herb mul-key Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I posted a similar thread "we almost lost to Philly"....and I got a little roughed up. We just are not an offesive scoring juggernaut...not sure if we can be... Would be nice to feel like we can score td's...often. Glad were winning and I'll take it...but we need more td's. Maybe we rumble down field for a TD if Portis doesn't fumble. We were on a roll. Sure we dominated the Browns but as you know...we almost went to OT and were vulnerable to a loss to the very end. We need to have the Detroit game won by start of the fourth quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truskinsfan18 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I agree, but to say we can't be is completely wrong. We have the best running back in the league. Once our passing game cathes up to our running game(which is the same form last year) we will be unstoppable on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailGreen28 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The offense wasn't horrible, but they oughta send "thank you" cards to the defense for the win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sorry bro, thats not the way the league works. The Browns get paid too. This isn't college football. If you get roughed up, its your own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnewbs Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hmmm I think the team is fine in the second half....but in nearly every game so far this year the team seems to just drag *** on the field the first half....coaches,players, trainers, everyone. I think if they could get rhythm started earlier in the game we would be a more potent offense but I don't agree with the OP that the Detroit game must be won in the 4th quarter.....it would a nice nice feeling but the game is four quarters long and the team needs to be playing just as hard in the fourth quarter regardless if the game feels as if its been won or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skin_finatic Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 the offense just needs to sustain drives. too many 3rd and longs, but who cares, we won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieBrooks2Canton Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lets keep in mind that these are NFL players. I don't think any team is so bad that your gonna have a guaranteed steamroll. This isn't college or high school where the good teams usually blow out the bad ones. "Any Given Sunday...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconBlue Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sorry bro, thats not the way the league works. The Browns get paid too. This isn't college football. If you get roughed up, its your own fault. There is wisdom in those words. 5-2 is 5-2, yes Id like more scoring too but Im more than happy with what we've done.

TheItalianStallion Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 With all of the success we've had thus far this season, it's easy to forget that we're only 7 games into a newregime with a new system, and our rooks are still maturing. Our offense is still a work in progress. Zorn wants to be 60/40 in favor of passing. During the win streak, I think we were close to 50/50, which is probably what's best for us at this stage in the Zorn era. However, in tonight's game we were closer to 40/60. I think we should've been 50/50; this might've gotten us more than 14 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Zorn is getting conservative...too conservative True but isn't that why we have less turnovers then any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker77 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The only positive on the offense was Portis (obviously). We need some production from these rookies. So far it looks as if they are going to be observing most of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck812 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Actually this is the way superbowl seasons tend to start. A team finding a way to win games then get hot at the end of the year. We are right on target right now.... We just need to keep finding ways to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedlightG20 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I agree that we are leaving our opponents in the game when we should be putting them away. It seems our offense can move the ball into our opponent's territory, but once there its tough to keep the drive going. We are beating these teams soundly when you look at the stats, but the scoreboard doesn't normally show how much we dominate the games. Just seems like we focus more on running in the opponent's territory when they begin to expect it, and we leave ourselves in 3rd and long situations often. Keep the foot on their throat and pass the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf85 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Zorn is getting conservative...too conservative Yep I was wondering if Gibbs was calling the plays today.:doh: If it wasn't for Portis this team would be done. Portis is the heart of the team and is a ****ing beast. I better not see one thread in here about is ability and his heart being questioned. This guy is the real deal with over 800 yds already in the season. I have to thank CP for the 5 wins we have and Zorn should also be thanking CP for helping him become a winning team so far.

Thirtyfive2seven Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm happy with the wins. I don't care how they happen. The defense is playing on another level all together. The offense will come together in time. Remember this IS a new system. Campbell needs more time to really get a handle on things, as well as the receiving corps. I agree with Truskinsfan18, the Lions game could/should be the time to break out and really hammer someone. HAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinklein Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 "If we score more Touchdown's, we have a better chance of winning." Profound thought, dude. It becomes more clear to me every time you post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
