Cleveland Browns -- Holy Cuyahoga!

Bones of a decent team marred by stupid penalties and conservative play-calling.

Minnesota did everything they could to hand Cleveland the win, but the Browns just wouldn't comply. "Nope," said Cleveland. "We play to lose."

That said, I thought rookie QB Dillon Gabriel played very well in his debut start. Dude was saddled by poor play from his left tackle, several procedure penalties, and very unimaginative plays in the second half.

Your assessment was spot on, why aren’t we on tv?

we're looking forward to a bye week for the "make-shift" offensive line to recover from multiple injuries, including 3 inactives and one with limited availability. Making it hard to assess what we've got at QB with McCarthy vs Wentz when the line in front of him is held together with duct tape and baling wire.

Hopefully he can put his personal issues behind him and just shine on the gridiron for years.
