Browns149 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 We were starting the most hyped rookie QB since Peyton Manning. We win the toss and defer???????? Once the bungles went 80 yards in 7 minutes, the crowd was DONE, I told my buddy, that the Browns were in trouble. Then they came out and went 3-and-out. The game was OVER at that point. YOU WIN THE TOSS.....................TAKE THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Browns 1st 4 drives went 3 plays, punt. 3 plays, punt. 3 plays INT, and then 3 plays punt bungles went 14 plays TD, 9 plays FG, 5 plays TD, 4 plays FG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I guess you could argue either way... I personally prefer to set the tone on defense first. And games aren't over after the first drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manzier Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 but thats the first time thats happened. The team likes to open with their strength, which usually works out. It didnt "this week" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 And after we defer, so we can get the ball 1st in the second half in the 2nd half we go 3 plays punt, 3 plays punt, 6 plays punt and then the OBVIOUS, 3 plays punt AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BaconHound Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I guess you could argue either way... I personally prefer to set the tone on defense first. And games aren't over after the first drive. Based on the defensive effort against Indy I would've done the same thing. If the D played suspect vs. Indy and the offense hung 42 on 'em I'd take the ball. I think it should be week to week depending on who's playing better and home vs. road.

Browns149 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 There is a show on NFL network that is about the "TURNING POINT" of each game. Ours was the coin toss. we won it and said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" we don't want the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours was the coin toss. we won it and said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" we don't want the ball While I understand what you are saying, you open with your best side. I'm guessing you don't think our offense is better than our defense, especially not after last week. Plenty to complain about after this game, but this doesn't seem like one of our biggest problems.

I think going down the field and scoring is way more important then stopping the other team from doing the same thing It was proven today. They rolled us on the 1st drive and we NEVER recovered.

Our defense is our strong suit, you start with the D and get the stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who said our defense was the best part of the team? they gave up 244 yards rushing. You win the coin toss...........................

If you don't think the defense is the best part of this team you are either 1. lying 2. A moron Yes, the D sucked today, and has sucked at many times all year. But right now, and particularly before this game, it is better than our offense. (Which isn't hard to do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownsFever Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 ^ I completely agree. Football is a game of momentum. It is a proven fact that the team that scores first has a 5 percent edge of winning the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns149 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 we have Johnny starting his 1st game. We win the coin toss, and we defer???????????? Johnny doesn't touch the ball until it's 7-0 and he has sat on the sidelines for 30 minutes of real time.......... That's bad coaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WinstonLegthigh Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 In Madden, you always defer. OK but seriously, is your logic that JF and the offense sucked because they had to wait 30 mins to get on the field? Come on dude, we fucking sucked all day, magically had we gotten the ball 30 mins prior we would have lit it up? Please stop already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on dude, we fucking sucked all day, magically had we gotten the ball 30 mins prior we would have lit it up? Please stop already My logic is, it is WAY EASIER to set the tempo on offense, then it is on defense. If you give up the ball and the offense goes 3-and-out to start the game, WHO CARES?????? they will get the ball 10 more times If you TAKE the ball and go 80 yards for a TD, that might happen 1 more time ALL game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
