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

It's been a turnaround for the Cleveland Browns this week. The defense, mostly in the match-up of Anquan Boldin vs. Eric Wright, has looked lost. But offensively, Peyton Hillis is a machine and Seneca Wallace is playing well. The Browns are down 14-10 at half-time but will get the ball first. Continue the second half discussion of the game here!

Buffalo giving the Pats a game 16-14

not good for me financially . . . it was my lock of the week

I think we should get Haden in coverage more rather than Wright right now.

If Haden gets in coverage it will be more than Wright.

make some adjustments, coaches

yeah, surprise us and do some halftime coaching

All of our games have been 14-10 at halftime. Maybe this time since we’re down we can win?

Second half offense! Please?

Hillis is pissed because he had something

Boom! Love the play-call.

Pashos is a big improvement over St. Clair, I think.

Meh, I’m okay with the run out of bounds.

Hopefully going into the half losing gets our offense going.

James Davis just got rocked.

DAVIS!

Loving it, loving it…

Too bad he just got hurt.

shit. Hardesty, Harrison, now Davis…who do we have after hillis?

Whoever we can get for Wright.

That’s the Seneca we know!

Dammit, Wallace!

Dammit I hate my stream being behind. Anybody have a better stream? I’m using channelsurfing.

be glad it’s working

…That’s why he’s a career backup.

this whole game is why he is a career backup. not that a ‘career backup’ can’t be effective in spots…

Never thought I’d say this but thank you Bross.

your welcome. I was actually looking it up too, and last game was an aberration with wallace. wallace usually is a guy who throws a lot of dumpoffs, short passes, etc..

He’s keeping us in the game and not turning it over.

yep. decent game manager…career backup…not much of a difference.

Bullshit.

yeah, maybe they aren’t the same thing. I dunno if I would classify Seneca as a decent game manager…maybe passable.

Great punt by Hodges.

Great coverage I thought too. We had someone (didn’t catch who) on a dead run right at their punt returner, pretty much forcing the fair catch.

now we have to put pressure on Flacco because he’s going to make a mistake

Covering ’quan might be a good idea, too.

Why do we keep letting Rice go free!?

And I just saw that Wright is still in.

Well, at least he sucks so much he didn’t give a shit about sacking.

Wright should not be on the field. This is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s getting silly and old

3rd and 9. cover boldin!

OH! But on the bright side… Anquan Boldin is injury prone. Maybe he will get injured!!!

Is TJ not helping wright out at all?

It has nothing to do with Ward. It’s all about Wright and him not giving a crap about anything he’s being asked to do.

Whew. Good stop boys.

Good tackle by Sheldon.

Wright, getting one sack wouldn’t have excused your horrendous play anyways…try to play some coverage maybe for once in this game.

billy cundiff has a big leg. he’ll make this

Cundiff has always struggled from 41-49, back in Dallas that got him cut.

Thank you Cundiff. Way to work for your old team.

Good field position, let’s do this shit.

Good field position and Hillis has had a bit of rest. Go ahead score, anyone?

Billy still playing for the Browns

Andre Johnson hurt? Anyone watching the Texans game?

Hillis, 6 catches.
Cribbs, 4 catches.
Watson, 4 catches.

It’s clear who Wallace’s favorite targets are.

Is MoMass out?

no, he’s in. hasn’t made a cacth yet though.

Haha, good job Cribbs stretching the ball out.

I like how Cribbs extended the ball.

Anyone here still think Tampa Bay is for real?

wasn’t their other win against Carolina?

Not much Vickers could do. Good try though.

They’re starting to cover the checkdowns.

That check down seemed to come too quick.

Alex Mack just pancaked Ray Lewis

Boneheaded play by Watson.

Wha’ hoppin’?

Some Ravens guy had a late hit on somebody, Watson hit him back. Watson got the penalty.

Thanks for the update.

Fuck! Come on people!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WATSON!?

Any more details on the Andre Johnson injury? Single game, single quarter? Season ending? I need details.

That play would’ve gotten us a first down if not for that fn stupid penalty. God.

what happened?

Watson got an unnecessary roughness that made it 3rd and 23 rather than 3rd and 9.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not that greatly upset with the penalty.

Couldn’t agree more. Said it when it happened.

It is about time we stop getting pushed around by Baltimore. It was a “bad” penalty but I am glad that someone finally punched back. It is a mentality thing to me.

