Then may...I would rather the Browns have lost 41-0. Then maybe we'd be on the fast track to a new head coach. Instead, the Browns played semi-competitive football and we are left with the ruse that the Browns are maybe just a tweak here and there from winning.<BR/><BR/>Not a chance. This team can't get out of its own way on game days. Nevermind the field goal to make it 10-6, the botched clock management at the end of the first half and DA's two what-was-he-thinking interceptions. The root problem is that nobody on the Browns sideline steps up and takes charge.<BR/><BR/>That's how you get bad clock management, 10-second runoffs, needless timeouts, delay of game penalties and an overall feeling that the process of getting the play from Rob Chudzinski's desk to DA's headset is a Chinese fire drill. How many times has DA looked to the sideline with his arms up as if to say "Where's the play?"<BR/><BR/>Game management with Crennel and his staff is a severe weakness. Combined with DA's tendency to make bad reads and force things, and it's easy to see why the Browns have scored 16 points in two games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
