Richardson is the type of back that gets better as the game goes on and the more carries he gets the better he gets.

Yeah. Works great at Alabama when you're ahead late all the time and can pound him to take advantage of it.

More of a problem however in Cleveland when you are always playing from behind and don't have time to run the ball.

This is part of the reason the slow starts are just so killer for this team.

We have a dream back as far as a guy who you can run the clock out with in the 4th quarter, but a nightmare offense that can't ever seem to get a lead to actually use him.

Being down 7 points is not a reason to abandon the run. Sorry (actually I am not), Shurmur is simply a dumbass and panics.

With the schedule they have left they have 4 easily winnable games (IND, OAK, KC, WAS) and they will surprise at least 1 or 2 teams.

I am sticking with my original 6-10 record prediction (I originally said with a possibility of 7-9, but that would have required one of the last 4 wins).[/QUOTE]

"winnable" and actual wins are 2 different things. I'd agree that maybe 3 of those are winnable (don't think WAS is), but would be VERY surprised if we actually win more than 2 (and that's been generous). Maybe we steal one elsewhere, but I think our best case scenario is 3 wins, more likely 1-2.

We'll likely have the 1st or 2nd pick, and trading down a few spots wouldn't be a bad move. Get the best receiver out there (who are the best college receivers?) and pick up an extra pick or two in the process.

I actually like our receivers if we can get a veteran guy in the offseason. A joe j type of guy. If we get the 1st pick i would love to trade trade someone that needs a qb that's picking in the too 5 trade down and take a stud defensive end. Then in the 2nd take a guard or a corner/safety. Also this depends on the play of weedon also.

What has Richardson done to really be considered a dream back in terms of running out the clock? lol

There's no chance this team wins 6 games.

Look, the Browns have some talent but we need a different coach and we need to give the ball to Trich more and more. Simple.

After seeing how bad Dallas was last night, I wouldn't necessarily pencil that in as a loss. This team is going to be in most games, it's just finishing that's their issue.

I am not going to watch that thing. I'll watch the 30 for 30 thing about going Broke, so I can feel good about myself as opposed to watching this and wanting to jump off a building.

Same here. I won't be watching the 95' special. It was bad enough when it happened.

I don't have NFL network, so I won't watch it. I can't help but think it was done by some fuckhead producer who isnt from Cleveland. So, expect to see the documentary try to spin the move into how it wasn't Modell's fault blah blah blah.

"The saddest parts of the documentary involve scenes of the final game on Dec. 17, 1995. The footage of center Steve Everitt saying goodbye to denizens of the Dawg Pound and them not letting him go … well, you will understand why Everitt still wears a Browns bandanna 13 years after retiring as a player."

My favorite was when he was playing for the Ravens he still wore the Browns bandana under his helmet.

I heard on the radio today that the Browns haven't led at any point in the last 3 games. I guess that isn't surprising, but I didn't realize until I heard it. It's impossible to finish something when you don't lead for a single second.

They had a chance to finish against Philly and they were driving for what would've been a game tying TD against Baltimore but didn't finish.
