It's hard to believe that a playoff game could take place where Kelly Holcomb and Tommy Maddox were the starting quarterbacks, let alone a thrilling game that came down to the last seconds.

Yikes! That was an ugly performance by the first team. Derek Anderson was awful. The offense looked out of whack. Even though Derek Anderson got concussed the biggest loss may be Josh Cribbs who went down with an ankle injury. Brady Quinn had another good performance to bring the Browns back then Ken Dorsey mopped up. We are not that far away from having a quarterback controversy with the Browns.

It appears the Cleveland Browns have made some important off-season moves. They got a deal done with starting quarterback Derek Anderson for 3 years. Of course this raises questions about Brady Quinn’s future with the team but for a team on the cusp of the playoffs last year they absolutely had to get Anderson signed. After struggling at the quarterback position for years it would have been the height of folly to go into the year relying on Brady Quinn, regardless of his potential, after Anderson played so well for much of the year. I doubt both these guys will be with the team after next year. Odds are Quinn will get enough playing time this year for the Browns to make an evaluation. Anderson stayed healthy all year last year. Chances are he won’t this year.They also signed wide recei

Sounds like newly hired Miami Dolphins VP Bill Parcells is hitting the ground running on personnel decisions early. According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com and verified by a league source, Parcells has current Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel on top of his list as the Dolphins’ next head coach.
That wouldn’t be a bad hire, especially considering that it wasn’t long ago when Crennel was on the hot seat up in Cleveland before the team reversed its fortunes. And assuming that Parcells was able to hire Crennel, there is that little issue that involves transactions, such as these: compensation. Crennel is under contract for 2 more years, and don’t think the Browns will just let Crennel leave without getting something back in return. But I’d imagine that Parcells already knows this (and probably Huizenga as well).

- Wow, is this weather nasty or what? I touched on the weather during today's show on Dawg Pound Radio, and it has only gotten worse. The wind is on a tear off the lake, and the snow continues to fall. The field is so snowy, that there was a minute-and-a-half delay while the referees tried to find the 50 yard line to spot the ball.
- Jamal Lewis is a stud in the snow. He's already broken off a couple big runs, and has 80 yards and is averaging 5.3 yards per carry at the half. During the Browns' last drive of the half, J-Lew went over the 1,000 yard mark for the 6th time in his career.

It wasn't the prettiest of victories, but the Browns will take it as they remain in playoff contention and move past the Jets 24-18 yesterday at Giants' Stadium.
Despite a few hiccups, Cleveland's defense was able to bear down in clutch moments - including a heart (and Jet) stopping goal line stand to start the second quarter that was capped off by a Sean Jones interception in the end zone.
Jamal Lewis put the proverbial "nail in the coffin" with a 31-yard rumble, shedding several Jets defenders on his way to the end zone, and Joe Jurevicius was able to recover 2 of 3 onside kicks for the Browns to hang on.
That's all for now, but be sure to check in later, as I'll be posting my full review of the action this evening.

On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns played against the New York Jets. The Browns have been placed as a 3.5 point favorite against the New York Jets. This is for the first time in a few weeks that the Browns will not be allowed to play with the highest over/under in the NFL as football experts have made the total point score 47.5.
Now that I've wiped a bit of egg from my face in picking the Browns to handily (based on the score) beat the Cardinals, here's the game in review:
1st Quarter:
The game began with a miscue, when Derek Anderson - unpressured - threw the ball away to the left side. He was called for intentional grounding, and the Browns had already set off on the wrong foot. After what appeared to be the beginnings of a nice drive, Anderson threw a pick-6, and then aborted a snap shortly thereafter.
I couldn't find a pic of "the boot," so I guess a picture of Leigh Bodden getting burned will do.On the Cardinals' ensuing drive, Kurt Warner threw an incomplete pass that would have brought up fourth down and four - that is, if Leigh Bodden didn't decide to do his best "Phil Dawson" and boot the ball into t
Penalties, turnovers and overall mistakes cost the Browns today, as they lost to the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Ariz.
Special teams wasn't exactly a highlight this week, and Leigh Bodden is starting to make mistakes that can no longer be explained by an ailing back - or much else, for that matter. Anderson threw two picks (one returned for a TD) and mishandled a snap, but also threw for 300-plus yards and brought the Browns from their own 18 to within inches of victory - with the help of Jason Wright and Kellen Winslow.
Winslow made a great catch in the end zone during the last play, but was ruled out of bounds. The call was upheld after the replay assistant called for a review. I'll have more later!
This week, the Cleveland Browns (7-4) head to Arizona this week to take on the Cardinals (5-6). Coming off a strong win at home, the Browns look to narrow the AFC North lead, held by the Steelers. Arizona is coming off a tough overtime loss to a bad 49er team. Despite their record, last weeks loss, and the team's injury problems, home field advantage gave them 1 point the last time I checked.
That must be one hell of a field. I'm not saying that the Browns are going to beat the Cards like rented mules, but that's a lot to overcome.
That being said, let's take a look at the matchups:

