Go.
Pat Shurmer didn't decide to throw to Alex Smith. He was clearly not the primary option as Weeden held it looking downfield for quite a while before eventually throwing a bad pass out to his right.That Baltimore series happened because on 3rd and 1 Pat Shurmur decided to pass to seldom used TE Alex Smith which lead to a punt by suddenly-sucky punter Reggie Hodges who wilted with a 31 yard punt.Then LB D'Qwell Jackson looked like a punk as he got BLASTED back into the endzone and didn't even get free till Rice was three yards over the goal line. Unbelievably bad football for Cleveland.
They've gotten stuffed trying to run the ball on short yardage enough this season that you can't fault them for mixing it up.Wy are the browns throwing on 3rd and 1? This is th second time

Thanks. Makes sense I guess.This>>>Richardson is last among the top 47 NFL players in third-and-1 offense, converting just 2-of-7. For comparison's sake, Rice is tied for first with 5-of-5.Wy are the browns throwing on 3rd and 1? This is th second time
"[The coaches] just tell me, 'You've got to do whatever to get the first down,' " Richardson. "If it's dive in there, get down low, jump over the piles, whatever. We've all got to move the pile. That's one thing we're lacking in, and it's one thing we've been working on all week. We'll be better on Sunday."
a couple of nice throws in there from Weeden. Hope the offense keeps driving forward.Sweet run by TRich.
Rice is the best on 3rd and 1: it's Shonn Greene with 7 of 7.Gore is 2 of 6.This>>>Richardson is last among the top 47 NFL players in third-and-1 offense, converting just 2-of-7.

“[The coaches] just tell me, ‘You’ve got to do whatever to get the first down,’ ” Richardson. “If it’s dive in there, get down low, jump over the piles, whatever. We’ve all got to move the pile. That’s one thing we’re lacking in, and it’s one thing we’ve been working on all week. We’ll be better on Sunday.”
He has to stop showboating on every catch especially when the team is down on the scoreboard. Also that stat was from this morning's PD on converting 3rd and 1.Little is looking better.
One more Dawson FG and we'll take the lead!!Third & nine, we throw to the line of scrimmage. I thought we took that sheet out of the play book after all the success with it from last year but they've ran it twice now with the same result. Need 3, we'll get 3Need 7, we'll get 3![]()
The Ravens began the game by pounding the rock very effectively and Flacco was red-hot hitting everything but he had everything open to him because he wasn't in obvious passing downs.The Browns-D has clamped down on the run, forcing a lot of third and longs and I've seen the Browns LBers all over Rice as he releases from his block coming out.Basically a combination of many things but he is in there on passing downs but he's been covered.Why is Rice not part of the passing game today? Just being defended well?
Phil Dawson is amazing.Browns are spoiled to have such a great kicker.He doesn't get nearly the amount of credit that he deserves.
Haslam should fire him by tomorrow to give the interim the bye week to get this team in shape. Shurmur is terrible!Pat Shurmer cannot be fired soon enough.
Hell, Holmgren's not doing anything. Let him coach out the season. That 4 and 2 play! Oh, I can't take it!Haslam should fire him by tomorrow to give the interim the bye week to get this team in shape. Shurmur is terrible!Pat Shurmer cannot be fired soon enough.
