I'll go with Winslow and Lewis on offense and Shaun
Rogers on D. Those are the only guys who really stood out as playing
good. |
| bigdaddy78 |
Sorry no gameballs today. Another ill prepared team,
worthy of nothing but ridicule and scorn. |
| czarayn |
Absolutely no one. |
| ikoiko |
Quinn and Cribbs didn't play, just like most of our
offensive starters. Winslow was the exception. |
| dapetersen |
Nobody |
| sactribe |
They did their jobs, that's more than you can say
about most of the team today |
| bulldogdad |
Joe Thomas, reliable and solid. K2 brings his A game
every game. Shaun Rogers is a huge upgrade in the middle. |
| naplesrbr |
At a minimum, every fan who paid and attended today's
"game" is owed an NFL football. |
| bundydawg |
Gotta go with the fans just for the upcoming pain I
know we are going to have to go through. |
| ashvilledawg |
Jamal tried, Wimbley did to. Too little to late. |
| chefeman17 |
none! |
| jaw1dawg |
nobody comes to mind |
| apvic |
Shaun Rogers was a beast... without him the "D"
sucks. Andra Davis for having his best game in recent memory... now keep
it up.. and finally K2.. what a gamer.. if the rest of the offense was
like him today and we might have had a chance to win !!! |
| ndegrands |
Winslow, Rogers and Steptoe. All ok. |
| vintage74 |
Winslow was the only one who showed up for this game.
Fans get a gameball for having to watch another unmotivated RAC coached
opener. And last but not least I'm giving a gameball to the longsnapper
because everyone else just sucked and I can't think of anyone else to
give it to. |
| 92noheart |
It's hard to give anybody a gameball in this one, but
Kellen didn't drop a single pass, and DA didn't throw any picks and
looked pretty poised, but he needs to air it out more. |
| fanofbrwns |
Braylon Edwards ability to drop 95% of a passes
thrown his way!!!! |
| thehollismaniac |
Since there is a column, I give it to Jamal. That big
run he had in the second half where it took 4 or 5 cowholes to tackle
him was probably the best play of the game. Winslow caught everything
thrown his way. |
| nybiggdawg |
Shaun Rogers played his rear-end off. He showed all
the other DL-men up.KWII was very consistent and focused. RB's gave a
good effort, especially gamer Jamal Lewis who wasn't 100%. |
| stimp |
You know its bad when you have to choose the kicker.
|
| shrooney |
Edwards...c'mon!?!! Defense exposed for how poor it
really is. |
| rainesghost |
At least we didn't lose by 19... |
| gregtng |
Derek Anderson because he really did nothing to hurt
this teams sh*tty play.. Ken Dorsey because Bernie Kosar repeatedly says
he's a great quarterback during the preseason |
| tisone |
Rogers played well and gave 100%. One of the few to
generate a pass rush on very rare occasion. |
| caryncbrownsbacker |
The fans get a game ball for this laid egg. Are you
kidding me! Our secondary has got to be the worst in the league and NO
player on either side of the ball deserves a game ball. |
| dawgdc |
Jamal for playing on a bad hamstring and trying to do
what he could do. K2 for showing up to play. Lawrence Vickers for being
a good fullback!! Eric Wright for the pick off in the endzone!!!! Not
too much to be proud of today but they at least stood out!!! |
| mmmbrowns |
If there's one thing Romeo's good at, it's sucking on
opening day. |
| fladawg1 |
KWII has to be the best receiving TE in the league,
hands down.
Harrison shows some nice flashes and a change of pace.
JL just gets it done. I love seeing when he pulls a pile a few yards. |
| dawgedue |
Winslow played like he cared. Pontbriand was flawless
as usual, and made a nice tackle. Rogers made an impact despite being
held EVERY PLAY. |
| harpster |
Thanks for the penalties guys... but it wasn't
enough. |
| spicydeigo |
A few guys had decent games but over all this team
came out an laid a big egg. No one but the fans are getting a game ball
from me. |
| number1brownsfan |
Shaun Rogers is the Browns' best player; great game
by him. DA gets a game-ball, only because he didn't throw an INT. Dawson
get one for the FG (PATHETIC). |
| pittspukestoolerz |
we should have all pooped on our seats before we left
the stadium |
| hpschlos |
K2 came to play. Joe Thomas gave DA enough time to
throw. The fans booed appropriately when they kicked the field goal. |
| dawghowl |
K2: played hard and caught everything thrown his way.
Lewis: Jamal ran the ball hard and got what he could. Fans: For having
to put up with that pathetic display of a so called defense the browns
put on the field. |
| dawgshelter |
The only 2 players who came to play today. |
| springsdawg |
DB's were constantly toasted but pretty good run
support from Jones. Nice catches by Heiden even though he missed one.
Jamal is THA MAN. |
| lr44k |
Shaun Rogers is a beast. double teamed all day and
made some nice plays. Steptoe did fine for first game. no fumbles and
positive yds. Winslow is a true stud. if QB had some time Winslow would
of been off chart. |
| karelnemecek |
DA gets a pass tossing catchable passes and seeing
them dropped. TEs K2 & Heiden did a good job and made important grabs.
