There will be no Seahawks coverage this week for the reason that I am about to write.
If the Browns post is not 100% accurate on a player involved in a play,this reason is why.
I was unable to watch the games on TV due to a few day long satellite issue that is scheduled to be solved today.
With that in mind,I had to watch the games online,which left much to be desired,but did give me something in instead of the nothing that I would have had.
The events of the last few days with television access have been a pain as the Seahawks were missed (because they were playing Washington,I could not watch the game on line and the FOX affiliate was an affected network,the Browns were online and I was forced to watch Ohio State-michigan at Ryan's house (Thanks to Ryan for having Rachel and I),
However,things are not all bad as I will have an exciting announcement to make soon for the blog as a result of the hassle,so be looking for that soon....
Colt McCoy tossed two TD's and one pick in the loss to pace the Cleveland offense in the defeat.
The Browns fall to 4-7 and will host Baltimore next week in a game that has been rescheduled to start at 4:00...
Brownie Bits
1) Greg Little caught his first career touchdown pass,but dropped four passes on the day.
Some of this is that Little has just one year of experience as a receiver entering the year,but it could also be part of being covered by the opponents top cover man.
2) Colt McCoy was solid enough,although his interception was a bad throw on his part.
For the first three quarters,I thought McCoy was having his best game of the season.
3) Peyton Hillis returned to the lineup as he rushed for 65 yards.
Hillis was quite effective running between the tackles,but not so much taking pitches or running off tackle.
Those type of plays are not the Hillis forte and the Browns called far too many for my tastes....
4) Colt McCoy's first quarter TD toss to Jordan Norwood was the first touchdown that the Browns have scored in the opening period all season.
Previously,the Browns had scored just three Phil Dawson field goals.
So much for fast starts...
5) Play of the game other than the A.J. Green catch was another botched field goal attempt.
The Browns decided to roll the dice on Phil Dawson from 55 into the wind with just under two minutes to go.
Not sure I would have made that one,but close enough to really consider.
Ryan Pontibriand then makes a bad snap,Brad Maynard barely gets the ball down and as a result,Dawson has little chance to make the kick.
Not only the miss,the Bengals get great field position for their game winning score...
6) Scott Fujita broke his hand in the game,but has yet to be placed on IR and may attempt to play out the season with a cast.
Tough guy.....
7) Last week,Phil Taylor had a great game,this week it was Jabaal Sheard,who had a sack and a forced fumble.
The Browns are going to have a super game when the week comes that both Taylor and Sheard are on the mark and I bet that next season,the Browns are going be even better on the pass rush side of things...
8) I am somewhat disappointed in the return game from Josh Cribbs.
Cribbs just has not had the season that I had hoped for and it seems that the burst that used to get by defenders around the 30 yard line to break into open field has not been there.
9) Anyone else wonder where Evan Moore has been in the game plan?
Moore's three yard catch yesterday was his first in three games and Moore has disappeared from the offense.
The guy that has the best hands on the team and he is getting no passes thrown to him....
10) Finally,this was a winnable game and I thought the Browns played their hearts out,but this showed the difference in talent that the Browns give away most of the time.
Cleveland's talent pales in comparison to the Bengals,let alone upcoming Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
I see improvement,but more talent is needed through the draft AND free agency,which is a process that the management team thus far has shown an aversion to.
