I still dont know how we lost that game to Indy..
If only our defense had been able to hold Andrew Luck back... You know.. after Hoyer put the team in position to win.. The first loss to Baltimore was killer considering we played well enough to win the game. Up 21-17 in the 4th quarter with the ball on the 8-yard line after the Taylor Gabriel deep bomb. Then after a sack and two penalties we end up with a field goal blocked and no points. Had we gone up 28-17 that would have been a wrap. The Colts game we had 14 offensive possessions and could manage only 10 lousy offensive points. I might also add that the FG was a drive setup by a Jim Leohnard interception in which we started the drive inside the Colts 35 yard line. I remember reading about fans being mad we couldn't hold the Colts on the goal line at the end of the game. What about the 12 offensive possessions we couldn't score or hold onto the ball!? Those two games were games we should have had and literally let slip right through our fingers.

Hoyer raised the bar for QB play by starting 6-3 and thrashing two division opponents, and then he completely tripped over the damn thing and stunk. Trying Manziel was the smart move, at least in my opinion. BS plain and simple and this has ZERO to do with Hoyer. He was NOT prepared to play and the HC and the FO and every member of the coaching staff and the team knew it. IF there were ever a bone to pick it was this deal here for a lot of reasons. They knew where Johnny was and if they didn't then they have no business being in charge of anything. If i were to take them to task about something this would be pretty high on my list. It would be like did you know he wasn't ready? How is it you can call yourself a NFL HC and not know. They knew they chose to play him because they had been planning to do it all all along most likely in that very game and that time and they followed that plan without regard to Johnny being ready. It made Johnny look bad but it also made them look bad too. I mean honestly how could they now KNOW? They started Johnny only because Hoyer sucked more than a porn star his last 4 games and they thought we had no chance to win with him at that point.

i remember everybody pissed off with that game Johnny started, they completely changed the offense for him.
the offense everybody has been practicing and playing live games, all of a sudden got swapped out by Shanny.
Sure, Manziel might have crapped the bed either way, but that made everything severely worse.
yes, Johnny wasn't ready to play, but at that point, i don't blame the coaching staff making the swap. hoyer was playing us out of the playoff race.

forgot we were only 1 game behind the bengal and ravens in the wild card race. we were that close!!!!! pb...why when I state Hoyer broke my heart...we were in such a better spot when the decline happened.
and that last game (Colts) he became suspect where the coaches met on changing something after the Bills game and they came to a decision that Hoyer gave them the best chance to win. But he did not turn things around and we had lost a game that just mediocre QB play would have garnished a win.
More than any other season since 99 last year broke my heart! Why I gave up on Hoyer as a fan. As in ....NEXT!

Hoyer withdrawls are brutal but I have heard they are developing a patch to help. Can the patches go 10-6? Cause that's his record as a starter. 10-6. Even though they were losing 10-0 when he was injured against Buffalo, he's 10-6 as the Browns starter.

So Weeden's 1 TD and the team scoring 37 points after Hoyer left the game does not matter?? Hoyer did it all from his hospital room ??
I am not a Weeden fan, nor am I anti-Hoyer, but Hoyer does not deserve any recognition for a win in that game.

He was kidding. In fact, he was making fun of anyone who tries to give Hoyer a fair shake.
Some of you work way too freaking hard trying to discredit Hoyer. Way too hard.

I cant wait for Houston to name Mallett the starter.
Honestly. Why wouldnt they? (Assuming he's fully healthy)

Were there more than just the one photo of him rolling up the bill? I remember looking at it last year, but I don't remember it being so incriminating.
I mean........that angle, his body posture, where his eyes are focused, etc...........I don't see how he was "joking around" as some posters suggested last year.

I'm not an expert on these things but as a young adult I lived with or near a lot of young adults who did.
One would think you roll it up to do what? obvious but you don't PRE ROLL your bill so that 20 minutes later in a none public room you use it??? If I saw somebody seriously rolling up a bill like that in the bathroom the next sight I would expect is a mirror or something going down right there on that counter and some snorting being done. Obviously if that happened that would have been the Money shot.
Increminating to me is the Drugs. The rolling of the Bill makes No sense at all. I've known a lot of users back in the day...not addicts cause none I knew used needles. I cannot even think of anyone rolling up a fresh bill so they can use it later...they might have that fresh bill for when they needed it. Just doesn't make sense. I'm sure he was tested more than once of course we wouldn't know of the first one that would fail...so I can't say for sure.
All I know is he was a Drunk and that got worse. Do I think he did Coke ever...probably did...do I think that was his problem? I don't think so. Just too many pictures taken of him and the best anyone can do is a rolling up a bill by the bathroom sink? The "MONEY" shot would be him using that rolled up bill.

I refuse to make excuses for Manziel's behavior..there is only one use for a rolled up $20 bill in a bathroom.
I'm 99.9% sure the intended use of a rolled up 20 in a bathroom is to snort drugs and the most common drug used in bathrooms is "cocaine".
Also, Manziel had a drinking problem dating back to HS and when an addict is tired of the buzz they get from alcohol, they graduate to bigger and better things to get their buzz on.
You don't have to be experienced in the use of illegal drugs to figure out what a rolled up bill is used for in a bathroom.

