Gone in 61 seconds.
Has an NFL season ever caved in on a team faster than it did on the Browns on Sunday?
Three-and-out, botched punt, four penalties on one play. All in 61 seconds.
And now Charlie Frye is going to be run out of town as the scape goat.
The special teams stink, the defense gets rolled after halftime and it is Charlie Frye's fault. Just like it was Tim Couch's fault and Trent Dilfer's fault and Kelly Holcomb's fault and so on.
Folks this is Randy Lerner's fault, this is Phil Savage's fault and this is Romeo Crennel's fault.
The team that these three put together quit 61 seconds into the season.
I don't think shipping Frye to Seattle is going to fix that.

Wow. That Frye UPS shipment out of town was fast. Didn't expect it to happen so soon or anything like this.
Too bad Reverend Pluto is no longer with the paper. I'm guessing his collar will remain at half-mast for the remainder of the season.

I agree it's not all Frye's fault but they probably should have shipped him out as soon as they drafted Quinn. The fans and press love Frye, who's a different style of quarterback than Quinn.
Frye needs to either roll out of the pocket or take a three step drop and throw right away, because he's terrible dropping back and reading defenses. With an offensive line that needs to gel, isn't it better to start playing the way that best suits Quinn and Jamal Lewis?
