Ok terje, Brian – you guys win. I revert back to my "Mangini is the Devil" post.

quinn didn't take responsibility for the play call because he didn't make it.

To be fair to Pat, he said the play call was inane…he didn't say Mangini was to blame.

And the guys on The Point After claimed that it was a called play, despite what Mangini claimed. So, they weren't really wrong either.

Some commenters on this blog did blame Mangini directly for the play. I'm a little surprised Quinn didn't speak up immediately and take the heat for the play call. The one thing I admired about him was he acted like a leader and took the heat even if a receiver ran the wrong route, whereas it seemed D.A. was always casting aspersions on his teammates if mistakes were made.

Lewis-type badmouthing of the bosses isn't going to get him a raise. Cribbs has zero credibility. Yes, Quinn called it at the line, and Delonte West was the second shooter on the grassy knoll.

tim, there's still no proof mangini didn't make that call. the only guy who can clear that up is quinn….and he hasn't done that.

Well Brian, I applaud that you have come on here and aired the truth about the last play, even though you were so sure that Mangini was lying. I doubt that Pat or any other local or national media that lambasted Mangini since Monday night will say a word. If they do, it will be with little fanfare and will be shoved on the "back page".

as far as cribbs knows the call was made from the line. but quinn's the guy with coaches barking orders in his headset. there is not one single quote from brady quinn saying that he made that call on his own.

Solomon, yes Pat did work for the Browns…Art Modell had him clean the troughs at the old stadium after games.
