Coming from ahead to lose

I don't have a whole lot of interest to say about today's Browns game, but I do want to discuss what I consider to have been the play of the game. I don't mean to blame Braylon Edwards for today's loss -- there's plenty of blame to go around -- but if he'd come down with that deep pass when the score was tied in the fourth quarter, he probably would have scored, and it would have changed the whole complexion of the game. It's impossible to know for sure, of course, but I think there's about an 80% chance the Browns would have won.

You may notice I have not named the Browns' opponent today. I'm not sure if this will be a hard and fast rule going forward, but at least for now, I'm not using their name. In fact, I'm not saying about that team, except that I freaking HAAAAAAATE losing to them.

On a side note, the Giants trounced the Cowboys 35-14 today, to improve to 7-1. The Browns are still the only blemish on their record. I'd like to see the Browns that took the field that day again, but I've come to terms with the fact that I probably won't see them again this year. Maybe if we could play undefeated teams every week, we could win some games. I hope the Titans are still undefeated when we play them in week 14.
