Buffalo Bills @ Cleveland Browns. 1 p.m. Cleveland Browns Stadium. Game Thread.

    Alot of this is on Holmgren. He created an atmosphere that never had any accountability to any of the staff, and this is the result. There was no sense of urgency, because they knew Mike had the keys to the kingdom and no one would ever be fired as long as they were a Bob Lamonte client.

    Shurmur should never have been allowed back this year, as he showed nothing last year to make anyone think another year was going to make a difference.

    Now he is dead man walking and we are barreling toward a 2-14 season where everyone goes at the end of it.

    Haslam just better have a plan that does not resemble Holmgren's "let's be arrogant and pretend we're smarter than the rest of the league" approach. I can't take much more of the incompetence without consequences style we've been subjected to.

    You can't ban someone from a thread for posting a picture of the stadium. It annoys the hell out of me too, but fact is, he doesn't break any of the rules. There is nothing wrong with posting a stadium picture. There is nothing wrong with asking how the Browns aren't winning the game. Would I thread ban him? In a heartbeat. But obviously those with the power feel they have no reason to. I see both sides of it.

    You said he was trolling the thread.... Isn't that enough to ban him from it? I thought thats what thread bans were for?

    Yes, but thats my opinion. Obviously others don't feel that he is.

    How can you tell the difference? Its the INTERNET. If you guys posted "The Browns should join the B1G." it would be a joke. If I posted the same thing, it would be trolling. Its a matter of opinion. BTW, Cowboys and Lolphins stadiums were WAY more empty than that picture today.

    Who gives a shit about not having the actual rule?! The guy is a troll...how about a "we don't want people leaving our website because of trolls, so we're going to ban him." rule?

    Just fucking make up something...this isn't the federal reserve, everything doesn't have to be done 100% by the rules already in place. You catch someone trolling, you ban them from the thread.

    Because of his past posting history, that's how you can tell.

    BTW, did you watch the game? Browns Stadium wasn't empty at all.

    OK? I can't do anything about it.

    I posted a picture of the stadium before kickoff? Not sure why all of the outrage.

    And just like like_that predicted, here you come with the "who me??" post.

    Obviously I am going to defend myself. He really didn't go out on a limb.

    GoChiefs already said you are trolling. Everyone can see through your bullshit act. Just STFU and fuck off. Funny how you claimed that I ran amok in bengals threads. What a joke.

    Past posting history is all opinion. Otherwise sleeper would have been long gone and others too. As soon as the mods let Durkie out of the basement he called other posters derogatory names. I quoted it and asked about it instead of reporting it (because who knows if anything ever gets done about a reported post. Ha.) A little while later, his post and my quote of it were deleted. Its funny how such a small group of small minded people get upset when someone else does unto them as they do. Maybe a certain circle of friends should ask for private threads from Justin so they can enjoy themselves with themselves.


    ...and no I didn't watch much of the Browns game today, only saw the second half of all games surfing the channels.

    Mods are too concerned with actual arguments amongst Browns fans than actual Browns trolls...such a shame

    Who is ready for the Ratbirds on Thursday?

    Our only nationally televised game of the year.

    can we forfeit ahead of time and rest up for the giants?

    Probably the same people you claimed were so excited for this season to start (aka nobody).

    An 0-5 start is looking pretty likely at this point.

    After that the season could well spin out of control as the team knows major upheaval is coming.

    There has to actually be control for something to spiral/spin out of.

    Little patty boy never had such a thing.

    I doubt the Browns will. If the current trend continues, the Rats may be going into that game riding a 2 game losing streak. They'll be a tad pissed.

    Yeah, coming off a 2 game losing streak the chances of catching them looking ahead will be nil.

    Something tells me Ed Reed and the murderer might give Weeden/Richardson their own personal baptisms before the night is out.

    does anybody know why pat shurmur punted with 6 minutes to go in the 4th being down by ten? but i think we get murdered on national television. i am not looking forward to it. smh.
  • wes_mantooth
    Just got back from the game...and man, that was an all around team effort.

    Offensive line sucked balls.
    Weeden was garbage.
    Defense must have Stevie Johnson on their fantasy teams...he was wide open the whole game....even when they didnt throw to him.
    Wide Receivers cannot bail out Weeden when he throws it a little behind them or low...whatever.

    And most of all.....Pat Shurmur the clock is ticking...it is almost time for you to GTFO

    The same reason he burned timeouts to have time on the clock before the 1st have expired, only to run the ball when they got possession. Its Pat Shurmur.
