Tuned into the game midway through the 3rd quarter and saw a score of 5-0. For a second there I was wondering what inning the game was in.

Well the Browns weren't expected to play hard because they were the Super Bowl champs last season.
two things should be clear from that game --- the Browns have a pretty good defensive front and there offensive line needs help. past that, both Teams played inconsistently.
You're exactly right. That's how the Eagles won the Super Bowl last season with lack of skills, especially in tackling and execution.
Your astute observation is remarkable. Did you ever consider ESPN as a career?
How many times must it be said? NFL pre-season results have little or nothing to do with regular season results. That is simply a historical fact.
Now go see if you can replace Stephen A on ESPN and do a better job than him. LOL
I'm going to have to give you a ticket for too many LOL's in a post!
NFL pre-season games are more about seeing certain players in certain situations, seeing how different formations and plays work at different times and stuff like that. for the Browns it is a little more important because they also should be trying to build confidence in the players and form some attitude that gets past 0-16.
really, the only thing that counts is maybe the first 2-3 set of downs.
to compare it to MLB, during that sport's spring training the games get played but there's no rhyme or reason as to what is going on. maybe they want to see how a guy's fastball is running or they need him to work on his change-up. they don't really care if he gets hit.
two things stood out to me yesterday, both Philly and Cleveland have good OL's and their defenses should be OK --- and --- the Browns need help on their OL, fast and lots of it.
Don't be ambiguous. You called the Eagles players "Sissies" so you took Joyner's position even much harder than him.
Look, if ESPN won't hire you, then try Fox sports, you can't possibly be worse than Shannon Sharpe. LOL
how about that bow tie shannon was flexing the other day?
I think he's saying "Skip"
I mean during the show with him and Skip Bayless he says "Skip" countless times.
I hope you are right, but like Steve said and he is correct...preseason as far as won loss record is meaningless.
Oh my gosh, the Eagles will miss the pre-season playoffs, and not be in the pre-season Super Bowl.
I am so bitterly disappointed.
The Cowboys won't make the preseason playoffs either. And the way the players are dropping off we may not be able to field a team for game 1 of the regular season. Looks like 2018 is a wash for the Boys. I know everyone out here will be very disappointed, but hey......................
KInd of like MLB network when Amsinger, Billy Ripken , Harold Reynolds or the former relief pitcher who's hair
is somehow black despite being 60 years old always saying "I get it" or "I get that" and then going on
to make their point. I don't get why their always saying they get it.
Tune in tonight to the I get it show with Amsinger and the boys.
In the course of every human endeavor since the dawn of time the risk of human error has always been a factor. Including but not limited to field goals, 4th down attempts, or multiple paragraph ramblings on a sports forum authored by someone who shall remain anonymous.
Reminds me of the overused phrases: "Having said that","That being said".
I get the biggest kick out of teams that lose in preseason and the “Sky is falling” comments that follow, it’s utterly ridiculous
Because it's mostly those who follow professional wrestling and the roller derby, and don't understand what the NFL is all about.
