Not Looking Good

The first quarter of the Browns-Giants preseason game is in the books, and the Browns aren't looking too good against the defending champs. And I'm not talking about the uniforms (although, they're pretty ugly too).

The Giants are exposing our defense as having the same problems as last season. We cannot stop the run or the deep pass. Sure, Eli Manning is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, but we're going to face a lot of smart quarterbacks just like him this season (including him again in Week 6).

Not only is it difficult to watch our defense struggle, but the bright spot of last year's team - the offense - looks pretty bad too. The line is getting beat, and Anderson's passes are just way, way off (and he doesn't have Braylon Edwards to make him look good with a spectacular grab this week).

And the penalties! My, oh my, the penalties! What is wrong with the Browns tonight? I am extremely dismayed from what I've seen so far - all on national television. The Browns certainly have some work to do this week, that's for sure.

You've got work to do too! Go to the Cleveland Browns Web site and tell them how horrible the brown pants look, and that you never want to see them again.
