Well…At Least Pittsburgh Lost

Colt McCoy Sets 2 Cleveland Browns Records And Loses

Colt McCoy had his first 300 yard game (350) and set two Cleveland Browns franchise records today and still failed to get the Browns a touchdown in the first quarter of play. This is the fourth game in a row the Browns quarterback failed to score a touchdown for his team in the First quarter of play.   The Browns offense sure could us a little help. Mike Holmgren cannot be thrilled with what he has seen thus far this season from his young Cleveland Browns team and their new west coast style offense.

McCoy is able to move the Browns between the thirties, whenever he gets his team into the red zone the Browns offense just sputters. One has to wonder if this is the Browns lack of skilled receivers or the Browns inability to give McCoy time to execute. The young McCoy was one of the winningest college quarterbacks of all time. McCoy has to be getting frustrated with the fact his team can’t score. McCoy knows you’re not going to win games in the NFL without putting points on the board.

Colt McCoy completed 40 of 61 passes today, this in itself could be part of the problem. Why the heck did McCoy have to throw so many passes? The said part is out of 40 completions McCoy only had a 5.7 yard average.  McCoy never once looked as though he would stretch out the Titans defense. The Browns fell behind early and McCoy had no choice but to throw the ball. Whoever is calling the plays for the second year quarterback should consider surrendering the job to someone else.

That someone else could be Mike Holmgren. Yeah you heard me right, Mike Holmgren knows how to win football games and Holmgren knows you’re not going to win football games the way the Browns played today. The Cleveland fans have been waiting to see a winning team for a long time now. What they saw today was a complete breakdown both offensively and defensively.

We did see a young quarterback who would win football games if they came down to a player having heart. McCoy showed he has plenty of that. He may not have a receiver that can break away and get open to help him, but he has the heart of a champion and I sure hope the Cleveland Browns don’t ruin another career of a young quarterback they way they did with others in the past.

Holmgren help this kid out. Either call the plays or get him someone to throw the ball to……