ST did a good job on coverage, fair on returns, but we shanked a punt. |
| mtsames |
Losers get nothing |
| trilobiterex |
Voted for that since I flipped channels to that
rather than watch that mess up by the lake. |
| silly5 |
Rogers was making plays. |
| amp4319 |
Lewis ran very tough and he was not 100%. Thomas kept
Ware away from Anderson and that is not easy to do. I thought Rogers was
really the only guy on our front seven who showed up. |
| chowdogg |
Josh cribbs for wanting to play, we need our best
player on the field
Ali he is one big dude
Lewis and Shaun Rogers for their effort
Hall is probably our best linebacker
Crennel for helping with the spread getting that important field goal,
saved me 50 cents |
| playbrowns |
Officials did an adequate job today, and probably
helped us out more than we would like to admit. Rogers looked good, but
this 3-4 defense is miserable. Lewis ran hard and looks good, even if he
was hurting. |
| oldeguarde |
1/2 a game ball for D.A.'s first half. |
| predator94warrior |
Special Teams did a respectable job without their
Superstar on coverage units, even though Zastudil kind of shanked one. |
| dapound |
I thought D.A. had a nice start. too many penalties,
drops and way too much pressure. Many of his throws were on the money
and he did not throw a pick |
| browndawgsteve |
Anderson - Like Edwards didn't play much in the
preseason but he was crisp and for the most part he was on time and
accurate.
Chudzinski - Plays were their, just needs to be executed.
Dawson - Hit all his attempts and kickoffs for the most part were deep.
All when he was not 100%.
Winslow - Caught everything around him. Just like he always does. |
| mistofdeath |
Here we go again. We still love our Browns just wish
someone would let them know we have been back since 1999!It's ok to
leave it all on the field to play to win not just to try not to look
real bad the next day. Romeo and mel must go. Andy sorry for the way
they have wasted your money and Chud sorry for the drops and a O they
just cant seem to run it right. Good plays need go finishes not drops
miss reads and ...well you watched the game too. |
| poqdawg |
Fans need to have a game ball for having to put up
with this! |
| froggy60 |
Winslow came to play like a player should and did it
well.
Lewis is a stud.....
Rogers is a mountain in the middle but, needs help |
| dawgonit0207 |
Nice showing by the defense. NOT! I could have beat
the Browns with the amount of time Romo had. |
| brownsclown |
Hard to find many gameballs today. Jamal ran hard but
being behind he became a non factor. Kellen played well early,
disappeared later and Eric made a nice pick, and we didn't see him much
any other time (a good thing).Remember game 1 last year, and we were OK.
|
| dawgpoundr |
Maybe the varsity will show up next week, then I'll
have some real gameballs to award. |
| vandalfan11 |
He tried to make plays but got screwed by
everyone...he looked crisp but was let down by his team. Rogers is a
beast... KII looks like a probowler again |
| brownsfanmn13 |
At least K2 came to play. On the defense, I would
have to say Andra Davis looked like he was much more active than the
rest of the defense. |
| outlawjessej |
OL-NO SACKS! I vote McKinney in individually
simply because that facemask penalty was something I wanted to do, to a
cowboy, all game long. How bout them %$#@! cowboys! |
| dirtydave98 |
Noboby deserves a gameball after that P*ss poor
performance! Hopefully there's some improvement before Sundays' game
with Pitt in Prime time |
| dawgnuts1 |
KW2 - played hard, as usual; Cribbs - just because
this game was a reminder of how great he really is; no one else deserves
any for this piece of crap performance. |
| sindustmark |
McGinest gets a gameball for bust Romo's chin and
giving us something to cheer about when Romo was crying in pain |
| muskiebuck |
It is a sad day when I have to vote for the place
kicker and designated snapper for two of my three game balls. |
| clevelandfan |
No player or coach deserves a gameball after this
disaster. Props to us fans who continue to support this glorious team.
Our time will come! Hopefully this will be the only type of this game
this year. |
| snagdawg |
I appreciate Jamal being on the field and giving it
his all. More than I can say for some. Steptoe gave us all he had, but
he just doesn't measure up to Josh Cribbs. |
| avonlakebacker73 |
Gotta give a game ball to those of us who stayed and
watch our beloved team get embarrassed once again. |
| 64superfan |
Derek Anderson needs to buy Joe Thomas a six pack for
keeping him alive! |
| 29turner |
JL is running as hard (if not harder) than last
season! |
| spark0269 |
At lease Jamal Lewis has some guts and spirit. |
| tomahawkdawg |
KWII - Nice TD. Best TE in the NFL IMO.
J-LEW - Not a 100 yd day, but workmanlike and tough all game.
The Fans - Only Browns' fans would be so loyal on opening day depite a
1-1000 record in the past 1001 years. |
| dixiedawg |
At least I got my grass cut during the 2nd half.
Pitiful. |
| iwillpierceyou |
I give a gameball to BEER. Without BEER, we would
have never made it this far. He gives 0 on every play, and I'm glad
to have BEER on my team. |
| bigfwee |
Steptoe for answering the bell when it was rung.
Kellen Winslow for being the only starting reciever to show some
consistency. Steve Sanders for getting that first catch. |
| sawthewarin64 |
Lewis ran hard and tough. Thought he looked good for
having a suspect hamstring |
| smithlel |
Any gameball is by the slimmest of margins! |
| sawthewarin64 |
Rogers looked 'decent'... just wonder why no calls on
Cowgirls when HIS helmet was getting repeatedly knocked off... fuuny
they called it on the Browns |
| keith322 |
Steptoe played well for a rookie in his first game.
|
| clevelandcraig |
WTF. That is the best we can do WTF. |
| lkounto |
Game ball to Shaun Rogers, since he held his own and
usually occupied 2 giant lineman on most plays. He atleast gave our
pathetic LB's a chance to make a play; of course they didn't make many.
