We have to beat the browns next week. We need pittsburgh to beat cincy. 

Bench Harrison put in Holmes. Go colts!

Harrison has looked good the problem to me is guys like Reitz and Cherilus, but after a sloppy start they got better as the game went on.

.......... Put in the guy who's been inactive all year except today?

What?

[Moopsiepuffs]

Vontae is the biggest concern. 

 

The defense fell apart without him in Pittsburgh and it happened again today. Could be an issue facing Gordy next week, although if Johnny Football is playing it shouldn't really matter.

[runthepost]

Gordan is going to kill us

[Franklin County]

If we have no defense at all I still like our O to score more than them.

[RockThatBlue]

I just hope Davis will be playing. Lord knows Gordon may have 100 or more yards on us if he doesn't play

You guys really gotta stop shrugging off teams. We have no film on Johnny. He's a wild card. Stop taking it for granted. He could easily have a career day or stink it up.

But just automatically assuming he won't get the job done is a stretch. We're no dominant team

Never thought a CB could make a defense go from first to worst

Vontae goes down, Jackson starts eating

Gordy's best play was injuring Jackson today and even then he didn't mean to do that. Dropped the pick in the end zone, and was eaten for lunch today.

Purifoy has gotta come back. I understand he broke the rules, but Gordy is horrible

[Ja'Crispy]

Wonder if we will see Hoyer or Manziel.

Not gonna happen. Purifoy is now a seahawk

[TKnight24]

Not gonna happen. Purifoy is now a seahawk

...... Really starting to hate Seattle

[1959Colts]

At least Cleveland's defense has stunk.

[RockThatBlue]

Wonder if we will see Hoyer or Manziel.

They will decide by Wednesday is what I heard.

I'm guessing Hoyer starts, but JFF will get some snaps

No way Hoyer starts. He's been terrible several games now. The Cleveland fans want Manziel.

I highly doubt Pettine goes back to Hoyer now, after benching him.

You could be right

But we will see

[OLD FAN MAN]

with burley, both better than gordy

[Smonroe]

Wonder if we will see Hoyer or Manziel.

 

I'm guessing Hoyer with a short leash.  The Browns are very talented on both sides of the ball.  Gordon is a nightmare to defend, their O line is very good in spite of losing Mack, and they have a very good D backfield.

 

Historically, we always have real close games against the Browns.  I don't expect this one to be any different.

Purifoy has already signed with.........    Seattle.

 

Sorry about that.....

[dw49]

 Mostly bad against the run I think. So maybe we don't match up super well against therm ?

Manziel for sure ... 

[James Harden]

Manziel Manziel Manziel

Given what we've seen from Manziel, I believe there isn't much to worry about if he's under center. Sure, he might have a career day, but guess what? He probably won't.

I guess you were shaking in your boots when Whitehurst and Bortles strolled into town too? Newsflash, bruh. There are some bad teams in this league and there are some bad players in this league.

[grimluck72]

They need to bench Harrison and put Shipley back in.

Same thing was said with Big Ben...... What happened?

Yes there are bad teams, but we're average. Did we not just struggle with the Skins today? The Jags in the first half last week?

You act like we're a dominant team. Average at best. And possible it may snow in Cleveland..... How do we fair in the cold weather?

I didn't say anything negative about Ben prior to the Pitt game, or is my opinion just the same as everyone else's?

I wouldn't say they struggled today. Always at least two scores ahead for most of the game. Defense played soft for pretty much a whole quarter because they were so far ahead, similar to the Giants game.

Struggling against the Jags defense last week means they will struggle with Cleveland's quarterback? I don't understand the point you're trying to make here.

[CR91]

not sure if manziel will start, but if he does is that better or worse then facing brian hoyer?

[Moopsiepuffs]

Better.

Hoyer has far more NFL experience, experience in that system and he's a better passer.

[James Harden]

Isn't it ironic that Manziel would(maybe) make his first NFL start against the Colts? We traded a 1st round pick to the Browns for T-Rich and the Browns used it to get Manziel. Technically Manziel belong to the Colts. He is going to be our double agent 

[USAFHoosier]

Only thing he has over Hoyer is running the ball.

[COLTS449]

You never know, I could see Manziel giving us trouble scrambling around and running. Either way it will be a tough game and we'll have to play well.

[fatboy]

Technically Cleveland packaged our 26th to trade up four spots to get Manziel.

[In Luck We Trust]

Vontae is the biggest concern.

considering Manziel came in later in the game 5 for 8 for 63 yards and 2 rushes for 13 yards and a TD was not to bad for a quarter of play. we have issues stopping the run as it is, and having to worry about a RB and a mobile QB will not be pretty. defense needs to step up. this is the time to start getting hot with three big games in a row coming up against Cleveland, Houston and Dallas. all three who are desperately trying to stay in the thick of things for the playoffs.

if i am not mistaken, they packaged our pick to move up a couple spots to get manziel.

If the Colts can beat the Browns next week they put themselves in position to win the South with a win over the Texans the following week at home. 

[In Luck We Trust]

I wouldn't say better. our run defense is already bad enough when it comes to stopping running backs, now they have to worry about possibly stopping a mobile QB from running also. out of the 4 remaining games this game and the Dallas game are the two i'm worried about. 

[In Luck We Trust]

If the Colts can beat the Browns next week they put themselves in position to win the South with a win over the Texans the following week at home. 

yeah they do, but that is IF they beat houston the following week. all it takes is for us to lose to Houston heading to Dallas and everything falls apart. our defense has not been playing particularly well since the pittsburgh game, and turnovers have been a big issue for us. 

[B~Town]

Browns coach Mike Pettine "it's not like we are just going to go back to Brian" sounds like it's Johnny time

[GoColts8818]

I am not saying it will be easy but the Colts have a lot to play for right now too.

Hey I agree here. This isn't the Jaguars right? I mean they gave us a tough run for our money...but look they came back from 21-0 down to knock off the Giants...sure the Giants stink this year but that's not the point.

 

My point is that the Brown's have been a fairly tough team all year. It's not like they'll just lay down. And like I've always said...any given Sunday anything can happen.
