I agree with you AGT. Throwing the ball there before the half was unnecessary, especially the way they were moving the ball on the ground at the time, and the clock was getting chewed up, too. I was at the game, and even though there wasnt a sell-out crowd all the motivation shifted after that INT. It brought the fans back in the game and they never shut up after that. I thought that Jake should have been pulled because he was clearly limping on the sideline. Who know's, wallace could have scrambled to get us out of the shadow of the endzone...oh, well--we were not going to be undefeated anyway...Go Browns!

One other thing that I noticed when I watched the redap of the game: when Barton recovered the fumble at the end of the game, there was nobody around him except for Trusnick who held him down. If he gets up and runs with the ball, there would have been a little less pressure on the offense. anyways, big game for the Browns next week against KC--a must win before they start a strech of games that looks pretty brutal.

Having watched the Michigan game I'd like to see the Browns use a spread option formation with Wallace in the shotgun with Cribbs in the backfield, Moore and Watson split wide of the formation, Robiskie in the slot and Massaquoi in motion. It's all read option.

Here's what really grates my cheese. The defense at that time is killing the Bucs. They can't get anything going. The running game is chewing up yards. You have an 11 point lead. Things are going according to plan. What else do you want? It's like everything you could possibly want out of this team is happening and the stupid coaches wanted more. They wanted Kurt Warner and Larry Fizt out of JD and MM.

Just how it is.Put it on the coaches if you may, but Delhome is a game changer to the bad side of the definition.All that said, He has always seemed like a really good guy who wants to be the best, but makes some horrible decisions.

My point is you can limit that by not passing especially when you don't have to. When Jake gets you a lead don't get greedy for points, especially when your defense is playing good. The coaches should have gone run first from the time they got the lead.

I mean you only have two wideouts on the entire team vs five running backs.

So do the fans! But at least we are a little bit more rational about it. Worst play of the game, right before the half. With such a tough schedule ahead, the Browns needed that one at Tampa. Now they need the KC game even more.

Especially when your backs are averaging 4-5 yards per carry (when they hold onto the ball). Why is Jerome Harrison only getting 9 touches a game? Option offense with Cribbs and Harrison in the backfield. Screen passes. Get the ball in his hands and let him do work. He has a chip on that shoulder (at least he should) for all the hype on Hardesty. He's a quality back and needs the chances to make plays.

How does it feel having ZERO hope for ANY of your teams to be winners anytime soon?

If all your hope revolves around professional sports, then your priorities are out of line. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what really matters. Seriously, if no Cleveland team wins a championship before Judgement Day, I'm cool with that. I have family, friends and most of all a God that loves me. Keep spewing your hate, but I think that it is about time for you to do some self-reflection and decide what is truly important to you. Dig deep, and take it seriously--it might surprise you that what you think you lack is right under your nose. Good luck.

Why worry about the Chiefs? Worrying does nothing positive for one's life. Careful when you say "all" of your teams win. Last time I checked the Orioles were not a playoff threat. And the Tribe has a 3.5 game lead on your Orioles--if you want to compare. Yes the Ravens are ahead of the Browns in the standings, and so are the Skins. It's week one. Why can't you type something meaningful, or at least add something new to your repertoire? Are the Skins part of "your" teams? Otherwise you have a way below .500 baseball team and a pretty solid football team to watch ''win.'' It's not a secret that the Indians suck. It's not a secret that Lebron left--did you miss the televised event? It's not a secret that the Browns are not an elite team in the NFL. The more you speak in ultimatums, the more uneducated you sound.

LCBF,I wouldn't be too bothered about any of the clap-trap BS,this individual types,Because it show's it's lacking in any prospect of being a decent poster..He just want's"Attention"."Feed the Troll",cuz He's Hungry......

I know EZ. It's not his first account here, and it won't be his last. I've know people like this my whole life, and I can't help but feel sorry for them at times. Everyone always ridicules them (myself included) and attacks them. I guess I was tired of the arguing, and gave a last effort to be civil.

Put another one on 'em

How do you not stress ball security after last week? And just what sort of team does Brian Daboll think he has? The Patriots?

Seriously a second straight second half meltdown, that can ONLY be blamed on coaching.

Uh-oh...
