• imneverwrong

  That was helmet to helmet, no flag, but Brown gets hurt.

  no pressure

  Browns defense has played GREAT on downs 1 & 2... 3rd down has been a serious problem.. Have to get off the damn field.

  Wide open

  Roddddddddddddddy White
  
  About time you take a shot down field
• hoops23

  

  And that's what happens when you continually let teams convert on 3rd down.
• dazedconfused

  

  yep, only a matter of time before the big pass play happened
• imneverwrong

  Nice pass, great catch, Brown got outran it looked like he thought he had inside Safety help. Wasn't terrible coverage but he got burnt fromt he get go.
• Hb31187

  

  Yeah im not sure what brown was doing, He shaded him inside and looked like he just let him run right by

  Coulda seen taht comin for Roddy. Gonna be tough to make this comeback with Delhomme back there..

  I don't think our 3rd down D has been terrible or they wouldn't have FG's correct? They would have TD's.
  
  Rob Ryan loves to send way to many blitzers to try to get pressure when we can't. How many long TD's does it take to realize that we can't go straight man to man on top WR's in the league (see Anquan Boldin / TO / now Roddy White). If a safety was supposed to be there I have no idea what they were looking at on that play.

  I think the Browns are fine. Got to ride the Hillis train. Get him going, Playaction easy passes. Wouldn't be surprised to see more Flash Package.

  Can't wait to see this replay. Someone is chippy. No flags but somehow Cribbs doesn't have a helmet on. 2nd time we have seen that today with the guys getting into it.

  CRIPPLE FIGHT!

  That's just inside the redzone bro.. How do you think the Falcons have gotten into the redzone? That's right! 3rd down conversions. In fact, Atlanta has converted 5 3rd downs, compared to only 2 for Cleveland.
  
  That's the difference so far.
  
  Just as ATL's last drive, if you stop them on that 3rd down, you don't give up the ensuing TD pass.

  Replay shows Quarter coverage. Safety blew it. ELAM IS TERRIBLE.

  Correct, I agree, but they have stopped them the Redzone which is why they are in the game. I think Rob Ryan is average and takes entirely too many risks.
• hoops23

  

  Rob Ryan is the reason this average group of guys has played above their talent level thus far in the season. The Browns only truly have a few playmakers on defense, and a couple of them are just rookies.
• imneverwrong

  Nice sidearm pass Delhomme. He looks like he probably should not be in the game
• KR1245

  He can barely move, Browns dont have much of a choice

  Maybe so but I disagree, I don't think he is terrible I just think that he takes entirely too many risks (like blitzing 8) with this average group. But besides that the D has played well, I just think the risks have killed us.
• KR1245

  

  damnit..........he had him
• imneverwrong

  Jake just about told us all to suck it!
• dazedconfused

  

  jake, you gotta make that throw
• imneverwrong

  FLAG YES