Cleveland Browns' running back Jamal Lewis and rookie corner Brandon McDonald were both nominated for Week 12 awards.
Lewis' 134 yards and TD during the Browns victory over the Texans earned him a nomination for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week. Other nominees for the honor are Oakland's Justin Fargas (22 car, 139 yds, 1 TD) and San Fancisco's Frank Gore (21 car, 116 yds, 2 TD).
You can place your vote for Jamal by clicking here.
Brandon McDonald went from "who?" to "who is this guy?" in a three-hour period, and is up for Rookie of the Week. His step-up performance included 1 solo tackle, 4 pass defenses (effectively shutting down a Pro Bowl-calliber receiver) and 1 INT in the fourth quarter to help seal the deal against Houston.
Vote for Brandon McDonald Here.
I come to you live in the North club bar at Cleveland Browns Stadium. I'll be fighting through the buzz and the trouble of typing through my brother-in-law's Treo to bring you my observations as I see them.

If I'.m not mis
I didn't believe it at first, but this is none other than Cleveland's Josh Cribbs crankin' dat. Thanks to Mevs at The Nosebleeds for digging that one up. I was looking around, and apparently Cribbs isn't the only one that can get down.
D-Back Brandon McDonald was caught from at least two angles (this being the better one) doing the Soulja Boy during pregame warm-ups.
What do Derek Anderson's friendly reminder, and Browns gettin' down on the field tell me? That this team is finally starting to have fun - one thing that is truly essential for a team to be successful. It's good to see the players smiling during interviews, laughing a little on the sidelines, and having a good time for once.
The Cleveland Browns kicker Dawson’s potential game-tying 51-yard field goal hit the upright. Then, it seemed to tap the crossbar before it bounced back onto the field. Several of the Cleveland Browns players insisted Dawson’s kick hit the curved center support behind the crossbar. The players went to the end zone, pointing at the spot where the football struck before it finally bounced back. It turned out to be true. The officials discussed the situation for about 5 minutes before ruling the kick went beyond the crossbar and through the uprights. After that, the Cleveland Browns took the kickoff in overtime and drove forty-three yards in 9 plays before Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal to give the Browns a 33-30 win.
It’s a miracle! Yes the Baltimore had won… Oh no… it’s the other way around. It’s the Browns that came up the win.
If Romeo Crennel and his upstart Cleveland Browns go on to reach the playoffs this season — and at 6-4 they may well be on their way — perhaps they’ll look back to Sunday’s game against the Ravens and realize their drive to the postseason began in earnest with as close to a life-after-death experience as the game of football allows.
A stinging loss. Then a miraculous tie. And finally a dramatic win. That’s how it went late Sunday afternoon for the Browns, whose happy fate rested on the bizarre double bounce of the oblong ball off a metal goal post. Cleveland’s 33-30 overtime victory over Baltimore spawned what might just in these parts come to be known as Dawson-Gate, in honor of the highly controversial 51-yard game-tying field goal that Browns kicker Phil Dawson booted on the final play of regulation.
Today’s game between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens is more than just a game between divisional rivals. It also pits two teams that are, it appears, going in 2 different directions, personnel- and philosophy-wise. Their records are almost similar: Cleveland is 5-4, Baltimore is 4-5. Yet that’s where the similarities end.
Let’s go back a few years; 2003 to be exact. Baltimore drafted a young strong-armed quarterback named Kyle Boller. 3 short years later, they obtained Steve McNair in free agency. The Ravens’ hopes were that both would solve the short- and long-term problem at QB. The Ravens look wrong in their decision making on that front, as McNair looks old and most definitely a shell of his former self. In the meantime, Boller looks shaky in the time he has taken snaps behind center.
Meanwhile, Cleveland had a QB issue of their own. They drafted Brady Quinn this year in the late first round. They, at that time, also had Charlie Frye an
Seeing as how it is a big week for intra division rivalry games in the NFL - notably the Browns/Steelers game - I figured I would repost an article I did way back in July.
I was thinking of how things have change since July. When I wrote this it looked like another re-building year for the Browns but now that has changed big time. Not only do the Browns have an outside shot at the play-offs but I think they have a shot against the Steelers. No matter what happens, it will be a better game than it was in week one.
Anyway, here is the post in its entirety. Maybe it will conjure up a few childhood memories for you.

