more running. Daboll rips the page with QB option and WildDawg out of his playbook. Oops, there were only 2 pages to begin with. Unfazed, he recites the plays from memory.... to run up the middle, which we do, for negative 1 yard. Mangini then decides to put DA back in despite still him suffering from a concussion. He gets confused and throws down the empty end of the field. As our team continues to fall apart, fans fall asleep in the stands as our opponant trounces us with 3 TDs against a defeated and tired defense. Mangini is later quoted after the game as saying "its a process" and defending his QB decision before going back to the shower room with DA. Browns 10 Bye 35 lol

That'd be pretty low if Lerner told Mangini that he'll have the final say on everything... even if Lerner actually gives that Power to the GM. Almost as low as Mangini telling Kokinis the same thing but than doing the opposite. I guess that'd be fitting in a way.

The Browns are a bad team. Their QB is far and away the worst offender for suck-eee-ness. Wow.

@deadwombat said:Yes, what IS up with our offense? We'll, I'll tell you. We're 30th in points scored. 31st in yards gained. 31st in passing, and 25th in rushing. Statwise, our passing game is HORRID, and our running game is mediocre. Whats up with those stats? Well, Here's what we have on receiving: A rookie with a penchant for drops An ex-Jet slot receiver filling in for a No. 2 with a penchant for drops Another slot receiver with good hands but is slow A kick returner who has never played as a WR before this year A rookie who apparently must be so bad he had to be benched most of the season Oh, and I can't forget our Tight Ends: A blocking TE from the Bills who can't catch An old, slow TE with decent hands A lackluster journeyman who we just picked up a couple days ago Basically, we have no talent in our WRs, and our TEs look just as bad. Now, I like Furrey as a slot guy, and I like Heiden. Oh, but wait. We never PLAY Furrey or Heiden. This is the worst lineup I've ever seen in a browns uniform, and possibly the worst in the league (no wait... we may be more talented here than the Rams, but their No 1 is on IR... Maybe Oakland?). To add to it, we have a QB who can't throw accurately, and throws short passes with the speed and trajectory of a bullet. I dont think I've ever seen DA put an arc on a ball unless its traveling more than 40 yards. When you have a talentless WR corps and a bad QB, it really screams "RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL". Oh, you'll love this. Here's the running back stats from the last two games: Lewis: 21 yards on 11 carries 47 yards on 15 carries Harrison: 26 yards on 5 carries 7 yards on 3 carries. Cribbs: 45 yards on 6 carries -1 yard on 1 carry All of these stats look horrid with the exception of Cribbs last week. However, what really sticks out is the number of carries. Our starting running back only gets 15 carries? Well, that seems really low, but you gotta realize its because our offense never stays on the field that long. I can't remember how many 3-and-outs we had. Even New Orleans, with the most dynamic passing game in the league, still runs the ball 20-25 times. Pierre Thomas saw 19 carries and Bush 6 last game. Hell, Thomas got 86 yards on those carries, despite being the same height and almost the same weight as Harrison. Now, I'm not even going to go into the playcalling aspect of it... Because I could write a whole different post about just that. That's right, Daboll... You're off the hook for now. Basically, we pretty much run a vanilla offense, with a vanilla running game... when really, we need to rely on our running to make up for the lack of talent in the passing game. Thats when I would love to bring up Harrison. All those people who said Harrison couldn't be an every down back got a bit F-U to the face after seeing the Cincy game. 29 carries, 121 yards, and a 4.2 yard average. Hallelujah, we have a running game! Oh wait, we bench Harrison the next game in favor of Lewis. Granted, Lewis got 117 yards on 31 carries, but the Bills' heavily injured line was filled with rookies and 2nd stringers... it was a fluke. The next game, against a better Pittsburgh line, Lewis gets 21 yards on 11 carries. Crap. Now, I would assume, that if you have one guy who can run for 121 yards against a a Bengals defense ranked 5th against the run, that you should continue to play him in future games. Therefore, whoever was behind the decision to bench Harrison should be shot in the face. We continue to play Lewis, and he continues to be mediocre. But wait! We still have the WildDawg! No, we don't. Cribbs getting 45 yards on 6 attempts against Pittsburgh? Hellz Yes. Lets never do it again! That seems to be the M.O.. We saw Cribbs shine in the first half of the Pittsburg game (excusing the two bad passing attempts). Then, after the 1st half of the Pittsburg game, The WildDawg turned into a missing Lynx (word play, FTW), and we rarely saw it after that. Everyone (apparently including Mangini) is at a loss to explain why. So, what I see from our offense is not only an immense lack of talent, but a stubborn refusal to use the few tools that we do have. In conclusion, the entire browns organization are all a bunch of douchebags. The end. Holy crap dude, that was an incredible post. Thank you, and I agree with you 10000%. This team will be shit forever with these Retards at the helm.

Like I said before...Daboll's playbook

take the poll and flag and stick it up his ass. he would like it though.

as Troy Polamalu said in his head and shoulders commercial.. "you ask with your eye...you ask with your eyes" lmao

They hurried to the line and snapped it quickly, it was almost like Quinn or the whole team didnt know Harrison had gotten the first there. I didn't see the ball come out or anything so thats the only thing I can figure.

Legget was promising. He had great athleticism, but needed more weight and muscle to fight his way off the line. So Mangini thinks he has the WR spots sewn up and doesn't need to develop more?

when you have an asthmatic WR getting open but running his ass off for nothing the point has merit. if he didn't have these issues, or weren't a star on another squad with supreme duties there, i really wouldn't mind so much.

Bartel is better than ratty but not as good as BQ/DA but mangini will cut bartel anyways and keep ratman his less than kosher pet project...

@shepwrite said:I think James Davis becomes our starting tailback at some point during this season. That's silly at best. The guy has never played a down in a preseason game and you are judging Lewis and him on a tag football scrimage. I think that's a big overhype. Sorry, he needs to prove it to me on the field. the reason he lost carries at Clemson last year was that he got knocked off his feet too easily. Before we get his bust ready for Canton, he should show us he can make plays when guys are really tackling. Also, guys saying Lewis looked bad is funnier then hell when they are playing "not taking the guy to the ground" tag football. Yea, he must be done because he couldn't elude those guys touching his pads to call him down.

what the fukkk?!?! i'm fuggin' hyped w/ the drafting, effing ecstastic even! Alex Mack and Brian Robiskie are sexy as fuk, people, what in the world kind of bizarro fanbase is this?!?! you guys are just now getting it? not to be insulting but where have you been for the last six months? totally unreal.....i am so glad i'm nothing like you guys. and i seriously mean that.

Thats great!

nice tribute, Wombat. you should fix his junk tho.

Shit, I'm watching the game on a very narrow screen compared to you guys! But I hope I'll watch a tiny little Warner lifting the Lombardi trophy later on tonight...