It pissed me off.

Be the better man and walk away. That hit back shit is the sign of a weak mentality. You don’t want to be pushed around? Act civilized and win.

It is about time we stop getting pushed around by Baltimore. It was a "bad" penalty but I am glad that someone finally punched back.

And to add, this is the definition of the whole stooping down to their level.

I don’t want to be the Ravens, nor do I want to act like those pisses of shit.

Let’s act like smart football players and play football, not boxing. We don’t need to be thugs.

can’t afford that today. no margin for error.

If Mangini has balls, sit Watson.

Man that pisses me off.

Good call. Radio announcers said he was on the bench for that 3rd down play.

What did Watson do? I’m listening on the radio, and they didn’t say.

he got in a fight with haolti ngata, i think

Pile up at the end of the play. Haloti Ngata stood up and pushed Watson. Watson pushed back. Got flagged.

Browns football: Where missed opportunities and stupid penalties reign supreme.

Fucking ratbirds. Bunch of dirty convicts playing dirty football.

Gocong sighting.

Spiller just returned a kick.

Hillis better do more than Spiller this season b/c I dropped Spiller for him! Go figure!

Hillis Touches>>>>Spiller touches. Spiller is right now the 3rd option out of that backfield in the running game. Hillis right now is the first option and 2nd at worst (when harrison comes back)

Nice break-up by Joe Haden…

Barton is the high tackler so far.

Wright would have let that through today

Haden showing Wright how it’s done!

I thought that pass was gonna be complete, but up popped Haden.

LET’S TAKE THE LEAD HERE.

Besides Anquan Boldin, we are pretty much outplaying them today. I like it.

Wright needs whipped after today.

Pierre Thomas has 2 freakin points. So does Miles Austin.

Someone mentioned something about watching the Texans. Does anyone know anything about this alleged Andre Johnson injury? Can I get a confirmation with details?

Chris, Wright better already be the goat of the game.

Sounds like Andre Johnson is done. Writhing in pain holding his lower left leg (knee or ankle) seems to be the twitter consensus

Thank you. Now by done, you mean today or season?

Sounds bad. Maybe for the season. Texans fans are puking in their soup and cowboys fans are dancing on twitter.

let’s get back on the hillis train.

Let’s dial a up a deep pass to Cribbs.

MoMass is not that tall Seneca.

I think that one was tipped at the line.

Ugh. Another 3 and out coming up?

Another? It would be the first of the day for us.

FYI: Peyton Hillis the number one trending topic on Twitter. World wide.

Get some!

How bout some Wildcat?

First of the season? Daboll prob just won’t get to it.

Anyone seen Stuckey today?

He’s been in. He was in on the first play of this drive, at least.

feed died again

R.I.P.

back to Red Zone Channel I guess sigh

Ahh Iost my streaam!!

What a dumb call.

If they’re putting 8 in the box, wouldn’t it be time for some play action?

wow anyone else see that call from a mile away?

Why do we keep running from the shotgun on 3rd and long?

That’s stupid.

Obviously you’re too young to remember the ‘Metcalf Draw’.

You think Daboll knows that?

I guarantee that Daboll has had the 3rd and long draw play drilled into his head. Any coach who has ever fell out of the Belichick tree knows that play and uses it often.

if they are playing the pass and its a draw play up the middle to hillis, Its not a bad idea. on that first and 20, hillis got like 8 yards on the same kind of play

Like the playcall. Just got tripped up.

Because there were 8 in the box which turns that into a stupid playcall.

And I disagree.

You would.

You’re right, I would. And Steve Beuerlein agrees with me.

You know these announcers are idiots right? And I’m pretty sure he hated the call also.

I disagree on a basic level that Steve Beuerlein is an idiot about football. I am 110% certain he knows more about professional football than you or I. I will trust him judgment over yours.

So Tony Kornheiser knows more about football than me too huh?

That is bad analysis.

Did I say that? Did Tony Kornheiser play professional football? Steve Beuerlein did.

Do you know anything?

I know a lot of people who played football and knew shit about it.

Are you even trying?

I am literally saying that Steven Beuerlein, the person, knows more about football than you or I. I am not making a judgment on anybody else who has played the game or comments on the game.

I’m not going to get into this with you. You are renowned as the village idiot around here. It shows.

