Game 2 – Bengals
In a complete turn around from last week, the offense was on target. The rookies were outstanding passing for over 300 yards and running for over 100. The offense was much better than boring and only gave up one turnover on a fumble by Ogbannaya after a hard hit downfield. Somehow we scored 3 TDs on offense!
The defense however were with out our 2 starting CB, Hayden and Sheldon Brown. It showed with several Bengals beat our secondary for a TD.
We lost again by a single score. I think the team will lose 1-2 games we could have won if Hayden were in. Luckily he’ll be back in 3 games. I’m still predicting 4 wins although the upside looks possible
Game 1 – Eagles
Our first week at Recess Arcade Bar was a success, even though we repeatedly lose, our fans show up in troves. We filled the bar with 150+ Brows fans cheering until the final minute. I’m reminded of what it means to be a Browns fan. Excitement, joy, letdown.
Eagles 2012
The defense was outstanding, creating 5 turnovers and almost had a couple more. Holding the Eagles to 17 points after we gave them 4 turnovers keeps the hope alive for the season.
Even with a stellar defensive performance the offense was disappointing. Weeden had 4 interceptions and missed some targets deep, going 12/35 ending with a 5.1 QB rating. I have to think Colt could have managed the game for a win. Trent Richardson didn’t have an outstanding performance either going for 39 yards on 19 carries. It’s hard to fault him for the lack luster showing, the o-line couldn’t create much of a push upfront. He did make an outstanding hit that popped the helmet off Kurt Coleman, leaving him with a split lip and chin.
The season and the future of the Browns will be determined on this year’s draft with Richardson, Weeden and Gordon. I hope Weeden will settle down and prove to be an elite QB. Richardson needs a little time to get his legs back after getting a knee scope at the beginning of preseason.
I have us going 4-12 for the season. The tough schedule will cost us a couple games and the rookies on offense won’t get it together until the second half of the season.
