steel88 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Mangini fires up the troops: Cribbs said coach Eric Mangini's impassioned pregame speech got the players amped up. "He came to us and said, 'They're dogging us in the media, they got us ranked last in the league -- I don't care about none of that. I ain't hungry. I'm starving. Go out there and be smart, but just hit someone.' He inspired a lot of guys, and that did it for us." http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/..._his_focus.html This bodes very well for us.

Guest ATENEARS Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 And then we lost. No dude, and then YOU lost. Yesterdays game was entertaining. I felt and heard the pulse of the fans as they streamed out of Cleveland Browns Stadium yesterday, stating that all they wanted at this point was a competitive game and to be in the game until the end. Baby-steps for a once proud franchise, but certainly reality in week #4. The place wasn't packed as the club seats were only about 70% full, most other sections though were filled and all stayed until the end (or until Palmer broke the long run in over-time). We got our monies worth yesterday, unlike week #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gips Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I finally saw the guy i was expecting all along in mangini yesterday i also saw an awesome DC developing in ryan a potential head coach as well...but i see a loser who is horrible at playcalling in critical situations and just overall to conservative in daboll...and we will continue to struggle until he is either fired or figures out that SAFE PLAY IS NOT SAFE against the bungals late in the game! I expect more gutz and ballz playcalling win or lose by it... not this late game chicken scratch crap...daboll aint no chud and that isnt saying much..

Progress perhaps but still bad playcalling what we were seeing is DA executing despite some rotten playcalling...but at least daboll mans up to it and admits he sucks..i think mangini/daboll need to reinvent the scheme to be somewhat more creative so we quit getting into 3rd and 8 situations to begin with...this regime needs to figure out that when the game is close and the stakes are high going ultra conservative is not always the solution especially against the bengals...

Sorry Vegas, but I have drank enough Kool-aid over the last 9 years. I am off the stuff. After watching the last 3 games, I saw a football team that played hard - and I think it spoke of their coach. Now I want to see it the rest of the season, with maybe a bump here and there. Not the other way around. Would you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I want to see it the rest of the season, with maybe a bump here and there. Not the other way around. Would you agree? I'd agree, to an extent. Like you said, we have to see the rest of the season. But right now, there have been 4 bumps in the road. What I need to see is some smooth road here and there, not the other way around. We have seen these little coach speeches fire up the team before, still result in a loss, and it result in nothing short or long term. I have had all the moral victories I can stomach at this point. 0-4 is 0-4 no matter how we want to doll it up this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ATENEARS Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hey Stan, would you feel the same way if The Mighty Quinn played QB?

Fool me twice, three times, 4 times, shame on me I have to strongly agree with Masters. While progress definitely was made (and it was VERY entertaining), how many times have we seen this in the past. One good game will not win championships. Consistency will. We need a team that brings the same quality play (like yesterday) every week. Not this once every 5 weeks stuff we've seen for the last umpteen years.

Up in the tool bar next to bold, indent, and underline is "aA" drop down menu. Highlight what you want and select Strike Through. Year in and year out of these moral victories, little pep talk speeches, etc., yet the results are continually the same after them. Loses and losing seasons. Let's just say over the last 9 years the Browns organization has drank and spilled all that was left in my glass. I was ready to be half-ful as with every season, but starting off the season as bad as the expansion year ended that. They need to start filling the glass again before I will get duped into thinking its half full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I love your winning mentality, we are talking about the Cleveland Browns right? Not your local pee-wee football team that you watch every saturday moring. Why dont we try and win a game first. And then we can talk about back to back wins and then we can talk about playoffs and then we can talk about playoffs every year and the we can talk about going to the super bowl. We are at being competitive in the NFL first. And if you thought we were going to win a championship before this season then I see why your guys hopes are all shot to hell. Until then I will get excited about our over 100 rusher that got good playing time and the 150 yard rookie WR and a QB that can actually move the ball and pick up first downs and get touchdowns and the D that did a way better job because they were not on the field for 59 minutes and 32 seconds and the fun of being in the game in the 4th quarter instead of staring at the T.V with this are you kidding me look while getting blown out and nothing to play for.

If it makes you feel any better I was born in 1982 and dont REALLY dont remember the the drive and the fumble. So I have never really expierenced a good team. Maybe a couple years in there 90's or something like that they were ok. And I still try and look at the glass half full. Its like when you tell yourself your sick when you dont fell well then you will probably feel like shit. I see my son and when he throws up and you know he doesnt fell well but he doesnt know any better and he still is jumping around and playing like nothing happend. If that makes sense. Thats what I think the problem is with our fans. Look at the positives and build on it. Our fans dont give our players, coach and team a chance. Just saying. Oh and Quinn sucks thanks for teaching me that again. One day I will learn how to put a picture on here. Cause the copy and paste thing would be just to easy.

ChiefOrangeblood Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Its a fact that Lerner forced Mangini to start Quinn. It was a forgone conclusion before the season even started. Hell, Romeo told us in week 12 of last year that Quinn would be the starter for 2009, and he knew he wouldnt be here to make that call. Mangini did what the guy signing the checks told him to do. He gave Quinn his chance like Lerner wanted. This team didnt become Manginis until the Bengals game when Mangini could play his own line-up. As far as Im concerned Mangini is 0-1 as our coach. Lerner however is 0-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
