Cleveland Browns vs. Chicago Bears - Official Game Thread

Cleveland Browns at Chicago Bears, Nov 1, 2009 1:00 PM EST


The anticipation for a Browns game is close to reaching a new point. Even with the underdog teams of the past, you at least had a feeling that the Browns could pull off an "upset special." With the Bears coming off a 45-10 loss to the Bengals though, an "upset" isn't even crossing my mind. Why? We can't even score a touchdown if it doesn't involve special teams.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (1-6) WEEK 8 CHICAGO BEARS (3-3)
VS.
Date: November 1, 2009 Location: Chicago, IL
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
Stadium: Soldier Field
TV: CBS
Favorite: Bears by 13½
Radio: WTAM, 1100 AM Over/Under: 40½
SBN Coverage: Windy City Gridiron
Announcers
Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots

 

After this week, the Browns will head into their bye week before returning November 16 on Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens. Assuming Anderson struggles again this week, I hope we get to see Brady Quinn the rest of the season.

Let's start off this week's preview with the overall team statistics heading into Week 8...

OFFENSE

Category Browns
Bears
Points Scored 10.3 (30th) = Push 21.5 (20th)
Passing 128.3 (31st) = Push 231.5 (16th)
Rushing 97.1 (24th) = -6 80.7 (29th)
Total Offense (yards) 225.4 (31st) = Push 312.2 (21st)

 

DEFENSE

Category Browns
Bears
Points Scored 25.6 (27th) = -1 24.0 (22nd)
Passing 244.3 (24th) = -1 220.3 (16th)
Rushing 170.6 (31st) = -1 109.5 (18th)
Total Defense (yards) 414.9 (32nd) = Push 329.8 (16th)

CLEVELAND BROWNS Position CHICAGO BEARS
To make light of a situation, I would still take Derek Anderson over Trent Edwards as a starting quarterback. Har har.

QB - Jay Cutler might not have been able to pull the Bears above mediocrity, but he's far and above better than the Browns' quarterbacks.
Now the new regime is saying Jerome Harrison needs to work on his blocking. Just let him run the ball instead then?

RB - The ground game is struggling, but they have their running back of the future in second-year man Matt Forte.
Rookie Brian Robiskie was drafted in the second round and has 1 catch for 23 yards and 0 touchdowns.

WR - Rookie Johnny Knox was drafted in the fifth round and has 21 catches for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns.
If Anderson was struggling because he had only two seconds to throw every play, we could make excuses for him. He's having plenty of time.
-
OL
The Bears' offensive line has been a disappointment this season, although Cutler has gotten rid of the ball before taking would-be sacks.
For all of that bulk and experience we have on the defensive line, the unit isn't getting the job done.

DL - DT Tommie Harris, missing last week when Carson Palmer had a field day, returns this week to the starting lineup.
I'll have most of my attention focused on Kaluka Maiava this week to see how he improves over last week. More of David Veikune and Alex Hall still, please.

LB - It's pretty bad for our linebacker unit when the Bears lose both of their top inside linebackers, including Brian Urlacher, and are still ranked higher here.
I'm still confident in Eric Wright, but the rest of the secondary hasn't had a chance to shine due to other areas of the defense falling apart again.
 
DB - Charles Tillman was burned last week by Chad Ochocinco. We don't have a receiver right now who can burn anybody.
The return of Phil Dawson could come this week, which means we can finally attempt some longer field goals.
- ST
The Bears have dangerous return men and a solid kicking game; this one could really be close to "even."

Creativity on offense. That's the only way I see the Browns having any chance of pulling off an upset. If the coaching staff says they should be using Cribbs more, then use him. I don't have faith in Brian Daboll to pour creativity into this game if he hasn't done it all season. Cutler will find the Browns' defense much easier to pick apart than the Bengals last week.

FINAL PREDICTION: Chicago Bears 27, Cleveland Browns 10.
CHRIS' RECORD IN PICKING BROWNS GAMES: 6-1
CHRIS' OVERALL NFL PREDICTIONS RECORD: 77-26

This is the official gameday thread for the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 as they take on the Chicago Bears. All comments regarding the game should be posted in this topic. Enjoy the game, and GO BROWNS!!!

Has Veikune played ONCE on defense?

And just think Shady McCoy went after all of our second round picks. I was yelling at the TV to take the guy. Veikune was taken at 52, McCoy at 53. Just crazy.