Game ball to K. Winslow Jr., since he was the only real consistent
offensive threat and made the most of the situation, like catching the
ball traffic, and scoring on a semi-busted play in the end zone.
Game ball to Robaire Smith who is the best returning d-lineman and the
most consistent performer in this game. Remember that he sacked Romo
only to get it nullified by a penalty. Watching him play his position is
impressive. He really is the only true 3-4 end on the team. The rest are
on the job training and it shows. |
| thejamdawg |
KWII was the only player who showed up. You can't
blame the officials for this, they actually called penalties on Dallas.
We deserve a Gameball for cheering when Romo got nailed and for putting
up with this crap. Bill G gets a Gameball for "T.O. STILL HAS B.O." and
update on a classic. |
| mdr |
Game balls for the 3 players that seemed to be
trying. One for that fans, as always. |
| deathbyeagle |
Jamal had some heart....as did K2. Everyone else
sucked real bad |
| houndfromhell |
A few good players who actually gave a sh*t. The
others only played like it.. |
| thapymp |
At least the tight ends came to play. |
| rutger |
No-body gets any for opening the season like with an
effort like that once again and there aren't enough Goathorns to go
around for that defense. |
| taipeidawg |
I know the secondary got burned but somehow they
showed some guts... Brandon McDonald played tough though now he knows
there are some receivers you can play soft against hoping for a pick,
but others you can't give any cushion to. I give Shaffer credit for
helping to get some running yardage over the right side of the line when
there was nothing to be had on the left. |
| mmercurio88 |
8-ball gets the 1st game ball because of his energy.
Congrats to Sanders on his 1st NFL catch. Cribbs didn't play but that's
good enough for third place. |
| vdubble |
Jamal, Shaun and Kellen brought their A game and
stepped up. What the hell happened to out other playmakers. The OL did a
pretty good job as well. |
| jmiller40 |
None qualify. |
| cashmoney216 |
Jamal...thanks for being a man and showing up even
though you weren't 100%. Stallworth needs to model himself after you.
|
| alfraggs |
not his fault receivers can't catch |
| mcdawg1 |
Besides Winslow and Rogers, does anyone else deserve
a gameball? Sad day when Dave Zastudil gets the 3rd gameball, reminds me
of the times when Chris Gardocki was team MVP. |

Romeo Crennel x 1000 |
| coguarddawg |
Accomplished nothing in the pre-season other than
injuring stars. Totally unprepared for week one! |
| naxos |
DA looked bad but RAC was gutless not going for it in
the 4th, but really the Defense as a whole just blew. |
| siouxdawg |
Aikman and Buck could not have possibly been more
blatantly biased. How many times does Wimbley get tackled without
getting a call? Crennel didn't have the guys ready to go. Kicking a give
up FG doesn't exactly inspire the troops to put in any effort.......what
a bum |
| idahobrownie |
Thanks for trading the draft for the same old defense |
| barrymcbride |
The Browns defensive secondary was overmatched all
day... why were the Browns so sanguine after the loss of Holly? Travis Daniels... Terry Cousin... puh-leeeeeze. He who hesitates is lost. We
lost. |
| wrobo |
Kicking a FG down 28-7 late into the game is retarded
(unless you were covering some sort of spread). Ridiculous to not get
ANY pressure on Romo... Who is to blame for not having the team ready to
play week 1? RAC might need to go... |
| bigdaddy78 |
As an organization, this franchise is in disarray.
They know they suck, so they play that way. Blame anyone, they are all
deserving. |
| alamodawg1 |
Romeo -- have some nads and go for it instead of
kicking a fg -- where is the fire and leadership! |
| czarayn |
Isn't it time to send Romeo the way of Charlie Frye
and bring in a completely new and competent coaching staff? And I think
it's also time for Savage to ship out. What a disgusting display! Just
think of the horrific embarrassment we fans face knowing this team has 5
nationally televised games. |
| other bjk |
Hey Randy - Why spend all that money on training
camp? If the team isn't going to prepare, let them work out on their
own, and just stroll in a week ahead of time. Same difference |
| ikoiko |
A pathetic display by our defense, Romeo calling for
the FG was idiotic, especially since he didn't go for a subsequent
on-sides kick. |
| salemdog |
Crennel- what a coaching mind. "I wanted points on
the board, If we didn't make it where would we be?"I would have given
goathorns to the pass rush, but it's hard to blame something that
doesn't exist. |
| sactribe |
They played today, right?? |
| brownzjunky |
Hey I know. We're only down 21 and haven't moved the
ball all day or been able to stop their offense so ... let's kick a
field goal! |
| pomeroy |
Team is totally unprepared and living off last
season's 10-6 record. If Romeo does not have them ready to play
Pittsburgh next week, it will be an extremely long season. |
| bulldogdad |
Mel Tucker: very vanilla and uninspired first half.
The "D" played with some fire the 2nd half, but you have to come out of
the gate with fire. Chud: some very questionable play calling; i.e. low-pctg.
plays on 3rd and short. Braylon, you couldn't catch a cold today: just
one horn because you are out of shape from the injury. |
| buckscobrownsfan |
We need to pick-up Lito Sheppard and Ty Law to stop
the bleeding in the secondary. If Crennel can't get this team prepared
and ready to play on Sundays, not only will the Browns not make the
playoffs this season, yet again; but Crennel will be canned after this
year. |
| 80sboy |
About what I expected with what we have, and that's
not taking anything away from 99% of the players. |
| brett |
Phil Savage should be added to the list. |
| dhohenshil |
Romeo did not have his team ready again, How many
years in a row?? |
| brownseastcoast |
Byalon Edwards should give us back salary cap room so
we can get Ty Law. |
| naplesrbr |
The Defense was as impotent as the 2,000 year old man
bedore viagra. |
| bundydawg |
for doing nothing about the totally untalented
d-backs on this team. I would have much rather had a solid corner than
Corey Williams, who was a total waste of a 2nd round pick. |
| ashvilledawg |
These guys sucked bad. If this is an improved D-line,
we're screwed 3 ways to Sunday. |
| chefeman17 |
Braylon for not catching, Stallworth for be hurt
again, already, and Romeo for the team not being ready to play AGAIN! |
| jaw1dawg |
The whole stinking team as far as I am concerned.
