- What I'm saying today: Romeo Crennel should be fired. Not at the end of the season. Not at the end of the week. Today. Football fans tend to think irrationally after a bad beat, but the Browns systematically broke down and gave up on Sunday. Crennel clearly doesn't have the ability to be an NFL head coach.
A quick glance at the lowlights:
- The quarterback of the future gets benched for a guy who couldn't keep his job.
- Your sure-handed running back has two fumbles.
- Your All Pro left tackle has two penalties.
- The Pro Bowl wide receiver drops four more passes (the tracker will be updated later today).
- Arguably the best player on the team, Kellen Winslow, got his only catch with three minutes remaining in the game.
- The fans chant for a coach who was the leader of the rival team for 15 years.
- The offensive coordinator, who looked like a surefire future head coach following last season, abandons the running game when it's successful and calls several plays for Stonehands Edwards.
- The biggest cheer of the second half? Penalties on the Texans.
There are several more. Share one if you have it. Let your frustration out here at the Bulletin.
There were actually some highlight, as crazy as that sounds.
- Jamal Lewis ran very well, going for a 5.8 clip. Sadly, he only got 10 carries.
- Kamierion Wimbley had his best game of the season.
- Phil Dawson and Shaun Rogers look like Pro Bowl players.
- I had a delicious steak after the game.
It is time we toss Romeo, Savage and Edwards.
This team is really looking bad, and we have to do something quick.
Being a Browns fan for over 32 years, I can say this is getting way too familiar. Here we go again….rebuilding. While I am not a Romeo fan and never have been; the problems start much higher than him. An absent owner, an egotistical GM(who just threw RAC under the bus to save his own a—)If the Browns are ever going to restore pride and put(real)professionals on the team, then it needs to start from the top. If Randy doesn't have enough interest or football knowledge…then sell the team to someone who will want to restore the days of glory in Brownstown. Although the 80's bring back some painful playoff memories; at least we were proud of our team and our team loved their fans. I do not think that Cowher football will come to Cleveland, but he isn't the only answer. I guess until some major changes are made, I will continue to torture myself every sunday!!