Irritated over what he thought was a cheap shot in the closing seconds of Sunday’s 34-17 loss, Steinbach called Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel “classless” on Monday and hopes the NFL fines one of New England’s top players. Steinbach felt Vrabel purposely dived at the knees of rookie tackle Joe Thomas’ legs with 11 seconds remaining on a play more…

As energized Browns fans broke into Ohio State’s signature “O-H-I-O” sing-a-long, raising their arms overhead to form each letter in the fourth quarter, Edwards, a Michigan man through and through, joined in. “I was definitely doing it,” Edwards admitted. “This is Ohio. This is my residence. This is where I play football. This is where I earn more…
The much-maligned Cleveland Browns may have finally gotten the monkey off their back, after all. After years of no respect, the Browns gave the proverbial “black-eye” to one of the AFC North’s perennial powerhouses, or bullies, depending on who you ask. Fueled by Browns quarterback Derek Anderson’s two touchdown passes and a TD run by running back Jamal Lewis, the Browns surprised the Baltimore Ravens, 27-13.
The Browns, unlike in Week 1, looked like a team on the rise. Cleveland struck paydirt early, building a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Lewis exacted some revenge against his former team by scoring what was a disputed 1-yard dive into the end zone; that rushing TD was the first given up by the Ravens all season. The Browns kept Ravens QB Steve McNair in check for most of the game, depsite the Ravens’ statistical advantage thoughout the game. McNair went 34-for 53 for 307 yards with a TD and INT, but he provided what proved to be the deciding
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow didn’t practice Wednesday because of a partially dislocated left shoulder, an injury sustained during the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s loss in Oakland. Browns coach Romeo Crennel referred to Winslow’s injury as a “mild subluxation,” or separation. Crennel was asked by a confused reporter if he meant that Winslow had separated his shoulder. “I did not say separation — subluxation,” Crennel said. “I don’t know what that more…
Browns coach Romeo Crennel said tight end Kellen Winslow bruised a shoulder against the Oakland Raiders, presumably on the last drive, when he caught passes of 33 and 23 yards to help the Browns set up their final field-goal attempt. In the locker room Monday, Winslow had his left shoulder wrapped and not in the sleeve of his T-shirt. He was wearing an electric stimulator. ”It’s a little banged up. He’ll be there if he can,” Crennel said of Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens. Reported by Marla Ridenour, Akron Beacon Journal
Looking over the final roster, here are some random thoughts:Best units:1. Linebackers--Their youth could hurt at first, but they are fast with huge potential. Could develop into the one of the best LB corps in the league down the road.2. Tight ends--KWII appears healthy, Heiden is always dependable, Dinkins provides depth.Shakiest units:1. Defensive line--The starting nose tackle is a year older and the guy being groomed as his replacement is unproven and starting at left end due to injury. Free agency and the draft changed a lot of faces, but can any of them play? Run defense has to be a huge concern.2. Defensive backs--The talent is there if it is healthy, but that has been a big "if" the past two seasons. The Browns kept 10 DBs, 7 of them CBs for just this reason.3. Running backs--Jamal Lewis has looked good, but can he carry the load all season, and if he gets hurt, can either of the remaining guys be a starter week in and week out?4. Wide receivers--Braylon Edwards is t
Minutes after finishing my previous post, I discovered that the Browns named their practice squad:Returning players: RB Chris Barclay, OL Cliff Louis, DLs Chase Pittman and Melila Purcell, and WRs Steve Sanders and Syndric Steptoe New faces: CB Tim Mixon, undrafted out of Cal, cut by the Bears; TE Jonny Harline, undrafted out of BYU, cut by the Colts
In what appears to be a recurring theme in Cleveland and elsewhere, Browns general manager Phil Savage is once again covering team head coach Romeo Crennel’s ample backside. The Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Tony Grossi is reporting that at a news conference on Saturday, Savage gave a vote of confidence to Crennel. Savage opened his remarks with, “I’ll emphasize again today, there is no Romeo Crennel watch in this building. I’ve said it 10 times, he’s the right man for the job. There’s nobody else out there that could’ve won more than eight to 12 games over the last two years with the roster we had and circumstances and situations that we’ve been through. Motorcycle accidents, injuries, all sorts of things.”
And as you would expect, Savage blamed the media for the perception that Crennel’s job is on the line, telling the reporters at the news conference, “You’re in the business of creating controv
Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel has one of the most unpleasant tasks sitting right in front of him right now. And that would be this - when do you put quarterback Brady Quinn in as your permanent starter? There has to be some major pressure on Crennel to start Quinn sooner rather than later, from both the Browns fans and probably the Browns’ front office.
So far this preseason, QB’s Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson haven’t exactly stood out. On the other hand, Quinn has done the following:
13-for-16 against the Lions’ reserves who for all intents and purposes were utilizing a prevent defense.
7-for-11 for 81 yards and a touchdown in two series (a missed FG was part of this) against the Broncos’ first-team defense.
It’s stats like these which will make Crennel’s decision that much more difficult. The Browns will probably have to get out of the gate rather impressively in order for Quinn to be carrying the clipboard;
