Browns-Titans Monday Game Tape; Undefeated At Home

Oh shit.

https://twitter.com/mikedyce/status/645688034801942528

Hey guys! Sup? Anything good happen yesterday? Any quarterbacks with #2 on their jersey play? Any guys named “Johnny” finish  8-15 for 172 yards and 2 TDs? Did anyone have  a 133.9 QB Rating? Was it the highest QB rating for a Browns player since 2007? Is that good? Did he break it? Are we still alive? Has anyone given him an ounce of credit? No? OK. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Johnny played well yesterday, folks, and if you think otherwise “your a idiot.” The offense as a whole was OK. 3 offensive touchdowns, a special teams touchdown, and no turnovers. Not going to lose many games like that. We actually had some semblance of a running game and that was pretty pretty cool to see.

The defense harassed Golden Boy Marcus all. day. long. 7 sacks and about a BILLION pressures and hits. It was a rough go for the NFL’s new flavor of the week. He looked off his game in the first half and you could tell every time he dropped back to pass he knew in the back of his mind that he’d be getting hit. The Browns mentally beat down Mariota until the clock hit zero. Seeing it live in the stands was delightful. The Browns were able to corral him and make sure he didn’t come close to the game he had last week.

Gee, I don’t know, maybe it’s stupid to crown or rip apart young quarterbacks in their first couple of starts?

1-1 let’s look at the damn game tape

The day started off with a few ISIS and Jay-Z jokes

The colors were flying high and proud

Then the keg bowling started

And we took some shots

And a guy jumped off of a roof

We hula hoop harder than you party. In the least pervy sounding way possible, I was absolutely mesmerized by this showmanship

Spotted on the way to the stadium:

Inside the stadium was even more fun when Manziel hit Travis Benjamin on a 60 yard bomb in stride

Crow found his way to the goal line for 6

The defense was allllll over Mariota all game. Welcome to the NFL kid, now go pick up your helmet and shoe

Travis Benjamin caught a punt, dipped and dodged, and scampered his way in the end zone with under a minute left to play in the first half. HUUUGEE to go into half with a 21 point lead. You knew the game was basically over when this happened

I know how it feels when your punter gets embarrassed (Spencer Lanning/Antonio Brown) but if you’re the Titans punter do you even show your face today?

Tennessee scored a few TDs on a couple nice throws from Mariota in the second half (that throw to DGB was a beaut) but the Browns were able to put one last touchdown on the board when this happened:

Big boy play right there at a crucial moment. It was great to be there live.

Couple quick thoughts:

  • The Muni Lot remains my favorite place in the world
  • Getting through the gate into the game took about 3 seconds. Very impressed by how much less waiting there is in the lines to get into the stadium.
  • I wasn’t able to re-watch the game but a few defensive players that stood out during the game were Armonty Bryant, Desmond Bryant, Craig Robertson, and Tramon Williams.
  • Even though they gave up 50 more yards more in week 2, the defense was MUCH better this game.
  • Giving up 166 yards on the ground is still unacceptable though.
  • The Browns only had a 24 minute time of possession. Guess that’s what happens when you throw 50 & 60 yard touchdowns. Would like to see the offense put together a nice, grind it out 10 play 75 yard scoring drive.
  • Things seem to be going pretty pretty well with Dwayne Bowe.
  • Have a day, Rabbit

  • Johnny has undoubtedly progressed in every game we’ve seen him play this year. If he can continue to do that…. then we may have a quarterback?
  • No turnovers, timely throws, 2 long touchdowns, 28 points (special team aided)… what more could you want out of a guy in his 3rd career start?

See you guys next Sunday at 7 am in the Muni Lot

Browns- Jets Monday Game Tape; Nowhere To Go But Up! Maybe. Hopefully.

Nowhere to go but up, baby!

Not many teams are able to overcome their starting quarterback getting a concussion on the first drive, 5 turnovers, and 12 penalties… add in the fact it’s a season opener and it says “Cleveland” on the front of their jerseys and yesterday’s loss was basically inevitable.

If we’re being honest, I can’t remember being more let down after a season opener in some time. Whatever could go wrong, did, and the Browns were never able to get out of their own way. Sigh. Ugly ugly loss.

Let’s look at the damn game tape.

Browns fans invaded the MetLife parking lots and things got pretty wild

Thought there was no chance the Browns were going to lose when Dwyane Wade showed up to the game in a Jets jersey

Embedded image permalink

You knew we were in for a wild ride when Karlos Dansby somehow got lined up at cornerback (I don’t believe the Browns were in man coverage here but I could be wrong)

Embedded image permalink

After moving the ball about 90 yards down the field on a pretty spectacular opening drive, Josh McCown thought he was John Elway and attempted the diving helicopter spin. Unfortunately for Josh, he is no Elway. He’s McCown. Oh, and he’d be knocked out of the game with a concussion after this hit.

Pretty nice hangtime though

Enter Mr. Jonathan Paul Manziel

And Johnny looked good his first couple of drives. He broke Antonio Cromartie’s ankles and completely emasculated him

Threw a bomb to Travis Benjamin for 6. His first passing TD ever

On 3rd and 19 no less

Things were looking up, Tashaun Gipson picked off Mr. Harvard…. but then got stripped by Brandon Marshall. Turning point in the game right here.

Now I know how Miami Hurricanes fans felt in that ’02 championship.

Andy Lee boomed a punt and Craig Robertson gave us a top 10 celebration dance after he made a nice tackle

When Hartline made this catch I thought it would be our day. Nah…

Don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is one the better catches you’ll see.

