Yes, Mangini's timeout was just as bad! But none of those plays or calls would have happened if Daboll wasn't an IDIOT!!! If you are wondering what I'm talking about; I believe it was at the 2 min. warning when the Browns were 3rd and 5. Detroit had already used their last timeout. Instead of running the ball like the 2 previous plays to eat up clock; Daboll calls a pass that ended up being incomplete. That play could have eaten up another 35-45 seconds off the game clock, which would have had them receiving the ball with just over a minute left and probably none of the boneheaded plays/calls would have taken place. Overall I was very excited to see Quinn and the offense do well in the game. I don't by any means believe this game to mean that Quinn is the future, but it is a good confidence builder and did show some of the things he is capable of. I know Jennings stats weren't the best, and YOU CAN MARK MY WORDS..he is going to be a top level running back!! His running style actually reminds me of Adrian Peterson. He is powerful enough to run you over, but has the moves to dodge you, and break it open. Trust me on this one. As for the defense; what on earth happened?!?! On MNF they played great. They hustled, gang tackled, and covered well. Maybe they just figured that if the offense wasn't going to show up, maybe they didn't have to? Maybe they've played so many minutes already in the season that they are exhausted? I know that Detroits WRs are much better than the Ravens, but this was ridiculous! I will honestly be surprised if Mangini makes it as HC for the next game. He might have a chance since the offense showed some life, but how do you lose a 24-3 lead in the 1st quarter to a 1-8 team? There is absolutly NO EXCUSES! And if the rumors are true, and Holmgren wants to come to Cleveland then it is just a matter of time anyhow. Bottom Line: HIRE HOLMGREN AS CZAR!! FIRE MANGINA, and do it soon! Buffalo has already beaten us to the punch and are having a meeting this week with Shanahan. Yes it was a bone head play by Poteat!
