Cleveland Browns - 3

Browns record: 1-6

"It's a very disappointing performance across the board," Mangini said. "I don't think we played very well. I don't think we coached very well. I thought we were making progress in a lot of areas. I don't think we showed that today -- at all."

Week 6 @ Pittsburgh

Final Score:
Pittsburgh Steelers - 27
Cleveland Browns - 14

Browns record: 1-5

EIGHT turnovers between the two teams in the game.  It's pretty hard to turn the ball over four times and win a game...unless, of course, the other team turns it over four times as well.  How bad was it?  The third quarter ended with four turnovers (two each) over a span of nine plays.

Week 5 @ Buffalo

Final Score:
Cleveland Browns - 6
Buffalo Bills - 3

Browns record: 1-4

The Browns finally picked up a win, but they looked much better in their loss the previous week to Cincinnati.  This game, though, may have ended the debate on whether Cleveland is the worst team in the NFL - Buffalo looked truly awful.  The Browns' performance doesn't instill any sense of hope as they head into a road matchup against the defending world champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Week 4 vs. Cincinnati

Final Score (in OT):
Cincinnati Bengals - 23
Cleveland Browns - 20

Browns record: 0-4

Without a doubt the Browns' best performance of the year.  They played like an NFL team and bounced back from both a pitiful performance last week and a handful of disappointments over the course of the game.  If the team can continue to come together this well, they may be on their way to turning this thing around.

Week 3 @ Baltimore

Final Score:
Baltimore Ravens - 34
Cleveland Browns - 3

Browns record: 0-3

People who were honest with themselves were expecting a Ravens win, but this was demoralizing.  The defense played better, although it certainly didn't show in the final score as the Ravens offense got four extra cracks at it.  Moreover, in benching a starter that he took too long to name in favor of sending a rusty QB who hasn't had quality practice time with the first squad in against an elite defense, Mangini has reignited the QB controversy that has torn this team apart for the past two seasons.  His personnel decisions continue to confound and confuse everybody who's watching...and more and more threaten to decrease the number of those who are.

Week 2 @ Denver

Final Score:
Denver Broncos - 27
Cleveland Browns - 6

Browns record: 0-2

There were some growing pains - rookie Alex Mack looked extremely uncomfortable, particularly in the shotgun - but a lot of bad scheming and execution.  The Josh Cribbs experiment isn't working on offense and Brady Quinn isn't convincing anybody that he's the answer at quarterback (his QB rating is currently 28th among active QBs).  The mix of receivers isn't giving any of them the reps that a group of young players need - particularly since all concerned were looking at this as a rebuilding season.  The future is NOT now - most fans knew that going into the season and were fine with it.  This is a work in progress, but please start to show us some progress.

Week 1
vs Minnesota

Final Score:
Minnesota Vikings - 34
Cleveland Browns - 20

Browns record: 0-1

The Browns defense played a strong first half and it's hard to fault a team for failing to contain Adrian Peterson.  The team really seemed to drop off in the second half, though, getting away from a first half approach that saw them flying to the ball and tackling well in the open field.  Offensively, the team continued to show nothing.  Quinn was unable to stretch the field (despite over 200 yards passing, he averaged only 5.9 yards per attempt), was intercepted once, sacked five times and fumbled the ball when it fell out of his hand as he tried to throw and spent too long standing in the pocket.  With only one real playmaker on offense (Edwards), Quinn only managed to get him the ball once (other than the reversed touchdown), with tight ends and r Read More »
