This one goes down in my history as payback for the f-ing 2007 game with Phil Graham (or whoever- seeing the name typed I think that was the chinless GOP Senator from TX) bouncing a last second FG off the curved support thing on the goalpost, and dragging Ray and half the team out of the showers to lose in OT. I've seen some ugly in person (Cundiff/Evans in AFCCG @ NE, Rex giving NE five goal-to-go downs in 2007, this year's Jax game,etc.) but I've never lost my sh*t like that night vs. Cleveland

I was at that game. Me & my buddy were halfway to the parking garage when a guy with an open car window called out to us "Hey, the game is still going." We were like, what?

I was walking to Lot O and listening on the radio when I found out the game was not over. I got to my van and pulled out the TV we had, to watch that loss. One of my group had gone back in after he found out it was not over.
So I guess it is not over until it is over - after further review.

Johnny Manziel - QB - Browns
Coach Mike Pettine indicated Wednesday that he is open to turning back to Johnny Manziel as the Browns' starter at some point.
The Browns spent all of last week trashing Manziel publicly for allegedly "lying" to them about some video of him partying. Days after losing Josh McCown to a fractured collarbone, the Browns are now rethinking their stance on Manziel. "This is a weekly thing," Pettine said of the decision between Johnny Football and Austin Davis. "It's Austin for this week and I'm not going to go beyond that. We'll revisit this (week to week)." The decision will come down to Davis' performance.

They have their own version of "How the world turns" or something like that. Pettine is gone at the end of the year, Gruden hexed him, LOL.

Talk about someone you would want to have as your DC! I would take Pettine in a heartbeat. Ties to our D, and to the glory days of our D; a very good coach who did well "on his own" in Buffalo after leaving from under Rex Ryan's wing; and someone who seems to be a genuinely good guy.
(I got that last impression from the book Collision Low Crossers, where he features pretty prominently. I gained some respect for him, reading that book.)
If Pagano or Pettine replaced Pees this offseason, I'd be quite happy.

Ravens getting Pettine would be another chapter to the browns story, SMH.
Re: The Loser Mentality That Is Cleveland
I Would welcome Pettine with open arms he is a good coach the browns are just a bad bad organization, when you keep firing coaches and GMs the one common denominator you have left is the owner then you see the root of the problem there.
Re: The Loser Mentality That Is Cleveland
Look at their schedule down the stretch. Brutal and with a 3rd string QB

Manziel would be better off on the bench against the teams they're about to play. A little protection
