If I'm the Browns I finish the year, fire Mangini, throw money and power (full personnel decision authority) at one of the big name coaches available (Shannahan, Cowher, Gruden, Dungy or even Holmgren) and plan on rebuilding for real this time. Take the lottery pick, trim all the fat (most of the roster aside from a couple OL) and don't trade for anymore former Jets.

If Lerner keeps Mangini around just because of his contract, he's going to go through this same crap until even Cleveland fans start to boycott the games.

Adam Schefter reported yesterday that the Browns job was Holmgren's to lose.

Yeah, but the catch is Peter King wrote the Browns are already still on the hook for huge amounts of money to Crennel and Phil Savage

And if Mangini goes, that would bring to at least $35-million the amount of money Lerner would be paying people to not work for the Browns.

Lerner has painted himself into a corner. No matter what he does it will be expensive and isn't going to see any results for at least a couple of years.

How the heck did Mangini get the job anyways?

Not to mention Kokinkos (sp?) the GM they just fired. Makes the Chiefs look leaps and bounds ahead of the Browns in terms of progress.

Complete domination by the Broncos and they're down by 4.

Hilarious.

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 08:12 PM

HUGE play. Steelers were getting a great drive going and the Broncos recover a fumble and run it back for a TD.

10-7 Broncos.

It's nice just being able to watch the game and not care either way who wins, lol.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-09-2009, 08:12 PM

Beautiful!

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 08:20 PM

Wow. 14-10 Steelers after the go 4 plays to drive 80 yards.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-09-2009, 08:28 PM

Great response by Pittsburgh. Wouldn't expect anything less.

Flickered Flame · 11-09-2009, 08:34 PM

Steelers have really taken over this quarter.

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 08:39 PM

Huge INT by the Broncos in the endzone. Pittsburgh has had opportunities to put the game away but are letting the Broncos hang around.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-09-2009, 08:45 PM

Broncos need a big offensive play. Steelers third down defense has done a complete 180 now.

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 08:52 PM

That was a pretty bad call on 3rd and 10.

Flickered Flame · 11-09-2009, 08:57 PM

Kyle Orton looks like the old Kyle Orton. I still think Denver needs to run before letting Orton pass.

Well defended. Never a bad call getting Marshall the ball in space. He's taken many of those for a first down.

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 09:03 PM

Nm

OILFAN #81 · 11-09-2009, 09:05 PM

Ouch. I think that will be the game if they punch it in. I feel bad for Denver's d. They have done everything to get the win. Denver's offense has sucked it up.

EDIT: Touchdown. 21-10 Steelers. That's game.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-09-2009, 09:09 PM

Orton's rushing out of the pocket. He's shaken. Give me Cutler in this situation.

Ya not good situation to be in. Orton is a not a deep ball QB ethier where we need to get big gains at this point of the game. Orton getting rattled by the Steelers pressure.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-09-2009, 09:17 PM

Denver is plenty good enough to win the division, but they'll have to make some pretty big strides on offense to win a playoff game, even with home field.
