Horrible MNF Trio

I had a much nicer introduction and preview written up for this game, but apparently my clicking of the save button didn't work properly, because it was gone when I came back to it.

After losing twice within a span of five days when having multiple-possession leads in the second half of games, the Cleveland Browns have had awhile to regroup. In essence, it ends up being a second bye week for the team. If our record had been better than 3-6, that might have meant something. Instead, we're just hoping that Brady Quinn will play well again and lead the Browns to victory. Let's get right into this week's preview with the overall team statistics thus far...

OFFENSE

Category Browns Bills
Points Scored 19.1 (25th) 29.3 (21st)
Passing 180.4 (27th) 213.8 (13th)
Rushing 101.0 (22nd) 90.0 (28th)
Total Offense (yards) 281.4 (27th) 303.8 (24th)

DEFENSE

Category Browns Bills
Points Scored 21.5 (15th) 21.0 (13th)
Passing 226.9 (22nd) 205.3 (14th)
Rushing 145.2 (27th) 103.9 (13th)
Total Defense (yards) 372.1 (26th) 309.2 (13th)

-

Quarterback

The Bills have not seen an A+ performance out of Trent Edwards this year. The former third-round draft pick started off the season managing games well, but he has not been very effective the past three weeks. During that stretch, Edwards has thrown 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Brady Quinn definitely has more upside overall, but this will be his first road start of the season. To be fair, I can't rank him as a superstar just yet.

-

Running Back

One of the bigger disappointments this season at the running back positions has to be Marshawn Lynch. His season has been very similar to that of Jamal Lewis' -- several "ok" games, but he has not reached the 100-yard mark or thrived against division opponents. When the Bills needed him most the past two weeks against the Jets and Patriots, he has combined for 62 yards on 23 carries on the ground. The Browns need to work in Jerome Harrison on a more consistent basis; let's see if Romeo Crennel holds true to his word.

-

Receiver

This was supposed to be a breakout season for WR Lee Evans, and he has quietly posted some fair statistics, still averaging an astounding 18.9 yards per catch this season. Maybe I'm off on this, but while fans around the league know that Braylon Edwards is having a down season, they'd probably project that his stats are still higher than Evans. That is not the case. Beyond Evans though, the Bills have the same problem they've had the past several years: there aren't any go-to-guys beyond him. Quinn established a solid relationship with Kellen Winslow and Donte Stallworth last week, and has an extra week of practice under his belt in working with them.

-

 

Offensive Line

The news has been better for left guard Eric Steinbach, although there isn't a definite word on his status tonight. The Bills improved their offensive line in the offseason and their ranking might have been higher had they not been part of a three game losing streak. Both teams are pretty even at blocking the run, but the Browns excel when it comes to protecting the passer.

-


 

Defensive Line

Corey Williams' shoulder has him listed as questionable again. Sooner or later, I'm definitely due on an article about how Williams has been a complete bust thus far. The Bills will still be without outstanding pass rusher Aaron Schobel on Monday Night, a big break for Brady Quinn. For the second week in a row, Quinn shouldn't feel the pressure too much.

-

 

Linebacker

Big change at the linebacker position this week: Shantee Orr is going to see some playing time. With that said, it only makes sense that rookie fourth-rounder Beau Bell will probably be inactive again. For the Bills, Kawika Mitchell and Paul Posluszny are two players I'd like the Browns to get their hands on, if we had the appropriate defensive system. The Bills aren't particularly lights out at linebacker, but they are a healthier and better-tackling unit that Denver was.

-

 

Secondary

Cleveland's secondary has taken major steps backwards the past two weeks, but they are ones that we can recover from. Really, we've only been burned late in games -- hopefully Mel Tucker, being a defensive backs specialist, will find a better rotation by throwing Travis Daniels and Mike Adams into the mix more often.

-

 

Special Teams

Joshua Cribbs is back to the point where he can return a kick the distance every time he touches the ball. The Bills have a nearly equally dangerous returner in Roscoe Parrish, but like Cribbs earlier this season, Parrish is sort of in a "dry" spell period. Phil Dawson had two tremendous kicks in a snow bowl last season -- I think he'll be ready for some chilly weather in Buffalo.

FINAL PREDICTION: Cleveland Browns 20, Buffalo Bills 17.
The kiss of death again, right? Had the Bills not looked so bad the past three weeks, I would've taken the Bills in this matchup. On the season though, Cleveland has never really played horrible football after the first three weeks. We beat a Jacksonville team on the road when they were on the same exact type of slump that Buffalo is on right now.

Quinn played a game last week, looking like he was managing a game plan. This week, he'll mentally be ready to score quicker and execute more often down the field in case he needs to keep up the scoring in a shootout.

This is the official gameday topic for the Cleveland Browns in Week 11 as they battle the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this topic. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

How good does BQ need to be for you to give him the edge over Trent Edwards? Sure, our secondary will make him look like Tom Brady, but that’s not a reflection on BQ.

I think the problem is the mix of who I think is better and who I am ranking as better.

If someone said “Quinn vs. Edwards”, I would say “Give me Quinn”.

But, then if someone said, “in this game, how could you rank Quinn better than Edwards when it’s only his second career start, and his first on the road?” Then I’d say what I said — out of fairness, I’ll consider them even for now.

