You know what the Browns and Chargers have in common? Neither team has been a solid winner since Marty Shottenheimer coached them.

There was a blatantly missed PI and 3rd down with the Chargers that distance away from an easy FG to win, along with a possible missed roughing the passer on the SAME PLAY. What the hell were the refs doing?

This better be reported somewhere, Chargers had the game with those calls and CBS didn’t even TAKE A LOOK or say anything or show one replay.

Don’t make any excuses why the chargers lost, 6 points! They couldn’t score against the browns, they’ve lost 3 in a row, yeah things are going down hill fast for them and the raiders are gonna pass them in the division.

Steeler fan here. The Browns are a much better team than ANYONE gives them credit for to include a portion of their fan base. I see these NFL power ratings which always puts the Browns at or near the bottom when there are at least 10 teams that they would consistently beat. The Browns seem to fight to their last breath and that is all any fan can hope for.

Lets see if Spanos addresses the media; a 3-4 record and all the other 2-4s, 1-4s, etc of the past kept him silent but after two games of blowing healthy leads must and now the loss of a Browns team that i think played more balanced ( while you heard Norv talking about simplifying the playbook ) should be enough to get Spanos out of his shell.

This team needs a new GM and HC; the team needs to be evaluated from top to bottom and the elements that are not producing should be cut.

Really making it rough on us fans. At least I get to see their stellar play again, in just a few nights.

How many other charger fans got real nervous knowing we traveled to the east coast only to play in the rain? Traveling east decreases testosterone production which causes lack of sleep. Chargers should have been in Ohio a week ago to prepare their bodies for an early east coast game.

East coast? I thought that was a lake.

So many things wrong with this team and city. Suffice to say, the Chargers brief window of being a competitive team is at an end. This team will be in major overhaul mode (new owner, GM, coach, and QB) at the end of the season, if not sooner.

The Dolts will be bottom feeders for the next two decades at least.

The Chargers are falling apart. As per usual, let’s see if we can dig out of a hole? I guess that is what happens when our team allows top players to leave. Vincent Jackson should have been signed 3 years ago, instead of playing a stupid game of “chicken”. Sproles should have been retained & Turner before that. Rivers & Gates are not what they were before, with those players on the team. Rivers is throwing off his backfoot & his play has been dropping over a 2 year span, & he’s my favourite player:( Jammer should be playing safety as his speed is a problem, & Cason plays soft like a baby. Any team with 2 good receivers, they cannot manage & that will continue to be a problem against good teams. The list goes on… perhaps when the team moves to Los Angeles, we can make a fresh start & leave behind the curse of being a loser.

I am a Bengals fan, but I am impressed with the Browns. They have had a lot of close games this year and in a couple of weeks, I expect they will have more wins than the Bengals, (since the Bengals are starting the hard part of their schedule) and the Bengals will soon be last in the AFC North.

Good ‘ole Marvin will come out of the bye week, with even more running plays for a team that just can’t run the ball well.

@panamon: You’re a typical charger fan, looking for a flag. Just like Rivers after every single offensive play. It was clean, your bolts botched a road game they should have won.

Best case scenario for the dirty bolts and the surging RAIDERS– Saints win…

Go Brees..

I keep reading that the Browns are turning the corner, getting better, yadda yadda yadda. I’d like to believe it, but it’s going to take more than two wins in the past 11 months to convince me. Let’s not get overly excited about a one-point win in the rain. Let’s see this team beat the Ravens and Steelers, or win three in a row, or post a couple of blowouts, before we start proclaiming that the team has finally turned the corner. A record of 2-6 at the midpoint means we’re on track to go 4-12 like last year, and that’s not exactly the right direction. I want more, and like any Browns fan, I think I’ve been plenty patient.

Fire Norv and ditch A.J Smith too. Now. Maybe then we can turn this horrendous season into a something better.

Seriously. Please.

Well, an ugly win’s better than a loss any day. Still, though, I highly question Shurmur’s idea to get cute on that reverse play that nearly blew up in his face. Plays like that are exactly why I don’t like him as HC and definitely see him on the way out at the end of the season. Plus, he’s too…mellow.

A new low losing to the browns?? Geez man can you give the browns a little credit for winning?

Take a chill, Norv and AJ. You will be fired before the end of the year. Ronnie Brown? Really? REALLY?!?

Not pretty but a W nevertheless. This is the type of game we would usually lose on that last drive – today the defense held. Take heart Browns fans, this team is starting to gel!

The Saints have been good since ’06. But that’s the same thing as a few decades…

Low scoring slap fight between 2 struggling teams playing in a monsoon. Must have been compelling stuff.

Anyone else glad they didn’t spend any time watching this game?

I wonder if the loss will finally do Norv in. Probably not since he has lasted this long, but when will the torture end for Chargers fans?
