1st drive of the browns. touchdown. 1st drive for the ravens. intercepted. wow.

[ragnorok99]

wow.

[BrownsFan]

Ok I lied it's on local tv here so I can watch it at work!

So far so good! But it is stil learly I will admit.

[BrownsFan]

Now that is one thing you do not see every day.. Stover missing a FG. I didn't see how long it was can anyone tell me out of curiousity?

[BrownsFan]

.. and that is the one thing I cannot stand about Derek Anderson. He can make some awesome throws but he makes some REALLY stupid ones into triple coverage!

[saved72907]

I personally hated to see Anderson go myself. He'd have been a great backup QB. Anyway I somehow knew he'd have early success against us. I wonder how long Billick will wait to put Boller into this game so he can try and win it for us.

I still can't believe that they don't try pounding Jamal at us with a 2 td lead. 4 carries going into the 2nd quarter? WOW.

Maybe I spoke too soon.

[BrownsFan]

Maybe CHUD will figure it out though and do that. My biggest beef so far with the offense is NOT ENOUGH COMMITMENT to the run!

[BrownsFan]

So be honest with me folks I didn't see it, did he get the flag out in time? I'm assuming that's what the whole argument is about.

[Stover4Prez]

PUT KYLE IN!!! Steve is old, hurt, and NOT good. We could use a sub for Billick too!

[Stover4Prez]

Two touchdown passes by Steve that had NO chance of being caught!

[CharmCitysKing69]

man they need to get rid of mcnair...he's a washed up bum or atleast get him 100% healthy which proly wont mean **** cuz he cant throw worth of crap what the heck man....this is sad to see my team loosing to these bumb 24-6 w/ good old jamal running all over our D, when we got rid of him last year for the same reason what mcgahee is doing...RUNNING INTO THE LINE CLUSTER...what the heck this is b.s man what the heck

[BrownsFan]

My observations so far:

1.) Our offensive line so far is playing GREAT. 0 sacks so far and for the season it makes 2 for Anderson in 13 quarters.

2.) I really never noticed this but I've read many comments on here from you all and I have to agree about McNair. He's had a wonderful career but I really do think that his time has just simply passed him. His throws are not on target and he could of stuck one of those 2 endzone passes in there for TDs. Question is, is Boller really the answer though?

3.) With the exception of two decent run plays, your run defense is playing very well overall.

So far so good! Still a half to go though.

I couldnt agree more I've been saying the same thing since the first game. Also, why the hell are we throwing it everytime in the redzone this yr instead of running mcgahee. He's having a great game so far why the hell would we throw it when EVERYONE knows we suck at passing. Billick's play calling is horrible. Pissed off!

[CharmCitysKing69]

yea mcnair is washed up they need to put in troy brown

[Stover4Prez]

Kyle has played well the times we have put him in this year. He has stuck with the team, WANTS to play. WANTS to do well and deserves a chance this year. So far he is not a play maker, but he is also not a play breaker! He doesn't make stupid mistakes like Steve is this season. Reminds me a little of Dilfer.

[BrownsFan]

I think that's the most important like that you mentioned... not necessarily a playmaker but not a *breaker* either. Good point.

[Stover4Prez]

No big deal Steve. We are wearing white today, not brown. And why are we making a 5 yard pass when we need 20 for a first on third down!! I can barely take it anymore.

[CharmCitysKing69]

Please do something about this old washed up bum (Billick),,and NO Boller isn't he answer, its Troy Smith...Troy smith is our Rookie secret weapon...How long has our Offense sucked? for about what? 6 years now? Why do we have such a bad line? i mean they cant open up any holes for the big run...i mean we spend all this money on mcgahee, they put in musa smith most of the time (cuz hes better) then when he does run the ball he does exactly what Jamal did last year, just stutter step run right into the cluster of linemen and not get anywhere... its kinda funny how i realize this when jamal lewis is doing 10x better this year...its like hes something different..u know why? #1 Billick ain't calling the plays, #2 He don't have half as bad o-line as ours...its sad man we need to get something what the heck...I think we should just instead of focusing on getting TD's just get FG's because thats all we ever can get, our Red Zone scoring is Horrible. WE SUCK!!!!! AHHH IM SO MADD BILLDICK U SUCK MAN

[itlstl7]

Once again we ruin a great drive by trying to pass with Mcnair... Billick is a ****... when do we not use mcgahee when he is the one who got us down the field!! If we can't score in these situations we seriously have to wonder about the postseason... cause right now we dont deserve to make it to the playoffs

[shellygirl]

I am still learning, but is it really practical to continue to attempt field goals instead of trying to score a touch down? It seems that it would be worth the extra time and effort to go for the touch down.

[CharmCitysKing69]

OH YEA NOT TO MENTION OR INFAMOUS PENALTY'S WE GET...HOW MANY WE HAVE SO FAR? 24?

[BrownsFan]

Going for the FG is fine there IMO. You'd be down 24-9 which is two scores with a wealth of time left. The problem is Stover has missed two and your "D" just cannot stop us right now it seems. Except on goal line situations where we try to run Lewis up the middle with 10 guys there LOL.
