Title: football vent
Post by: slabslayer on October 18, 2015, 05:10:43 PM
OK. Here we go. Having watched the Browns this year am I the only one who thinks Pettine needs to go? Going for 2, REALLY!!!! ??? Also what's up with his determination to go with McCown? The guys been a loser everywhere he's gone. He's an OK backup and that's it, he's old and obviously not the future of the team. He had one good game all year but Pettine thinks the guy is Aaron Rodgers to hear him talk. They used a high pick on Manziel, put him in. Johnny is obviously immature and has a lot of growing up to do yet, but let's see what we have. Maybe a wasted pick, maybe not. But McCown and Pettine are taking our team nowhere! This is where ownership also needs to step in and quit hiring the first no name coach that interviews for the job. We have decent players and McCown and Pettine handed the game to Denver. A pick and 2 sacks in Denver territory on their last 2 drives, both with opportunities to win the game. INEXCUSABLE! Last year is proof that Pettine is HORRIBLE!!! Mack gets hurt and the season is done. He was calling line schemes, Pettine is clueless and so is the statue named McCown.
Am I crazy?? As a Browns fan, losing is nothing new, but why lose with a loser? Let's see what we have player wise, and find a coach that understands football.
At least my Buckeyes and Vikings won!

It's OK buddy. Just wise up and come be a Bengals fan with us southern oh guys and you will feel much better on Sundays. JK I know you browns fans are hardcore. But in all seriousness you guys are never going to be competitive until you have a solid steady o line. It's where teams are made. And yeah your coach and qb are worthless.but smile....it's almost ice season

I agree with your last line 30, it's almost ice season so I won't have to watch football. I agree with you slab, Pettine and McCown are not who we need. Really liked McCown's pick in the 4th quarter, couldn't even throw it out of bounds standing in the middle of the field. Good thing I am used to the Browns playing so badly. At least this year they are keeping the games close. Come on ice.

Now, now slab, losing almost all games is part o being a Browns fan. Don't be one f thos e other NFL teams in Ohio that millions of fans during a good season and none during the off years. Us Browns fans stick with the team, win or loose.
It could be worse, I am a blue jackets hockey fan and they have not won or even tied a game yet this season. They are the worst team in the NHL right now with zero points in the standings.
At least the Buckeyes are winning. That maize and blue team from the north lost too.
If the Browns made it to the playoffs, you would have to sacrifice some ice time to see the games, so maybe you did pick the right team!

Now, now toadfish. .. not all of us Bengals fans abandon them when they suck. But it is amazing the amount of Bengals gear I see on people the last few years.lol. And until we actually win a playoff game I'm not gonna get too excited. But it seems we all can at least agree on 3 things... ice can't get here fast enough, we like the buckeyes, and f*** Michigan!!!

I stand by what I said about Pettine and McCown. Both losers! Why hasn't Bowe been in at all? Paid $9 million for him and Pettine refuses to put him in. This coach really needs to go. He's holding this team back because his pettiness and stubbornness. He's lost 10 of the last 12 and the team is regressing. TIME TO GO MIKE! !

Amen to that slab. Good thing McClown is hurt again. To bad Manzel will get to play again. Now if Pettine would get hurt so he would have to miss a few games, maybe we could get a few wins.

Well slab your browns are playing my Bengals tonight. My undefeated Bengals that is. Maybe manziel will at least make it a game. Then again I'd like to go to bed by halftime so...
Title: Re: football vent
Post by: slabslayer on November 05, 2015, 06:44:02 PM
I'm not holding out much hope. We'll see how it goes. Hope I'm wrong, but if it's a close game that involves a final drive or time management the Browns have no chance.
Title: Re: football vent
Post by: toadfish on November 05, 2015, 09:12:07 PM
Score right now is 3-7 Bengals and Browns are punting. My prediction is the Browns will go 2-14 this season, Johnnie or McGown at the helm won't matter much. Blue jackets are at the bottom too.

