Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Bruce Arians Calls Bottlegate “The Greatest Game Ever”

Leave a comment

Tell em, Bruce! Tell ’em! I agree 100%. It’s also the best blog ever (almost. not really)

You just know that if Arians wasn’t on the sideline coaching that day he would have been in the stands 15 beers deep throwing bottles on the field along with the rest of those maniacs.

Arians is making his way back to Cleveland this Sunday with the Cardinals and he was having a nice stroll down memory lane with the Browns reporters yesterday.

Some highlights:

Definitely wouldn’t mind BA strolling the sidelines 8 times a year in FirstEnergy Stadium. It’d be a definite upgrade from some of the dopes we’ve had the past few years (though I still do like Pettine). This dude would be loved here. Sigh.

PS- I’d say about 95% of the people on Twitter yesterday tweeted something along the lines of “I always wanted Bruce Arians to be the coach of the Browns!” The Captain Hindsights were out in full force yesterday, it was amazing.

Browns Fan Makes A “Browns QB Graveyard” Display In His Front Yard

Leave a comment

From Cleveland19.com

On Charles Road, you’ll find an orange and black cemetery depicting Browns quarterback casualties over the years. There are headstones that represent every Browns Quarterback since 1999. 

The years on the gravestones represent the years that the players were here in Cleveland. Some only have one year painted on them because the player only lasted one season.

You guys hear the one about the Browns having 22 different starting quarterbacks since 99?

Maybe you guys have seen this jersey? It has EVERY last name of the players who have quarterbacked the Browns in the past 16 years. Pretty wild, right?

So when the opportunity presents itself to make a hilarious Halloween display, you’ve just gotta take advantage of it.

Have you seen that new video that’s going viral on the Internet? It’s a clip of a guy talking to a cop and then the guy points down to the cop’s shoes and asks the cop “what are those?” It’s totally hilarious and new and fresh and not beaten into the ground just like this Browns QB joke.

PS- Catch me on another day and I may have a whole different take on this Halloween display. But the fact is right now the Browns stink, it’s Monday, I’m hungover, I lost all my bets this weekend, and I hate everything. Sorry. I’m actually jealous I didn’t come up with the idea myself to be honest.

PPS- This works well with GMs, head coaches, and offensive coordinators too. I’m sure fans wouldn’t particularly mind seeing “Here lies Ray Farmer; Browns GM 2014-2015”

Browns v Rams Monday Game Tape; Not Good, Guys. Not Good.

Leave a comment

Not much to say after that one, guys. We can’t tackle, can’t block, can’t run, can’t make plays. This team is incredibly flawed on each side of the ball. We’ve got a helluva kicker and a helluva punter though!

Let’s look at the game tape I guess

Before the game even started Bernie said the Browns season was over

There were about 7500 fans there for kickoff

When things weren’t going well for the Browns, Josh McCown hit a wall. No. He literally hit a wall.

And I remixed it with Miley Cyrus

Todd Gurley’s first NFL touchdown was the easiest run he’s had since middle school

Barnidge did Barnidge things per usual

Not good when Aaron Donald almost takes the handoff. Not good.

And Gurley scored his second TD of the day when no one on the Browns decided to try and tackle him

And the Browns lost 24-6.

Couple quick thoughts

  • Does anyone find themselves watching these games and being totally emotionless? Every Browns turnover they had I just sat in front of my TV with no reaction. Didn’t swear or scream or anything. October 25th and the apathy has already set in.
  • It was expected that the Rams defensive front would affect the game but I didn’t think our offensive line would totally fall apart like it did. The Rams absolutely abused our offensive line.
  • Robert Turbin had a nice little stretch there in the third quarter where he did some good things so that was encouraging I guess.
  • The more the season goes on the more I want Ray Farmer fired immediately
  • The Browns were the lowest scoring team in the NFL on Sunday
  • It was kind of a win that the Browns ONLY allowed 128 yards to Todd Gurley yesterday
  • It’s a pretty crowded field in the AFC to be a Pro Bowl tight end but if Gary B. keeps playing like this, then he;s gotta be there.
  • I have tons of respect for Josh McCown hanging in there and getting the piss kicked out of him almost every time he dropped back.
  • Anyone want to start talking draft? I want a beast in the front 7. Bosa, Oakman, Nkemdiche please.
  • These reviews used to be fun to do but now that the NFL deletes Vines and GIFs (along with the Browns sucking) it’s become more of a chore than something I like putting together on Mondays

 

Guys, it’s time to play Johnny from here on out. The season is over, we’re not making the playoffs. There’s no point in trotting out a 36 year old journeyman quarterback when the team is going nowhere. This move should have been made after the Titans game. Josh has shown that he’s still a pretty serviceable quarterback but to have him under center for this team right now is pointless. If there were playmakers around the quarterback and this team was playoff caliber… then McCown should start no questions asked. Butttt this team stinks and is heading to another 4-12/5-11 season.

If Johnny sucks then he sucks and you get rid of him after this season. We have to see what we have in him. Play the kid and see if there’s ANYTHING there.

This also applies to Justin Gilbert I think?

 

See you in the Muni Lot next Sunday.