What a freakin joke that game was. No pressure, no coverage, no
tackling, no offense. They are going to get killed next week |
| apvic |
its time for old & very slow McGinest to retire...
and when you go, take the worthless piece of crap D'Qwell Jackson with
you... did he make any tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage ???
what a pu$$y !!!! I'm thinking cut Braylon some slack because of his
injury until I saw him getting on Anderson.. get real!!!! you sucked
today... you dropped all the balls...and they were your
penalties...whine.... whine... I am so frickin disappointed in Edwards.. |
| manoafats |
The offenise was just a step behind the defense..no
penalties in the 1st half made up for in the 2nd |
| floucka |
0-1 yet again. If being like the Cowboys is what the
Browns are striving for they have a ways to go. |
| phelix17 |
Romeo does not have these guy ready to play.
Pittsburgh is going to beat us like step-children, again. |
| appraiser |
Not a good game. Not prepared. Can a linebacker make
a play? Why kick a field goal in the 4th - continuation of pre-season
practice? Braylon seemed to bring the offense down. |
| thedietz |
You need a TD RAC, big choke |
| jaztip |
Put 8 defensive backs on the field because our
linebackers are just not getting it done.The linebackers as a group are
too often out of position or when in position are just plainly beaten at
the point. |
| ndegrands |
Savage for not recognizing that more help is needed
and Tucker for not being prepared for a premium attack. |
| livedoctor |
Once again this team was completely unprepared and
out coached. Mel Tucker has no business being a defensive coordinator in
the NFL. Where's Todd Grantham??? |
| vintage74 |
Another year, new line, still can't stop the run or
the pass or anything else. Hey Phil...you better give Ty Law a call,
unless you plan on giving up 300+ through the air every week. I don't
think Travis Daniels is gonna be the answer big guy. RAC...pathetic
opening day effort once again. Congrats. Way to not get the team
motivated to play. |
| 92noheart |
I think we're in for a long season with this
secondary. Our D-line looked slow and tired during the game. I hope
those trades doesn't cost Phil Savage his job because I like him a lot
as out GM. |
| kosar1985 |
Pathetic defensive effort |
| fanofbrwns |
This team is a PAPER TIGER! This time we blame
everybody but the players! The ushers at the stadium, parking lot
attendants, beer vendors, don't forget the ticket takers! We will blame
everybody who tries to take my money for this farce of a team, lol!! We
still got tomorrow, we'll go 15-1!!! |
| thehollismaniac |
Dropped passes by Edwards, no pass rush, poor
coverage by the LBs and secondary, and the inability to stop the run.
Defense couldnt get a stop in 1st half and the offense never got into a
rhythm after the TD drive. The muffed snap was aggravating, as were Joe
Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth spouting their man love for everything
dallas did. |
| nybiggdawg |
Stallworth is a useless member of this team. Has done
nothing."0".Getting hurt in warm-ups is sad, pathetic. BEdwards eally
showed lack of concentration, focus, maturity. Practice time missed was
sooo obvious. OL-men must have been reading their PRE-season clippings,
Dallas DL ate their lunch. Shaun Rogers a beast, rest of DL easily
handled. Romo had ALL DAY. |
| stimp |
Did not hear Williams' name all day. Kamerion Wimbley
is built like a WR... what is he 220 #'s? Defense is awful. Bill Cowher
anyone? |
| mrgrinch |
same old romeo... don't bother getting the team ready
to play |
| mfabrams |
Braylon - Great receivers catch the ball, including
the basic passes.
Romeo - You're down by 21 points and you kick the field goal. I'd rather
see the team go for it to show they have a desire to win. The attitude
needs to be adjusted to having faith in your players. |
| grsychckn |
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman reported that D'Qwell
Jackson was yelling at the secondary to stop someone? How about he fill
a hole or make a play for something other than a penalty... |
| climberbrown |
the coaching staff must have no testicles. Going for
a field goal to keep it a 3 possession game when it ALREADY WAS A 3
POSSESSION GAME was the stupidest thing they could have done. |
| b0wman |
4th and 3, down by 25 and you take the FG??? |
| shrooney |
Save the opening drive that was a pitiful display...
we are no where near a playoff contender |
| rainesghost |
They had to stretch Romo's legs on the sideline, as
he didn't need to use them all day. |
| losangelesdawg |
Either we're not that good, or we are a little better
than an average team that will get beat by a superior team. I understand
injuries take a major toll on a team, but our backups sure were not up
to the task. I'm most disappointed in Braylon. If he wants to be in the
upper echelon of receivers, he CANNOT drop balls. |
| gregtng |
The Play Speaks for itself |
| tisone |
This team was not ready to play. Braylon looked like
the 2006 BRAYLON and not the 2007 Braylon.
