Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers - 20Oct2013

Browns at Packers - 4pm game - in the first qtr, GB alread leads 14-0! My 24-14 GB win prediction could be way off. Browns only look bad on offense, defense, and special teams in the first qtr. #browns #nfl

(Trying this in one post instead of 100+ microblog posts.)

Will defensive coordinator Ray Horton blame fatigue for the bad Browns defensive play in the first quarter? 14 points?

Weeden did through an interception in the first qtr to give GB a short field, but Rogers passing and Lacy running are shredding the Browns. 38 points surrendered by Browns defense in the last 3 qtrs going back to the second half of last Sunday vs Detroit when the Lions scored 24 second half points.

First qtr offense poss for Browns:
- 3 and out
- int
- 3 and out, then a fake punt, generous spot by refs, measure, first down, but challenge by GB on the spot. could be short and GB's ball with another short field for the Packer offense.

Why can't the Browns defense hold the offense to field goals?

After review, the refs say the call on the field stands. Close call. Probably not enough info to overturn ruling on the field.

2:09 left in 1st qtr and Weeden is 2 for 10 passing. A couple drops by Browns pass catchers and overthrows by Weeden.

It just seems like Weeden is too afraid of throwing an interception. Can't force passes nor make dumb decisions, but the QB needs supreme confidence to trust his arm and receivers.

After the Browns successful fake punt on 4th and 4, the Browns stall on the next series and punt. Touchback. GB starts on own 20, leading 14-0. 1:12 left in 1st qtr.

Need big play or at least a stop by Browns defense now. Play some field position. So far so good. Now 3rd and 6 on GB first series. Packers on own 24. First qtr ends.

First play of 2nd qtr, Rogers completes pass to Nelson for 13 yard gain, plus a 15-yard personal foul penalty on Browns LB Kruger. GB at
