Week 1 - Cleveland Browns - Discussion Thread

[SD]

I see what youre getting at but when your rb is getting 5-10 ypc and your qb sucks it makes more sense to run the ball more. Even IF the running game is ineffective you keep running the ball to keep the defense honest. And for the love of Hid Andy stop throwing the ball on 1st down . farg the god damn %s in the league. At the very least mix it up.

Btw... while the 4th round kicker is blowing 45 yd FG's, Akers just hit a 63 yarder to end the 1st half.

WRONG THREAD FOO

seriously he is not capable of not turning the ball over

they cant win like this because the defense sucks, the kicking game isnt good enough and the line is a joke but they ought to turn into a safe defense and running team.

feed shady...play field position...dont give away points...take your big play shots with pimp and hope that works

because throwing the ball 50 times a game cannot possibly work with vick

x1000.  They have enough with Maclin/Jackson/Celek that if they lean on Shady and the D remains competent that they should get plays through the air despite Vick. 

56 passes.  Go farg yourself.

And if you count the 7 times Vick ran the pass:run goes from 56/27 to 63/20.

stop with the run pass ratio stuff...thats so ten years ago....this is a passing league now...

you guys want the eagles to run the ball more because their qb cant throw it it doesnt work that way...the bottom line is if vick could run this offense properly they would have been up 28-3 at halftime and THEN run the ball to make the ratio more even

Look... if they're scoring TD's while they're passing, I don't give a farg if the ratio is 75/1 in favor of the pass. But on days like today when the QB is hurting you more than helping you, throwing picks left and right and can't do shtein right... all I ask is to not be so farging stubborn and take some of the pressure off of him by giving the ball to your all-pro RB who just so happens to be gutting the defense all day long.

The bottom line is that Vick couldn't run the offense. That is reality, so the coach needs to adjust the play calling.

No sir... Cleveland Browns discussion right there...

[ice grillin you]

i 100% agree with this....but this is small picture stuff....today its what they should have done....and its what they should do in general because of the qb they have

but im talking about winning the superbowl this year...im looking big picture....i want to be in NO in feb...and not running the ball enough has nothing to do with whether they get there or not...it all depends on vick being a LEGIT qb

[SD]

Stop with the sb stuff. If today doesn't open your eyes that this is the same shtein team as last season than I don't know what will. Next week is going to be ugly and bmore ain't what I'd consider a great team.

[ice grillin you]

its not about me thinking they are going to win the sb its about the fact that they should be in the mix to win a superbowl this year...this is bigger than andy reids run pass ratio in week one vs cleveland

why anyone would care how many run plays andy reid called this week is beyond me

[General_Failure]

They should definitely not use their best offensive weapon. I'm with IGY on this one.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Chas Henry averaged 55 yards per punt today.

Because he(/MM) almost lost this game that way. It's the coaches job to know who is getting the job done and who can't and adjust accordingly.

[SD]

Because the running game was effective and he went away from it and kept forcing the passing game which obviously wasnt working. There's not one part of me that thinks they're "in the mix". Their ceiling is probably 9-7 and a wc game. I'm all aboard the Foles bandwagon at this point. I was adamantly against it early but Vick is horrid beyond belief and they're never winning shtein with him.

if you think they are winning the sb this year because of shady then you are a dope

shady had a ridiculous year last season and they went 8-8


its all about the qb in 2012

am i the only idiot that sees this?

How's his arm?

Unsung hero today as well as the DTs who did one hell of a job against the run and got good push.
