HAPPY GAME DAY FELLOW LOUNGE HOUNDZ *YAHOO* I have to admit I am getting a more excited about how this team is shaping up *BRAVO* What's not to like when an offense with a backup QB, a bunch of nobody's at WR, and a rookie backfield can march down the field for a game winning drive. I know there are many who think that JF should be the starter, but it is hard to argue with Hoyers success so far. I can wait for Johnny to mature and put more focus on being a professional QB. *HELP* (IMHO he'd rather spend more time worrying about his trademarks and making $$ with his image.) Bark loud and proud fellow houndz *DRINK* [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RyU8niiTfk[/video] HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO WOOF!! WOOF!!
Inactives B. Pierce, RB M. Campanaro, WR T. Jernigan, DT A. Brown, ILB T. Brooks, FS P. Desir, CB R. Nelson, DB B. Tate, RB E. Martin, LB I. Kitchen, NT G. Robinson, TE L. Byrd, WR
Browns defense is PHUQUING PATHETIC :! Why the hell did I pick them up for this week in three leagues *HELP* *WALL*
Y'all offense is better than I thought they'd be (or our defense is worse). If they'd have clicked a quarter sooner, you'd be 2-0 right now. The Browns look legit and will still get Gordon back down the stretch. Wow.
Afternoon R1 ..The Browns offense has to do something as our Defense is putrid *WALL* Back n forth offensive game . who has it last wins it
Gilbert doesn't look ready to start yet. Goal line defense looks good. 4th qrt. up 21-20. We need a FG desperately at least.
To young to win these type of games. How disappointing! PHUQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game over! Should of took Watkins instead of burnt like toast Gilbert!
Ravens didn;t deserve that win today. The Browns are looking really good though. Probably play-off contenders when Gordon gets back. Good game Browns fans.
Browns fans, I said it on the Ravens game day thread and IP saybit again here, Cleveland was the better team today. Cundiff missing that FG and then the other getting blocked is what hurt you guys. I'm not confident in our red zone offense scoring a TD from the 13 at all. This was a great game and this Ravens fan does NOT think the Browns are a bad team at all. Hoyer is your QB
Call it what you want, Irish. I don't care, but I accept your apology He'll be a ton of fun to watch when he gets on the field, but he physically won't last in this league skittering around. Couple that with a fan base with a zero defect mentality and precisely what outcome can you prognosticate?
Haden blows! A Hanford Dixon he is not!! Not physical enough. Haden has been burnt all 3 games! I'll stick with this. We should of took Watkins then Carr last year in the 1st rd. At least Carr is starting. Gilbert isn't starting, Manziel isn't starting. Remember I said before the draft. Take Robinson or Watkins then best QB available. He hit on West but missed the ball on Gilbert. Good game to watch still keeping the faith as always. Go Browns!!!!
Wow what a game by the Browns today! I know the stats won't show it, but I like them running the ball with West and Crowell. Screw Tate when he gets back. Hawkins had WAY too many moves for Chykie Brown today, and Matt Elam got abused. I didn't think the Browns had the receiving weapons to compete, but Hoyer just kept picking on the Ravens weak links since there was not much of a pass rush. I don't know what the ceiling is for the Browns this year, but they don't feel like they should be 1-2 right now.
Opening statement: ?(We?re) obviously very disappointed. I thought for the bulk of it the players played well enough to have a victory. I put this one on me. We didn?t coach well enough to win today. I?m not going to get into too much of the specifics until I get a chance to go through it. The list is long. I?ll open it up.? On what happened on the missed field goals and if the snap was OK: ?I?m not sure. Some of the snaps, to me, looked a little low throughout the day, so I?m not sure.? On the run defense throughout the day: ?Not good enough. It was inconsistent. There were times we were solid at the point. Then other times it was guys in the wrong spots, playing the wrong technique, giving up too many big runs. On some of those big runs we missed some tackles too. Not near good enough to be successful.? On what was going on with the substitution on defense that caused the Browns to use timeouts: ?It?s one of the things I?m talking about. We need to be better with our procedures, with our communication to the guys that are on the field ? with the procedure of getting guys in and out.? On what would have happened if WR Travis Benjamin caught the ball on the punt at the end of the game: ?You?d like him to. I just don?t know. It was obviously windy. That?s one that you hope that even if he bombs it that he can still fair catch it. That?s a couple first downs worth.? On the plays that hurt the team after the DB Tashaun Gipson pick and the big WR Taylor Gabriel catch: ?Yeah. Absolutely. You miss chances. You can?t blow opportunities like that. We need to be more on point when we get opportunities like that to take advantage of them ? not go backwards.? On what he saw on the Gabriel catch and if he was losing the ball in the air: ?I?m not sure. It was windy. He was tracking the ball. The long balls and punts obviously weren?t easy to track. He made a heck of a play scrambling to his feet.? On how unfortunate it is that they lost after such a great performance by QB Brian Hoyer today: ?Yeah, he played well. (He) made some great throws. That?s what this league is all about is making enough plays to win and as coaches, putting your players in the best circumstances and the best situations to be successful. We didn?t do near a good enough job to do that today.? On the penalties, specifically those committed by DBs Joe Haden and Justin Gilbert: ?What do you want me to say? Penalties are bad.? On if the penalties were tick-tack calls: ?No, until I see it I can?t speak on them, until I see the coaches? copy.? On if the throws to WR Andrew Hawkins were catchable late in the game: ?Yeah, it?s hard. We needed some first downs at the end. We needed to convert, and we weren?t able to do it. Again, it?s at the end of the game. We need to make plays to win, and again put our guys in situations to be successful.? On if the offense got away from what it was doing late in the game or if it was a matter of execution: ?Probably a little bit of both. They made some adjustments too, but I thought ? this was already mentioned ? I thought Brian played well. We did hit some runs, but I think just overall they played better than we did in the fourth quarter. Obviously, that was the reason.? On the pass play to QB Johnny Manziel being an illegal play because Manziel was within five yards of the sideline and if the Browns were aware of that: ?Yes. It was our understanding that where he was lined up was sufficient.? On if he thought RB Terrance West was moving as the ball was snapped on Hoyer?s completion to Manziel: ?It?s hard to tell. I was more looking at their coverage to see if they recognized it.? On if Hoyer?s pass to Manziel was just to catch the defense off guard: ?Sure, just when you?re multiple personnel groupings you just have a chance to? Defensively, you always teach your guys, ?Make sure you scan the field.? It?s a play that surfaces throughout the league a couple times a year.?
