I don't want him fired, but I'm aggravated about all these damn penalties. Yeah, some of them (today) are BS, but we do know when Greg Williams came in, the penalties were few and far between. Pre snap penalties all season. I don't get it.

We didn't endorse charging people $4 for a cup of coffee. Go away.

Yes, something isn't right. Greg Williams reduced the penalties significantly after Hue got canned. I assume there was some kind of accountability mandate enforced. Granted, like today, some of these penalties are pure BS, but the pre-snap penalties are absolutely killing the team. Now, we get to go to a house of horrors, Denver. Yikes.

Well the Pats have only allowed 48 points in 7 games, unreal. We've had roughly 10 days to fix the offensive woes. Go Browns, somehow.

You had to figure the Ratbirds and Steelers wouldn't "go away." I don't like Jackson, but he's a waterbug playing QB. Simply difficult to corral. You've got to get ahead by a couple scores by the 3rd Q to make them throw, and exploit his "weakness." Jackson is only going to get better, so the Browns have to step it up. Let's hope the Browns coaching staff did some soul-searching and serious adjusting over the BYE. Otherwise this forum is going to be littered with endless draft talk like in years past.

Hate to say it, but I went with 8-8 and I hope I'm wrong. I have a bad feeling about the next 2 games, both NE & Denver are houses of horror for the Browns, historically speaking. Now if the Browns implement a better protection scheme, like using one of their TEs as a FB, maybe, just maybe they'll be ok. There were signs of hop ein the Seattle game that the offense was clicking, but I still think the one-back set is a bad idea with an average pass blocking O-line.

Can't trade any more assets for a 31 year old LT who hasn't played in a year. Ride this season out with what you have. They have two weeks to address what they feel are weaknesses.

Yeah something isn't right. I see players ripping their helmets off all the time, but only once it was penalized (Browns). 1-800-HELP-USS

I tried to convince myself with your logic, well-reasoned writings many many times. After last seasons hosings in New Orleans and Oakland, and now on Sunday, I am convinced there's a memo signed by Paul Tagliabue in the league office...." Give Cleveland their name and colors, a franchise back, and nothing else until 2059."

Yeah, total BS for sure. Maybe the Lions get another apology letter...they got screwed vs the Chiefs by officiating a couple weeks ago. Why is it that Green Bay, Denver, New England and Pittsburgh get "opportune calls" while Cle, Detroit, and Oakland get jobbed every season? Refs gave GB the game. I'm not a Lions fan but it pissed me off so bad I had trouble getting to sleep. It's getting old NFL.

Today sucked big time. OBJ still dropping passes. Defense still getting duped. Browns looked like the better team yet lost. 0-3 at home. Horrible.

Let's see- our team has been absolutely atrocious since 2008, goes 1-31 in a two year span, then goes 7-8-1. That's the story, and it's a good NFL story. For the first time in a long long time, there is hope here. The national media spotlighted it, it didn't originate from Cleveland. Quit stirring the pot.

I've always said that surviving the 1st quarter is the main obstacle for a road game. So far, so good for the Browns this season. Keep that up and we can get the W. I've been impressed with Wilks' D game plans. Plus, he knows the 9ers fairly well. Nothing is easy for Cle ever. I see a close one, I think we take it and move to 3-0 on the road.

I'm done. LA Rams sent me home. Only 4 weeks this year, ouch.

I'm concerned with the amount of penalties the Browns commit. It's one thing to get beat, but the Browns get in their own way constantly. Regarding the Ratbirds, it's going to be tough but they can steal the game. I don't think the secondary in Baltimore is s strong suit for them. I'd dink & dunk down the field if I was Freddy.

This is a game the Browns have to win. Don't screw it up or the endless draft talk is going to start early.

It needs to be done. Damn what a huge disappointment. Probably the most deflating opener I can remember since the Chargers killed us on a Monday night in 1981.

Calls his GM a "cracker" and gets paid a $9 million signing bonus. Hate to get racial, but my goodness, imagine if Mayock called AB a "N*****?" He'd be out of football forever. Besides that, you've got to wonder if this whole thing was orchestrated by AB and Rosenhaus.

He signs with New England, and they gave him $9 million as a signing bonus. Damn near an NBA move by AB.

We sure hope so. Not much, if any mini camp work, no preseason action. So how does one aggravate a hip without action? I hope like hell this is a smokescreen.

Agree. We watched the Browns beat the Ratbirds last year at our campsite in southern Illinois. People thought we were crazy, they just don't understand... We always take our RV south, end up in Texas visiting family in Sept/Oct. Cooler temps, less crowds.

My son and I will be tailgating near there, I'll drop by and say hello.