Wtf? I like how you change the argument at the end. I know I don’t get that distinction. You argument at first was about him being an announcer and because of that ke knows more than me. Your logic is faulty.

That wasn’t my argument. That was what you perceived as my argument. Just because you have zero reading comprehension does not mean that my logic is faulty.

You are renowned as the village idiot around here. It shows.

This is true.

Why the fuck are you in this? And I doubt I am. By a few people and what? BB? Bullshit.

I understand what you mean though. He played in the NFL and was a QB. they usually have a better understanding of the game than other positions. then again, not always and he isn’t one of the more intelligent former QB announcers IMO…he is average IMO

I like how you started talking like an indian at the end there.

funny stuff. rec.

I think Hillis surpassed Lewis for leading rusher vs Ravens

Nice defense by Fujita there.

Our defense has really stepped up.

will the offense do the same?

Anyone got a radio feed to share? That other one died too :(

That was the NFL finally finding all the illegal feeds.

My God, the radio announcer just referenced Waiting For Godot

where nothing happens, twice

thats pretty hilarious.

Check downs are coming too quick again.

PEYTON FUCKING HILLIS

HILLIS!!!!!! FSOHDSOFHSD)PF#UWF(JJFOIES

HILLIS!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY GOD.

Hillis- first 100 yard rusher against the Ravens for the Browns

WHY DIDN’T I START HIM

I reeeallly should have started Hillis this week.

+10000000

I hate myself right now.

22 points.

I’d be winning now. Instead, I’m down by 18.

Joe Thomas set that up beautifully.

142 yards against the ravens, he should be the feature back from now on

Vickers with the Block!

Woot. there’s that wildcat!

Flashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Oh my god, it’d the Wildcat!

he called it “the kent golden flashes” . . . dumb ass

Hurt them. Hurt them now.

I’m foaming at the mouth with glee.

Let’s wait until we get a TD and lead…

Bickers is the truth

fyi Justin TV streaming well today. Don´t have Browns game but they do have the NFL Redzone and highlight channel.

Who here really wants to watch anything other than the Browns right now? :)

For those of us out of country

Vickers* damn phone

Who made that block on the outside to spring Cribbs? Awesome

another good thing about this game? no fumbles! knock on wood

No turnovers either!

RUN THE BALL

OR DO THAT!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice trick phuck!

That was a risky throw…

Wallace gave me a near heart attack with the high throw, but TD!

Good thing it wasn’t Reed in there or he would’ve capitalized.

Defense, time to do your part.

…. and here we will see daboll call the plays like the ravens are down by 20….

Hush. No one likes your pessimism.

Isn’t that the reason we’re winning? Running the ball?

We’re up! We’re actually up!

Now lots of good D coming up, I hope.

First points of the second half this whole year. About damn time.

Can that be right? That’s just sad!

Got so excited I forgot that part.

I knew starting Watson would come good one day.

FYI. Andre Johnson is back in!

regardless of what happens, I am extremely proud of this effort.

I like 2nd half scores.

Oh my god. I think TJ Ward just killed a man.

Gotta give Heckert credit on the Haden TJ picks. Very very solid rookies with some nice ceiling.

I almost thought Ward was flagged! Phew!

me too. that woulda been shitty because i think it was accidental.

I think Aiken got his second flag.

Well, time to cut Aiken. That was quick.

Rice, meet Smith.

Massaquoi just got his first catch.

Wright didn’t even try!

Thanks again Phil. Guess the sum total of all his contributions is Joe Thomas. 1 Stinking player.

He has thus far single handedly kept Baltimore in this game.

I was wondering how mason got open that quickly…then I realized brown wasn’t on him but wright was.

Christ. I AM STARTING TO HATE WRIGHT.

This game has made me hate him.

getting beat like a rented mule today; also, a mule is not an animal.

How many more examples do we need? Wright has to be doing this on purpose.

Wright beat again.

Wright cost us this game.

No, he only cost us 14 points and 115 passing yards against.

He have NOT lost yet.

who was that raven fan who wanted to trade eric wright for derrick mason? i’m thinking i like that trade

How long until Wright loses his position to Haden?

Well Eric Wright will be showing up on film a lot for this game.

My God. 3 missed tackles there.

Eff. The person I’m playing has Boldin starting. I’m kinda screwed. Thanks so much Brandon McDonald. I mean… Erm… Eric Wright.

