Right the coach who has gotten the freaking Browns to 7-7 somehow this year should be fired. That'd be about the most classic Browns move you could ever make. Fire the one guy whose turned the entire organization around, because of one dumb decision on draft day.

They benched the QB who'd gotten them to that 7-6 record, and is 10-6 as the team's starter, in favor of a rookie who's clearly not ready, in a game against the division leader, game 14.

Yes, if your coach is that stupid, you fire him immediately.

I heard that the owner of the Browns demanded the drafting of Manziel after talking to a homeless man who wanted him on the team.

Yeah, it's brutal that the coach would bench a QB who had quarterbacked the Browns (of all teams) to a 7-6 record. Granted, Hoyer was not lighting the NFL on fire with his play, but I find it hard to believe he did not give the Browns a better chance to win a key divisional game in a situation where they were still mathematically alive for a playoff berth.

Manswell sucks...we all KNEW that...now we all know it again. That was craptastic today...embarrassing ...humiliating...just use all the "ings" you can think of. Just wish the Rats had drafted him.

Was that actually his decision? We know the track record of this organization, wouldn't surprise me if the ownership pressured him to start Manziel to see what they had in the guy.

This is trending towards an RG3 disaster for that organization, however, Pettine is a hell of a coach. They've recycled so many coaches over the years, he looks to be the one good fit for them.

Hoyer was a big part in them having a winning record also. As bad as his stats were, he kept that team afloat

What's the point of the "time to next play" on an incomplete pass?

I think that should be "time to the next Philadelphia 3 and out"

Giants should have been flagged for using those tactics in the first SB.

I don't know, which is why I phrased my initial post the way I did:

I dn't know if it was coach, GM or owner, but the person who made the deicison to go to Manziel needs to be fired (GM/Coach) or barred from ever making player decisions again (owner).

Mac computers? Questionable decision making by Murray

Well making the comment that a coach whose gotten the perennial joke of the NFL to at least a .500 record is closer to coach of the year material. Even if it was his decision, certainly not a fireable offense.

Plenty of coaches whiff on QBs. Its the most difficult position to develop in the NFL.

No need to worry. Woody will demand they get him as soon as he's for sale.

BTW, next monday night its Broncos @ Bengals. ESPN and Gruden have be preparing for the Manning ballwashing montage for 15 weeks, so brace yourself...

I think Denver's d will win that one when Dalton ****s the bed. Peyton probably isn't going to put up a lot of points. That game will be tough to watch. Dalton probably throws two pick sixes.

I stand by my initial comment. You responded to that post without actually reading it, apparently.

Manning can throw 5 picks but the broadcast will still bend over and wash his ... until the game is over and long before the game starts.

Wish this were at 1pm. Dalton sucks in primetime.

If it was Pettine's call to draft and then play Manziel in week 15, I still wouldn't be calling for Pettine's head if I were a Browns fan. I'd be grateful to the guy that you were even in the playoff hunt to begin with. That is my point.

Dalton just sucks in general.

God help us if Manziel becomes a hall of fame QB. They're ballwashing him in blowout losses. It'd be Peyton Manning x10000
