But in the end the awful things swung the game for Cleveland.
Also, with names like Mulligan and Lekkerkerker, how can we lose?

i think many of us feel vindicated now that chris henry and paul williams have proven they suck big donkey balls……….i know that in general the feeling is we should always just accept our favorite teams draft decisions, but there was alot of uproar on here over chris henry and paul williams……..and rightfully so…….those picks should have been used on offensive or defensive lineman……

However, I think for the fumble, he would have dove in if this was a real game. It’s not a good idea for QBs to do Sage Rosenfels dives in games that are meaningless. The pick was pretty terrible, though. I agree those are the things that keep him off the field.

This game was the first one where i really loved our first team wideouts.
Also Jared Cook is the man.

I wouldn’t say the fumble was a big deal, because it was situation that we needed to score with no time outs and not enough time for a spike! He tried to make the score, but he didn’t so fumble or not it really didn’t matter the outcome would have been the same! Also his knee could have been down, but that really didn’t matter either because the half would have still ended! The interception was very ugly though, he still has the best stats of pre-season! Big things I see is that he can move the ball well and get TDs now unlike a few years ago when they settled for FGs alot! Go VY

Average, at best. He was responsible for a lost titans TD and a browns TD directly.

That throw was the reason in a nutshell that he is not the starting quarterback and Collins is

Fish wants someone who’ll protect the ball first, and a playmaker second. It’s that simple. Then again, Kerry needs to improve on his 4.5% INT percentage in a big way.

Still haven’t seen the full game…just highlights. FWIW, I think Vince scores in the regular season on the fumble.

At this point though, QB play isn’t really what concerns me. It’s the d-line. It feels like we’ve made strides at nearly every other position in the offseason. But, it remains to be seen how much Albert’s absence is going to impact this defense. We’re giving up ~8.0 Yards per passing play in the last two games. That’s high, especially compared to the ~5.0 in the final 3 games last year.

Hopefully it’s nothing to worry about. But, a lack of production from the front four will have a ripple effect through the entire team.

The Good.
Kerry Collins had another great game finishing 11/14 102 yards and a touchdown. I certainly liked the play where he fumbled it, recovered it, and hit Chris Johnson across the middle for a gain of 15.

Justin Gage showed again why he is our #1 receiver. That touchdown catch was a thing of beauty.

Our running game showed up this week after being absent this entire preseason. Chris Johnson finished with 7 for 27 yards.. Lendale finished 4 for 20 yards.

Fisher and his fake punts. :D

2/2 on 4th down conversations.

Quinton Ganther showed up tonight, watching Young throw a short 5 yard pass, and Ganther breaking and spinning out of tackles. Finished with 2 catches for 40 yards.

Our rookie receivers had another great outing, Jared Cook, Kenny Britt, and Dominique Edison all had productive games.

Lastly, Vince Young. His redemption drive brought back memory’s of his rookie year. Finishing the night 17/24 for 174 yards and a touchdown pass. Also with that 20 yard scamper was good to see.

I’d have to say. Our passing game is much improved from last year.

The Bad.
Kerry Collins getting sacked.

Tackling. Our defense pretty much sucked at tackling the last few preseason games.

Getting pressure on the quarterback, we have failed to do that all preseason long. Michael Griffin got our only sack.

The Ugly.
Vince Young’s poor decision making. That interception was terrible, it showed that whenever Young is pressured, he makes terrible decisions that are costly. That fumble was also terrible, he had Javon Ringer open, but he decided to be a hero and cost us 3 points or a touchdown by choosing to run into three defenders.

Mark Jones. I thought this guy was supposed to be our savior in the return game? He averaged 18 yards a return and also fumbled which led to a Browns touchdown.

Bironas’s blocked field goal. Ugh, that brought flashbacks to our 2000 playoff game against the Ravens.

2/5 in the redzone. Come on!

Our 2nd string secondary. Enough said on that matter.

Sean S. for being right on target with his observations. Kudos to you, sir. :)