Goodness gracious Brad, is there anything that is not off limits for you. I wanted the Browns to draft McCoy who plays and is doing decent. Veikune can’t even get on the field so you think just maybe McCoy could help our team.
 Not complaining, just stating my opinion and I am sure I am not far off on the assessment. But of course how could I ever go against the so called grain here and ever offer my take on the draft because it is obvious I don’t know shit.
 Just please tell me that Veikune will produce soon like McCoy is.

I think our defense has a chance to shine in this game. Other then the Bills game this is the most winnable game on our schedule so far. I like the Browns to win 20-13

31-28 Bears but it could go the other way.The reason I’m so confident is because we are playing at home and the Bears are pretty good at home.

Greene. Rookie QB. Quality Line. Injured Leon Washington. He won’t get a lot of carries, but he’s likely to get a lot of the touches on the goal line.

GAMEDAY INACTIVES

Browns declared RB Jerome Harrison, K Billy Cundiff, RB Chris Jennings, DB Anthony Madison, TE Greg Estandia, TE Robert Royal, DB Gerard Lawson, and OL Billy Yates inactive for Sunday’s tilt against the Bears.

Lots of surprises with today’s inactive list.

Harrison inactive? Jennings also inactive? I think we might actually be in for a dose of Cribbs at RB today, since J. Lewis is the only “pure” RB position player active.

Interesting that Brett Ratliff is NOT on the inactive list. Could that mean we play on using him before the fourth quarter?

Cundiff is inactive, so Dawson is back and will kick the whole game.

Royal and Estandia are out, but Steve Heiden is back.

Why are we benching a rookie? Why are we benching Pool?

by Bernie19Kosar on Nov 1, 2009 1:28 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

My guess with Pool is that its something about his ability to be in the right spot/read an offense/something mental. Because physically he has about all you could ask for in a safety.

HARRISON CHANGE

I got the inactive list from RotoWorld at first, but that appears to be inaccurate now. The OBR indicates that HARRISON is active, while RATLIFF is inactive. That would seem to make much more sense.

Are we having any sort of a jet sweep fake on the wildcat plays?

by rufio on Nov 1, 2009 1:11 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think we’ve ran one like that yet, if my memory serves correct. Which is disappointing, considering it seems to be the most effective Wildcat play. Having the O-line:
TE – G – C – G – T – T – TE
is also vital, but I’m not sure we’re doing that either.

by Simmsinns on Nov 1, 2009 1:15 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You can effectively run the wildcat without the unbalanced line. You can block from that formation just like any other.

by rufio on Nov 1, 2009 1:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Disagree, when you pull the guard and you have at least one talented and athletic tackle (i.e. Jake Long, or Joe Thomas?), you end with really good blocking often down field.

I’m very confident in saying that is one of the primary reason Miami can run it effectively.

by Simmsinns on Nov 1, 2009 1:20 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Its another wrinkle to throw in. Every wrinkle you can effectively run helps your chances and makes the opposing team study more. You can run it effectively either way, but different plays happen to be more effective with the unbalanced line.

If they “overturn” this, and it is a “forward pass” then they have to call a penalty for intentional grounding. BUT you can’t add a penalty to the play.

Even if his hand goes forward, than it is an INTENTIONAL GROUNDING. But you can’t add a penalty from a replay. Paradox.

by Simmsinns on Nov 1, 2009 1:33 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah. In this case, though, there was no penalty if it wasn’t a pass, so by calling it a pass then they should be able to call a penalty after the review.

3rd sting QBs are almost always inactive. You can activate them in the “emercency” situation that both your #1 and #2 get hurt. For that reason, you almost always deactivate them to allow someone who can play ST to be active.

I’m a semi-believer in the incentives. But honestly Mangini could just sit him later in the year. Plus he’s a Browns QB so he will wind up hurt at some point this year.

1/6, 4 yards. what were quinn’s when he got yanked? 6/8, 32 i believe. this is what makes me so mad. DA is doing much, much worse than quinn but mangini still keeps him in. i don’t get it at all.

Owen Daniels exited Sunday’s game against the Bills with what the team is calling a right knee “sprain.”
Knee injuries are almost always called sprains initially, but can turn out more serious after MRIs. Daniels almost certainly won’t return to the game, which is a shame in such a favorable matchup against a Bills team that struggles to cover tight ends. Daniels’ backups are Joel Dreessen and James Casey