What else do you do with a rolled up bill in the bathroom of a club?.....spitballs on the walls? C'mon, the dude was getting ready to do some blow and got caught in the process of getting ready for it. Caught in the act of doing it? No. But usually that is why clubs have stalls that are like mini closets w/ toilets so there is a level of privacy. And for all we know the rehabilitation he checked into was for drug abuse and not alcohol. There has been no specification one way or another, right?

1. I did not make an excuse for anyone. 2. What else would one roll of a $20 bill for...well all I'm saying if it was a "PROBLEM" it would have been caught on camera. If it was a "PROBLEM" it would have shown up in his Drug tests which I'm sure they called on him to take after that picture surfaced.
3. I said did he ever do it? Drugs/Cocaine I said probably. Do I think it was his problem? Over Alcohol? No I don't and that is what I'm saying. The reason you don't condemn a man from a photo like that cause there are things a lot of people can do with photo chop stuff now a days. I said I think he has used Cocaine probably. Just not quite sure of condemning him from one photo.
4. Did he have a problem, more than I ever thought. But for me the big problem became alcohol.

I'm not condemning him for anything. All I'm saying is I think its funny if people don't think he was getting ready to do coke in that photo. That's it.
I think he has/had an overall problem with substance abuse. That he has clearly been caught on cameras for...many times. excessive Coke, excessive alcohol....it's all the same....abuse.

Either way it doesnt really matter at this point. He had issues and locked hiself away for near 3 months getting his life in order. As a Browns fan, I couldnt be happier for the choices that he is making in his life. Learning to enjoy live without a substance involved is not an easy thing for many folks.

I believe it's the same photo. I believe you have to understand that people will go to the extent of using things that borderline on fables to try to deny some things. It's obvious what's going on here.

We don't know that he's failed a drug test. We don't know that he hasn't failed a drug test.
We do know what people roll up $20 bills for in a restroom.

Sorry you can be the fascist...for me I'll just go on saying a rolled up bill is just that.
How can I put this in a more understandable format.
You went out and Bought 100 condoms - do I then Assume you did a Wilt Chamberlain. No it is very possible that even though I saw you buy them. We cannot ASSume that you used it to what all think. We both know odds are you didn't get to use them.
And before you call me naive and all that - I said it more than once - do I think in his partying ways he partook in some snorting activities...I say yes, But the evidence does not show that he had a problem with that. Drinking did show its ugly head. Being tested for drugs would show.
I know, you know, we all know when that pic surfaced he had to submit to a drug test. If it was positive that was the ONE Free failed test he is alotted. Well if drugs was the problem there was months of partying and now with a failed test probably tested weekly. How did he not fail and get suspended.
Hope you catch my drift on this one. Its him (supposedly) rolling up a $20 bill right there I grow suspect - cause even my poor lame friends in 1978 used only crisp $100 bills!
But again NO Pictures of him using a pretty social drug on the club scene I'm sure. No evidence of a failed drug test from the NFL. If I am to believe he had a drug problem there would have been multiple failed tests.
Did he ever snort some cocaine...odds are he did. Did he have a problem with cocaine or another drug. Odds are he didn't.
Actually he put himself into rehab there was not court telling him to. No failed test - just something that scared him so that he put him into rehab.
That is all I'm defending - there is no AHA hes a coke freak cause don't you know he was seen with a rolled up bill. Really and I'm thought of as Naive...lol

Here are some more facts and questions.
You do realize that cocaine leaves your system within 72 hours, right? So unless he was tested within 72 hours of its use, he would pass a test.
Did he fail an alcohol test? I mean if your assertion is to say since he didn't fail a test as your reasoning, the same could be said for alcohol.
Were we ever told the reason/reasons for entering rehab? No we weren't. So it's anyone's guess whether drugs factored into it. It seems to me if alcohol was the only reason behind it, there would have been no problem publicly stating that.
And once again, everyone knows why you roll a $20 bill up in a bathroom.
When you are not in the substance abuse stage of the NFL, I believe there is only one or two tests a year. That's why so many players smoke weed and use other drugs without ever being caught.
Now you may be right that he didn't have a drug problem. I'm not stating that he absolutely did. But there's just as many indicators that he did, as that he didn't.

I really have absolutely no knowledge about the drug. I just know in my 20's as a single guy....come Andrew try this - ok, It cost how much? Sorry it did Absolutely nothing for me...here on in you guys save you money and leave me out of it. That is pretty much my knowledge of the drug.
Did he fail an alcohol test? I mean if your assertion is to say since he didn't fail a test as your reasoning, the same could be said for alcohol.
See I might be Ignorant about Cocaine and admit it. You better do the same about testing for Alcohol cause he never was arrested for DUI. The NFL does not test for Alcohol to just anyone. Gordon in all his drug tests was not tested for Alcohol - only after his DUI was that included. So what you stated there had no relevance.
Were we ever told the reason/reasons for entering rehab? No we weren't.
He placed himself into rehab...The league tests for drugs they do not test for alcohol. To insinuate that no reason was said falls on the line of - Well we faked that moon landing, it was filmed in the deserts of New Mexico.
There is no AHA...the NFL tests for drugs - they see things and they test they don't just test anyone. There was a tweet about Gordon drinking or something. NFL right there to ask for the alcohol test right away. Is that normal procedure. Well do you think the NFL didn't get a drug test within 72 hours of that Picture making the Internet?

being a browns fan is like taking your dog to vet every week to be put down...
