Browns F Themselves, Get F'ed
First things first: Quncy Morgan is the worst receiver to wear a Browns uniform since, oh, Andre Rison. This sack of sh!t can't catch and, in fact, he can't even try and catch. WHAT IS HIS PURPOSE ON THE FIELD? He drops balls in the end zone. He fails to dive for balls within his reach. He fails to even step up and try and snag crucial late-game first-downs even even if it means a defender catching the ball. THE GUY IS WORTHLESS AND A HINDRENCE TO THIS TEAM BEING GOOD. His final stas today: 1 catch for 11 yards. What his final stats should have been: 3 catches 85 yards, if not more. Pathetic.
Coaching: There is 2:10 left in the game, DAL has the ball on first down, Browns have two time outs. After stopping DAL on a short run the Browns call a time out with 2:04 left. WHY?!?!?!?!?!? All this does is give DAL the option to pass on the next play!!!! Sure enough, they throw a long bomb to Glenn and the endgame begins. Anyone who plays freaking John Madden on the PS2 knows not to call a timeout in that situation.
Overall I can't really fault any specific player for this loss, except maybe Robert Griffith. There were so many penalties, so many little mess ups, so many ponderous play calls. Not to mention a few questionable officiating decisions (DAL offsides on Garcia/Jackson's INT, Glenn pushing off late, a unsportsmanlike conduct on Little for tackling the receiver, giving DAL 3 points, etc.
In the end, the most damaging thing to the Browns today was that they came out and go overwhelmed early and never could quite recover. They somehow were not prepared for the fact that DAL would throw the ball aggressively, despite the fact that this was a case of their opponent's strong point against their own teams perceived weakness.
Second most damaging was Robert Griffith's complete inability to defend the pass. You say I'm crazy, he had a big interception? Well he put DAL inside the 10 twice by not playing the ball. The first misplay when Keyshawn caught the ball at the 1 was a joke -- the safety should be among the smartest guys on the defense and ours was making a wild guess where the ball would be, leaping past the receiver when he could have made an easy play and knocked down the ball. Later he did virtually the same thing and gave up another long ball. While I admire his aggressive instincts at times, I think this dude gives up far, far more big plays than he creates. At the SAFETY position your job is to prevent big plays. Griffith is guaranteed to manufacture one for the opposing offense at least once a week. Probably more.
Annoyed, dissappointed in Rocky River. I'm out.
