Week 8 Open Thread: Browns vs. Bears

November 1, 2009 by 82 Comments

November kicks off with supposedly the greatest day in the history of sports television.  All four major sports are on TV, including Favre’s return to Green Bay and a pivotal game 4 of the World Series.

The Browns-Bears game may not be too high on the list of important sports events taking place today but faithful Browns fans will tune in I am sure.  You can find our Friday afternoon preview here.  The Bears are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Bengals and need a win at home after losing the past two weeks to drop to .500 on the season.  Join us in the comments as the Browns look for their first road win of the year heading into the bye week.  Inactives after the jump…

K Phil Dawson is back so Billy Cundiff is inactive.  DB Gerard Lawson, RB Chris Jennings, DB Anthony Madison, G Bill Yates, and both TEs Greg Estandia and Robert Royal are inactive (yikes!).

For the Bears, WRs Juaquin Iglesias and Devin Aromashodu, CB D.J. Moore, Safety Josh Bullocks, OLB Pisa Tinoisamoa, G Lance Louis, DTs Matt Toeaina and Jarron Gilbert are inactive.

    TRADE ANDERSON FOR BASEBALL BATS. THIS IS ABSURDDDDDDDDDDD

  • historycat

    Dear mangini,

    SERIOUSLY??

    Sincerely,

    The fans.

  • S-Dub

    Yay Quinn is warming up now. Ridiculous. At least Quinn might play the rest of the year.

  • C

    Hahah!!! Let’s throw Quinn in now that the Bears D has stepped up the pressure and there’s 3 minutes in the game. I hate this team.

  • historycat

    OK, run the 2 minute drill.

    Talk about setting up a kid to fail.

  • saggy

    If Derek Anderson is not pulled NOW, there is some crap going on
    bring in ratliff if you must – but there is NO JUSTIFICATION FOR DEREK ANDERSON TO BE PLAYING IN THE NFL!!!!!

  • LakeErieMonstar

    I’d say “Blow it up and try again,” but we’ve already done that at least 3 times wit h this team…

    …And, as I write this, Derek Anderson throws a Pick 6.

    Oy.

    I think the commenters that say we should leave DA in there until after the Ravens game are right. That makes it impossible for Quinn to reach his incentives, and will give us a look at him against some human defenses for the rest of the season. Then again, in the NFL you have to play against the big boys, too…so I don’t know what it really proves to play Quinn only against the cream puffs.

    Any chance Lerner’s English soccer team is available the rest of this season for a tour of American football? They just might be an improvement.

  • reppin440

    Quinn already has about as many completions and yards in this game as DA.

  • Cody

    Quinn warming? God I hope so. I can’t watch the game and maybe its better off.

  • Andrew

    This team is so bad, they may very well lose next week on their bye. Goodell might just say, “You guys are so terrible and an embarrassment to the league, I’m giving you another loss this week.”

  • saggy

    early line:

    BYE (-6.5) @ Cleveland Browns

  • Goalie007

    1-15 here we come! This team is worse than both the 1999 expansion team and the 3-13 1990 disaster. 5 turnovers and 6 points. I would say that it’s time to go back to the drawing board, but I’m not sure Mangini even has one. Simply awful …

  • DJ

    DA with a solid 10.5 rating on the day.

    Seriously, why even bring in Quinn when they did? What was the point? I’d actually be insulted at that point.

    The Browns really are an embarrassment to their fans, city and the NFL. Truly sad. It’s not funny anymore, especially when anger is now turning to indifference.

  • LeBrowns23

    90% on DA…other 10 on lewis and Mas….can we hold onto the the ball?

    Did anyone else notice the ONLY players on this team making plays were former jets or out LB’s we drafted…of the the previously groups guys except Thomas and Wimbley did nothing… I hate losing but I see the bright side it’s gonna take another year or two but Mangini’s guys are playing well it’s the rest that aren’t.

    And why does everyone think the whole Quinn on the bench thing is money…Lerner doesn’t care about cash, and he stands to lose far more then 11million in lost ticket sales by not playing him.

