Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns - Official Game Thread (Part II)

Colt McCoy has been accurate today but has gotten in a little bit of trouble with a pair of deep balls he has thrown and been intercepted on. Nonetheless, it has been a fairly exciting game with the Cleveland Browns down 13-10 at halftime. This is the second half game thread, go Browns!!!

Please no “first” comments.

Well he did say Fist

Just logging in & on here.

Game looks under control; statwise just the interceptions stand out- no sacks?

Yup.

So all is good. WE can do this.

I mean, Colt has looked fine other than the INTs. And he missed a TD pass. But I’m still happy with him at QB.

D was soft against the run, decent against the past.

As much as I hate to say it, I may watch some of the Broncos game just to see how Tebow does.

Someone please tell Shannon Sharpe you can’t use that shirt with a tie. He looks like a waiter/lumberjack with a jacket.

LOL, he sure does.

Anyone else see that ref fall on his ass on the Jets/Bears highlights?

I did. I was paying attention to the horrible decision by Cutler, though.

Browns on 3rd down in the first half: 5-of-6.

Yay!

We just limit turnovers, improve the run D, and Colt needs to make the throws that we know he can make.

Our achilles heel this season.

Colt looks better on 3rd D than anyone else I’ve seen, how were the Ints? Rookie error? Bad luck?

I did look the play calling on the last drive of the 1st half.

look
like

Jesus Christ, what a pathetic attempt at a pass rush. Sack the guy!

I’m really getting sick of us letting non-mobile quarterbacks run all over us.

I hate that we can’t finish sacks.

Complete fuckery.

That was a huge bowl of fail. Way to come prepared for the 2nd half, eh.

If we don’t get a TD now, we’re screwed.

This is why we ran the clock before the half. Our D stinks.

In short, we don’t think we can win the game, then.

No, our depth on D is not such that we can weather 3 first half turnovers by the offense.

Buzz kill to start the second half.

picking on Brown all day.

Sheldon Brown is getting victimized by Grandpa Mason.

Yeah, that onside attempt killed us. I know, “Hey, if it had worked, we’d all be cheering!” I realize that. But giving them a short field sucks.

yes it did. If I was mangini, I would do that again because he had them off guard and 10 of the players on the field executed it well.

Despite the last series, I like our chances better on a short field anyway.

Miscues. Browns football.

Synonymous.

These announcers are just ragging on mangini with no backing.

“Ill advised Onside kick”…Well if that kick goes 2 more yards, thats a genius play. Thats all on Dawson. Aggressive call that totally caught them by surprise.

And a drop… too many mistakes.

Way to blow your first reception, Williams.

Ravens 44, Browns 10

Delhommesque there. Man, McCoy is looking like the rookie he is today.

McCoy is just not himself today.

reports of flu earlier in the week

Yes, I was wondering if that might be part of it.

he’s completely himself – a rookie. he’ll shake it off though.

Yeah. It’s a learning experience.

Rachel needs to ready the pediasure and pbj's

Not an ideal start.

We sure are a dedicated group.

LOL @ the orange jumpsuit guy.

awful physique. just awful.

He grabbed that girl and flashed his camel toe to all of America.

McCoy and our 1st rd pick to Carolina for Andrew Luck?

I’d do that.

Nah. dunno if Luck is guaranteed to be good enough for it to be worth it.

No draft pick is a guarantee but Luck is considered the most NFL ready QB since Matt Ryan

my point was: I don’t think its worth giving up on colt yet.

LMAO

A stop on 3rd and short? No way!

Did Cribbs fair catch that or did he just forget to run?

Wow. Cribbs got destroyed there.

Go colt, you’re a good QB. You can do this.

My RBs have combined to give me 5 points.

Vickers for the 1st!

Yeah vickers!

vWickers dominates.

vWickers?

from a thread a few weeks back. nevermind.

I like it when we run vWickers. Wish we did it more often.

Ouch. Watching those replays of Wright on Boldin is gut-wrenching.

I’m not a fan of colt’s stash, i’m not gonna lie.

9-17, 81 yards, 2 INTs… definitely looking like a rookie today.

Wish these two clowns would stop laughing

Bring back Criqui!

Hey. There was a 43 yard pass, golan.

Shit. C’mon robo.

it was minor contact, happens on every play

exactly. all of a sudden the browns are doing well and the refs are calling ticky tack calls…and the announcers are on the nuts of the refs

That was a BS call

Such a bullshit call on Robiskie

WTF, c’mon guys.

Too bad. Great throw and catch.

Air it out, Colt haha.

St. Clair = 325lbs of worthless

Our line sucks in the second half.

That should have freakin’ been a catch by Robiskie. 42 yard pass nulled. UGH.

Beauiful punt and coverage.

Props to Robiskie for going after the ball. If it was not the Browns he was playing for it’d have been a catch.