About that. I’m kinda sorry, but not so much.

Fight.

I see Oher getting ejected.

he is lucky he didn’t. that was a punk move.

Wow. What the hell just happened there.

z

Its raining Yellow!

calm down, bear

Is Oher mad because someone him in the blindside?

/rimshot

TWO OFFENSIVE FOULS!

What happened?

Oher punched Robaire Smith

did he start by punching smith? I saw a punch after the initial contact between the 2 and the initial contact could have been a penalty too.

Meh, idk. That’s what the refs saw though.

yeah. i think it was fair. there would have been no problem if oher didn’t get involved.

False start. Robaire Smith pushed in on the TE. Michael Oher for B-more got on Robaire. Oher threw a punch. The field was blanketed in yellow flags. And the Browns got away without being penalized which we promptly blew by letting them pass for a 1st down.

HAHAHAHAHAHA BALTIMORE. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Hey-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Bring ’em back!

We should send some serious heat to the left side now.

Damn, nevermind.

lol, listen to those ravens fans. they’re pissed!

let them eat cake, bastards

COVER BOLDIN ON THIS PLAY.

Haden and Ward with the tackle. Love it.

Ugh. At least Adams tackled him.

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

MY GOD. WHAT THE FUCK. COME ON.

Can’t believe they converted that play. Jesus, guys.

the sheer effortlessness with which they move the ball is astounding. i know they havent dominated but still

Defense needs to get their hands in Flacco’s face more.

Rubin covering Rice?

well, he is tied for lead on the team in ints…

That’s a better matchup than Wright on Rice.

Geez, nice coverage by Rubin on Rice.

Come on boys. STOP THEM!

I have a bad feeling about this.

How many yards does Rice have?

80 on the ground; 16 through the air.

80 rushing, 16 receiving.

See: week 2 vs Kansas City?

Um, no.

that was in reply to emily’s “bad feeling”

Over the radio it sounds like Flacco has an eternity in the pocket.

he’s dropping back to pass a good 4-5 steps, it’s a risk he’s taking.

We’re definitely not getting enough pressure on him. To be fair, though, he’s made some good throws/receivers have made some good catches this drive.

decent pressure, not great though. definitely shows the loss of benard.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WRIGHT

OMGGGG

he has exactly 80

FUCKING A.

I saw that coming.

Rice on the bench getting worked on.

Eric Wright, burnt again. Eff.

Browns 17 – Wright 21

SHITTY FREAKIN SHITTY SHITTY SHITTTTTTTTT

effortless. completely effortless. wow.

This is not Ryan’s fault.

IT’S ALL WRIGHT!

NO IT’S NOT!

Ah, I guess no one got the joke.

Well, if you know Wright can’t cover 1 v 1. Why repeat the same mistake over and over?

Browns 17, Baltimore (via Eric Wright) 21

DAMN IT!!! What the hell is Wright still doing on the field???

At least get him off of ’quan.

F you, wright.

this why we got Brown and Haden and Ward.

get some dudes that WANT to f-ing play.

pick up your jock Wright. Damn he sucks

Is there seriously a reason we can’t switch someone else to cover Boldin?

at least TRY it, ya know. what’s the worse that can happen?

I mean, watch that replay. Boldin just made a hard cut towards the inside and Wright broke OUTSIDE.

That’s why he’s 3-5 yards behind him.

It’s still Wright’s fault though. I don’t understand how this takes the heat off Wright.

and that is Wright’s fault for making a bad read and biting on the fake. Boldin is just playing with him at this point. Boldin got open by getting him to bite on the fake for the 2nd TD too (and maybe the first, I don’t remember)

Right, I’m saying…Wright sucks.

yep. freakin SUCKS!

Haden, Haden, Haden…

can’t even blame Daboll.
Lame.

Why can Daboll adjust at Halftime but Ryan now can’t????

the defense was doing pretty well in the 2nd half besides that last drive

the defense was doing pretty well in the 2nd half besides that last drive eric wright

fixed

What the he’ll did Wright bite on? Hiss only job was to stay with Boldin. what a moron!

Boldin is a helluva WR

but there are several "helluva" WR's in the NFL.

if you play secondary, your job is to cover them.

I warned people of this coming the very day the Ravens got him.

