As for us, if we do bench Ponder I don't really care either way. We can't seem to pass block so I'm not sure it matters much.

Really? You don't think hitting Webb in the end zone makes a difference? Or Jennings on that out route? These are game changing throws that any average or above QB makes. Can we quit blaming the blocking already? :wallbang:

A team that went with a 3rd string QB and no running game AT ALL, and we made them look good. We gave up 31 points to a 1 dimensional team on the road in a hostile environment that went almost a year since their last 30 point game.
One dimensional? I thought the Browns were zero dimensional -- unless you count fake kicks.

We were pitiful. We were ready to lose, no matter the opponent. Truly rock bottom.

We should make a trade to NE for Mallet. I bet he has received the correct coaching so far, so the jokers here cant mess him up too much. He is who should have picked up in the 3rd round anyway, not reach for a 3rd roundd turd in the 1st.

Yeah, even I'm having trouble finding the silver lining in this one. This one hurts.

San Diego went 0-4 with a minus 7 turnover ratio the first 4 games and made the playoffs. So it is possible. Not probable.

I agree. It's hard to find a positive when we lost at home to the Browns...
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
