I agree clock management in general sucked. Who in the hell on our team is responsible? Whoever it is needs to get their shit together. Today at then end of the first half we could have easily had one or two more shots at the end zone. This had been an ongoing thing this year.

@hoorta said: Um no- there's problems...... In spades. Bryant is going to want franchise money, so where will that leave us with Gordon, Cameron, and a bunch of the others? Hoyer keeps winning, there's another $10 million + off the cap. Not that he isn't good- we have to keep our own players first. If Farmer wanted two legit #1s on the field at the same time, he would have just drafted Watkins, and saved himself a ton of money under anything Bryant will command on the open market. Oh, and ask yourself how's Atlanta doing with Roddy White, and Julio Jones of late? Exactly my thoughts. Bryant is great and all, but would totally screw up any balance on our salary cap. And he DEMANDS the ball. If he doen't get enough passes now, how is he gonna get enough passes on a cold weather running team that also has Josh Gordon? Im reading that Bryant wants 12-14 mil!!!! .Holy crap. Any team that pays that kind of money to a WR deserves to lose. I know everyone wants the flashy stars, but usually when they're signed, they only suck money from the payroll and rarely win anything. With so many more good players, it's more and more important to keep a balance on the payroll and not overpay for just one guy. And the Watkins point was spot on. If we wanted another #1 WR, it would be done already. Why buy a shiny hood ornament, when you can get a whole truck for less!

@tiamat63 said:There's not a chance in hell Tomlin suspends these guys. Of course not. Tomlin is a known cheater. Why the hell would be become a man this year?

It doesn't look like it's going to be that great of a movie... but I'm interested b/c it's about my 2 favorite things... 1) the Browns, 2) the NFL Draft... If they were going to do a movie about the Browns, I only wish it was a comedy, like Major League... maybe there will at least be some funny scenes...

@browns149 said:I can't watch him. He looks like a rat with a mouth full of crap. Like a red-skinned Matt Schaub!

Hell No!!...This guy would only be a terrible distraction to all the good,positive progress this team has made...pass....And I agree ,this is Philbin's first and last shot...too bad for him after having lost a loved one...

@7moses7 said: [ Mariota is one hell of an athlete but a completion percentage in the 50% range is a little concerning compared to the other top QB's are in the 60 and 70 percent. i see mariota as more a kaepernik type guy. notice how even chip kelly is not calling read option plays in the nfl. washington stopped and so did the niners. i guess they want to have their QBs alive for more than 3 games a season.

yeah but sheard HAS to be one of heckert's best picks and he is a flat out bull rusher. he will be missed!

"You’ll likely note that the 2013 Jaguars do not appear to be shaping up to be one of the great offensive teams of all time, so the fact that Massaquoi wasn’t able to beat out the likes of Jordan Shipley and Mike Brown for a job isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of his capabilities." Release by the Browns, then cut by the Jags. Not exactly a pro-bowl track record!

@gftchris said: Obviously not forgetting Johnny Football. Also, for the homers there's braxton miller. In terms of who we'll be drafting, *if* we have a good enough season, we might be looking at a TE, ILB, DB, or OG. I think if the players we have live up to potential, we could be set everywhere else, unless a stud comes along. However, it's worth keeping an eye on the top WRs in case Flash decides he loves that ganja too darn much and the team cuts/trades him. I wouldn't take either before round 5 with a hope that they become a starting QB. It doesn't matter how good Miller may or may not do this year, he gets injuries almost every single game. He isn't someone you want to spend a high draft pick on. Johnny Football also thinks his actual name in fucking Johnny Football and his ego is too huge to be a starter in the NFL. I mean he took money for auto graphs after winning the Heisman, keeps getting in trouble with alcohol related incidents, and he got pulled after only playing the 3rd quarter of the Rice game for being an asshole. @the-gipper said: Don't trust QBs from bigger schools? Would you say these are not "big schools": Michigan...Tom Brady Tennessee...Peyton Manning Purdue...Drew Brees Auburn...Cam Newton Boston College...Matt Ryan Georgia...Matt Stafford Stanford...Andrew Luck Oklahoma...Sam Bradford USC...Carson Palmer NC St.....Phillip Rivers Mississippi...Eli Manning Wisconsin....Russell Wilson Oklahoma St....Weeden For every BR that comes out of Miami, Oh., or ever Colin Kaepernick that comes out of Nevada-Reno, there are 3-4 starting NFL QBs that come from the power conference schools. The only schools from the list I would consider to be big name schools are USC, Oklahoma, and to a slightly lesser extent Wisconsin and Michigan. How many teams did you just mention are constantly in the top 10-15 for recruits? When was the last time said teams contended for a national championship and if these played for one recently what team didn't immediately drop off the face of the earth when their QB went to the NFL. Purdue, NC State, Mississippi, and BC are as likely to put out a top QB prospect as Miami OH is. Auburn and Wisconsin put out good QB's who were with their teams for only one season.

