2012 Browns thread

browns beat reporter on the trophy:

The barge was heavy and expensive, reportedly created at the cost of $10,000. Alas, the teams stopped handing over the barge after Policy split to build a winery in Napa Valley, Calif., in 2005. It was last seen collecting dust in a broom closet in Browns headquarters.

oh to be a fly on the wall in that broom closet!

worst play calling, QB, game plan of any offense in the history of football

^^^ OTM x1000

hay brownie, did u watch that Browns ep of A Football Life on ESPN?

it was kinda 'Browns: The Bill Belichick Story' but still it made me v teary in a few places, esp the players saying goodbye to the fans at the end of the final game.

ew

?

and i say that because there are any number of things to celebrate about the brownies that don't involve bill belichick, for sipe's sake

oh yeah troo

no, i didn't see it. i think Kosar was the subject on 30/30 tho? y/n?

yeah he's one of 3 subjects - I haven't watched the 30/30 yet

hes 1 of like a dozen dudes in it

lol wow - the synopsis makes it sound like there's only kosar, rison and [name forgotten]

you guys are talking about two different shows. Football Life about the Browns is NFL network. The 30 for 30 about former athletes who went broke (featureing Kosar) was on ESPN.

...

I love you for thinking you needed to point that out, Bill.

Amazingly terrible game, week 5. Usually I go to a safe house to watch the Browns. But I end up at a bar about a half mile from my apartment and it's 75% Pittsburgh fans.

Pros: The Browns finally ran some sweeps. Here's an NFL team that hasn't run outside the tackles all year except for the quick pitch against the Ravens.

Christ: No way to stop the run

When the Browns were up 14-0 (!!!) I said to myself and the guy next to me DON'T GIVE UP LONG DRIVES. What followed was a constant parade of off tackle runs and 7 yard curls and outs.

True story: I have never been to a bar in Cleveland on Sunday where the Browns fans outnumber the Steelers fans.

lol @ "Christ:"

at least t-rich looks awesome, and you're primed for a hot #1 pick in 2013!

man, TR is GOOD. i fear that Weeden is this guy:

they really need to just pick another QB in 2013

;_;

Bet in family over Browns game goes awry.

i'm done with everything

Dude, you got to at least wait until after the Bengals game.

Cleveland company reveals geodesic dome idea for Cleveland Browns Stadium

yes, fry the browns fans like ants through god's magnifying glass

it's the final step

lol

Browns president Mike Holmgren will retire at the end of this season and former Eagles president Joe Banner is being named the Browns new CEO effective immediately, according to league sources. New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to make the announcement today

with the team on it's way to 11-5 i'm not sure this is the right move

Pat Shurmur on why he ran a play instead of letting the clock run down to the two minute warning, and regrouping, at the end of the first half:

"When you get down there, you never know how long it's going to take you to score. It may take 5 or 6 plays, so we wanted to get another play in there."

lol at "it may take 5 or 6 plays", it was first and goal! They ended running up the middle for almost no gain. Also, they had timeouts left.

He's a horrible head coach.

Currently gauging the Browns wildcard chances. I can see this happening.

YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS

the sadness is overwhelming

“A couple times I just threw the ball in the dirt to let those guys rest. We were throwing the ball down the field and those guys were tired.” — Colt McCoy

i'm glad i swung by to hear a couple of minutes of bernie. i could smell the alcohol coming off him across fucking time and space

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Cleveland Browns are expected to clean house Monday, letting go of both coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Saturday, citing league sources.

Shurmur was awful, and I'm glad to see him go, but I really liked Heckert. Even if he did draft Brandon Weeden over Russell Wilson.

Will become official later today: Browns selected to be featured team on this summer’s Hard Knocks, per source.

Bonus Browns, more Mayfield.

Did Tyrod Taylor just break his wrist on a 4th an goal scramble in preseason

Tyrip Taylor

Good Lord that 538 article has a lot of hyperlinks.

lmao i had no idea this thread existed, fun fact m1ke p3ttine3 is my uncle

Are you kidding?? That’s awesome!!

ya idk i mean i guess it's p cool but i care SO little abt football that it doesn't faze me much
from what i understand he took them from really shitty to kinda-eh but then they got shitty again and they sacked him?
how do football coaches work?? was he an ok one or did he deserve to be fired? what's the point of quickly firing someone w/o giving them a chance to build up the team? this confuses me so much

he had a rough deal, is a good defensive coach. he'll do well in GB

Going 0-16 will do that to you.

So is the losing streak done or does it have an asterix now?
