This team is not a lost cause. While Erving fucked up, his blocking wasn’t terrible. Problem is, you can tell he isn’t a natural at the position, which is going to take time to get the feel for. And if you watch a replay of that silly fake punt, you’ll notice that he was the fella hiking the ball, which was fucked, and fucked up the play’s timing, which…well, you know. Either he gets his shit together, or he’ll be lucky to take over the spot where the new Greco vacancy is created.
There were a lot of missed opportunities on offense yesterday, even by those who are normally sure handed (Barnidge, anyone?), and that tends to “bleed into other issues” (Hue’s words, or close enough)…suddenly the QB play isn’t so good. Suddenly 10 other guys sense it, doubt starts to creep in, and 11 other guys smell blood in the water and lo and behold, first sack of the game (and Thomas was the beaten guy, if I’m not mistaken). Couple that with the stupidity of an unnecessary safety, and and everyone mentally checks out…which, if you’re a Browns fan, you should know exactly what I mean.
But in my personal, so valuable opinion…I’ve known all along that this wasn’t going to be an easy season to watch. But, take heart. One thing I admire about this coaching staff is that they have an energy that doesn’t quit. While this young team struggles, this is exactly the kind of coach that needs to be coaching these kids. I think regardless of how this season turns out, as long as the team shows signs of improving, Hue will be here next year. Haslam seems pretty committed to him, but there’s 15 more games to go. If he doesn’t have us playing like a team by then…his head will likely be added to a growing pile of skulls.
And Ice, you couldn’t have named the thread any better. Because we indeed suck…and yet we can improve. So, prepare for “one of those” seasons folks, because we’ve been here before.
I feel like Andy Dufresne from Shawshank the fist day he got his rock hammer.
On the bright side, it only took him 20 years to get here:
After that boys, it’s Zihuatanejo all fuckin’ day!
The hardest part of all of this is going to be explaining to my wife why I’m hanging up a poster of Rita Hayworth in the living room.
And Indians are 7 games up in the division with 20 games left. Magic number of 14 to clinch the division.
It’s all about perspective. Sports are great in CLEVELAND!
Freedom!!!
