The weird thing is the browns actually have a decent run game. I mean, unlike that horrid Lions team they aren't 32nd in the league in nearly every category - they actually have hte #1 rushing offense in the NFL. I think it's likely they pull 2-3 wins and avoid going 0-16 but it's the Browns. They could certainly poo poo themselves every single game

A run game is nice when they don't put the ball on the ground and fail to cover it up on 2 subsequent drives. Which causes bad field position and a rookie QB throwing from his own goal line trying to force a pass late in the game to save it.

the buckwild Browns are ready to win all kind of games and prizes.

Your team was the last one that we beat to break an 11 game losing streak. Even after Shurmers play list got blown over to the Bengals sideline.

the browns' maybe-adequate rookie QB clody keser was taken off with a concussion today so they are going with tiny dual-"threat" udfa kevan hogen for the foreseeable future

I want to see how many QBs we can go through this year. I think McCown will be back next week so I do not see Hogan going on the Hydra though :(

Just wanted to point out that at least I got two things right back in week 2 :smug:


I mean...do you really think the problem with that team is the QB play? Certainly being down to their 4th? 5th? string guy isn't helping matters much but that whole team just seems bad in a way that only truly historic teams are.


Browns should cap this all off with a 0-16 run.

No the historically putrid would be the 1999 Browns, this team is bad but they will get a win at some point and this will be just another bad season in a long string of forgettable bad seasons. It has building blocks that are showing flashes in games, a quarter of the team are rookies. And our depth has been ravaged by injuries.

Just imagine what it'd be like if Gordon and Coleman were starting. Any quarterback would have a chance when you have Pryor, Coleman, Gordon, and Hawkins on the field at the same time.

Not if he can't get the ball more than 15yds down field. That is my main complaint about Kessler. Safeties are playing in close because we have no deep ball to speak of.

Say AJ Green and Gio Bernard?

Do the Bengals have an Elite TE that our LBs/safeties can't cover? Yes, yes they do. Do they have a downhill running back that that our LB's and secondary will bounce off of in the second level? Yes, Yes they do. Do they have a D Line that pummell Hogan/McCown/Griffin??/Kessler/that other dude into a fine pulp? Yes, yes they do.

I still want to know what a 2008 Lions vs. 2016 Browns game would be like, or even just a roster comparison. I think Megatron alone would carry the Lions past the Browns anyway but I don't know much about their roster this year.

I think someone did that Sim that SA2K does and the 2016 Browns murdered the 2008 Lions nearly every game.

The Bills game is the last winnable game for the browns. If the Bills lose today and Rex gets fired as reports indicate, this team is going to quit hard.

No, the chargers coming to Cleveland sans Bosa/Gordon would be.

Yeah I can't fathom how you look at rg3s game yesterday and immediately call him the starter next week. Kesslers brains must be more scrambled than they're letting on.

2015 JFF is better than 2016 RG3 I saw plenty of plays where he was flushed from the pocket and there were guys open 5-10yds downfield so he launches it 50-60 yds downfield into double triple coverage. All of his passes were way off target too and he started getting in Coleman and Pryor's faces who the hell knows what.

I didn't watch any of the game yesterday, but if RG3 was airing it out too much, I blame Hue. Checking down too much was the reason he benched Kessler so RG3 is trying to compensate for that imo

I'm not talking about check downs or dump offs, he literally never looked at anyone not streaking down the field for the first half.

In part. The thinking was that he was, uh, not exactly mr. sunshine and would hurt the team's ability to attract new fans in Baltimore and while he was doing alright he was not doing well enough to attract fans based on his success. If the team didn't move there's a decent chance he'd have gotten another year.

If the team hadn't moved his second year would probably have had more wins too.

Yeah he was accurate his rookie year cause he'd just throw it at garcon like five ten yards away but his rookie year teams basically had to have a linebacker watching him/the read option handoff on pretty much every play.

I think that was the year garcon broke or almost broke art monks team record for receptions? Almost all of them were that short game.

Well that has gone away completely. It's 50/50 if his pass is even in the same time zone as someone 5-10 yards away.
