Official Game Day Thread: Browns @ Packers 8/14: LOSE 27 - 24

That Bulaga kid can block. I like him.

I thought Quinn Porter was Tony Fisher when I first saw him. :lol:

QUARLESS!

I like him.

That was a terrible throw, Matty.

Put in Harrell. Flynn sucks.

And White Jesus said "Thou shalt call a penalty" and the referee did. And it was good.

WHO NEEDS ATARI BIGBY? not the pack

Nice pick!!

HAHA we broke colt mccoy already

So Today's big winner is Quinn Porter

Nice throw, Graham.

Cut him.

Crosby hits and we lead.

GBP will be pleased.

There's the Sam Shields we've all heard about.

LOL at them saying he should've caught that. That would've been a helluva catch.

Overtime anybody?

******* Phil Dawson and his 59 yard game tying field goal.

We are losers. That was pretty brutal.

I would expect things to be much sharper against Seattle.

Oh well we lost.

I was not having much hope with the 2nd and 3rd string in the game.

Its Pre Season.

But if this was a real game. I would not be a happy camper.

Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say FIRE THAT GODDAMM DC AND EVERY DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THIS MF TEAM!

Okay, I'm better now. It's only preseason. After all, it's not like the last game the Packers played the D gave up a lot of po... nevermind.

Our First String showed we could of won the game. That what matters.

Not our first string D. They played as poorly as can be.

Yes, we rested a lot of starters. And they were playing vanilla. And it doesn't mean jack. But still.

I'm not sure if many of you guys felt the same way, but I thought this D really missed Johnny Jolly. Sure he didn't have much of an effect as a pass rusher, but the way the pocket collapsed and the overall run stopping ability from the left side of the line just disappeared. Maybe it's Pickett who's still learning the LDE position, but I think having Jolly there would've helped settle the D a bit.

The coverage really bothers me. They let too much space underneat. Goddammit, play closer to the receiver! Last year we were 28th in passing TDs given. Even if we give the deep pass once in a while, it'll still compensate for stopping more drives.

I noticed this too. Even with the No. 1 D on the field, we were giving too much cushion to their recievers. That's how guys like Massaqoui and Robiskie were getting their catches. I understand we play in a zone oriented defense, but it's completely unexcusable when we're giving up free releases like that.

I think they were just out there going through the motions. You will see a different team during week 1 regular season.

Yea. Playing a bit cautious dont want to get hurt now.

If this happen Week 1 then I would be worried.

Its Pre Season. Getting the Kinks worked out. Lets Take a Deep Breath.

It's a reoccurent thing. We played like this last year, and it didn't go well.

But you're absolutely right. Thing is, this team knows it's identity. It's not gonna play hard in preseason.