Romeo again, did not have this team ready to play on opening day. No
excuse for that, injuries and all. Defense still sucks, and the offense
will have to carry us again this year. |
| caryncbrownsbacker |
The defensive backfield and the offense that laid an
egg. |
| dawgdc |
Mike Adams for allowing TO to not be covered on his
first touchdown pass. Romeo for having no balls on 3rd 2 the start of
the second half and not having this team prepared. Andra Davis for
watching Romo's eyes and dropping and interception matterfact the whole
Linebacking crew for sucking!!!! Braylon for dropping everything today |
| dawged |
goathorns for myself, for watching this crap each
year |
| mmmbrowns |
The name on the door is Cleveland, so the entire city
gets the goat horns. |
| eisman |
The defense was gored today. Kicking a field goal
when you are down by 21? |
| brownsfan1313 |
I guess Mel Tucker really did show his defense in the
preseason, it just happens to be vanilla. |
| three sewers gone |
Romeo must go! He will not take this team to the
promised land. |
| fladawg1 |
LBs showed when they wanted to, but most just didn't
show at all.
DL, will we ever be able to pressure an opposing QB consistently, or at
least once in awhile?
RAC grow some balls, 4th & 3 down 21 points, 4 minutes left and you
choose to kick a FG? |
| dawgedue |
Braylon.... we expect better
Defense... sucked
Romeo... I'm sick of the flat play and looking at your apathy on the
sideline |
| harpster |
The team was flat. Do they really WANT to win? Note
to Troy - It's STEVE FRIKKIN SANDERS... we understand you are a Cowboys
fan but at least learn the opposing team roster. |
| spicydeigo |
Just sick to watch. They better bring there lunch
pals and be ready to play mext week. |
| number1brownsfan |
Edwards for dropping 4 passes, all Def Backs (even
though there was next-to-no pass-rush), and a Extra-Big-Fat goat-horn
for bringing the most pathetic 3-4 defense I've ever seen. |
| josh19 |
Romeo is an idiot and should be fired. He is the
worst in-game coach and time manager of all time, time to go. |
| benbenbenbenben |
get rid of him before he tries for another field goal
down by 21 with 10 minutes left on 4th & 3 with only one time out left.
What more is there to say? The guy is an idiot |
| ctownsouth |
Hey, down 28 to 7, lets kick a field goal. If I was
Lerner I would have Bill Cower on speed dial. I dont want to here, well
we just wanted to get some points out of the drive. YOU PLAY TO WIN. I
thought that was the object of the football game or any sport. |
| chidawg |
I'll refrain from swearing at the secondary, but it
is difficult to refrain from swearing at the @^*%%^ pass rush. I hope BE
learned that the team issues shoes for a reason and gets back up to
speed in a hurry. It would be nice to see RC play to win for once. |
| atldawg725 |
Gene Upshaw had a better game today |
| pittspukestoolerz |
orange and brown glasses wearing freaky Browns fans |
| hpschlos |
The inside linebackers missed tackles, missed pass
deflections, missed interceptions. Also, Sean Jones was nowhere to be
seen when we needed him the most. |
| dawghowl |
Braylon: wow what an awful game he played, quite
possibly his worst as a pro. His head wasnt even in the game, 4 drops
and 2 penalties. I know he has been out and that he wasnt quite in game
shape yet, but he is a pro bowler and I expect alot more then that out
of him.
Romeo Crennel: Kicking a fg down 28-7? what kind of garbage is that? He
did not act like he was into this game. And it felt like he didnt
believe the team had a chance to win this game from the start.
Entire Defense: Just pathetic, very little pressure on Romo, none at all
in the first half. LBs were out of position all day and the DBs couldnt
cover anyone |
| dawgshelter |
You need more than 3 for the goathorns this week.
ZastDUDil deserves an award as well. |
| gammadawg |
It's the NFL, not a country club. Make these
Millionaire punks eat gruel. |
| springsdawg |
We need one experienced starting corner. We can't go
on like this. Terrible game planning from the coaches. Too many arm
tackles from the LB's except Wimbley. |
| lr44k |
plenty to go around but BE gets the whole bag. a
stinking fg |
| karelnemecek |
Its gonna be a long year--OL got beat off almost
every snap; they were either pushed back or unable to open holes for the
RBs. DL got beat/pushed back off almost every snap. Everyone knows games
are won & lost in the trenches. What the heck was Sean jones doing out
there. Mike Adams should have been covering Witten. Edwards gets a
little pass because he just returned. Where was the game planning by
Crennel and Tucker. Savage had better skip to plan "B" and look for help
at DB and pass rush. We are missing Ryan Tucker badly. There's a
thousand lbs on the d-line that just got man-handled every which way
possible. |
| mtsames |
#52 #20 and #17 Edwards really sucks ,Adams can't
cover and Jackson can't tackle. |
| silly5 |
Edwards makes some catches and it may be a different
game. He must of thought he was playing OSU again. Williams has shown a
thing. DB's can't cover anyone. All Dallas receivers were able to get
separation at will. |
| brownsfan1 |
they were outcoached at all levels. |
| amp4319 |
DQwell Jackson was a non factor in the game i dont
remember seeing him make any plays out there.
Crennel needs to stop being afraid to lose. |
| chowdogg |
medical staff for sidelining Cribbs
Our linebackers suck...wimbley, JQ, Davis, williams
Edwards for suiting up he was worthless
Stalworth for pulling a groin...I swear i saw him running pretty fast
WITHOUT a limp 40 mins before game time, he must be really fast when his
groin does't hurt |
| glennchannell |
Crennel deserves the biggest set of horns. While the
team played poorly in the first half, the defense showed some signs of
life and was playing with a lot more emotion until RAC called for the
FG. At that point, the entire team seemed to deflate since the head
coach had apparently given up. |
| playbrowns |
Braylon looked like absolute scUM.
