Post-Game Thread: Rooting Against Pittsburgh, Baltimore

PrintThe Cleveland Browns ended their season with their fourth straight win, the first time they've done that since 1994. A 5-11 record is an improvement over last year's 4-12 start. We'll have plenty of time to talk about Jerome Harrison's and Joshua Cribbs' contributions in the game later in the week, but for now let's talk about the playoff race the rest of the day.
The Steelers are up 27-24 in the fourth quarter, but Miami is pushing REALLY hard to rally for a win.
The Ravens take on the Raiders, needing a win to get in.
Go Miami and Oakland, and GO BROWNS!

Well deserved nice victory.
Good luck in the offseason-made the right deceisions; and it looks like we will meet next year!

Titans need to win in Seattle though

He just can’t drop into coverage and might be too big. I’d rather have Joe Haden.

It would follow the Mangini blueprint (not that he will be making the decisions this time.) With Jets Mangini teams took Mangold and then Revis the next year. Browns could end up going Mack and then Haden the next year.
Does that mean we draft a bust next season?

I don’t think Cinci will lay down on national tv, especially since winning gets them the #3 seed.

Yes. They’re guaranteed no worse than the 4 seed now, but with the New England loss, they would get the 3 seed if they win.

Here’s scoop: DEN needs to win and have NYJ or BAL lose. HOU needs 2 of NYJ, BAL & DEN to lose. And PIT needs all of NYJ, BAL & DEN to lose.
So if DEN wins and NYJ and BAL lose, who gets in, DEN or HOU?

So Holmgren and Mangini will have a sit down tomorrow most likely. I think if Mangini is on board with Holmgren, he will get another year. If he is combative and stubborn, he will be fired.
He’s not going to be combative and stubborn — it’s not like he’s got a lot of options.
Bottom line: He deserves another year. No question about it.
by TheDriveStillHurts on Jan 3, 2010 4:22 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, he can’t be stubborn. Ryan Kelsey (think it was him) made a good point. If Mangini gets fired, he won’t get any other HC hire. He’s desperate, and I’ll be disappointed if he’s fired.
I think Mangini has been preparing himself to get on board. It seems like both of them have been keeping the possibility open. If Mangini stays I think it’s a win win situation. I can’t think of anyone that Holmgren would be able to pull this year and if Mangini is terrible next year he can fire him then. If he performs well Holmgren can take the credit for sticking with him.

Agree, but you can’t do much better than 500 with those numbers. If you are going to win in the nfl, you need to have a credible passing game. We don’t have that right now.

I bet Lewis comments about Mangini earlier this year were because Mangini refused to play Harrison and kept running him out there.

Does Seattle take a QB in the draft this year? If so, it may not really matter if we should root for them to win or lose today.
No. We should want the best draft pick regardless. You don’t know whether there is some team that will want to give a lot to get in front of Seattle. And you don’t know if maybe MH sees something in Clausen that we don’t — I’d trust his judgment over ours.

What I find funny is that he’s been leaps and bounds better than Jay Cutler.
Brilliant trade by Josh McDaniels.
I’ll admit to still being on the Cutler bandwagon (feeling lonely), but considering what Denver got in the trade, it was a huge win for them.
Really? From what I’ve seen, he’s a QB that plays as good as his surroundings. Hell it might just be worse, it’s possible his 2008 was to him, as 2007 was to Derek Anderson.
Point is moot now but Cutler would have never come here if we tried. I think he wanted a big market and a competitive team.

I tend to be against drafting a QB in the first (especially with what’s available), but don’t be surprised if we do draft one. Holmgren is going to want a QB to build around. I don’t see him thinking he can build around BQ (unless he sees something I don’t), and I don’t see anyone in free agency. So, I would put our chances of drafting a QB in the first or second at better than 50/50.

As much as many hate TO and some Moss. Those two guys have at least put up the numbers to be considered great receivers.

I don’t hate Edwards.
I think that he acted like a boob sometimes (the fight, his comments about the fans, etc.) but I think he was still the biggest offensive threat we have had since ’99.

I feel like Hodges isn’t allowed to think he’s part of the team.
I like Barton. What he said is correct.
Cribbs is down right amazing.
Elam is also Correct and has a lot of potential for next year.
Wright is absolutely, 100% correct.

You should probably cut the “3 hours ago” part out…

I thought about that, but I kept it because it gives it something extra. LIke he’s constantly walking around saying it.
The only thing better would be if he had said

Great players that talk in third person are, oddly enough, great.

Man, this may be the happiest 5-11 team in history.
I really like these guys. I’d love it if Mangini stayed and the team was built.
I’m beginning to think that a little tension (a little, not a hatred) between Mangini and Holmgren wouldn’t be a bad thing. It might serve to keep them in check. Also I think Mangini is a good coach and Holmgren has proven himself to be a good coach, so if they can work together it gives us a huge advantage moving forward.

Almost the exact version of the 2nd 2008 Ravens game bomb he dropped. Except he was actually turned around to watch the ball the whole time.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Braylon simply needs some glasses – like ‘Wild Thing’ – to turn him into the superstar everyone thinks he should be. When is the last time he had his eyes checked?

Interesting season end stat:
We finished number one in the league in conversions of two yards or less on 3rd and 4th down when running behind the center. Mack led the way to a 93% conversion rate. 93%. That’s ridiculous.
We tied for fifth in the league for fewest negative rushing plays when running behind the center (7 total).

That would be cool, but unlikely. I imagine it’ll go to a more flashy player like Percy Harvin. But if it were up to me, Jairus Byrd, Brian Cushing, James Laurinaitis, Clay Matthews, and Brian Orakpo would all be on my short list.
Joe Thomas was second in 2007 only behind AP right?

I think it went Peterson, Thomas and Lynch with Thomas earning the only first place vote that Peterson didn’t get.
