Gameday Thread: Browns vs. Redskins

Hmmm...as a long time Red Sox fan I saw the opposite. After 2004 Fenway was populated with a rich low IQ fan base.

Anywho when you are at the game your IQ drops it is the fun of being at the game.

Last night they said the Redskins have finished in last place of the NFC East 5 out of the last 6 seasons. Man we are a bad franchise. I knew that fact but it just really hit home when they said it last night.

Boston fans make any other fan base look better.

He needs a lot of work. There's no way he's ready to be a week one starter. The Browns should just name Hoyer the guy and get on with it.


Hoyer was even worse. Atleast Jonny has legs.

The stat last nite showed usually preseason averages around 12-13 flags per game and it drops by 1 or 2 for the regular season. This preseason its around 19. So even with a slight drop-off it is still going to be well above past years on average.

Hoyer was even worse. Atleast Jonny has legs.

I'm sorry man, but this is a weak argument. Hoyer is the more experienced QB and can probably give the Browns the better chance to win. Unfortunately, Cleveland is having Hoyer split the reps with Johnny Crybaby, and it's screwing them both. Manziel has a lot to learn and is just not ready to be the starter period. It would serve both players and the team for Hoyer to be the starter and Manziel be the back up for game three. Give Hoyer more reps with the first team and Manziel reps with the second team.

Unless their defense can somehow carry them, I don't see Cleveland winning many games with that mess of a QB situation.

I saw Ruhskins post a pic of this earlier. What happened on this play? It didn't look like he was hit in the above sequence.

This is a good wrap up of Griffins night.

Bad Habits Still Hurting RGIII as Redskins Struggle to Excel in New Offense | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2167547-bad-habits-still-hurting-rgiii-as-redskins-struggle-to-excel-in-new-offense)


BR nicked picked the Roberts throw. Looking at I don't know where else he good have placed it.


I was very happy, in fact kind of surprised to see 6/8 with a 14 ypa. When watching the game I felt like those numbers were 5/12. Turnovers though and recklessness obviously causes for concern.

I also didn't really like the power running game nor was I happy to see Morris not only get 11 carries but also 3 or 4 rough ones down by the Goal line. Though the announcers probably had a good point that the coaches were probably ecstatic to get a live game Goal Line situation. That play where he lost his helmet made my heart skip a beat (also you'd think there'd be a picture of it somewhere on the net).

That would be trash talking Johnny couldn't handle.

Not Eagles or Raiders fans.

Oh I think we'll see it, just when it's more obvious. There's no way they can keep tossing 20 flags a game. In the regular season you have to let them play.

they showed a graphic on the screen last night showing preseason penalties vs regular season penalties over the past 10 years . . . pretty consistent each year that in the regular season there was an average of 1 to 1.5 less penalties calle per game . . . last year there were approx 13.5 called per game in the preseason and 12.5 called per game in the regular season . . . and for the last 10 years the average has gone up from approx 10 per game in the preseason to 13.5, then to almost 19 this year . . . somethings got to give or this is going to be hard to watch

After watching the Browns game, I am concerned that RGIII might never "get it" and learn to protect himself on the run. As of today, unless this behavior of his changes, I expect him to be injured again this season while running and failing to get out of bounds or to slide in time to avoid a hit.

I'm sure that Robert understands the need to fix this problem on an intellectual level. But I suspect that what he does now is deeply ingrained in him and it has only become a behavioral problem now that he is in the NFL where he is competing against better athletes than he faced in college. Nevertheless, his behavior needs to change immediately if there is to be any hope of his playing a full season.

The Redskins coaching staff has failing to communicate to Robert the importance of protecting himself. Verbal communication hasn't worked. So now I think the staff needs to address this problem by replacing his current behavior with another learned behavior. To be specific, I think they should create special drills for him to practice exactly when to get out of bounds and when and how to slide. They should make him practice this over and over and correct him whenever he fails to adequately protect himself or slide properly during a drill. This needs to be a high priority and the staff needs to keep doing these drills until his behavior changes.

I'm serious about this. It is a major issue for Robert, this team, and the franchise. The coaching staff must teach him through repetition that the time for him to get out of bounds or slide is sooner than he is currently doing it.

breaking a bad habit is about dedication, focus and repetition . . . i think the coaching staff needs to take 20 minutes per practice and have defenders barrel down on him from different angles at full speed to get him to slide or get our of bounce, first on time, second properly . . .

Hes not gonna slide. I think we have to all realize that Griffin is going to literally play until the wheels fall off. He has a switch that has one speed. We saw it. Preseason couldn't slow down he just was gone.

So lets just rout for him and let him play his way until that happens. That's why Kirk is there. They'll do his best to make him slide but hes not a slow Tom Brady that can slide easy. Do this for me... go JOG and then slide... now SPRINT and then slide. Youll notice a difference.