Johnny missed an open Andrew Hawkins in the end zone for a touchdown. If Hawk was taller than 4’2 it’s a catch but Johnny needs to complete that pass. Another play that could have changed the game that the Browns didn’t make. Can’t afford to leave touchdowns on the field.

Tramon Williams did his best Brock Lesnar impression. Suplex city, bitch.

Karlos Dansby made a nice stop at the goal line that didn’t really mean much. Nice hit though.

Brandon Marshall abused Joe Haden in the second half

Andrew Hawkins might be dead

Johnny Manziel fumbled approximately 15 times. Thought he had big hands?

brownsfacejets

And then the clock hit zero and the Browns lost 31-10.

0-1 to start the season, where have we heard that before??? 11 straight opening day losses. I’m not even mad, that’s incredible.

Couple quick thoughts

  • Saw this on Twitter- The Browns had 230 days to prepare for this game… and we got… that
  • Our supposed strength (offensive line) was pretty subpar yesterday. Pass protection was OK… but the run game struggled when the offensive line was unable to open holes. Jets do have a very good defense but come on.
  • You’ll never win a game in the NFL if your top 2 rushers are both of your quarterbacks.
  • brownsjetsrushing
  • A pass rush would be pretty cool. No sacks + no pressure = an average quarterback like Ryan Fitzpatrick being able to convert important 3rd downs and throwing 2 touchdown passes. Opposing quarterbacks are salivating to play this pass rush.
  •  Hey Josh, you’re 36. Can’t be taking those hits, bro. We love your passion and the fact you try and gain every last inch, but let’s tone down the intensity a little bit. You’re not Marshawn Lynch.
  • Thought Johnny looked… ok? He didn’t take one snap with the 1st team offense the whole week leading up to practice, and it showed. He seemed much more comfortable in the pocket than last year and actually looked like he belonged in the NFL. I think the fumbles were a result of him trying to do too much and trying to come back from a big deficit. If this team finds itself in a 10-14 point hole and has to play from behind, this could be a long season.
  • Good luck throwing to those Grade A playmakers whoever gets the start under center.
  • Tramon Williams looked pretty good.
  • Andy Lee has a fucking BAZOOKA for a leg.
  • Why does Joe Haden seem to always struggle at the beginning of the season? I thought he’d shut down Marshall because he usually has trouble with the quick, shifty, smaller receivers (Antonio Brown). I’m not entirely concerned with our Pro Bowl cornerback but he had a pretty rough week one.
  • How stupid will the folks in Berea look if Marcus Mariota (who they were interested in drafting) comes into First Energy Stadium and lights up this Browns defense? Don’t even want to think about that.
  • Run defense looks improved. JK. It still stinks.

Nowhere to go but up!

15-1

Cavs v Bulls Friday Game Tape; Yawn. On to Atlanta (or Washington)

supernatural animated GIF

Yawn. Start the series down 2-1, win the next 3. Boom. Just like that the series is over. On to Atlanta or Washington. Matthew Dellavedova grabbed Chicago’s heart out of their chest, squeezed, threw it the ground, stepped on it, then spit on it. He finished with 19 points and had a 20 second stretch in the 2nd half where he hit a 3, stripped the ball, then hit another 3. It was Jordan-esque.

LeBron didn’t play particularly well and still almost had a triple double, Tristan had 13 points and 17 rebounds, our bench went 9-18 on three pointers, and the Cavs officially ended the Thibodeau era by beating the Bulls by 21.

We’re on to Atlanta or Washington.

Let’s look at the game tape

clechibox6 clechistats6

We had quite the scare when Kyrie went down after injuring his foot. Good thing the Cavs won, it’ll provide some much needed rest for Kyrie

Tristan Thompson: Man’s game. Nice spinning and-1 oop from Delly

Mirotic did his best WWE Clothesline impression. Little did he know this would be the turning point that ultimately ended the game and the Bulls season.

Honestly though, who is going to stop this?

HE WINKED AT SCOTTY! HE WINKED AT SCOTTY!

On to Atlanta

Couple quick thoughts:

– Delly highlights upon Delly highlights

– Matthew Dellavedova outplayed Derrick Rose in an elimination game. Just let that sink in.

– He’s also listed as the owner of the Chicago Bulls

Embedded image permalink

– Has anyone given David Blatt an ounce of credit yet? It’s going to be interesting to see in the next couple of days if anyone acknowledges the rookie head coach

– Tristan Thompson is making himself a shit ton of money this playoffs and he’ll deserve every cent of it

– During this time in between the ECF, Kyrie Irving should hire someone to carry him around everywhere he goes like Ariana Grande does. I don’t want him putting any weight on those legs.

– I want to play the Wizards next series solely because they have more hateable players. There’s really nothing about the Hawks that makes you strongly dislike them

– If you would have told me before the season it’d be LeBron James, Tristan Thompson and Matthew Dellavedova on the podium after a series clinching win to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals… I would have spit in your face and then slapped you

Embedded image permalink

– The average margin of victory in the Celtics series was 9.25 PPG. In this Bulls series the Cavs won their games by an average of 10.75 PPG. BUT THE BULLS ARE SO GOOD AND EVERYONE ON ESPN PICKED THEM TO MAKE THE FINALS.

– Has a team ever had the #1 pick in the draft one year and then made the NBA Finals the next? Someone look that up, would ya?

See you guys next Wednesday.

Cavs in 4.