On the bright side, Robiskie is starting to bring something to the table.

I really do worry about mangini’s job. I think he’s gone.

yeah, he’s gone after the season

I worry because a game like this which will be decided by things out of his control (ticky tack calls, McCoy playing like a rookie, poor execution by the WRs, McCoy, and Dawson) will decide his fate.

Good way to put it.

You’re right, Mangini had nothing to do with this team’s play today.

Colt’s rating is a 26.5. /cringe. Feel free to make up for it next week against the Steelers.

That’s DAesque.

and he’s still playing better than DA.

REC! Hilarious.

HADEN WITH ANOTHER PICK!!!!

HADEN!!!!!!!!!!

Nice hit on Flacco by… Brown?

What? No penalty?

What a grey draft we had.

*great

Let’s kill some Ratbirds

Bell for the first!

Taco Bell running past the border!

NYJ vs. CHI is a shootout.

Holes starting to show up for the offense.

That should be a flag.

If they called a flag on Robo earlier, why wasn’t that? It was like the same thing!

Becase the Ravens DB knew to flop when pushed. Williams didn’t flop.

it was actually a little bit more contact than on the offensive PI

Hey, golan… That was a long pass.

Let me know when one goes for a completion. ;)

Ha, I know. But he does have the ability to throw it. That throw wasn’t really off the mark.

The deep one to Robiskie was a good one as well. Too bad about the interference call.

Yeah that one as well.

He hit his freaking arm. These announcers are pissing me off. That was PI. He swatted Robo’s arm for crying out loud.

I don’t see how Robo’s flag was worse than Wilson cheese-gratering Williams like that.

I think it’s 4 down football here

That is a disgusting stat.

McCoy, you’re depressing me today.

Another bad throw. McCoy is having a really crappy game.

And he started off well, too.

1-9 on his last throws.

Colt’s shown he can leaf our team from behind. I trust him.

Maybe that’s the problem. We need him to lead, and he’s busy leafing.

I’m not there obviously, but I don’t doubt his leadership skills.

I don’t really care for the way this game is going. Looking like 5-11 again.

I don’t like how I feel like we’ve given Baltimore almost all of their points gift wrapped.

McCoy is a changed man.

It’s one bad game. I’m not that worried. Plus, it’s Baltimore. If this was against a team with a crappy D, then I’d be worried.

You can do it colt. Don’t get discouraged.

19.7 rating. /Weeps.

I’m thinking positive, I know we can do it.

Giving up a 5 yard run on 3rd and short? You can’t win like that.

Let’s go D, put us back in this.

They did with the Haden int, but we couldn’t do anything with it :/.

Another failed pass rush

Housh is killing us.

I really don’t care for the Eagle / Fouts combo. Annoying.

Fouts is intolerable

Sent Haden to school? Normally I don’t care for announcers, but these guys are pissing me off more than Doc Emerick’s NHL coverage on NBC. Fuck these losers.

This. They’re really irritating.

This is my friend’s first Browns game. Sucks that it had to be this one.

I’m really hating this game right now.

Two positives:

1. Haden still looks great.
2. Robo is emerging.

Negatives:
1. Everything else

This CHI-NYJ game is ridiculous. All those points with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

Bend and then break.

Considering the number of defenders we’ll be losing to the retirement home (unless we have another Ted Wahington in the making) I’m worried about this front 7.

Haden! Too bad the fumble didn’t stay in bounds.

We really need to do something, like now.

Haden had to come to tackle the QB, boy does the pass rush suck today.

THERE’S STILL HOPE. Come on, Colt! You can do it.

Score now and we’re only down by 3.

Starting from our 5 yard line. God.

We’d be pretty good if we had a dozen Hadens.

he has to do everything. Cover, get turnovers, sack the quarterback. Even return kicks if Cribbs is out.

He’s like the Cribbs of the defense.

Even the football wants us to lose. Everything hate. The browns.

Ha. Someone on WFNY said that Colt’s stache must be bad luck.

I’m holding my McCoy shirt. Hoping it will bring some luck.

2 completions in a row now that I’ve brought it out.

When did Moore get put on IR?

Watson hurt. Kill me.

Shite. Now Watson.

Go figure. Colt’s main target is now out.

Only the Browns can carry 4 tight ends all year and still run out.

Shit, watson’s hurt.

There’s literally no one left to play tight end.

Time for the Alex Smith show!

lol that’s why I said nobody

Joe T.

yup. Move St. Clair to left tackle!

This is how we win.

Good save colt.

Work off the stress colt.

The shirt is working!

I really do like stuckey in the slot.

That sounds dirty.

I was gonna say TWSS, but I still can’t wrap my head around how it works.

You would go there.

Enough with the farking laughter, Fouts

Let’s go browns!!!

Watson leaps for the first! Hahaha!

Ever since I have held the shirt, McCoy has 1 incompletion.

