  Wow that's just god awful coaching.
• ts1227

  

  We get into the red zone and turn into "set up the FG mode" even in the 2 minutes, lol

  Terrible playcalling...Jesus
• iclfan2

  

  haha yea wtf are they doing?? Haden is a moron and this team looks disgusting with Skrine missing tackles and playing 15 yards off all of the receivers. Hagg has played horribly too. Oh well, at least Weeden and TRich looked very good today.
• IggyPride00

  

  Inside the 15 like that with the clock running down every throw needs to be into the end zone. No excuse for throwing short with under a minute left and no timeouts.

  Lol...Shurmur...you are a fucking idiot. Can't wait till you get canned
• Midstate01

  

  Good game, good effort
• OQB

  

  Offense played much better this week.
  
  Haden gave the defense a big middle finger and wanted to have fun in Vegas
  
  Shurmur now 0-7 against AFC North.

  May have been mentioned but if you would've told me the Browns would have a QB throw for 300+ yards, a RB go for 100+ yards & 2 TD's and an offense score 27 points I would've put my money on Cleveland. Secondary totally sucked balls today.

  Seriously. This team doesn't respect him, the fans know he is getting fired, the players know he is getting fired, and he probably knows.
  
  We finally have a few players with the physical tools to do good things, and the sooner we can get someone coaching them who knows what they are doing the better.

  Is Jabaal Sheard playing this year?
• OQB

  

  Let's not forget that punt return for a td....take that away we might be going for the win that last drive.

  You can point at all the plays all you want that could've turned around the game, fact of the matter is that shit is on coaching.
  
  As I've said before there are 5-7 plays you can look back at in a football game that decides the game. The Browns simply don't make those plays. Shurmur is not inspiring at all.

  I would love to watch tape of shurmurs pregame and halftime speeches. It would be a great laugh.

  Most encouraging thing about Weeden for me today was not the numbers and such, but that after playing one of the worst games in NFL history last week he came out today in only his 2nd NFL game and looked like a legitimate, viable starting NFL quarterback. He didn't let himself get down because of last week, but shook it off and played about as well as anyone can reasonably expect.
  
  He had a few bad throws to start the game and it could have easily gone the other way, but he held it together and played a really solid game making some big time NFL throws along the way. There was a ton there to be encouraged about going forward.

  Should be interesting to see how the defense does against Spiller next week. He's been a boss to start out the season.

  Not real thrilled with the Bengals D so far...but I'll take the W

  A lot of injuries. Missing Dunlap hurts them. No reason the Browns' offense should score that many points on any defense let alone a returning top 5 defense.
• gerb131

  

  Missing Dre even though he is a rookie is pretty big.
• Rotinaj

  

  Awesome performance by the D today. Good stuff!! Progress!!!!!!!!!
• se-alum

  

  I will gladly eat my crow about the offense, but I was right about the defense....bad.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Bengals secondary is beyond bad. That was freaking pitiful. Weeden played well, but missed tackles, bad coverages, just awful.
  
  Richardson has serious potential(I know, no shit) and impressed me today.
  
  Dalton played really well minus the interception. Was really glad to see him step up today.

  Told ya the offense would be better and the defense is NOWHERE as good as they played last week (takeaways). And where was last weeks' pass rush?
