Travis Coons booted four field goals for the Browns points in a game that saw five trips to the red zone result in four field goals and an interception.
The Browns finish 3-13 (as we predicted) and will pick second in the NFL Draft in April...
Brownie Bits
1) I'm not going to get into the game too much,but I'll give the Browns this much and boy do I HATE using this term-they battled.
Outmanned and outgunned,they did play hard and didn't roll over in a game that meant nothing to them and everything to Pittsburgh.
Wow.
2) That said,the Browns forced three turnovers and came away with next to nothing to show for it.
You want to pull upsets? You need to take every advantage and they just didn't.
3) The one highlight was the terrific interception return by Craig Robertson,who made the Steelers look silly as he eluded them like Tanner Boyle making the cops miss in the Bad News Bears in Breaking Training.
Sadly,he only brought the ball to the Pittsburgh five and on this day,if the Browns were going to hit the endzone,the defense was going to have to do it...
4) Austin Davis didn't have much time to throw,but he still gets an F to me.
5) For all the B.S. about Mike Pettine throwing it all out there and becoming Riverboat Pettine in a desperate stand against a superior force,that became very apparent early on ( other than one first quarter fourth down attempt )that wasn't going to happen-nothing ventured,nothing gained...
6) Terrelle Pryor made one big play that likely got him a training camp spot from someone as he went over the top of a Pittsburgh corner for a 42 yard gain and just took the ball away.
That play will get him a contract somewhere next year.
Just a shorter version than normal-Check the Podcast for more thoughts and I'll be working another post for today or tomorrow on the firings of Mike Pettine and Ray Farmer with the ridiculous ideas of the process of rebuilding the front office.
