People who suck

Welcome to People Who Suck, November 7th edition. Today, we look at the Cleveland Browns, a whole group of people who suck.

The Browns Defense sucks. They got shredded by Jay Culter in the second half last night. They dropped multiple interceptions. They gave up a critical 4th and 1 despite tackling the ball-carrier in the backfield. They surrendered a 13 point 3rd quarter lead. They gave up the second most passing yards in team history to Cutler. At home. Against a team which had been held without a pass play over 20 yards for 4 straight games. Basically, they suck.

Oh, but the suckage isn't limited to the Browns Defense. The offense has its share of suckitude, specifically in the person of one Kellen Winslow Jr., graduate of Scripps Ranch High School and The University of Miami. Now, looking at the box score, it may seem like Mr. Winslow, who had 100 yards and 2 tds receiving, does not, in fact, suck. But oh, you would be mistaken. Look further down in that boxscore, where it shows penalties, and you'll see a critical Offensive PI penalty which took away a 3rd down conversion and a scoring chance from his team. Mr. Winslow wasn't even the intended receiver. After this penalty the Broncos scored on a 93 yard play against the aforementioned sucky Browns Defense.

So how does Mr. Winslow make up for his gaffe? On the very next series, he caught a pass which would have been a big first down, but Mr. Winslow got greedy. He just had to have one single stinking extra yard, to prove how tough he was. And while he was busy NOT getting down, the Broncos were busy making sure he did NOT have the football any more. The resulting turnover gave the Donks the ball with great field position, which they quickly turned into a go ahead touchdown. Basically, Mr. Winslow sucks so much that even with 100 yards and 2 TDS, he lost his team the game. That takes talent.

So congratulations, Cleveland. For the second straight game you blow a 2 TD second half lead at home. And for your efforts, you get to be today's "People Who Suck"
