Obviously a lot of the focus was how awful Weeden was, but not much mention on how awful the run game was as well. I know Richardson missed pre-season, not many holes opened up, but man he looked bad out there. He had a some chances that looked like he could have bounced it outside and had openings, but chose to put his head down and get half a yard. Need more out of him as well.

Hard to run the ball against a good defense when they don't have to respect the passing game.

Also hard to run the ball with the way the line was playing. Their run blocking was piss poor.

Which is amazing in itself. O-Lineman usually relish putting a hat on someone and kicking the chit out of them. It's the technique of mastering pass blocking which is usually where a lineman's skills fall down.

Piss poor is a nice way to say it. Maeric didn't help matters, he was slow as shit getting to the hole and often times was late getting to the defender. Should have stuck with Vickers.

He wouldn't have made a difference. There is a reason why he has been let go by his team 2 years in a row now...

No disrespect to COA but I'm so sick of hearing about Vickers (from Browns fans) like he was some kind of God.

The supposed "best blocking FB in the league" couldn't even beat out James Casey in Houston last year for a VERY run oriented Texans team. And in the offseason, they let him walk? Sure, there is always the "money issue" of paying a FB but if he were SO valuable, the Texans would've kept him.

My thoughts exactly. I think he is highly overrated with Browns fans.

Marecic is a bum and needs to be shot.

Our defense is fast, tough, and stingy. I don't care what anyone says, they will keep us in just about every game. Eagles are a super bowl contender, and we should've beat them by 2 td's. If our offense can progress just a little bit, we will be fine this year. Just sucks that marecic can't catch, and fort can't come up with the game ending interception. Those things happen, this game is easily ours.

Just glad to have brownies back on sundays. I missed that feeling of heartache every sunday:D

That's the problem, the Browns never make the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" plays. Shurmur isnt a guy that is going to teach them how to make those plays either.

Well you can't teach that. Either you make those plays or you don't. Our defense made a ton of plays and our offense didn't give them shit to work with. I mean literally, our defense scored every point for us. Same old story.

Still pissed off that A-Hole didn't go for two after DQ's TD. You miss and it's 15-10. If the Eagles score, you force THEM to go for two to make it 18-10. I see that as a "win, win" make it or miss it. Either way, you're within 8 points (or less).

You can't teach it, but you can instill an attitude, and shurmur just doesn't have it. Your boy Harbaugh on the other hand does. I will eat my crow and say we should have hired him like you suggested lol.

It's still beyond me why he didn't go for 2. I can't think of any logical reason why he didn't go for 2.

Did Cleveland have a shot at Harbaugh or is that just retrospective wishful thinking like with said and RGIII.
