For some reason I just started thinking about how he had to have gotten paid off. He had too..

by smashmouthsteel on Sep 14, 2008 4:24 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

haha

quite random.

Damn, Denver whooping SD so far. In striking range again.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 5:11 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Both the Jets and Pats

have looked inept so far. I’m liking the Bills for that division more and more.

by Desroko on Sep 14, 2008 6:03 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

totally

Yeah neither team looked like they knew what they were doing.

Very impressive win. AFC South looks overrated to me now. TN is still solid, and Colts will be there. But from top to bottom, not as good as people thought, and not as good ast NFC east it seems.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 6:25 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

wow!

Ironically, talking to Skin Patrol on the phone and he was incessant that teams didn’t go for 2 more often. This was well before the end of this game.

Kudos to Shanahan. Ballsy!.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 7:40 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

+1

I turned to my roommate before the Bronco’s scored and said, “I wonder if they should just go for two? Your defense isn’t holding up and you’ve got a decent chance of getting a 2 yard gain.”

Lo and behold Mike Shanahan has me miked. Or maybe he makes his own decisions… Hard to call.

OT

what’s the point in playing it safe when your reward is a coin flip in OT??

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 7:47 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

my thoughts exactly

You get the two you win basically. that’s worth it to me.

by Chicago Steeler on Sep 14, 2008 7:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Gutsy call

but by rights SD won that game. They were screwed over twice, resulting in 15 pts the other way. These weren’t questionable calls – they were wrong calls.

by Desroko on Sep 14, 2008 7:48 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True...

I wondered if they should just over turn that out of bounds call on Chambers at the end. Give the Chargers a chance at a long field goal.

Broncos

had luck going their way all day with a few really bad calls so why not make take advantage

The OL shows its true colors.

And do the Brownies have field turf or grass? It looks too perfect to be grass on my low-def, smallish tv.

of course it’s real grass. it’s cleveland.

Exactly

I didn’t know they could grow grass there

aargh

wind or not, passing game looks off sync. and with the browns questionable secondary i bet we game-planned to throw, throw, throw to start things off. Arians, can you adjust? Tomlin, can you settle these guys down?

by syrsteelerfan on Sep 14, 2008 8:41 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah

wonder how much Ben’s shoulder is really bothering him

by schnifin on Sep 14, 2008 8:42 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

we're allright.

Defense looks impenetrable right now. We’ll put together a few drives.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 8:44 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

D does look good. A few holding calls on the Brownies NOT being called though. One on Troy P on the first play and there on Woodley

by Romain El 82 on Sep 14, 2008 8:47 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Woodley got held. Agreed.

But I do it.

Through 1 Qtr...

O-Line actually doesn’t look too bad thus far. Maybe I’ll eat my words, but I like what I see in general. Some nice holes for Willie, and Ben has had time to sling it. Now if we can just hold onto the ball…

by Hines Ward on Sep 14, 2008 9:06 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

run run run

I hope we run a little bit more frequently this quarter. Too sporadic with our rushing attack.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Same.

I know I said earlier that passing early and often on the Browns’ fourth-string starting secondary was key, but it’s pretty clear that passes can’t be handled in these conditions.

by Desroko on Sep 14, 2008 9:09 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

field position’s too important in this weather.

Was in the 1st half. Not so much now.

doesnt seem

to be for the browns this drive.

just wind

Light rain. Winds seemed to have died down a bit this half.

theyre hanging in there

Making the Browns earn it. I’m fine with that strategy. They need another tough 3rd down conversion here.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 10:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

there we go

4th down. Bend, dont break.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 10:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

bend but don't break

they just ran 6 min of clock and they still need a TD to tie

by schnifin on Sep 14, 2008 10:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

someone explain to me

Why they ‘have’ to kick the FG there.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 10:55 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

odds are

They don’t get anywhere near that close to scoring TD again. IF they even get the ball back that is. I don’t get it.

ha

great minds think alike

by schnifin on Sep 14, 2008 10:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because if they can stop our offense, they can get a game-winning TD. And honestly, right now I’m not liking the mojo.

by Hines Ward on Sep 14, 2008 10:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah. I’m not feeling the momentum at the moment.

by Hines Ward on Sep 14, 2008 10:57 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yea

i don’t trust that we can run 3 minutes off the clock

haha

All the negativity from last year creeping in!

We’re going to pick up a couple of first downs and ice this. They may get it back, but under 1 minute or there around. We’ll see!

new year new year

Would be so huge to see us close it out with the ground game.

Browns

I think you have to go for it there, what good does a FG do when you’re down 7?

by schnifin on Sep 14, 2008 10:55 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Late to Party...

But I want to see us run the clock out. Pound it and pound it and pound it some more.

And NO 3rd down QB rollouts!!!!!

Was just about to post something similar ;)

by Hines Ward on Sep 14, 2008 11:01 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Me too

I felt 2nd down need to be PA with so many in the box.

sure could have used stallworth and jones in this game…

Man of f’n man. That is TERRIBLE clock management by Crennel. Browns fans should be livid. Thats PATHETIC

not really news to me

crennel's

clock management is shockingly lousy.

by steelerark on Sep 14, 2008 11:06 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

not shocking

THis is a chronic problem. He’s clueless out there. He’s got to go.

new year boys and girls

We’ve answered some of the big questions about our team. Quiet night for FWP, but he’s at 100 yards.

rewinding. Just heard it! haha

Not Quite Over Yet...

I think it’s too early to kneel on it. I say a couple more doses of FWP.

by Hines Ward on Sep 14, 2008 11:09 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have a question

Since the clock stops anyway, why not try a pass there? Why not lob it into the endzone?

by Romain El 82 on Sep 14, 2008 11:13 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

why not

pooch it with Ben??? absurd.

by steelerark on Sep 14, 2008 11:13 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

+1

I’m a huge supporter of the Ben pooch

poooooooooooor brownies

Problems all happening just like Ive been saying!! Now, throw in the Crennle blunders and youve got the perfect storm!

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 11:15 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

eh, this is nothing like what you’ve been saying. crennel sucks at game management, no news flash there. this D is wildly improved. put this one on the offense.

or i’m just sideways drunk…

by kwoog on Sep 14, 2008 11:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

haha

Well, lets see. Earlier you said the difference was the play of the QBs. So, if fans are happy with Anderson, I guess things are not as I speculated might happen. And, you’re now to the road for four of the next five. Let’s see what happens in one or two more weeks time.

I also think that we’ll be hearing from Winslow after this game. Sounded like he was me-firsting int he locker room. The implosion is just beginning.

by Blitzburgh on Sep 14, 2008 11:19 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sorry Browns

Man, I feel bad for the browns fans. What a fool for a coach. Kicking a field goal with 3 minutes left and then blowing all those TOs. I guess there loss is our gain, but talk about not even trying to win.

by vin2k on Sep 14, 2008 11:18 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

it is sad

Because you can’t overcome that kind of coaching. Browns arent good enough to have any more disadvantages.
