The Browns did the exact opposite of what they did against the Giants last Monday night and jammed up the middle of their offense. I kept track for some reason in the first half and it went like this: Pass, Run, Pass, Punt.
It sickened me like no other Browns' play calling has in a long time . Why the Browns rely on the slant pattern time and time again is a mystery. Derek Anderson has tried to throw that slant for the past two years and it has worked maybe 30% of the time. When you need a first down that's not good enough.
Still, the Browns had a chance at the end, and moving the ball another 10 or so yards would've put them into makeable field goal range. Instead they threw it long- unlike earlier in the game where it was all double tightends, I-formations, short passes and three & outs it was throw it deep because heaven forbid we have to go into overtime:
The Browns kicked a 54 yard field to try to tie it up and it missed.
Nothing I saw today was winning football.
Derek Anderson- the Cleveland Browns started two drives in the first half at the Redskins' 45 and could not get a first down either time.
Not surprisingly Jerome Harrison was a non factor in this game and I swear I never heard his name called until the second half. I don't understand.
Derek Anderson has had one good game this year out of 6. The Browns drafted Quinn for a reason. It is time.
Derek Anderson was 14 out of 37 today.
