wow... this thread hasn't had much activity this season... where's all the passionate Browns fans?

well at least i got to see the televised game today. quietest crowd i've ever seen and for good reason. that was the most boring game ive watched this year. the browns d and special teams are ok, but the o is really raw.

you'll prob get some passion in the next few games if and when the boo birds come out.

incredibly, you're correct... I just assumed these were small Ohio towns of the same name. I wonder why Jamestown and Rochester stations would broadcast games of the distant Cleveland Browns... when they are in the heart of Buffalo Bills country, who have a strong and passionate following... surely broadcasts of the woeful faraway Browns don't bring in very strong ratings for these stations...

That Rochester station also broadcasts Baltimore Orioles games. Western NY has no MLB team of its own... and the Rochester Red Wings have long been the AAA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles (they're now the AAA affiliate of the Minnesota Twins). I've heard the Orioles have a pretty decent following in Rochester.

The Browns looked horrible. There is no way to sugar coat the issue, they are just terrible. The city looked nice on TV though.

I went to my first game at the new stadium. Its pretty nice. The Browns suck, but the stadium is nice.

?? In comparison to the old lady on the lake (built in 1936), CBS is new.

UncleRando · « **Reply #111 on:** October 23, 2006, 02:10:57 AM »

^true, it is newer than the "old lady" but I was more so referring to it as being open the past 7 years for operation now. I think that the stadium has been broken in by now, and would just be referred to as the stadium rather than the *new* stadium.

just a minor observation of mine...take it or leave it

Once in a blue moon (maybe two or three times since their return) we get to see them on TV in So Flo. The autumn shots of the city were beautiful and it was cool to the see the new windmill next door at the GLSC as part of the backdrop.

As for the Browns, well, they suck!

Map Boy · « **Reply #113 on:** October 23, 2006, 11:45:15 AM »

Sure do! I was there yesterday too. I've never had seats that good, but to see what? Garbage! I'm thinking back now and can't remember seeing them win a game at the "new" stadium in person. Question: how many home games have they won since coming back into the league?

Interesting site for ya'll: http://www.firemauricecarthon.com/home.htm

Map Boy · « **Reply #114 on:** October 23, 2006, 12:02:03 PM »

Ok, I'm a nerd, so I'll answer my own question...

We've been back in the league since 1999.

We've won 37 games in that span of time, which averages out to about 5 wins per season and a .314 winning percentage.

18 of those wins were at home and 19 were away.

We've averaged 15.7 points per game over that span of time, which means a lot of really boooooring, low scoring losses!

I mean, I could live with an 0-16 season if every game was like that 48-58 loss to the Bungles in 2004! Actually, that'd probably drive me crazy too, but it'd be a helluva lot more fun!

So is it time to start thinking about next years draft yet?

jamiec · « **Reply #116 on:** October 23, 2006, 02:43:53 PM »

My family has never been into sports. I think it goes back to my grandpa. I remember being at his house on a Sunday afternoon, and Bernie Kosar threw an incomplete pass into the ground.

"What a bunch of bums!" He crowed. I think he watched a play a week.

Pretty much...and now we can add a cornerback to the list of "needs". Baxter might be done for good with two blown patellar tendons.

3231 · « **Reply #118 on:** October 24, 2006, 01:54:04 AM »

Carthon has been fired. I fully expect the offense to become the best unit in the league now.

The PD said something about the good ol' Ignatius boy LeCharles Bentley coming down with a staph infection. Sure hope he's ok.

JDD941 · « **Reply #119 on:** October 28, 2006, 02:40:06 AM »

Okay...I will take the heat for this one...BUT......
The Browns aren't as bad as people may think. We have weapons, we have experience..there are a few parts that need to be plugged in, but overall...they aren't that bad...and yes..even the O line! People need to realize that a decent lineman in a poor blocking scheme makes him look bad. When a coach impliments certain plays or schemes (a la Carthon) and won't listen to his players concerns, bad things happen. Not quite the same level, but when I was in school, my class lost 2 football games from 7th grade to 10th grade....the HS coach left to move up to the college level...my final 2 years we won a total of 4 games...against mostly the same teams we beat the sh!t out of all those other years. Did we suddenly become terrible, or did coaching have a lot to do with it? Point being, I think the Browns are closer than people realize. Don't expect HUGE changes this week against the Jets, but I think we will see a better team as the season goes on.

Map Boy · « **Reply #120 on:** October 28, 2006, 04:27:52 AM »

I think there's a lot to be said for having the same core unit for more than a season. In addition to coaching, team chemistry is a big deal. Everyone in the NFL (pretty much) has the talent to be there. It's just a matter of fitting them into the right places and getting them to work well with the guy next to them. I can't help but be optimistic about what the Browns "could" be. I mean, what choice do we have? We can't just give up!

On that note, I'm going to yet another home game tomorrow. Can we break this streak of home losses? It stands at 3.

MyTwoSense · « **Reply #121 on:** October 28, 2006, 04:33:13 AM »

Yes browns. Please win. Or I'll have to hear sh!t around the office until next year!

Maybe thay only lose when you go to a home game.
Weren't you at the St Ed's v St Ig game too?

I'll be at the game as well -- I'm still waiting for my first home game win as a season ticket holder....

As a matter of fact, no I was not!

But that doesn't mean I'm not jinxed...

The Browns have the same record as the Steelers and the Redskins. A thing of beauty.

MyTwoSense · « **Reply #129 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:51:40 AM »

The looked really good in the first half!

They sort of lost momentum, and couldn't score in the red zone, but overall I thought the defense stepped up, the O-Line protected pretty well, and Winslow....well..he's just hella sexy!

wimwar must be talking about the Fantasy League Super Bowl. I love the Browns, but the only way the Browns are getting into the superbowl is if it's a fantasy!

Or they go to Old Country Buffet. They have a delicious super bowl chock full of bacon bits and swiss cheese.

you know....that was a touchdown at the end. you know its true. no question that jets dude woulda had both feet in if he wasn't bashed out of bounds by pool. i'm just sayin...!

Hell yeah. after I saw that I turned, fearful the game would go into OT. Then when I switched back, they said the ref called the play on the field and that it was out of bounds.

Hey....the Brownies got a break....for once!

Map Boy · « **Reply #138 on:** October 30, 2006, 09:49:20 AM »

Well, that's very subjective, which is why it wasn't reviewed. There's no telling whether he would have gotten both feet in bounds or not. It definitely looked possible, but it would've been one helluva catch if he did. As it was, I think we caught a break, but I'm not going to say it was a sure thing!

RiverViewer · « **Reply #139 on:** October 30, 2006, 11:03:33 AM »

I'll say it - it was a sure thing, absolutely no doubt he would have landed in bounds. But I'm happy that if there had to be a bad call, that it went the Browns way, finally!

I think that was the same officialting crew that called the BS roughing call on the Bengals a few weeks back...
