Hugely Irked at Jauron for not sending anybody up the middle on blitzes with hated hobbled Qb who can't move. Step on his neck opportunity missed!

Shurmer will get(from me) until 8 games into next year before I judge him but this year is a fking disaster, imo

Some Steeler puke friends of mine asked why we never blitzed the whole game (more than 4). I couldnt find answer for them.

I blame neither, instead I blame Dick's flaccid 4 man rush defense and our receivers' inability to catch.
If Wallace had come in and lit it up, we'd have a qb controversyon our hands.

Concussion testing on the sideline is hardly an exact science. Even in a hospital setting determining if a person has a concussion is iffy at best. It's even more difficult on a sideliine/game on the line situation. They should have errored on the side of caution though and gone with Wallace who they KNOW had a clear head..However, I do not place blame on anyone for a misdiagnonsis.. it's not an easy thing to diagnose. This game is more than just a play or two plays in calculating a win or loss. We gave this game away 20 times during the game. Good teams loaded up with veteran players (like Pitts, Packers etc) just know how to win, even when they play badly. Bad teams with inexperience, just don't know how to win yet. We have proven that over and over this year. It's not on the medical team, it's not on Shurmer, not McCoy, it's on the Browns as a whole.

That was Turkey jones time....!! We didn't send anyone...the guy is inept when it comes to attacking! He is a good coach otherwise...but I want a "killer" as a D coordin8er! Whiff....

Pitts has arguably the 2nd or 3rd best WR corps in the league.. PigBen even gimpy would eat us alive if we blitzed him often. Our intept offense was the reason we lost this game. Wr's who cannot catch or run routes, or even run the ball effectively. offensive lineman that can't block or pick up blitzes. We held Pitts to 14 points.. FOURTEEN.. That's great.. We put THEE on the board.. the D is not to blame.

Wallace just completes a nice pass to get the Browns in the Red Zone, and then Turdmur trots out his starting qb who couldn't even remember anything after the hit, to toss an underthrown duck in the end zone.

Dear Mr. Holmgren, you have "your" guy running "your" WCO to the tune of 30th in the league. If "you're all on the same page" it needs to be turned.

Not only that , but Colt throws an underthrown jump ball to the one guy on the team I have NO CONFIDENCE that he'd go up and fight for it.

I haven't even had the interest to go back and look. But was Moore in the game then?

I blame all three of them.
