Again gone for a few.
Between work and not much to write,I took a few off.
The Cleveland Browns used a career long 56 yard field goal by Phil Dawson and a wide right attempt by Buffalo's Rian Lindell with just seconds to go to escape a cold night in Buffalo with a 29-27 win.
Belated Brownie Bits
1) Romeo Crennel was quite animated on the sidelines late in the game.
Perhaps the fact of the Browns dodging a dubious history made his day.
Had the Browns lost,they would have become the first team in NFL history to have lost 13 point lead in three consecutive games......
2) At this point,Phil Dawson might be the Browns MVP for the season and certainly for this game-5 for 5 with the game winning 56 yard boot.
3) Brady Quinn was far from great(185 yards,0 td,0 int),but he was able to avoid the big mistake and that was the difference between Quinn and Buffalo starter Trent Edwards.
4) Anyone catch the look on Crennel on Jerome Harrison's 72 yard TD run?
It looked more like Harrison was scoring for Buffalo!
Romeo,do you hate this guy that much even when he scores???
5) Brady Quinn has a hairline fracture in his right index finger,but will play on Sunday against Houston.
My question is if Quinn struggles with the injury,will the hook be a quick one for Derek Anderson and then use the injury as an excuse for doing so?
6) Kellen Winslow is questionable for the Texans game with an injured shoulder.
Winslow missing the game would be a huge loss for the already hampered Quinn with the injury of his own.
7) Give the Browns defensive line some credit against the Bills.
They were in Trent Edwards face all game and it wasn't always Shaun Rogers either!
8) Cleveland has a slim playoff hope,but slim has almost left town.
They almost have to sweep the final six games or a minimum go 5-1 and get A LOT of help.
9) I liked the play of Charles Ali at fullback in place of the injured Lawrence Vickers.
10) With the Houston Texans coming to town,look for a shootout in Cleveland.
If the defense can post a average performance,the Browns should win..
The New Jersey Devils return to action tonight against the Florida Panthers after being off since Saturday's win over Washington...
Until tomorrow
