Are you kidding? He was abysmal. According to Pod Vader of espn's Football Today, Quinn was only the 4th quarterback in the last 20 NFL seasons to attempt at least 30 passes and gain less than 100 yeards passing. “Brady Quinn was bad”.

Well I will start off with my prayers are with Cribbs, and hope for a speedy recovery. He is a class act and our best player that had no business being on the field at that point. What was Mangini and Daboll thinking? I understand that you don't take a knee, but to run a stupid gadget play with 5sec. left was stupid. Of course the play calling throughout the game(and season for that matter)was ridiculous! How in the world is Daboll still offensive coordinator is mindboggling! Mangini should be FIRED for that choice alone! I mean players get suspended and fined for conduct detrimental to the team. Why not the coach? SIDE NOTE: ESPN just reported that Mangini is being investigated by players association for his conduct and coaching methods. As for Quinn...his performance was pretty much as I figured. He was a little less accurate than I expected. I don't totally blame him for the interceptions. Both balls should have been caught. They weren't perfect passes, but these are NFL WRs. They need to make those plays. What could you really expect from him though? He wasn't named starter until Wed. which meant he only had 3 days practice time as the starter. Plus he was playing against one of the better defenses in the league. You have to KEEP him as the starter! The defense was a bright note. They played hard the entire game against a pretty good offense. There is no doubt we need help on defense, but the job Ryan is doing with the players we have is great. Yes we are last in total defense, but they are playing 85% of the snaps taking on the field. I definitely agree that we need to blitz more. As for coaching I think Magini needs fired NOW! Instead of fighting on the sidelines with Ryan(whose players were prepared and playing their a$$es off) he should have been on the sidelines screaming at Daboll and asking him what the hell is going on with the offense that has scored 2 less touchdowns this year than the Saints defense!!! My wife watched the game by herself(I was at a buddies house watching)and she even said that she don't think Mangini cares, and my wife knows NOTHING about football. Why keep him around? The players hate him! He isn't going to be the coach next year anyhow, so why keep him around for the rest of this season? We did get a bit of bad news about possible coach replacement though with the announcement that Gruden wasn't going to leave MNF next year to coach. Now is this true, I don't know. I do know that money talks and if Lerner is willing to show the money anything is possible. A bright note about coaches that will be available; Charlie Wies looks like he will be out next year at Notre Dame. He would be an excellent offensive coordinator for the Browns. He is proven! He has a history with Brady Quinn(if he is going to be the starter next year). Just a thought. Bottom Line: FIRE MANGINI NOW!!!!! He is a disease worse than the swine flu and he is rapidly killing off the fan base!!!! Where to begin??? Well I will start off with my prayers are with Cribbs, and hope for a speedy recovery.
