Not that a couple penalties can make up for the blowout, but, there were multiple block in the backs on Gordon running plays that went uncalled as well. 1 of them was for a TD. So that would have been 2 plays nullified, but with the effort level that was being displayed, Im not entirely sure that it would have stopped much. But you never know.
That's true... It's a combination of things when ya lose like that. It was snowballing on the Browns. Nothing would go their way. Rivers just chucks it up into triple coverage right in front of us. Our Safety gets both hands on it, but Tyrell Williams (who is a monster btw) just takes it away...It was the Chargers' day for sure....Though Antonio Callaway has got to come up with those TD passes, and if he had, I guarantee those bad calls (or non calls) would have been magnified.. ..https://www.cleveland.com/browns/in...got_robbed_on_missed_fa.html#incart_big-photo ^^^No excuse for that...total bullshit.
yeah thats rough, those kinds of games only make for at least a story afterwards and yeah nfl officiating is bottom of the barrel for sure
It's almost as if the Browns are trying desperately to win against the AFC North, that they aren't preparing for the other games. They expend everything they've got for the Steelers and Ravens and have lackluster days against teams like the Raiders and Chargers. The Jets game was an anomaly, everyone's blood got pumping when Baker entered the game, before he went in, they were just as dead as they were this past Sunday. Don't get me wrong, if the Browns are going to go 5-10-1 this year (correction, 6-9-1, they already beat the Jets), I hope they are 5-0-1 in the AFC North!! But, man, they need to be up for some other games as well.
These are the kinds of things (team not even seemingly trying some weeks) that make me wonder a lot of things about the NFL.
Well, we have a team here that was 1-31 coming into the season, 3-33-1 coming into this game...and they got the day off on Monday because they won their 3rd game in a little over 2 years of play... STUPID and IRRESPONSIBLE !!! Now, if a team has had two winning seasons in a row and has a team full of continuity, that might fly, but a coach that just won his 3rd game of his tenure, that he is now 3 years into...NO FREAKING WAY!! They need to start preparing like they are an expansion team. They only have a dozen or so players that have been here more than one year, only a handful of starters.. they need every day of practice they can get!
Chargers explain dominance of Browns Chargers: "We know Greggggg Williams likes to blitz. We just called plays behind those blitzes." Hueless: "I wouldn't say it was just that simple." Narrator: "It was just that simple."