Glad I went to bed at the half. Only thing any good now is the Cavs. Thought the Browns were starting to make improvements last year, guess not. They have some talent, but need a coach who knows how to utilize it and a decent qb.

I watched the whole game and Manziel looked good in the first half. But as good teams do they didn't make adjustments for the second half. I've been a Bengals fan for many years and the wife dressed as one for work last week. She wore my big daddy jersey, older people will remember him. I agree there entire coaching staff needs to leave to make the brownies better.

He did look good. You've hit on it. They play one good half a game. Very frustrating to see every week. Just seems like they're going backwards. I just wish they would've given Chud a chance. They didn't have a good record his only year, but you could see on field progress. Now it seems they're losing what progress they made.

Glad I had to work so I didn't have to be disappointed again. Heard there were no turnovers so that is a plus. Seems they can play 3 good quarters but really loose it in the 4 th. Same old story, just a different year.

Hey Slab:
I GUARANTEE BROWNS WON'T LOSE THIS SUNDAY, NOV 22, 2015!!!
BYE WEEK!!
Title: Re: football vent
Post by: slabslayer on November 20, 2015, 11:29:33 AM
Yep! And they've finally started Manziel for the rest of the year. Hopefully it'll be enough time to see if he's going to be a stud or a dud.

Well, I mean, thats the Browns, right? At least you still have the Cavs, Buckeyes and Bengals. Heck, even the Blue Jackets are starting to turn it around. The Browns are the Browns. I feel your pain but until they make some major changes to the ownership and management of that team, I dont see it changing.
Title: Re: football vent
Post by: toadfish on November 20, 2015, 05:53:28 PM
Bluejackets got shut out by Ottawa last night, so business as usual.
Browns won't get another win this season unless it is a fluke, like me catching a fish through the ice.

At least my other favorite NFL team is sitting at 7-2. Few thought the Vikings would be good this year, but a win at home vs the Pack this weekend would leave them sitting pretty with 6 games left.

Its going to be an interesting game. I expect the Vikings will probably win but when these 2 teams play theres no love lost, so anything could happen.

Ok it's my turn. After my Bengals lost monday night in a game they were absolutely capable of winning, now the buckeyes go down. MSU played us well but that was the worst play calling I've seen since Meyer took over. Elliot gets 12 carries? FU**ING REALLY??? I dont get it. Think my dog may have ptsd from me yelling at the tv. Oh well... bring on the ice.

Post by: z400wolverine on November 21, 2015, 09:05:44 PM
ya I hear ya,Elliot not carrying the ball! I am born and raised Michigan,our crazie loss to them is even more crucial now!Funny thing is our employees our company divided on Steelers-Browns(Lions fan here),so told them if Steelers win,both Michigan teams win,lol Hey Slab,you going to have those footers poured for us in Beldon?

Yep. Starting to dig and pour on Tuesday. Have big job in Dover Monday then we'll be in Belden till its done.

Well, the Packers/Vikings game was certainly fun. I never get tired of hearing the, "GO PACK GO" chant in Minnesota. ;D
Title: Re: football vent
Post by: slabslayer on November 23, 2015, 05:59:31 AM
Yep. The play calling and officiating was about the same as it was in the Ohio State game. I shut both off at half time because I could tell the outcome. Totally done with football now, ready for ice!

Yeah, Browns can toss Farmer along with Pettine. Even after the loss, Buckeyes are still the best pro team in Ohio. GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aint that the truth. Its going to be interesting to see what happens against Michigan. Theres was a lot of pouting and finger pointing after that loss, it will be interesting to see if they feel that they have nothing left to play for or if they lick their wounds, move on and play for pride. Due to the fact that the MSU/PSU game isnt until after the OSU/Michigan game, they wont know until Sat night if they are playing for a spot in the B1G championship game or if they are playing for a better bowl game.
