Week 10: Around the NFL - Manning vs. Brady Edition

Clev's offense is simply unwatchable. They need a QB, RB, and WR's.

I think Brady Quinn could be successful given the right situation. He has the tools physically and mentally. He's on an awful team with pathetic skill players and shitty playcalling. Has a WR run a route longer than 10 yards this entire game? And his two INTs are off of tipped passes that the WRs should have caught. It's awful to watch. And yet I watch.

All the friggin screen passes my god. I'm having Ed Zaunbrecher flashbacks from the Zook era at Florida.

And yet I watch.Cleveland's protection schemes are inexcusable. It's not like they don't have the personnel to protect the quarterback, but they can't figure out how to block an overload blitz.

Watching Quinn try to figure out exactly where Mike Furrey's catching radius is is especially painful. Obviously, you can't get anything down the field if your receivers can't win one on ones (and the Browns cannot), but you have to at least have a Zorn-level of complexity to your passing game, my god. It's hitch, slant, and hitch off a roll out in this offense.

I don't think Quinn has the skills. For a big strong guy he sure doesn't have an NFL arm. He's just not very skilled thrower. Now Flacco can just rip it. My god that guy can throw.

I take back everything I said about Brady Quinn. That dude is terribad! We can forget about Clausen next year because he's going to be a Cleveland Brown.

How was field position not taken into account? In both equations the field position of Indy taking control of the ball is accounted for. I remember Zorn did something similar back in his glory days of 6-2 and was hailed for being gutsy. Sometimes as a head coach you grab the game and go for it. That said I would have punted.

I probably would have punted also,the only reason being is if you punt you dont get second guessed for punting.That said,I dont think it was a bad call,Manning was tearing them a new ass and that would have sealed it for the Pats if they made it.Your right about Zorn,last yr if I remember right he went for it twice on 4th down at the end of games to seal the victory and I was like"hell yeah" because you knew Gibbs would have punted and the other team would have took it and scored.If Pats would have made it everyones talking about what a great call it was.What it was was one gutsy call,depending on the players to make a play,it just didnt work out this time.

Darrius Heyward-Bey turned a catch that would have set up a first and goal to win the game into a Mike Brown game clinching interception by showing hands of stone. He was the 7th overall pick in this years draft, ahead of Michael Crabtree.

Here's how bad it's gotten in Oakland:

When this happened, not one person was either surprised or disappointed. Observers fully expect the teams' most highly paid players to be utterly incompetent.

Did anyone else suffer through any of that debacle last night? You think we have it bad... Cleveland has one of the worst offenses I've seen in recent memory.

Wanna bet they take the NEXT great QB prospect from Notre Dame?

I did. I had a 15 point lead going in and my opponent had Balt's defense. F*ck Cleveland.
