The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Bills 24 Browns 14

[YardRat]

Good-A win is a win, and Choice actually had a decent game.
Bad-Spiller's injury
Ugly-The replacement refs really blew, especially in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Good: Spiller before injury and the W
Bad: Spiller injury.
Ugly: While he had 3 TD's Fitz will get one of his WR killed throwing behind them. Also the refs missed alot of calls on both sides.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

The good: TJ Graham, CJ Spiller until the injury, the D stepped it up big time
The bad: The CJ Spiller injury
The Ugly: The ref calls
The hideous: The biased reporting against the Bills, thank you Marcell for making them stfu

[MikeInRoch]

The ugliest ugly is the Spiller injury. There is nothing else.

[Marcala12]

good- d-line, o-line, Stevie
bad- refs
ugly CJ getting injured

[mush69]

Bills win
Jets fish battling it out
New England yet to play

[Night Train]

The ugliest ugly is the Spiller injury. There is nothing else.
Sure there is. We WON.


Sucks about Spiller but this is a team sport...not tennis. Next man in.

Choice did well and here comes Fred next Sunday

[Sammy Avalon]

The good: beating a team we should beat for the second time

The bad: CJ's shoulder, Fitz's inconsistency at times

[stuckincincy]

The ugliest ugly is the Spiller injury. There is nothing else.

He started slow 4 for 16, 8 on one run. When was he hurt? Fair shot, cheap shot? After his game 1 and 2 numbers, CLE or whoever they played today would have to have in their sights.

[YardRat]

Not a cheap shot by any means, just landed hard on his shoulder with his and defenders body weight.

[John Doe]

Choice did well and here comes Fred next Sunday

Choice did really well: 20 carries for 91 yards (4.6 per carry).

[notacon]

Good - Bills win
Bad - Fitz still sucks
Ugly - Cleveland.

[LVGrown]

Good - O-Line, they kept Fitz clean for the 3rd game straight and had our 3rd RB 10 yards away from 100 yards.
Bad - Spiller injury
Ugly - Refs, no doubt! Whats everyone's opinion on the Fitz fumble?

[Historian]

Good: This O line has really come together, and Choice....he looked like the second coming of Roland Hooks out there today!

Bad: injury bug....Fitz's mechanics

Ugly: The ref situation, and the attendance in Cleveland today.

[Mr. Pink]

Ugly: and the attendance in Cleveland today.

Bad weather day, bad football team, lame duck coaching staff and front office and it SURPRISES you that the attendance looked like that?

You need to get over your completely false theory that Cleveland is a dirty team.

[Skooby]

Ugly- Cleveland, man they suck.

[moogyman]

Did Fitz get sacked? According the recaps from both espn and nfl.com, he did...but I didn't see it. Just curious.

[Buddo]

Good - Win. Recomposing themselves eventually, after Spiller went off. O-Line play in both aspects. D-Line starting to gel better, and looking like they can step up to make a play or stop when we need one. Run D - might actually be for real.

Bad - Spiller's injury, although by the sounds of it, he will only be out a week or two.

Ugly - Refs, again. Both teams got dubious calls. The 'open hand' ruling for Fitz's 'fumble' was a nonsense. The football isn't going to travel forward unless it is affected by forward motion of the arm/hand. Laws of Physics. Browns got some tough ones as well. Doesn't help the game much at all. Too many head-scratchers.

[Mr. Pink]

The Ugly - refs week in and week out. Some horrible calls and no calls litter the games, every game. It disrupts the flow and games slow to a crawl like part of the 2nd quarter today.

[Oaf]

Ugly: Fitz accuracy

[Generalissimus Gibby]

The "fumble" will go down as a sack. So yes, Fitz was sacked by the Refs today but for the third straight game the listed opponent didn't get a sack

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Good: The final score. Tashard Choice. The offensive line that blocked for Tashard Choice. Mark Anderson.

Bad: Fitzpatrick's passing, again.

Ugly: The Browns. If this is the attendance they're drawing Haslam might have to threaten to move the team if he wants them to come back.

[DrGraves]

Good: a road W

Bad: Fitz is the only QB in the league who will not throw the ball >10 yards down field

Ugly: Our chances next week without CJ

[feldspar]

Like I said in the other thread, no player on the Browns team gets credit for that sack on the stat sheet. So if nobody sacked him, how in the world could he have been sacked? Nobody even touched him.

I'd say the call on that play was both bad and ugly. Not even sure that was even a fumble, but it was close. So, if a player fumbles the ball untouched past the line of scrimmage, was he tackled too? Even though nobody gets credit for the tackle, which didn't happen? With the logic of that call yesterday, that would follow.

The ugly was how the Bills offense looked for a long time after CJ Spiller went down. We were on track for a big blowout, CJ got hurt, then we went very stale and couldn't get things going. This allowed the Browns to make a game of it.

Gotta love the run-blocking ability of this offensive line. They really deserve more credit than they get.

In week 3...yes.

They played hard in weeks 1 and 2 and have a nice young nucleus.

[Mr. Pink]

If by nice young nucleus you mean 4-6 guys, then sure. Joe T, Alex Mack, TRich, Haden, Ward and D'Qwell. Joe T and D'Qwell aren't exactly "young" anymore though. They got absolutely nothing behind those guys. It shows week in and week out and showed yesterday.
