Browns coming off a disappointing 20-10 loss to the Ravens this past Sunday in Cleveland. It was supposed to be Colt McCoy's statement game against a tough divisional opponent. Ed Reed did what Ed Reed always does. It's like you almost knew he was going his two interceptions and be on his merry way with a victory.Colt McCoy struggled. And it was his first true nightmare game of his career. People including myself shouldn't have thought that he was going to roll on forever without any trouble or without this game. This game comes for everybody. All the great ones. The Montanas. The Marinos. The Kosars. They all had poor games when they were young Quarterbacks against physical and experienced defenses. I really don't think McCoy's lack of arm strength was a huge factor in the poor game. I think his arm is strong enough in the intermediate passing game that it can cut through the winds on days like this past Sunday in the future. I think it's good that he's getting this game time logged and this experience. He's going to be a good one.
Even though Toni Grossi sucks, he reminds us that it's Steelers week. And I have a weird feeling that the Browns pull one off this Sunday. And it will be Eric Mangini's swan song. But I just have this feeling that McCoy learns from this past Sunday in a big way and ends the season on a solid note.
