Browns: WR Paul Hubbard, RB Allen Patrick, TE Kellen Winslow, TE John Madsen, CB Travis Daniels, S Hamza Abdullah, DE Shaun Smith, and LB Leon Williams

Nice to see Hubbard inactive…way to get him some work. At least Jerome Harrison is active again.

I cant wait to see what a competant head coach does with Hubbard, Rucker, et al

Game not starting so hot for us.

Just caught up, Browns trying to get into field goal range before the end of the first half.

This is about as bad and boring as it can come for a football game.

Ugh…sort of a tough catch, but why did it have to be Rucker that dropped that pass?

And, didn’t we have one timeout left after Dorsey got sacked? Dorsey doesn’t have the arm for a Hail Mary there, but throw in Gradkowski or Cribbs to launch it…

Laughable…Dorsey throws into four defenders towards Edwards.

If Romeo pulled Quinn earlier this season to provide a spark, he can’t do the same here with Dorsey?

What a shame, sham and waste of a football team. No heart no belly, I don’t care about injuries, don’t care about the coach, don’t care about spread sheets, diagrams of plays, don’t care about what this team did to us, or how to use players. ( if we have any)
 When a team has no heart it doesn’t matter what you do. This season was over after week 3, just ask the players.

First halfway decent drive.

I’m about ready for the Gradkowski Era.

Keep trying that Flash package

nice run by Cribbs.

Once again, we’re wasting a solid defensive effort

If the Bengals score again to go up by three possessions, let’s see if we then throw with Cribbs for the third week in a row.

if Leon Hall was on of our WRs, Dorsey’d be having a great day

Now we can build on our momentum this week against the Steelers next week!

Would it be considered unmanly to beg the Steelers for mercy next week?

Well, that was about par for the year. Fucking embarrassing.

Been running errands/X mas shopping today as this game had about as much appeal as a strip off between Rosie O’Donnell and Hillary Clinton.

After checking the box score and seeing we managed 182 yards of “offense” I see I made the right decision skipping this game.

If it makes anyone feel better my other team, the Tampa Bay Bucs, are in meltdown mode as well.

One more week to go, Thank goodness.
 Just waiting for the analysis of this game, pictures, graphs, pictures from the Goodyear blimp on how we could of won this game.
 This team is horrible.

I would enjoy it if we went to a spread option look with Cribbs at QB next week. Just run some bubble screens, zone read, QB lead plays, and see if it has any effect on the Steelers defense. It would greatly reduce their ability to zone blitz.

Fire Chud.

I was also doing a lot of Christmas-related errands this morning…and I am thankful I only checked my phone two or three times. I’m pretty sure I terrified a woman in front of me at Target with my torrent of expletives when I saw the score was 14-0 early in the first.

Can next season start soon enough?

Spent the afternoon at a sports bar near my parents’ home in Port Charlotte so I could watch the Browns and my wife could watch the Steelers. The Browns were awful. So were the Steelers. It was the local Steelers’ bar and at least I got some satisfaction in watching the Steelers get humiliated. I can’t imagine how thoroughly pissed off the Steelers are going to be next week. We may need to go out and get a couple more quarterbacks off the street for after they knock out Dorsey, Gradkowski and Cribbs. Who’s our fourth string super-emergency quarterback?

thought id show up well after the game was over and spread some holiday cheer via rec’s….all we can do is laugh….

I didn’t see any of this game because we had my family at the house for a Christmas gathering. Looks like I didn’t miss much. We were playing the Seinfeld “Scene It” game which I got from my dad and that was much more fun than watching the Browns lose again. (By the way, I took on my brothers, sister, and mom by myself and beat them — nobody know more Seinfeld than I do!!)

The only question left for this season is whether the Browns end up with the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th pick of the draft. There’s no way they beat the Steelers, and I’m thinking that Cincy has a good Shot at beating KC. If Seattle and Oakland pull off upsets, the Browns would be looking at the #4 pick.

Sorry. I’m trying to think of something upbeat, but I’m just no feeling it.

Personally, I hope they don’t play Cribbs too much on offense this week. I’d hate to see him injured in a meaningless game at the end of a dismal season. It would be meaningful if I thought the Browns had a snowball’s chance of winning. The time to play him was early in the season. The time to preserve him for next year is now.