It’s like a rosary

The no huddle seems to be suiting us.

It does regardless of the QB.

Maybe Daboll should spot something….

I wonder what our second half scoring differential is.

Oi, that was a huge drop

Stuckey tried to turn too fast on that one. Should’ve been caught.

Wow, we had the fewest dropped passes in the leauge.

I HATE MY LIFE.

The shirt has failed.

Double coverage. Boo.

That’s game.

Too bad that lateral didn’t fall to us…

Another completion for Colt.

See you guys later. I’m out.

This makes me a sad panda.

Pack your bags, fellows. Season’s over.

Not until I saw some Steelers get knocked around.

Eh, they’re not going to play hard. They know Mangini’s job was on the line today.

Learning experience for him. That’s all I can say. Really thought we had something going there on that drive.

And if Stuckey hadn’t dropped that pass just now… if, if, if…

:(

Time to root for Cincy for their next two games so we can get a better draft pick than them.

Who do you want?

I haven’t looked into it too much yet, but obviously we need a WR1 and an elite pass rusher so guys like AJ Green, Julio Jones, Nick Fairley, Robert Quinn and DaQuan Bowers come to mind.

What a shitty end to the season this has been. Let’s hope it ends a little more positively next week.

All if forgiven if we can beat the Steelers… (ha!)

Onside fail was turning point.

Dawson and McCoy should share the goat this week.

This also sounds dirty.

McCoy by a landslide.

I unfortunately agree :/.

Still think he’s the future though! This was his first truly “bad” game.

it was really bad

truly really bad game ;)

Steelers win be playing to win the division next week. Ouch.

Aren’t we lucky?

Good news is that Colt has faced the Steelers before.

the only positive today was ed reed catching on fire on the sideline.

That was priceless.

Wonder whether we’ll end up with hardest schedule played? We were third -ish before facing these two.

Lockout could be best thing for Browns next year.

Our scabs could be as good as anybody elses.

Lockout could be best thing for Browns next year.

The Replacements. Great movie.

IPhone went crazy

Lockout could be best thing for Browns next year.

Our scabs could be as good as anybody elses.

It’s not looking good for Mangini right now.

forget it, he’s gone

If he is, Holmgren should be as well.

yup. this wasn’t bad coaching today.

I just want Heckert to stay. Don’t really care about him or Holmgren.

Why?

Let the Gruden speculation continue!

Hardly anybody in the stadium.

What fair weather fans.

The weather is anything but fair in Cleveland.

you’re kidding, right?

There’s still time for another INT!

I’m surprised we aren’t taking a knee here.

We should have started taking a knee on the first drive. Might have won the game.

Dead man walking

Al Davis? You watching the Raiders?

He’ll live forever, man.

We need to find a way to get Luck.

it would cost us too much. I don’t think its gonna happen.

I highly doubt that’s going to happen. Doesn’t Carolina have the first pick? They definitely need a QB. And if they don’t get it, Cincinnati will.

It’s way too much to gamble.

Luck is not coming out .

Wow. You think so?

Hell, why not shoot a little higher? Brady, you really happy up there in NE?

This sucks, but I can’t say I’m surprised we lost. Now we move into “coaches on the hot seat” and “who do we draft?” talk. Blah.

draft talk gets to be mind-numbing. not looking forward to it. it creeps into every thread like a foul stench.

baltimore really “stabbed” through our defense today; and they sure “murdered” our offense. they really “killed” us.

i c wut u did rite thar

there, my balding, slightly gayish reaction to this game

Boring second half. I’m taking a nap.

As a superlongtime Browns fans, I am tired of this. Yes, we were more competitive than last season, but this team is still not good. I give two shits about potential, moral victories, and how exciting next year’s draft can be…the lack of talent on this team is glaring.

The rest of us love it.

wow, clever retort.

They avoided Ward somehow didn’t they? His lowest statwise game of the season?

Well, I’m out. I’ll be back on the threads later. Have a good rest of your Sunday, everyone!

you too. I’m going to watch the late games. Indy at Oakland could be good.

3 weeks ago we were discussing possible playoff scenarios; now we’re firing the coach and saying we have no talent? which is it? we all need to relax. we’ve had injuries and we’re playing good teams. good teams overcome that; we’re marginal, so we can’t yet. mangini is doing the right things, as frustrating as it has been the last few weeks. give him time to build.

I hope that happens.

But I’m forseeing sufficient turnover oin our front 7 that improving might be a real ask.

The last three games were awful. We played two bad teams and one good team and we never had a realistic shot at winning them. I never bought the playoff hype but I was expecting to win at least one of these games. This team is regressing.

THIS

I totally agree with all of this.

the team turns the ball over 4 times including 3 INTs by the QB. a couple of questionable calls and a poorly executed onside kick (from the kicker) and this could cost the coach his job.