DENVER — Maybe in the regular season the red flag will come out. Preseason games don’t count and neither do touchdowns that are erroneously ruled incompletions, as Brady Quinn discovered Saturday night. Quinn was efficient and effective for the second straight game, leading the Cleveland Browns past the Denver Broncos 17-16, although it probably wasn’t enough to win him the starting job over Charlie Frye. Quinn threw a pass in the left flat that Joshua Cribbs turned into a nifty 20-yard more…
It’s a rumor that started locally, and now seems to be spreading like wildfire. That rumor is that the loser in the Cleveland Browns QB battle between Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson will be either released or traded. That rumor even showed up right here on NFLGridironGab.com as Browns play-by-play man Jim Donovan said as such in his interview with us on “Gridiron Gabbin” on Wednesday. Donovan said that the organization wants to keep Ken Dorsey around, but cannot possibly keep four quarterbacks, meaning that the loser of Frye and Anderson will be sent packing.
To start, Anderson was given the role of starting during what was a very strong series of mini camps. He seemed to have a grip on the position, but then as training camp started, he seemed to fall behind Frye, and now it looks as with three preseason games left, Frye has the spot, for now, locked up. If that lasts or not, is anyones guess. The wildcard in the whole thing is Brady Quinn, rookie QB that eve
NFL Commissioner was back on his camp tour today, and made a stop in Berea, OH at Cleveland Browns camp. One of the big issues on the table was camp holdouts, and everyone knows that in Cleveland, the big story recently was the long holdout of soon-to-be franchise quarterback Brady Quinn. The Notre Dame QB came to Cleveland after slipping to number 22 in the first round, and the Browns moved back up in the round to get Quinn, but in the process the Browns gave up their number one pick next year to Dallas. And they after waiting for a long holdout, some already are grumbling that the Browns season is going to be a very long one while they wait for Quinn to catch up.
‘It’s one of the issues we’ve talked with the union about in negotiations, and I think it’ll be clearly one of the issues we talk about when we sit down and talk about making changes that we would make to the system,” Goodell said Thursday during the NFL commissioner’s visit to the Bro
By Nigel KerryThis time Browns’ management has made some serious changes in their coach staff. Wes Chandler, a 50 year old enormously experienced league professional player and coach, has been appointed as Browns’ receivers coach. He is an experienced campaigner and will perform his duties along with offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, offensive line coach Steve Marshall and special teams coordinator Ted Daisher.Wes Chandler started his professional career in NFL in 1978. He initially played for the Saints and then moved to the Chargers and stayed with them from 1981 to 1988. He had an impressive career record with 559 career receptions and 8,966 yards with 56 touchdowns that earned him Pro Bowl selections four times.After retiring from professional football, Chandler took up coaching as a career. His first coaching assignment was in 1991 with Orlando Thunder of the World Football League. Later, in 1994-95, he moved as the wide receivers coach to Central Florida. Chandler has als
The coin flipped didn’t do much to settle the Cleveland Browns situation at quarterback on Saturday night, but for one brief moment, a kick return of 88 yards helped them as they topped the Kansas City Chiefs 16-12 at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The QB battle between Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson is sure to continue, and maybe if Brady Quinn ever saw the field (he didn’t take a snap on Saturday night), then maybe he may have a shot as well. Chris Barclay was the hero for the Browns, as he took back a short kickoff the distance with 1:48 to go for the game-winner in a rather lackluster affair.
Frye got the start, going 12-for-15 for 122 yards. He made a few decent throws, but his night will be recalled for a messed up swing pass that was a fumble that was returned 56 yards for a KC TD. He also messed up clock management, as he scrambled and allowed the first half clock to run out as the Browns were in field goal range. Anderson didn’t do much to help his cau
In a move that should officially start the beginning of the end of the head coaching career of Romeo Crennel, the Browns coach has declared that he wil decide his starting quarterback for tomorrow night’s game vs the Chiefs - by flipping a coin. The robust coach told members of the media that he will have both QB’s ready to make the call, and once they decide who will do it, either Charlie Frye or Derek Anderson will call the flip while in the air. The winner - you get to start your teams first preseason game vs Kansas City. The loser - second string.
Crennel must have never heard of simply making a decision, as this type of video game technique is usually the type of thing that ends up getting a coach fired. Sure it’s only preseason, but basically what you are saying is both QB’s are so even (or in this case, bad), that it’s just too tough to decide which one gets to start. Come on Romeo, your the head coach of a once proud NFL franchise, make
Jamal Lewis is still only 27, but he has seven years worth of NFL experience, playing very well as this video below shows.
Lewis is now with the NFL team, Cleveland Browns he says he feels young again and he is ready for a fresh start.
Lewis demonstrated this in training, playing very well and looking like he has running very fast again.
“He’s going to be our best defensive player,” says linebacker Andra Davis, Lewis’ best friend on the team. “He’s going to keep us off the field.”
Lewis is one of only 5 players in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.
Do you think Lewis will be a good for the Browns and the NFL?

