Yesterday’s 60 minutes of football was a pretty good review of the previous 8 games all in 1. They came out put together a very nice drive on their second possession and finished things off with a TD. Their next two drives resulted in another TD and a FG. A very god first half. They had an imaginative offense, that mixed pass and run very well. DA spread the ball well, the line gave him the time he needed and opened holes for Lewis. The D made plays when it needed to, continuing a bend but don’t break type of trend.
The second half brought out the bad Browns. They only had the ball once in the third and managed a couple of first downs before the drive stalled. The 4th quarter produced 2 FGs but here is the problem, first and goal from the 1 and Lewis is stopped for a loss of 1. What do they do next, throw twice. If you are int eh NFL and can’t get 2 yards in 2 downs on the ground, it is a problem. Just give Lewis the ball and let him score, its not that hard. The Jags fumbled the ensuing kick-off and the Browns were unable to get a yard and settled for a FG, using a mere 21 seconds. Hey RAC, keep the clock running when you have the lead that late int he game. Force the Jags to use their TOs right away. Enough complaining they won.
So next week the Ravens come to town. This is a huge game for our Brownies. They can get back to .500 and back in the play-off picture with a win. Four out of the next 5 are at home, it is time to make a move.
GO BROWNS!!
