Browns Town

Minnesota 24, Browns 12

This game was so frustrating that after Dilfer threw the interception in the endzone, I turned it off. The Browns need help. Fast. Their offense was once again non-existant and their defense made some major mistakes. And once again, penalties and turnovers played a big part in this game. Let me break it down.

First of all, the offense was so out of sync. Dilfer had no protection from the line (again) and ended up getting sacked five times, fumbling twice, and throwing two interceptions. Droughns looked good for the most part, but the Browns should have given him the ball more often in the second half. What really left me puzzled was the final drive in the first half. At the two-minute warning, the Browns had the ball on the Minnesota Viking's 33- yard line. Then, with the clock stop at 0:47, Droughns had a 6-yard run. But instead of Dilfer stopping the clock with a timeout or a spike, he calls a quick play. Two false start penalties and an imcomplete pass later, the Browns have to settle for a field goal. This was so frustrating that they kept blowing opportunities like that. Like I said, I turned the game off in the fourth quarter. They did get an irrelevent touchdown later in the game, but it didn't matter.

So, this week was another failed mission and the Browns now have to focus on the 8-3 Jaguars. That should be fun. However, I heard that Leftwich broke his ankle in the last game, so the Browns might have a slim chance to compete.

Next game: December 3rd - vs. Jaguars
