I get it he blows. But he and Gordon DID connect on a TD to get the lead. Then our defense shits the bed. How is that Weeden's fault? He played well enough for us to win. It wasn't pretty, believe me, I know he blows. But it hard blaming him when the defense gave up the go ahead TD.
The defense far from sucked.
When the offense (one player) turns it over 3 times in 3 minutes and spots the Jags 14 points before the half...
Then comes a safety (2 more points) and puts the defense right back on the field while giving Jax good field position yet again, it's hard to blame the defense. Haden got beat and I'll give you that. But Weeden was pitiful.
Can't judge the whole defense as a whole on one TD lol.
Browns fans have adjusted to accept mediocrity I guess.
What are you talking about. You can't judge a defense on the final drive, that cost us the game? If you're a good defense, you get off the field against a shitty offense like this. It's absurd if you really think they were good today. They were horrible.
Edited the original post. Not making an argument that the defense played great, just that Weeden deserves a huge amount of blame for the loss
I for once don't blame Weeden. Haden got burnt and cost us the game. Our defense sucked today. Offense played well enough to win.
Weeden blows, I know that. I'm just saying he DID give us the lead (more so Gordon granted), and we were in position to win. The JAGS ARE HORRIBLE! We should be off the field, run the clock out, game over. I don't expect Weeden to be Tom Brady, he's not. We were in position to win the game, and he actually didn't cost us that position for once. That's my only small compliment to give him. I know he gave up all those points in the first half, but that's why you play 60 minutes and not just 30.
You can't argue that. I am stun, I don't know. This is just a really bad loss for this team.
