While We’re Waiting … Browns Hope for First Win, Dion Waiters’ Improvement, Ubaldo Jimenez’s 2012
October 14, 2012NFL Rumor: Haslam could maintain ownership in Steelers in addition to Browns
October 14, 2012The Browns (0-5) look to collect their first win of the season today as they host divisional rival Cincinnati (3-2). While the Bengals haven’t been that bullet-proof this season, this looks like a stretch based on their dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball.
Follow along with all of the action here at WFNY. Yours truly will be attending the game cheering on the Brownies, so hopefully they can finally crack the egg in the wins column this afternoon.

I’m predicting another close loss. I just can’t believe the difference when I look at the projected Week 1 starters compared to this week starters… Both DTs, both OLBs, and a starting WR… Plus, I think TJ Ward still has a messed up hand…
I can’t imagine them not running all over us. Let’s just hope for the first time this season, both our offense and defense have good games at the same time.
Keep the Bengal’s offense off the field with the run game…
Awwww, who am I kidding? We’re gonna throw it 50 times. This could be a blowout.
Wish you were wrong
Interception…
The bad luck feels worse when you’re winless.
Marecic can’t catch… why did we get rid of Vickers again?
Because he wanted a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract.
Wait, Josh Cooper is white? (insert OMIGOD NEXT WES WELKER text)
HARDESTY GETS A CARRY??? IS THIS SOME KIND OF TRICK PLAY????
… and we have the money to pay him… ugh.
Touchdown!!!
I’m seeing a pattern. The receivers selected to start for this team stink while the backups are playing much better. How is Cooper stuck on the practice squad on THIS team?
Also, Marecic has naked pics of Shurmur…that’s the only explanation.
THANKS ALEX MACK!!!
#facepalm
3rd amd long, run a draw and give up. And Pat Shurmir wonders why people criticize his play calling…
The Bengals have our scouting report. Game over.
Is Usama Young Heckert’s worst Free Agent signing?
I just want to know how they run a defense at the goal line that takes Haden off of Green. They just did the Bengals a favor.
He’s his only free agent signing, so yes.
I hate trying to be positive with this team, even though I want to, but Shurmur, win or lose, has to go. The offensive playcalling is downright stupid and at worst questionable. The staff has to go, too. The team is not playing at its highest level and is making mental errors. That can’t be happening. You saw how Ed Warriner came to Ohio State and had the offensive line immediately playing at a higher level than they did the past 10 years. That’s downright ridiculous when we don’t have any projected NFL talent on the starting line despite having tons of future NFL talent during the Bollman era. Just get this guy out of here and bring in Gruden, Tressel, Dungy, Cowher, I DON’T CARE! I just want someone who has an IMPRESSIVE track record and doesn’t look like someone who’d be way in over his head like Pat Shurmur or Romeo Crennel.
Hell, at this point, I’m all for bringing Schottenheimer out of retirement if it means winning games.
Did that stat just say that the Browns have t scored on the first drive of the 2nd half of 29 (now 30) straight games?
That is remarkable in a really bad way.
So many crap screens that don’t work, we run like 15 per game, it’s not fooling anyone Pat!
Marecic…naked pics of Shurmur.
What else could it be?
It is now 100% obvious that Pat Shurmur is a horrible coach. He is an awful playcaller, even now with an OC and an offseason. If the Browns offense was simply average, this game would be completely different.
Cribbs’ last return actually showed some explosion. Be nice if he could hav that burst back
Vickers is stinking it up in Dallas. Unfortunately, I don’t think he would have been the answer either.
Good, because I know I’d want Richardson blocking instead of running on 3rd and 1.
3rd and 1 strikes again!
This time, poor play design is the culprit. That play couldn’t have been easier to defend in the middle. It looked like a 5-year-olds soccer game with the entire team bunched up in one spot on the field.
Passing on 3rd and 1 at the Bengals 16. Here we go again. At least Weeden didn’t throw a pick, but still…
I offer my deepest sympathies for the fans of whatever team, at whatever level, that hires Coach Shurmur this coming offseason.
21_20 Bengals u already !
And given his history…Schottenheimer usually means winning games.
While Hardesty is actually playing well…is something wrong with Richardson?
This game better not mean Shurmer gets another year….
He’d have to go undefeated rest of the yr for that
Haha I must have said that same comment to like four other people. Yikes.
Win #1… Browns win despite horrible offensive coaching!
It’s almost like we won this game in spite of the coaching.
I will echo Josh Stein below — to whomever hires Shurmur (even the local Wal-Mart), you have my condolences.
Lol @ anyone who thought the Browns would go 0-16 this season
So as long as it’s Marty and not Brian.
Watch it be the Steelers or the Ravens. No seriously, watch it be them. I won’t feel bad for them, I’ll laugh at them.
Jauron’s defense bailed him out.
I won’t feel sorry for him when 6 year old kids are calling him “f**” at every corner.
He was playing well in Houston last year.
what happened to richardson?
Well enough to get cut.
Injury. How bad, I don’t know
I jokingly said they were looking at 0-16 last year, but realistically, 0-16 is like 16-0. Both need a lot of luck to happen.
My prediction all along has been 2-14. I’m beginning to get scared they might go 4-12 and Shurmer somehow keeps his job, though.
in the wco a FB is a receiving option – do you remember Vickers trying to catch? If he was here we’d be watching him drop the same passes and saying, “why did we pay this guy the millions he demanded when he doesn’t fit this offense?”
Please stop with the Vickers obsession. He has a cro-magnon skill set, a lighter offensive lineman. Just because Marecic is the wrong guy doesn’t make Vickers the right one.
