Week 16: Browns @ Panthers; 1:00 P.M. CBS

[bob2the2nd]

Hoyer has missed about 10 easy TDs this year because his deep ball is embarrassing.

We have to draft QB as top priority. What a wasted draft. Could have had a handful of great young receivers and we find a way to whiff entirely on the first round again.

what play are you talking about?

 

[Los216]

Should have called a time out right after that play and use the 2 min warning as another time out.

 

[Lee]

Bad clock management by Petine. You call TO before the TMW. Gets you an extra 30 seconds if they run the ball, or 8 seconds on an incomplete pass.

Either way, bad coaching.

what play are you talking about?

I assume the substantial underthrow to Benjamin on the interception (which ended up eventually fumbled back to the Browns).

 

[brownindian]

Insult to injury!

 

[Soar]

That was some impressive defense.

perhaps the safety over the top was a part of that?

great play by the DB, maybe slightly short of a pass by hoyer. but to say that was an easy touch down is ridiculous.

I think Pettine has given up on this game by then and I dont blame him.

 

[caf]

Classic browns.

Pettine kicking FGs costs us the game. Glad we always find the play it safe coaches that can grind out losses even though we have nothing to lose.

This team still blows. The hot start will cost Pettine his job after we take a step backwards in the W/L column with the tougher schedule next year.

Get ready to start this all over again real soon.

No one was behind Benjamin. I agree it was a great play by the DB, but Benjamin had a lot of space.

So the Browns will lose today and next week and close the season out Can we really say they're bringing anything positive into this coming off-season?

There was no safety near him. Just another woefully thrown deep ball to an open reciever.

In all fairness - Kicking fieldgoals was probably the safest way to get something on the board - Our Offense seemed incapable and except for the Cameron TD, It was pretty inept.

Why play safe? We are eliminated. Try to get a damn touchdown. We hadn't scored one in 2.5 games, you have to go for it when you get close.
