Browns actually won!!??


Yes, the Cleveland Browns pulled out a victory yesterday, despite setting a franchise low in passing yards.

The previous record was 38 yards in 1953, and the Browns offense was dead set on breaking records, and ended with 22 yards of passing offense!

Derrick Anderson starred as JaMarcus Russell in the game, going 2-17. Not a typo.

Myself and Minniti Thumb counted 6 blatant drops by the Browns, but I've read a few reports that say the Browns had a total of 9 dropped passes yesterday. 9. Unreal. If that's the case then DA coul'dve been 11-17.

Guys that blatantly dropped passes, from my account, were; Robert Royal, Brian Robiskie, Chansi Stuckey (who we got for Braylon Edwards), Jerome Harrison and Mohamed Massaquoi.

The Browns won 6-3 on a pair of field goals by Rent-A-Kicker, Billy Cundiff.

The Browns defense, however, looked good. Our defensive backs have been above and beyond, and Shaun Rogers is playing like an All Pro the last two weeks. He was an absolute beast again yesterday in Buffalo.

The bright spot yesterday was simply the Cleveland Browns Special Teams. That entire unit deserves a game ball. Seriously. Dave Zastudil was outstanding. We had them pinned inside the two yard line at least two times, maybe a few more.

Between the Special Teams and the Defensive Backs + Rogers, the Browns do have a few things to build on. The offense, however, is in serious need of some help. Brady Quinn wasn't getting it done, the wideouts can't catch anything thrown by Anderson, so what are we to do? Jamal Lewis looked good, gaining over 100 yards, but part of that could be that the Bills defense sucks, and they lose 2-3 starters during the game yesterday.

What is wrong with our passing game? Can it be some weird jinx that our wideouts simply can't catch a ball? Is it something that DA is doing? Does he put some weird Ninja Spin on the pigskin, rendering it uncatchable? I'm not sure what it is, but if I'm the Head Coach, I'm spending today trying to figure it out. Hell, call up Bernie. Get his input. Yes, I'm serious.