    Looking forward to next year when all the junk is off this team….with 11 draftpicks already and another free agent season We’ll be much much better.

    Sorry to pain you all but give it a few more years before we are solid contenders….Just watch the Cavs until then.

  • C

    Lebrowns…what have you seen in DA that warrants him staying the ANY of these games? That’s why everyone thinks it’s money. You’d have to be blind to think that DA has done a single thing that makes him deserve to ever see a football field again.

  • Andrew

    @LeBrown23 – so you’re basically saying we should continue to wait for next year? Story of our lives…

  • Team Brady

    @ 56. sarcasm! I GET IT!

  • Desert Wahoo

    Let’s see DA throws too hard and is inconsistant accuracy. BQ can’t throw to anybody but his TE and that is if it under ten yards. Neither QB is a real NFL athelete.

    We have at least one more year of these two guys. So Le’t stop trying to figure out who will be best for the team since both of these guys are a joke. a real and absolute joke.

  • C

    Desert Wahoo, I’ll take 10 yard passes if they are completions…unless you’d rather have DA throw 40 yard incompletions or interceptions…that makes sense too ::rolls eyes::

  • DKH

    I think CBS would rather that game didn’t even exist. I didn’t hear them mention it once in the last hour and a half of the Baltimore/Denver game. I did get to see Braylon Edwards catch a ball and then fight for a touchdown with two Miami defensive backs, though.

    Oh well, at least I get to root for the Cardinals, too.

  • Alex

    The only word to describe the offense in the game I just saw is “despicable.”

  • historycat

    I just saw mangini’s presser highlight where he was asked why not make the change earlier. He said

    “I thought we were moving the ball ok up to that point”

    DA’s QB rating in the first half was 0.0

    WHAT GAME WERE YOU WATCHING????

  • Alex

    Ok bobby, what do you have to say now? Any more idiocy defending Anderson over anything, including a rock wearing a brown jersey? You still think Anderson’s a better option than an inanimate object?

  • MrCleaveland

    What’s this??????????? Has Manmoron finally — FINALLY — realized that Anderson is the worst quarterback in the league??? Is this possible???

    I hope he’s not just toying with us.

  • MrCleaveland

    Jeez, I take it back. What the heck was I thinking? The only reason Mangini put in Quinn is to keep the Ravens guessing. Quinn and Anderson will split reps for the next two weeks, and Mangini won’t name the starter until just before kickoff. Baltimore will be soooooo confused.

  • crobarred

    @73 I think the rock would have a better qb rating.

  • Bobby O’Brien

    The Cleveland Browns have reached a new level of ineptitude

    Article is up! Strap in. It is a long one.

  • Team Brady

    “Chicago rolls over Cleveland. Who hasn’t?”

    quote from the Fox halftime show just now. OMG SWEET!

  • http://jackberish@gmail.com sorry2bme

    Berne for coach ?

  • isis2

    bobby hahahahaha – DA is awesome, he moves the offenses. When he is in we always have the deep threat. Blah, blah, blah… hahahahahahahhahaha

  • bobby

    Go back and look at the comments. I said coming out of preseason that DA lost the job and Quinn played better in preseason (I did not think he won it though, just the better of worse). I was in favor of switching QBs, because from DAs track record, he posted avg. numbers, and he moved the offense more often then not.

    Last week I said unless DA had a 350 yard, 4 TD performance, then he should be benched. He had a mediocre game against cincy (250 yards, 1 td, 1 int) and I thought he could do that more or less constantly. I was wrong. DA has been worse recently then ever before. He is missing on his deep routes that usually had him with decent numbers. In the past few weeks, he has not been a threat to go deep, and that took away from the running game as well. Never did I once try to say DA was Peyton, or anything like that. Go ahead and take my words and skew them, but its wrong. Yes, I did like DA, and I did think there were a lot of dropped passes in the first half of the games he started. The last half was just getting enough snaps away from Quinn so they can pretend to save some cash.