Correct me if I’m wrong: Hasn’t Haden been covering Hushmanhoweveryouspellit all day? Which is why he has 0 receptions?

No comparison tho – Boldin in prime of career and Housh got cut by Seattle.

I’m asking. Isn’t that the case?

Well how bout a 9 minute drive that ends in TD?

Good idea. Pound the rock.

Eric Wright, the human piece of toast.

He’s more burnt that McDonald.

and this is the week my fantasy opponent has Boldin.

screw you, Wright.

This is insanely frustrating. Someone needs to hide Wright’s helmet.

0-16? too soon?

Yes. I’ve been thinking 2-14, maybe 3.

In the replay, it shows we had an all out blitz. why do you blitz 8 and leave eric wright in single coverage against boldin? expect pwnage.

That’s just what we needed.

Wow, HOW DOES SENECA FORGET THE PLAY?

Yikes.

He through a toss play on a counter.

Shit went crazy.

and the wheels officially come off.

you stupid douchebags.

DO NOt FUMBLE.

learn, you idiots.

Ray Lewis needs to shut the fuck up.

Well, leading against the Ravens and thinking we could win was fun while it lasted.

Buerlein actually had some interesting insight there. blame was on seneca not hillis. he noticed the blocking was for a counter play (which hillis was running) and not a pitch (which seneca thought it was)

What bucket of suck.

Ravens fans are such idiots.

how much time is left? is it too early to say that the browns have basically lost?

Yes, it is too early to say that.

Time to chuck it downfield.

No sense to burn a timeout there. A delay of game penalty would’ve pushed us back about half a yard only.

Eric Wright is the biggest goat ever.

He is the entire heard. But Ryan is in the heard for not trying to get him some help.

i cannot conceive of a universe in which it is even physically possible that we make this conversion.

Good attitude.

and…color me surprised.

And this is the Cleveland Browns I have come to know for the past decade.

why the balls are we on our own 3?

Seneca Wallace fugged up.

Mix up between Wallace and Hillis. Wallace pitched it to no one and ran the ball down on the 3.

I really hope i wake up tomorrow and see a "Wright has been traded article.

for what? who would want him?

What can we get for him after this game?

The team fell apart in two plays. I just don’t understand how they can be so inconsistent. Breaking our hearts again.

Hate to say it but the Ravens may well cover now

Cribbs is wide open over there. Wide. Open.

He wasn’t wide open; the defender was chasing the ball out of bounds so he appeared to be on the sidelines.

I was exaggerating. The DB was playing a good 10-15 yards off him at the line and there was a good possibility of him being able to catch a ball actually thrown to him.

Wow. Seneca just threw it out of bounds.

Jesus.

It was Quinnesque.

Or he is just that inaccurate on deep passes.

anyone ever think this stuff is rigged?

3 nearly identical games.

This is nothing like the first 2.

looks at score, 4th quarter scenario…

um.

yes, it is.

No, people rig games much better than this.

Well, if we have any hope of winning now we need to stop them right there.

Please. GIVE US A PICK 6 HADEN!

if they can hold them to a FG or less, they can tie it up or win it with a TD.

If it is any consolation, Seneca has accounted himself better than BQ and he is the number 2.

They are just gonna run … Unless Wright is covering Boldin

WARD THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wright ruined the game for us.

Ravens historically like to go for the kill with the deep ball against the Browns in the past rather than killing the clock.

And there was the attempt.

was Wright injured or something? just makes no sense.

Let Haden get some damn experience, no reason for Wright to be on the field.

Again, I’m asking: Hasn’t Haden been in the game the whole day?

Like 4 snaps maybe.

Who’s been guarding T.J. Houshmandzadeh?

Ward and a combination of linebackers.

he has been mostly in charge of covering Houshmanzadeh and houshmanzadeh hasn’t been in the game a ton and hasn’t been involved in the O much.

nice defense, stops the clock too

Buerlein isn’t TOO bad. he gives Rob Ryan credit and pretty much blames all of it on wright.

Plus, he was correct in his diagnosis of the non-call on Ward.

Ward can cover Boldin.

FINALLY! GET WRIGHT OUT! Thank you Ward.

STOP THEM RIGHT NOW.

3rd and 12. STOP THEM!!

Flacco looks to be imploding.

flacco stinks.

If it wasn’t for Wright, he’d look like shit.

shank this, cundiff!

radio= slower than you, nfl.com

eff. get a touchdown here! LET’S GO BROWNS!

