stevegrab Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) You're leaving out one my favorite stats from this Browns team's pathetic season. Through 12 games, 9 points scored in the first quarter, 3 FGs and 0TDs. Not only do they rarely (or never) score on the opening drive, they cannot get a TD. That is why most teams (even those with far from stellar defenses) will give us the ball if they win the toss. The line for tonight that I saw was 13.5, total 39.5. I'd take the Steelers to cover and not sure I'd touch the total. Something like 27-10, with the Browns getting a late garbage TD when the Steelers stop caring. ETA: Ooops my bad, forget about the TD in 1Q week 12 vs Bengals, so that is 16 points in the 1Q of 12 games WOW I guess they are that good Edited December 8, 2011 by stevegrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 So it it: Colt McCoy? Peyton Hillis and/or the lack thereof a running game? Minimal talet at WR? Poor O-Line play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm licking my chops on the prospect of Mendenhall having his best game of the year. Just in time for the first round of playoffs. Merry X-Mas to ME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 A couple more "fun facts": > CLE has 1124 rushing yards as a team ... MJD has 1137, L. McCoy has 1134. > CLE needed (as a team) 316 rushing attempts to manage their 3 total TDs ... Kuhn's 4 TDs came on 16 rushing attempts.

stevegrab Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 So it it: Colt McCoy? Peyton Hillis and/or the lack thereof a running game? Minimal talet at WR? Poor O-Line play? Of those 4 I'd say its least of all the line. Thomas (LT) and Mack © are good. Loss of Steinbach (LG) before the season started hurt. The right side of the line hasn't been good in a while. But yeah, all aspects are pretty bad. I hope Greg Little continues to develop and overcomes his problems with the dropsies. I had hoped McCoy could continue to develop, but he appears to have regressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying...if a young QB had no real talent at receiver and no running game to rely on....he might not look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I don't even blame LeBron for leaving Cleveland. I'm starting to believe all the talk of curses. Plenty of worse towns (sorry Detroit) have had some major league sports championship in the past 45+ years. I'd settle for the Browns having similar success to the Cavs recently and Indians in the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I thought I read something abuot a GM (not sure if it was Holmgren with the Browns or somebody else) saying they would only hire a HC that was also going to be the OC, just sounds And and GO BROWNS!!! (I don't give em much chance tonight, but I would love to see a miraculous upset of the Steelers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
