The Browns just didn't try hard enough

The Browns have no one to blame but themselves. Sometime throughout that CRAZY second half of the game, they should have scored. They received the ball on fumbles and interceptions, but their offense just couldn't come through.


I'll give them credit for being troopers though. Quarterback Colt McCoy was limping, but playing through the pain. Heck, half of his line up was probably nursing strains and pulls. They tried, but the Jag's defense tried harder.


Although it was nice to see that Stuckey managed to remember to run out of bounds this time. Especially after last week's fiasco against the Jets. If he'd stopped trying to be a hero during that overtime, the Browns probably would've pulled it off. But, as my mom used to say, "If wishes were horses then monkey's would fly." Or something like that.


Still, I do give the Browns credit for plaing better this season than they have in the past. Each game they seem to give it their all (even if it just wasn't enough) and the games that they do lose are knuckle-biters. They haven't lost in a total blow out.


The problem isn't coaching or lack of skill or injuries - it's that the other teams are just better. They've played together longer and it's more of a team effort. If the Browns can keep something close to this roster next season, watch how much better they do.


I have to have hope; I'm a Clevelander.