Stallworth had a groin injury because he lost his nuts right before game
time.
Romeo should be ashamed of how bad his defenses have been in Cleveland.
This entire organization is a faulty unit. |
| owlnawndow |
Lerner for hiring Crennel. Crennel for, well, being
Crennel. Edwards for a horrible game. Goathorns to the decision to kick
that field goal and to the secondary. Travis Wilson for being a waste of
a third round pick and not even making the team this year. |
| confuseddog |
Romeo's wonderful FG! |
| oldeguarde |
D. Jackson, 8 solo T's but every time something
really bad happened it looked like he wiffed the play.
M. Tucker. How many times must your blitz be burned before you flood the
zones?
B. Edwards, hands of stone. |
| ezmoover |
Romeo Crennel Must Get The Hell Out Of Cleveland Now! |
| deathorglorie |
Why kick that field goal to take it from a 3 score
diff to a 3 score diff |
| predator94warrior |
The penalties on McDonald were horrible calls ,Romeo
also needs to grow a pair , what good does 3 points do in that
situation??????????????? |
| dapound |
Wimbley is too high a pick not to make a difference
on defense.
I was shocked by the play of Braylon.
He obviously did not have his head in the game.
I am beginning to think RAC might not be a good fit for this team. I
like him as a person but his coaching is troublesome. Too many times we
don't go for it on 4rth down plus many other questionable calls. |
| browndawgsteve |
B. Edwards - I know he didn't play much in the
preseason but he gets paid to preform and he messed up all over
yesterday.
Entire Defense - Could stop the run or the pass. Could have given Tony a
lawnchair and mixed drink back there
Tucker - Back to the drawing board my good man.
Crennel - Way are we going for 3 down by 21? Our team needed a boost and
this way a way to get it. FAILURE |
| indianzimm |
Mike Adams-I could be him in a race. slow, sloow.
sllooww... |
| vadawglb |
Same old problems look like they still haven't been
fixed; no pressure on QB, Opposing receivers running wide open, No
continuity on offense. |
| mistofdeath |
Where's the D!If they dont get there @#$ in gear (and
after the return of the browns to cleveland you know they wont) the
pigburg squealers we run for 500 yards against us maybe in the first
half.Was thinking it's just preseason ....Romeo is not giving away
anything .......Sunday wasnt the preseason and we looked the pop warner
lower grade team.The coaching was well FUBAR down by 3 sores so kick a
field goal to keep us down by 3 scores.What a long strange trip it's
been. |
| poqdawg |
Romeo, why go for three when your down 28 to 7?
Because you have no confidence in your team! |
| froggy60 |
Where is the pass rush???????? |
| dawgonit0207 |
Way to go Braylon. This could have been a different
game if you could CATCH the friggin ball. Romeo, down by 21 and you kick
a field goal. WTF! |
| brownsclown |
Picking any individual defensive players would be
unfair. The whole defense was bad, all three levels. Mel Tucker had no
answers to even slow Dallas down. Romeo is the Head Coach, a defensive
background, and it really ends up reflecting on him. Only way to go is
up. |
| muddydawg67 |
Like JT wrote: Down by 21 with 10 minutes to play and
you kick a field goal?!?!?!? Steve Martin once joked that he liked to
punt on first down. I'm thinking Steve and Crennel are from the same
coaching tree. |
| dawgpoundr |
I know at one point in the first half I saw Tony Romo
doing needlepoint and yawning in the pocket while he waited for his
receivers to come open. |
| smokeymule |
Stone hands (Northcutt) err Edwards needs to get some
stickum. |
| vandalfan11 |
Our LB's looked totally lost
Corners got burned and Saftey's were a mile a way on every hit
EDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| brownsfanmn13 |
MY GOD, Crennel, you SUCK!!!! Going for a field goal
in the 4th quarter on a 4th and 3???? I can see why the players love
playing for you, you put NO accountablility on them.. Edwards should
have been benched for a rookie but you left him in there.
Mel Tucker, I think you should stick to DB and we should see if Grantham
can come back. How about showing some blitzes that work?!?!
Again, Crennel has a team that showed now emotion or fire (like their
coach). How many more years must we see this kind of play?? |
| dawggone11 |
Worst two safties in the league. Even when we did get
pressure, Tony Homo knew Whitten would be open what with these two
clowns chasing him around. Terrible. It looked like Crennel decided
before the game that we couldn't win, and that's how the team presented
itself. |
| outlawjessej |
...gotta blame sombody else |
| dirtydave98 |
That was worst than last years day 1 beat down by the
steelers. expected a much better performance from the team. What a let
down. Who do we trade Anderson to on Tuesday?? Worked last year! |
| newjerzedawg |
I would put the whole defense but Shaun Rogers showed
up, even though everyone around him didn't, so I'll just go with the LB
unit, Tucker, and Crennel |
| jaybern53 |
kicking a field goal , down by 21 with 10 minutes to
go.Please don't ever do that again. |
| tromick1 |
We have the very worst ILB's in the league. No
pressure on blitzes and completely clueless on stopping the run. Jackson
and Davis are both to slow of foot and too slow reacting to plays. They
both need to be replaced next year! |
| dawgnuts1 |
Braylon - made multiple rookie-like drops, not good
enough for a pro bowl receiver; entire defense - from this point on,
i'll refer to them as "charcoal"; all coaches - nothing like having the
team ready to play; also, thanks Savage - i'm sure glad we got rid of
all those meaningless draft picks to obtain a valuable pass rush. |
| sindustmark |
How does a flag not get called when Henry punched DA
in the head!!! CMON!!!!