Plenty of time left. Hope to face this problem – but I would go for 2 and the win if it comes up.

Those three are on Wallace.

one timeout left? boo.

Plenty of time left. no problem. We only got 1 drive tho – 4 down territory no matter wht.

I hope Wright get’s his ass beat in the locker room at the end.

Surprised at how Cundiff is just blasting his kickoffs…

How about some play action?

Can they not pass to Cribbs?

Interesting Stat: Hillis has 9 more yards (from the beginning of this drive) rushing than seneca has passing…in one less attempt than seneca has passed for. So we are getting more yards a play rushing than passing…wow.

Q: How do you stop Hillis?
A: You hit him with your whole defense.

Well, here we go…

uh oh. hillis might be injured

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

F daboll.

That’s on Seneca Wallce.

my thoughts. its hard to say for certain if he didn’t read his progressions or the play was designed to go to cribbs like that, but I am inclined to believe the former.

was that daboll or was that Wallace. Ben watson was running a pattern right at the first down marker and had more separation on his man. Was that a play where they meant to throw it deep to cribbs (which would be idiotic and make no sense) or did seneca just not read through his progressions and throw to his favorite WR target?

gotta go for it…

If you’re playing to win, yes indeed.

Clearly we want to “lost by less” which is dumb.

So we uhhhh forfeit?

I say we call it a day.

Sarcasm? This is professional football. Play to win the game.

We forfeited when we didn’t pull Wright after the second TD.

We were still playing to win at least. When we came out in the punt formation we were no longer playing to win.

Back to throwing how he did last week.

Did Baltimore take a timeout because Cribbs is in on special teams punt formation here?

apparently… radio guys throught so… possible fake?

Here’s the game.

I hate the fact that I feel like we could/should be 3-0 right now. 2-1 at the worst.

Long, deep ball down the sideline. Unbelievable.

If moon were here, he’d say how McCoy could’ve made that throw haha.

shoulda went for it. only 1 TO?

plus 2 minute warning.

sooooo yeah. we just waved the white flag with that punt there.

why the hell did we punt?

don’t know. They’ll run the clock out now.

someone needs to literally ask at the press conference, “why the hell did you punt?”

When did Wright become so shitty in coverage?

playing the field position game, maybe?

This is the ballgame, right here. Come on Browns.

Villegsar(sp?) Will need to delete his sig after this game.

Holy shit, Eric Wright again.

Guess who was on Housh?

Haden right!? I mean because he’s been covering him all day right?

Wright.

I was making a joke.

If this was pointed at me, I’m pretty sure this confirms you’re a drooling, mouthbreathing moron. I was asking above who has been on him. As a legit question. Because I didn’t know.

Game over.

Well, I gotta go keep studying. This sucks and so does Wright.

Wright got f-ing targeted.

the Ravens made him look like a douche.

he better get ready for this ALL SEASON

he better get ready for this the bench ALL SEASON

fixed.

And who starts in his place?

Haden.

Hasn’t Haden been on the field all day? We still need another DB covering somebody.

Wright should be #3 after this game.

Just trying to make the point that as long as Wright is on the field he’ll get picked on.

Wright got burnt by Mason, Boldin and Housh today.

I’m just saying, he should be on the field less.

We are in total agreement.

mike adams…that one FA we picked up from tampa…

another riff on it..

Ryan/Mangini he better get ready for this ALL SEASON

Browns lose, my fantasy team is getting owned b/c I didn’t start Hillis… ugh. Bad Sunday :(.

Em, Hillis is every week.

got him in two leagues. love it.

wright should be suspended for this shit.

So there’s the game. Oh well, we didn’t play that poorly. Just would be nice to win these games once in a while.

I hate moral victories too but we did not look as bad as my boys here in NYC kept saying we would

The know BAL lost to CIN, right?

We should still have over a minute and a Cribbs return shot. Too sooon to give up.

cant believe Mangini rolled over like that… all we needed was 2 yards and he punt this late in the game…

Too soon to panic. We will have a shot.

Really? And where was the ball if they did not get it? The smart choice was to punt and hope the D would hold.

Stop them here, we got the ball back.

Such bullshit. games over.

note to Browns: this is what happens when you trade for TALENT at WR.

Uh, no.

Boldin.

say something substantial if you’re going to reply.

