The Cleveland Browns are of to a devastating 0-4 start, but it's how we have lossed these games. Duke Johnson said it best after the loss to the Washington Redskins, "That's what's most upsetting: We're knocking on the door...We're just not finishing." Now, I'm not going to say that the Browns should have won those games, but they very easily could have a 3-1 record right now. It started with the home opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

After forcing a punt, it took just one play to reach the end zone as Isaiah Crowell broke out for an 85 yard rush. The momentum …show more content…

We shoot oursleves in the foot time and time again. It happened in the Redskins game too. After quickly falling behind by two touchdowns, Cleveland turned things around to tie the game and even take the lead. While securing a three point lead in the second half, the errors started occurring. Malcolm Johnson fumbled, killing a beautiful drive that probably would have resulted in a Cleveland touchdown. On the next two drives, Duke Johnson coughed up the ball and Cody Kessler was picked off by the defense. Ultimately, the team is digging it's own grave. Cleveland just needs to get back to the basics and develope good tendencies. Practicing good sportsmanship should be simple enough. Terrelle Pryor has been flagged twice for this offense, although one is debatable, it's the one that cost us the Ravens game. Discipline is important and should be emphasized because penalties are killing this team. The Browns are the seventh most penalized offense and the defense is 14th. Timely flags have killed offensive drives, but kept them going on the other side of the ball too. If Cleveland just plays solid, clean football, then I believe they could have won those games and down the road as

For the first time since 1990, the New York Giants are the reigning Super Bowl champions. Their thrilling victory over the 18-0 New England Patriots is already being called one of the greatest football games every played.

Since the Cleveland Browns returned to the NFL in 1999, the dedicated fans of the Dawg Pound haven’t had much to celebrate. Years of management and roster overhauls created a tumultuous situation that resulted in mostly sub-.500 records and inconsistency that a club needs to succeed. This season saw another chaotic year in the always competitive AFC North when the struggling club must contend with the often-powerhouse Bengals, Ravens and Steelers six times a season. The year resulted in another below .500 record and the ouster of head coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer almost immediately after the team’s loss to the Steelers on the final week. And just like that, the Browns and the Cleveland faithful were back to square one

Just under three head coaches since the 1970’s, Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a very consistent team. They do not fire head coaches. This is very important as they like to let their coaches figure it out rather than simply firing them. Under the current head coach, Mike Tomlin, they have never held a losing season. As they say, consistency is key, the Pittsburgh Steelers have run the same defense system for decades.

Let's be honest here, tonight’s game was strange with a never ending play, and with the referee mistranslating the cues though it had an exciting ending for Arizona. The game was held at the University of Phoenix Stadium where the Cardinals mistakes almost cost the game. As the Cardinals missed points it allowed Baltimore to score eight points late in the fourth quarter. Indeed, it was a scene from the movie Hocus Pocus. Let me start from the beginning to give you a clear picture of the game.
