Here's a copy/paste I had to correct from a disgruntled postal...err, Browns fan:
I'm 46 years old and I decided I cannot be a fan any longer. This team has been rebuilding since 1990. I cannot defend why i'm a fan. This sucks and it will suck for years to come.
CORRECTION: Phil Savage has just concluded his second offseason, and had nothing to do with any previous regime. Since his arrival, the roster has turned overand grown younger. I myself have issues with and misgivings about Romeo Crennel, but he's only just arrived! After last season, Savage took over and replaced most of the assistant croni...I mean, coaches.
With Quinn, Winslow, Edwards, Lewis (I hope), Wimbley, the THREE inside backers, all the safeties, Wright, Thomas, Bentley on the way, and a lot of very solid vets and stars-under-construction, you need to be absolutely retarded to declare this newest project, under this new regime, doomed.
There is no day light at the end of the tunnel. There is no tunnel, just tunnel vision by an organization that has no vision.
What the hell does that mean? "Vision"? QUIT WATCHING CHICK-FLICKS! IT'S FOOTBALL!
After 3 weeks,once the season starts they will be out of the running. I'm going to stop because they are not worth my time. Good luck to all who think they will rebound.
This idiot will have one season to pretend he was right. In the AFC North and with their YOUTH, CHANGES, and schedule, it'll be a tough season.
Dude, Butch Davis and the rest of those guys are gone, along with most of their players. They do not even remotely resemble Phil Savage (EdwardsWimbleyJacksonJonesPoolWrightQuinnThomasWilliamsHolly etc.) You're just a dumbass.
YOU STAND CORRECTED.
Everybody is fixating on Frye's two mistakes. The bad pass: ok. The attempt to score the TD rather than throwing it away, I wonder about. I'm disadvantaged by not having seen it, but I do know that if I were him, and thought I could get seven rather than three, I would have tried it!
All this stuff about taking the sure thing is just one theory. My theory is that being up 7 points is better than being up 3, and Frye has some pretty good wheels on him to get a lousy five yards against a spread-out defense.
I can pick on him for oversetimating his chances, but not for making the attempt. It's the same thing that last season made him hold the ball and not get rid of it. He just wants to make the play, and has a hard time giving up on it.
But then there's that negative fixation, which ignores the fact that he completed almost all of his passes and moved the offense up and down the field. The trouble with the 2-minute offense and within the red-zone IS a problem, but certainly Chud's new system and they way he's split time with Anderson are factors in this.
Bernie Kosar said that the Anderson-Frye thing needs to go another week to see what happens before they settle on a starter. He also points out that Frye has about eighteen NFL starts.
I was glad to hear Lewis do some good stuff and catch passes. He, Winslow, and Edwards were yanked early (good idea!), and there was a lot of transition going on. Individuals distinguished themselves.
Harrison didn't suprise me, and shouldn't have suprised you. He won't repeat the mistake of giving up on the bad lateral--gotta watch the fumble thing, of course. Nice blocking! Told ya!
Jason Wright is underrated. Ryan Krauss delivered! Who the hell is this Buck Ortega? What are we gonna do with all these extra tight ends? Somebody will get cut here and go start for somebody else.
Sanders and Mosely did some good stuff there. And Wilson--he made a nice play to make up for his drop, and maybe (MAYBE) the real-game action will help him perform his badly-needed head-extraction. (After all, it appears that Edwards did!) We may be in better shape depth-wise at WR than we'd thought.
The Oline protected well and run-blocked adequately--tough going inside where the stuffages happened. Thomas especially really did great, except for the holding stuff. (#73--musta looked familiar). But Dieken said what do you expect from a brand new rookie, and holding beats the hell out of a smashed QB.
Good point.
Romeo might not be able to screw Eric Wright in favor of a less-effective geezer now.
How bout that wierd defense? Smith and Smith as the only down linemen, then McMillan, Wimbley, and various combos of other guys? (I know I know, McMillan had his hand in the dirt a lot and so must have Wimbley sometimes--what a scary look, though!)
Romeo also couldn't screw Antwan Peek in favor of the older McGinest so much, either, and look what he did. (No issue with McGinest. Guess he was hurt last season, but he's still pretty old, and I want the younger guys to get reps is all.)
Two picks resulting fromm pressure, sacks...didn't like how KC was able to run, of course, but overall it sounded ok.
Please don't tell me it doesn't count or I will find you wherever you are and egg your house. What on earth makes you think that saying obvious stuff like that makes you sound smart?
Well okbye.
