Wow man, they are bad!
It was a horrible call at the end of the 2nd QT going for the TD.
Edwards is bad, look all the dropped passes.
Penalties, most penalties for this Sunday! Sometimes I was wondering if the Browns were playing against the Steelers or against themselves.
Their CB looked bad.
Their coach made 2 huge mistakes on taking the early timeouts.
Want to add anything else to this?
My question to you is: Will the Browns make it to the playoffs this year?
Yes the Browns are playing bad right now. No I'm not making excuses. However if I did not explain the reasons why we didn't win last night, this thread would be pointless. Let me give you my take on why we lost last night.....
1) Awful call by Romeo at the end of the game for the second week in a row. With 3 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter and being down by 7 points, Romeo elected to kick a field goal?! By doing this, the Browns were still down by 4 points, meaning we still needed a TD to win! 3 points was meaningless at that point. This is 2 strikes for Romeo in my book. 1 more and I'm calling for his firing!
2) The conditions yesterday were downright awful! I was at the game, so I can attest to this. During last nights game, Ike reared it's head into NE Ohio. We actually reached Category 1 type conditions with wind guests up to 70mph and swirling rain! Playing in this weather caused for some sloppy play.
3) Penalties. 1 huge penalty that comes to mind occurred in the 2nd quarter on 3rd and long. The Browns were called for a penalty on the same play that Roethlisberger was sacked. The penalty was unrelated to the sack and had we not been flagged for that, the Steelers would've had to punt. Instead, they were awarded the first down and went on to score the games only TD and the eventual winning points.
4) As I stated in a previous thread, only 1 team will make the playoffs from the AFC North this year. (Pre-Brady injury, so that may change). I predicted the Browns would win the division with only 9 wins. Obviously the season is still young and anything can happen, but I don't think we can win the division without beating Pittsburgh at least once. The next time we play the Steelers in in the last week of the season on Dec. 28th in Pittsburgh.