The Browns are going to blow up this year, but this time in a GOOD way....

Alabama was a lot better than Notre Dame. Teo can play football and I am not sure some of our other linebackers are very good.

Endymion said: Cowher's supposed love for the Rooney family isn't as deep is as you may believe it is. When Cowher won the Super Bowl the Rooney's didn't give Cowher a raise, the Rooney's didn't pay Cowher as one of the elite coaches in the league. It was one of the reasons Cowher left. Second Cowher was a difference maker in Pittsburgh. When Cowher got a lead of 11 points or more he had some ridiculous winning stat. Cowher got crap QBs to the AFC championship game. Cowher coached a boring as hell game, but he was a more solid coach than Tomlin. As I understand it, Cowher is interested in one and only one job: The New York Giants. I understand that he now basically lives in NYC. His statement that he would want to return to coaching "some day" means that the day in question is when Tom Coughlin retires. The Jets might be secondary...but he still wants NYC..

I agree. I think that we need to resign Sheldon for a year or two because he is not as bad as some people have made him out to be. He has had some outstanding games this year. I would not ignore free safety either. We have been terribly underskilled at that position for too long. Our linebackers looked slow against the Broncos too. They did not do well in coverage.

@xsvwill said: Pointless post, you dont know if he would have or not. Also key word was "if" it wasnt going to happen. Browns got destroyed. Last time i checked, not a single on of the browns fans came back and said anything after the loss, so whos fans are "wak, spineless specimans"? Not pointless at all. If the Browns had won, your pussy newbie ass wouldn't have even signed on here. So you are even more gutless than your compadre. As for not a single Browns fan "coming back and saying anything after the loss" I have no clue what you are talking about. Are you talking about coming on to a Redskins message board? I wouldn't know anything about that. I don't troll other boards....so I don't know...and care less. I only care about who or what comes on this board....and when feckless fucks like you come on here, you get what you deserve.

@venom said: I agree! This city and the team is blinded when it comes to the weaknesses. It's going to get real bad this weekend when Romo toasts them for around 400yds passing anf 4 TDs. The media is still downplaying the BAD losses and saying a loss this week doesn't mean anything that all they need to do is win the last 2 games. I don't see them winning 2 of 3 let alone 1 of 3. Hey, I'm not bitching, I'm making money betting against the "Still Believe" MOrons! Well, their chances were hurt a bit last night with the Bengals win over the Eagles. And as I said elsewhere...Browns fans could be put into the untenable position of rooting for the Steelers to win the game against the Bengals to keep our own chances alive....as far fetched as that seems.

@7moses7, my mistake about Holmgren picking McCoy. I didn't know that about Cowher's wife. I definitely don't think he is coming back now, maybe if his kids were out of the house.

@choco said: im going with jibz here....6 straight losses. could possibly beat arizona, but we're gonna get so beat up that the current injuries will look benign. bum

1st-Blackmon 1sta-Burfict 2nd-Minnifield 3rd- Best RT available This would be a dream draft for the Browns

@sheepdog said: Let me know start off saying that I love the helmet design of the Cleveland Browns and in no way want to change it. This is merely a "what if" type of thing. Being the only football team without a design on their helmet I have always wondered WHAT IF the Browns did decide to put a logo on the side of their helmet as part of an alternate jersey outfit. The two frontrunners for me are Brownie the Elf and some sort of Dog logo. Please keep the conversation civil and don't brand me anything other than a devote fan with an active imagination. I think it would be in the best interest of all parties involved, to keep the helmet with no logo. That way, if there is a visitor from another coutry, or maybe just someone who is not NFL familiar, who happens to see a game, maybe they won't recognize who to blame for such crappy play.