I've thrown out a challenge to the followers of every other NFL out there: tell us why your team will be better than the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2007. And plenty of eager writers are lined up to tell you exactly why they will be superior to the Black and Gold. In the coming weeks, be prepared to get a gauge on exactly where the rest of the country ranks us in the NFL hierarchy this season.Today's author is Jared Westler of Erie. He's not a sportswriter, he's not a blogger, he's a fan. But he made quite a case for why he deserved this assignment:Hey Raul, I'm a huge fan of the site and of the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. It's difficult but for some reason I just can't quit them. I was born and raised in Erie, hence the Pirates allegiance, but also came of age during the 80s, a time when the Browns were a bit better then your Steelers, and became a Browns fan. I got a feeling they're already taken, but can I write the essay saying why they'll be better than the Steelers? Just think
Bad luck visited the Browns training camp on Tuesday as Browns offensive lineman Eric Steinbach fell on his right knee during practice and could possibly miss up to two weeks of camp. Browns head coach Romeo Crennel told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that, “We’re having it evaluated. We were inside on the turf and he came down on the knee. I would say he bruised it, but I haven’t looked at it, and I’m not the doctor, so I don’t know.”
Although the injury does not appear to be serious in nature, I’m sure the Browns were holding their breath as they signed Steinbach to a huge contract this offseason. In the meantime, reserve guard/center Lennie Friedman will take the majority of snaps for now and more than likely will start against the Kansas city Chiefs, assuming that Steinbach is not ready by then. One can only hope that Steinbach’s injury is nothing more than a tweak of the knee, as opposed to a sprai
