The Browns got completely embarassed and humiliated in front of their home crowd, losing 30-0 Sunday to the Bengals. Charlie Frye threw four picks and nothing went right for the Browns all day long in one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. Things got off on the wrong foot right from the opening kickoff when Joshua Cribba took it to the hosue, only to be called back on a holding call.
To make matters worse, Braylon Edwards continues to show his prima donna, T.O immaturity by shoving Frye on the sidelines at one point during the second half. The team showed absolutley no passion or excitement and looked like they still hadn’t recovered from last week’s close call to Pittsburgh. I’m sure plenty of storylines will develop over the next few days regarding Edwards, Frye, Crennel, and the extreme disappointment with the entire organization.
These are the kinds of games that get coaches fired. Fans are already frustrated by the losing, but at least they had a chance to win many of those games.
Here we had a complete breakdown. The defense has been solid most of the season, but it’s clear they have a real problem with the Bengals and with the no-huddle offense.
The offense seems to be regressing, and Braylon Edwards is trying his best to become a cancer on this team.
Does Crennel have any control over this team? Do the players have any respect for him? He stayed with Carthon way too long, and now he has guys like Edwards creating problems.
I was willing to give him more time, but now I’m starting to lose patience. He needs to take control of this team and finish with some good games. The next few games will be a huge test of his leadership skills.
Crennel needs to go. He has lost control of the team, If he ever even had it. This team needs discipline and he gives none. Edwards comments a few days ago should have resulted in a fine and a personal visit to Crennel’s office, yet Crennel does nothing. Now he shoves Frye while ranting and raving and he’s right back in the next series. These are only 2 examples of many. A team is a reflection of it’s coach. They play with no emotion or passion, just like Crennel. We need a complete overhaul and nobody should be exempt!!!
i have been saying it for 3 years, crennel has no business being a head coach in this league. there is a reason a guy is in his 50s and has never had a head coach’s position. if he was head coach material, why wasn’t he even considered after palmer’s last season? what happened between then and when he was hired? the owner died and the LEAGUE forced him on the browns. by all indications savage wanted nolan (check the 49ers record?) and was told the coach will be crennel. this is a joke, the only hope at this point is what grossi rasied a couple of weeks ago is bringing in a proven winner, COWER , but i think cower will sit a year, so what do you do?
We could only wish Cower would come here, plus the fact that the Browns refuse to hire anybody with NFL head coaching experience. We just don’t get it!!!!
so, so, SO FRICKIN TIRED OF LOSING…..
i just don’t get it. how this team can be in such disarray. i feel really strongly that crennel and savage should have at least 3 years to get this team to 10 wins, but the way things are looking, 2/3 of the way through year 2 of these guys, and i just don’t see how we can give them another year. there seemed to be some ‘improvement’ after carthon was fired but it seems last week lost just destroyed this team for good. i’m near out of faith on crennel but haven’t given up totally on savage yet. i’m 50/50 on his draft picks and free-agent pick-ups.
i am tired of crennel’s “laize-faire” attitude just like i was tired of butch’s “they played their guts out” bull shit. crennel seemed to come in here with a pretty honest attitude about players and the teams situation but that seems to have disappeared totally at this point. he seems to be in total denial at this point.
i feel pretty much like we are destined to become another detroit or arizona type franchise – pathetic forever. other teams figure out how to turn it around why can’t the browns? i mean dammit! look at new orleans!!! frickin new orleans people!!!!
as for braylon. i’m over him. i was just about over him when he showed up after the draft going “bling-crazy”.. he was all image and attitude with nothing to back it up. and he has been terrible this year. another quincy morgan…
as for frye… well, i’ve supported him all year long due to our WORTHLESS OFFENSIVE LINE, but the unending INT’s are really making me start to doubt him.
this loss is no different than the 41-0 loss to PITT last year. pathetic.
time to start talking draft i guess….. because there isn’t anything worth talking about for this season anymore.
Crennel’s act is wearing thin. After the lies of Butch Davis, he was a breath of fresh air for a little while as he refused to over-hype anything.
Now it is coming across as a complete lack of passion and a total lack of leadership.
Does anybody ever see Crennel doing anything on the sidelines during a game but sit there and watch the game? He has no enthusiasm, and doesn’t even talk to anybody! The guy’s a waste. I agree with pbw – he was forced on us. Other observations:
Why did Brian Russell run into Chad Johnson and cause that interference call – that was ridculous.
Josh Cribbbs dropped a ball that should have been caught.
Why did the Browns run a draw on 3rd and very long late in the game?
I’m just frustrated! What a horrible effort yesterday. The next few games will define this team. Can they suck it up and bounce back? We’ll see.