K2 was hit in the face and they dont call that. Im getting sick of
seeing a penalty on us somewhere down the field whenever we get a sack,
Why does that happen every year?! We NEVER get a clean sack! The refs
say, "oh well its Cleveland so if they did something good, we better
remind them who they are and give a BS penalty! Hardy Har Har!" F that |
| muskiebuck |
Our inside LB's were pathetic. Edwards should have
continued his nap. And my write in candidate Cameron Wimbley now looks
to be a first round mistake. Showed me nothing in this game. Forget
about the fact that we don't have another pass rusher. he still showed
me nothing. |
| hatchccc |
Romeo Crennel for the "we're not trying to win" field
goal. |
| clevelandfan |
All Coaches - Something is seriously wrong when this
team comes out as flat as it did for opening day.
Braylon Edwards - Look, I understand the guy was hurt (all his own
fault, btw), but when the ball hits your hands, you have NO excuse to
not catch it.
Entire Offense - no push, very little protection, very little fire, this
needs to change NOW!
Entire Team - Come on guys, you're paid very well to play this game,
come out with some heart! |
| clevthom |
Romeo, way to wave the white flag and teach your team
to be quitters. Even a eight year old playing Madden knows you go for it
when your down 3 touches with only 10 minutes to play. |
| snagdawg |
Braylon needs to go back to training camp and start
over. |
| avonlakebacker73 |
field goal? punting at mid field when we only need 2
yards, down by 20+ |
| djw333 |
The DBs left little hope for the season, RAC's FG
call was awful, and Braylon should be embarrassed. |
| 64superfan |
Braylon Edwards should just shut up and play. He was
TERRIBLE!!!!!! |
| 29turner |
Troy and Buck can spit the cowgirls D out now that
the game is over. Totally unfair for these two to announce a dallas game
to a national audience. Well, unless your a cowgirl fan that is. |
| spark0269 |
Overall the whole time stunk |
| jaymesbawned |
gutless plays. Idiot announcers tearing browns apart
for not getting a pass rush when only bringing 3... |
| tomahawkdawg |
BE - Too many critical drops.
Defense - WTF? I know Dallas has a good offense but you looked like an
AFL defense out there.
Mel - Need to work on them coverage schemes, coach. Despite being
out-talented, having your players in the right positions and making the
right reads will keep your secondary from getting burnt.
Deployment - This will be my last GB&GH of the season...I was able to
catch part of the 1st quarter before leaving to return to JAX to prepare
for my deployment this week. Sure hope those DVDs of the future games
have more to offer than the sorry effort this past Sunday. |
| dixiedawg |
Didn't we trade away early draft picks to shore up
the defense? 500+ yards is pathetic. |
| iwillpierceyou |
Why is this team never ready to play? Romeo needs
goathaorns for every game this team show up unprepared. What a joke. |
| bigfwee |
Donte for pulling up lame. Braylon for not wearing
shoes after practice. |
| sawthewarin64 |
Braylon needs to stop running his yap and catch
balls!! Awful effort... consider an hour a day with the juggs. |
| smithlel |
Willie needs to sit next to Jim Brown for the
remainder of the season. |
| jasonallen |
Andra Davis is the worst middle linebacker is the
league.
the 3-4 defense. Hey Romeo, when you have better DLs than LBs you change
your scheme to account for that. |
| sawthewarin64 |
Romeo you once again did not have the team prepared
to play. High school team coaches do a better job of getting plays
called and managing a game. |
| sawthewarin64 |
Inside linebackers were TERRIBLE! As soon as Beau Bell is healthy, stick him in there, he can't be any worse than the
little guy and the old man |
| keith322 |
Edwards had better games his rookie year.
The defense was terrible.
The offense was terrible. |
| manoafats |
Now we know Romeo has Dawson in FF league
Edwards hands |
| wmbrowns0120 |
This was almost as depressing as last years opener. I
didn't really think we were going to win, but to lose the way we did was
embarassing. When is Braylon going to learn to catch the ball when he's
wide open!! The whole team looked dazed and showed no heart or passion! |
| clevelandcraig |
Wow just wow. |
| cav50 |
injured again! |
| lkounto |
Goat horns to D'Qwell Jackson. At the goal line he
slipped off the running back trying to tackle Marion Barber.The lineman
did their job (R.Smith)and absorbed the offensive block; awful tackling.
Say what you want about Andra Davis, but Leon Williams just can't play.
If you watch the replay, watch how Williams gets botched up with his own
players, and is slowed down by taking lousy angles to the ball; he just
doesn't see where the play is going.
Mel Tucker: Nice debut as DC. Last season certain players bitched about
how Graham (former DC) misaligned the safeties and put players in the
wrong positions to make plays. Well I don't hear anyone complimenting
Tucker today. Where were the safeties to support T.O.'s touchdown catch?
Isn't that the DC's job? Did the timing on the blitz look a little
predictable? Well it did to the fans and more importantly to Romo. He is
a work in progress, and Pittsburg knows that too.