And, with two or three more consistent starts, maybe I’ll be able to rank Quinn ahead of Ryan Fitzpatrick come Week 16 ;) Only kidding; but if I like what I see the next few weeks, he’ll have a strong chance to being given the edge against a team like the Eagles or even the Titans.

One note guys: I won’t get to start watching the game until around 10:00-10:30, so I’ll be catching it on tape delay and therefore probably won’t be able to comment during the game. I could pop on the radio when the game starts, but I’d rather catch the game later on and act like I’m seeing it live.

So, have fun discussing the game on this chilly Monday night.

i hesitate to say this here, b/c dick jauron is clearly trolling, ready to pounce on the great ideas that we post here…

don’t we take a shot downfield to edwards on the first or second play? quinn’s longest throw last week was 13 yards? doesn’t one of the first two plays have to be a double move with edwards flying past the secondary for a long completion?

by DontCallMeJoey on Nov 17, 2008 7:09 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I understand what you’re thinking, but I don’t think it’s as necessary as it was in the past. Quinn was very effective last week on short throws; it might be better to continue with that comfort zone again and tame the crowd. Then, still early but a little later in the game, I’d give Edwards a crack at a deep ball.

i feel like the earlier we take a shot downfield the better. then that intermediate game loosens up, and the more confidence brady can amass. with some concern about edwards and streaking deep, winslow becomes even more effective.

by DontCallMeJoey on Nov 17, 2008 7:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Sounds like a great idea. It would at least show the defence that we are willing to look deep,

kornheiser is a total train wreck, but i actually like jaworski. i find his analysis of x’s and o’s to be pretty interesting. i’m a tirico fan, too. total pro…except when he has to shill for his ESPN pimps.

by DontCallMeJoey on Nov 17, 2008 7:45 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I also like Jaws, he can break down the game really well. Kornheiser is terrible in the booth, though. If ESPN really cared about showing a football game instead of making it “entertainment” then they would let him go. But they try to make a show out of everything so we’re stuck with him. I actually like him very much on PTI but this isn’t his thing.

On the bright side, at least they’ve seem to cut down on the in-booth interviews this year. Those were always unbearable.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

Gameday Inactives

This should be my last post before the game, then I’m off.

Cleveland Browns
LB Beau Bell, CB Gerard Lawson, SS Hamza Abdullah, QB Ken Dorsey, FB Lawrence Vickers, TE Martin Rucker, OG Scott Young, WR Steve Sanders

Buffalo Bills
DL Aaron Schobel, OT Demetrius Bell, QB Gibran Hamdan, OG Jason Whittle, DL John McCargo, WR Josh Reed, WR Justin Jenkins, RB Xavier Omon

Comments: No surprises for Cleveland; good to see Steinbach and Williams dressed up. As expected, no set playing time for Beau Bell.

by Buckeye Brad on Nov 17, 2008 10:33 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

My main point is that the general clamor was for Anderson to be replaced because he completed less than 50% of his passes. Don’t get me wrong, I want Quinn to succeed but the double standard is absurd. 7-18 for 84 yards (now) isn’t going to get it done, meaningless stat or not.

But this is less than three quarters of one game. DA has been doing it all year long. You can’t make that comparison. Nobody was calling for Quinn to replace DA in the first game of the season.

The clamor for DA was not only because of his terrible pass percentage, It was also about how badly he was throwing the >50% that he missed. I think DA has been scapegoated somewhat, but trying to compare Quinn in his 7th quarter of NFL football with DA with over a year under his belt is pretty disingenuous.

That’s not what I am doing. I’m just saying that, in one game, what we accept from certain players is greatly different from what we accept from others. Anderson plays this exact same game and it is evidence he has to go, Quinn plays it and we just need to give him more time.

We have to let them score.

TD is better than 2nd and goal.

I agree. Have to let them score.

Well, in the worst possible scenario this is pretty ideal. All the clock and all the timeouts.

And we only need a FG. We’re pretty good at getting those.

I have a crazy theory: Jerome Harrison.

by DisplacedBuckeye on Nov 17, 2008 11:38 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

But the drive is going to start with a first down…thus the mandatory handoff to Lewis.

Brady is very impressive avoiding the rush. DA can’t do that.

The wind is at our back. Why don’t we just kick the ball out of the end zone and make them go from the 20?

Still, next time, we should tackle more.

Well, we did our best to give you guys the win.

Good luck the rest of the way. Please beat New England and If Polslusky happens to plow into Beledick on the sidelines and snap his femur then that’s a just a bonus.

What I Learned (Again) From This Game

1. Fire Crennel . . . because the defense (his specialty!) stinks
2. Fire Crennel . . . for his refusal to use Jerome Harrison wisely this season
3. Fire Crennel . . . because he doesn’t know how to call plays appropriate to the down
4. Fire Crennel . . . because he doesn’t know how to manage the game clock
5. Fire Crennel . . . because he didn’t go with Quinn until he was forced to

Fire Crennel after this season concludes!

by ploni on Nov 18, 2008 12:10 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Phil Dawson better make the Pro Bowl. He was the hero tonight but has been clutch since the return of the Browns.

Too bad he can’t play defense…..

What I Learned, Part 2

6. Fire Crennel . . . because the Browns do not know how to tackle
7. Fire Crennel . . . because he does not know how to motivate and inspire

by ploni on Nov 18, 2008 12:30 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

What I Learned, Part 3

8. Fire Crennel . . . because the 3-4 DOES NOT WORK (at least the way he does it)!