What? Why do think Boldin was anything special? Have you not watched the game or even read the thread?

It was all Wright. Boldin did shit but walk and catch a ball wide open.

Boldin is a beast, but all credit for this Ravens win falls entirely on Eric Wright’s shoulders. 100%

Now they’ll have no TOs if they get it back.

browns are outta luck.

was it really Oher? radio makes it sounds like we’re getting cheated.

Oher punched somebody… Sorenson shoved after the play…

The good:
-Hillis

The ugly:
-Wright

Eric Wright gift wrapped the game to Baltimore.

I want Wright crucified.

Not in the literal term of course.

i was gonna say… yikes.

In a just world, Eric Wright gets cut tomorrow.

Prediction: Haden starts in his place by the end of the season.

end of the week.

How the hell are you arguing about Boldin being amazing then saying Wright sucked?

And then New England picks him up and he turns into a pro bowler.

The world is not just for Browns fans.

FWIW I still think the punt was the way to go. Plenty of time left, the defense is the strength of the team, and a stop we would have had plenty of time.

142 yrds, 3 tds.

You just do not get it.

thos are Boldin’s stats.

Big fucking whoop. You posted them because you keep trying to argue it was all Boldin and not Wright.

who was covering Boldin?

two sides to the coin.
if you want to argue specifics, well, it’s pointless.

(unless you say someone else coulda covered Boldin. if so, touche.)

Wright looked like he wasn’t even trying when covering Boldin.

what are the chances coaching staff will explain this (and their lack of a change up)?

Not sure how they plan on explaining it. Maybe lot’s of mumbling and coach speak.

we deserve better.

We deserve better than the game we just watched, too.

Omg what? Did you not see Ward cover Boldin? He shut him down on a huge pass where as Wright completely blew it!

late.

What? That’s a bullshit excuse. If he was such an awesome receiver, it wouldn’t have mattered if it was late. If you aren’t going to add something substantial then just don’t comment.

i was referring to your comment being late, not his coverage.

well…look at the job sheldon brown did against Derrick Mason. if you want to go the statistic route, Boldin is better than Mason, but not by much. when brown was on mason, he was pretty much shut down. maybe boldin has a good game if Brown is on him, but at least one of those touchdowns is negated if brown is on him…My prediction would be like 75 yards and a TD.

Yeah

Sheldon Brown can be confused with Champ Bailey, Asomugh or Darrel Revis. Brown is one of the great shutdown corners in the league. Andy Reid is a fool for trading Brown. Get real man!

I have no idea what you are smoking bross, please quit.

this is clearly not what he said, but then again you have shown a clear lack of ability to understand nuance.

wow…If I said sheldon brown was Darelle Revis or Nnamdi I would have said that Boldin would be COMPLETELY shut down. thats what those guys do, completely shut down guys. i gave boldin credit, I pointed out he would have still had a good game with our best CB on him, which is giving credit for playing well (75 yards and a TD is a good game). However, I pointed out he would do worse if guarded by sheldon brown.

Look at what brown did to mason. He held mason to 3 catches for 15 yards (the one 15 yarder mason caught in the 4th was when he was defended by wright). mason isn’t having that good of a season (granted, he has faced soe good passing Ds) but thats still an impressive performance.

So what you are really saying

Is that Wright sucks and Brown is the better player, okay. When is the DC going to be called out for the poor play calling and lack of adjustments. I’ve yet to see it in these threads.

All three games lost this season end with this terrible sensation that we could have won them save for a few individual mistakes/penalties. Today, it was the play of Eric Wright. This is what happens to bad football teams. Players coming up short when you need them.

Well, these Sunday rituals are at least comforting in their predictability.

i for one wouldn’t be mad if mangini and crew finally got the hook…make it happen holmgren

that would solve nothing. The game was not poorly planned or coached today.

Yeah, that’s what this team needs.

This game was not lost due to coaching.

Not really sure why you’d place this game on them.

I just can’t imagine how good this team could be with a legit QB. Add a #1 WR, we could be damn good.

Oh, and putting Eric Wright in the slot indefinitely.

Not even the slot.

We don’t really have a choice right now.

Hell, I’ll take Adams over him.

Pretty sure he wouldn’t like quite the bitch he did today covering the #3 receiver.

This.

We need a QB. We’re not going to be a good team until we have one.