Rob Chudzinski: I understand that Dallas has a very good d-line and that
Fraley was challenged on virtuly every play by the nose tackle, but Chud
needed to help the line out. With the exception of a screen called early
in the 1st or 2nd series, I don't remember a screen called the rest of
the game. Aren't screens designed to slow the rush? What about a trick
play? We saving those for Pittsburg? Are you holding back and not
showing your hand? I mean really, that game was not well called. I
understand that the line did not do a great job run blocking, but heck
they were fighting for their lives in pass blocking. Chud you're an old
blocking tight end, think how you can SLOW DOWN THE STEELERS, because
you are going to get more of the same. |
| thejamdawg |
Hey Romeo! Nice display of quiting with 10:15 left in
the game when you went for the useless field goal. It's now official:
The Dallas Cowboys have the biggest group of bandwagon jumping front
runner fans in all of sports. I seriously doubt that any of them who
were in Cleveland were actually from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico or
Arkansas. At least at Indians-Yankees Games in Cleveland, I've met
Yankees Fans who actually are from New York or New Jersey. |
| crapchesterdawg |
Having his pro Dallas point of view along with the
beating on the field, I don't think I could handle much more!! Terrible
on all accounts!! |
| mdr |
I guess the coaching staff forgot that this was a
regular season game, and that this one counted.
Braylon - how much is he paid? All he has to do is 1 thing - catch the
ball. It's not rocket science.
Frayley - blown up all day - Can tucker play center? Is Bentley still
available?
Jessica Simpson for not showing up and getting camera time. I could have
used some eye candy, since what I saw on the field was making my eyes
hurt. |
| ihatebutch |
RAC, this game proves that you do not have the
ability to prepare a team for the rigors of a season. I wish you no ill,
but you need to be removed from HC duties. Poor decision making on your
part(a fg on 4 down trailing by 21?!)AND by the players (letting Witten
waltz off the line uncovered) shows that any knowledge you have of this
game is not being utilzed when it counts by coach and players alike. I
am tired of this crap! Every year, it is the same, we come back here, we
focus all of our frustration on someone, wait for the problem to be
resolved and pin my hope towards next year. CAN ANYONE FIX THIS? |
| pea1971 |
its a joke watching edwards trying to justify
dropping 4 balls thats just bullsh*t |
| sg2431 |
Another opener has come and gone with the same old
result, another blowout.
Then again, why should things be different? Its the same useless
defense.
Whats the old saying, "the true meaning of insanity is doing something
over and over and expecting a different result?"
Sounds like RAC's 3/4 |
| deathbyeagle |
Defense!! Can't stop the run, can't stop the pass and
can't put any pressure on QB---Other than that they are great ;)
--Was Romeo playing the point spread on that Field goal??? |
| houndfromhell |
The good news is people now say we wont
win any games. But I know we can be if
they try extra hard 3 and 13.. go browns? |
| rbj40 |
Pursuant to preseason, Crennel did not have his team
ready to play! |
| thapymp |
Braylon: Rusty and out of synch. Needed to be wearing
shoes three weeks ago when running after parctice.
McDonald: I had a lot of faith in McD when he made a few good plays and
a INT or two. And he looked good in the preseason but he got burnt more
times than a 60 year old hippie.
Romeo: Romeo where for art thou confidence Romeo? or balls or
comprehension of the fact that if we could only score 7 points thru 3
quarters then how could we score TDs on three more possessions after the
field goal in the fourth. Taking a field goal on the 4th down and 3 in
the fourth quarter felt like padding the loss. I felt we lost all
momentum that might have been gained and it really raised questions in
my mind about Crennel's ability. Hope he proves me wrong. |
| rutger |
Romeo, (you have to be kidding me? This is how you
prepare for EVERY opener and kicking a friggin' FG??? Once again are you
kidding me???), plus the entire defense and Edwards for sure. Worse
games he's ever played in a Cleveland uniform. After that effort he has
no-where to go put up.
And I thought that Ted Washington was gone? It looks like we have an
entire defensive line of slow fat guys now! Maybe alternating four guys
that all weigh in at 320 min. isn't such a good idea after all?
Randy was pissed? Well obviously not enough because Romeo still has a
job! |
| taipeidawg |
Romeo, don't kick a field goal in that situation -
have some guts and go for the first down. Better to go down swinging!!
Last season running over the left side of the line would just about
guarantee some yardage, but in this game I thought Chud tried to run
over the left side too many times before realizing it just wasn't going
to happen and trying something different.
Note to Braylon - catch the ball!! |
| mmercurio88 |
Lil' Sav show is getting old. He's mortgaged the farm
for one shot...and THIS defense is it? He and Professor Klump must go!
The genius of Romeo is the same as the genius of Charlie Weiss! Way to
go for that FG, Romeo. I almost miss Butch (not really). |
| brbbva |
There were a lot of a**hole fans out and about. Very
embarrassing. |
| mtsames |
Mike Adams for giving a helping hand to Marion
Barber. What a chump!!!!!!!!!! Why is Willie McGinest still playing to
old and to slow |
| adamkilgore |
for going into "sphincter tightening mode" a week
early as opposed to making us wait until the Pittsburgh game to see our
team become completely inept - I look forward to an exciting first half
followed by a complete meltdown in the second half against Pitt. |
| vdubble |
Romeo this team was not ready to compete from the
opening gun. I know about the injuries but that isn't what bothers me.
The first half we got downright bullied. |
| jmiller40 |
Was that Derek or is Charlie back in town??
Donte who....same thing new location. |
| cashmoney216 |
Romeo MUST GO!!! Stallworth is a girl!!! |
| alfraggs |
team seemed to be totally unprepared |
| mcdawg1 |
I'm sure it's pretty cliche, but "I wish I had more
than 3 choices". Let's not forget about the horrendous day Hank Fraley
had, because he was the biggest culprit for a lot of the offensive woes. |
