First, I have to say that I laugh when I read comments from all these people who say Romeo should have benched Edwards. I'm sure everyone would have loved watching Donte Stallworth and, um, Syndric Steptoe? Yes, I'm certain our offensive line could have kept the defense off our QB long enough for one of those stellar receivers to get open. If there had been ANY other decent receivers on the team I would have been all for benching Edwards. But unless you're planning on running the ball every play there's no way you could put Edwards on the bench because you'd have nobody left to throw to. And I'm certain that we can all evaluate the talent on this roster better than the Browns' coaches. I mean, we get to see them play for what, 20-25 minutes a week? The coaches only see them for a few HOURS every DAY. I'm sure they couldn't know more than we do. Has anyone considered the reason Jerome Harrison didn't play more is perhaps he can't block? I don't know if that's the case, but you can't look at one aspect of the game and think, "This guy should be playing more, look at him run". Braylon Edwards leveled a guy with a block, maybe he should be playing on the offensive line.

Tammy is right on the money when she says this team lacks consistency. You don't see too many teams change coaches every 3 years and have a whole lot of success. Was Romeo perfect? Did he make all the right decisions? No, of course not. But the last time I checked no coach has ever made all the right decisions all the time. But it's just like a baseball manager taking his starting pitcher out in the 9th inning of a close game. If the bullpen comes in and blows the game people bitch because he took the starter out. If the manager leaves the guy in there and the starter blows the game people bitch because he left him in. Coaches draw up game plans, call plays, and decide who gets playing time. If the players are a bunch of no-talent hacks then Vince Lombardi himself isn't going to beat anybody with them. And as far as Romeo not showing any emotion, I believe there's another guy with a bunch of Super Bowl rings on his fingers who rarely shows emotion on the sidelines. I think his name is Belichick or something? Funny how he went from being a horrible head coach in Cleveland to being a great head coach in New England. I'm sure the talent he was given to work with didn't have anything to do with it. As the saying goes:"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". Is Romeo a good coach? I don't know. But I do know I would have liked to have seen what he could do with some good players. I also know that making players learn a new system every couple of years is not a good recipe for success. Fortunately for us we all know that the coaches we run out of Cleveland never amount to anything.

Most people probably think the Browns' defense is worse than their offense. But the team finished at +5 in turnover ratio and the defense was 2nd in the league in turnovers behind Baltimore. Can you believe this defense had 23 INTs and 8 fumble recoveries? They also ranked in the middle of the pack(17th) in points allowed. If Phil Savage would have addressed the offense, especially the receivers, a little more after Joe Jurevicius and Ryan Tucker went down the season probably would have turned out a whole lot better.

While there are exceptions, most of the time changing coaches is like putting new hub caps on a car with a cracked head, leaky radiator, and broken oil pump. It may make it look prettier, but it's not going to fix a damn thing. The only thing that's going to fix this team are some new players. Whoever ends up coaching this team next year I wish him a lot of luck because he's going to need it.
