Wow. Dangerous throw there.
I don't think you can expect Haden to consider all the possibilities there. It wasn't 4th down.Dumb move catching that ball, no?
True...I don't think you can expect Haden to consider all the possibilities there. It wasn't 4th down.Dumb move catching that ball, no?
I can't say that I agree with it but he was going for the win.someone please explain why mangini doesnt just run the ball and drain the clock . . . passing from the three was insanity . . .
going for the win on his own three with 90 seconds left???stupdity at its finest . . .I can't say that I agree with it but he was going for the win.someone please explain why mangini doesnt just run the ball and drain the clock . . . passing from the three was insanity . . .
Not really. If it was complete they would have had it at the 30 and only needed a FG.going for the win on his own three with 90 seconds left???stupdity at its finest . . .I can't say that I agree with it but he was going for the win.someone please explain why mangini doesnt just run the ball and drain the clock . . . passing from the three was insanity . . .
Imagine the criticism if Mangini runs the ball three times, thereby draining the clock and ending the game for a tie. He would be crucified in the media.They threw on first down.. the thought had to be they were trying to win the game, instead of playing for a tie. McCoy was sacked on 3rd down at the 2 after running on 2nd down
again, even P. Manning would be hard pressed to go 97 yards in 90 seconds - the decision made NO sense . . .They threw on first down.. the thought had to be they were trying to win the game, instead of playing for a tie. McCoy was sacked on 3rd down at the 2 after running on 2nd down
I wouldn't call the Browns a mediocre team (The lions on the other hand yeah they are mediocre and they couldn't even beat the worst team in the NFL today (Bills) )Hate to see the Jets playing close games against pretty mediocre teams, but another gutsy win. Sanchez is growing up before our eyes.
Just needed a FG, Chachi.again, even P. Manning would be hard pressed to go 97 yards in 90 seconds - the decision made NO sense . . .They threw on first down.. the thought had to be they were trying to win the game, instead of playing for a tie.

They almost had a big pass to Ben Watson over the middle but I believe McCoy overthrew him (if I'm remembering correctly). So yea, they were going for the win, Jason Taylor was kind of close to getting a safety as well.going for the win on his own three with 90 seconds left???stupdity at its finest . . .I can't say that I agree with it but he was going for the win.someone please explain why mangini doesnt just run the ball and drain the clock . . . passing from the three was insanity . . .
They needed 60 something yards a FG would have been good enough to Win.Mangini was in a no win situation at that point in the game as no matter how he called the plays there he would be second guessed endlessly.again, even P. Manning would be hard pressed to go 97 yards in 90 seconds - the decision made NO sense . . .They threw on first down.. the thought had to be they were trying to win the game, instead of playing for a tie.

So you would be saying "Great coaching!!!" if Mangini ran Hillis three times and got the tie?!?Everyone else would be calling him a #####.my stupidity , they only needed a FG - still 67 yards in 90 seconds would be tough . . .
Agreed. Browns are on the upswing. they need a playmaker at WR.I wouldn't call the Browns a mediocre team (The lions on the other hand yeah they are mediocre and they couldn't even beat the worst team in the NFL today (Bills) )Hate to see the Jets playing close games against pretty mediocre teams, but another gutsy win. Sanchez is growing up before our eyes.
There was so much talk throughout the week leading up to this game, and the fans in that stadium were really pumped up. Playing for the tie would not have gone over well.So you would be saying "Great coaching!!!" if Mangini ran Hillis three times and got the tie?!?Everyone else would be calling him a #####.my stupidity , they only needed a FG - still 67 yards in 90 seconds would be tough . . .
They need to keep Mangini and the staff. There are alot of good pieces in Cleveland. Solid O Line, bruising, all around back (with HArdesty coming back as well), and a very underrated tight end. Not to mention a rookie who has performed better than anyone could expect a rookie to perform against some very good teams. On defense, they have one glaring weakness . . . Eric Wright.Gut wrenching loss, but the problem wasn't going for the win in the final 90 seconds. We don't win this game and the playoffs are not a second thought, a tie is meaningless. Love everything about this team and while 2010 isn't going to be our year because we took too long to get going 2011 will be.Here we go Brownies, here we go!
no to mention the blantant hold to give sanchez a second to break freehorriblenysportsfan said:Details, details.GroveDiesel said:Nice block in the back right in front of the back judge on that play while Sanchez was scrambling.
