Game Thread: WEEK 8... @CLE

Also, pretty amazing that they didn’t have a backup plan if their kicker ever got hurt….Harvin couldn’t kick an extra point? Center Ray Mansfield kicked an extra point in a playoff game in 1976…..

Agreed. Most punters know how to kick a FG in a pinch. Pat McAfee did it for Indy a handful of times if I recall correctly. Shit even WRs have done it. I remember watching Chad Johnson kick a FG for Cincy, and I think Wes Welker did for the Pats some time ago.

I suspect Harvin was capable, hence why he was practicing at halftime... But they felt more confident in their offense than they did with Harvin's FG abilities. The offense has been very inconsistent this year, so I'm guessing Harvin is hot garbage at kicking a FG lol.

His first kickoff didn't help the situation either.

Ben Roethlisberger Says 'We Found Out That Pressley Doesn't Kick' After Chris Boswell Injury

One of the most-talked-about plays from yesterday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns will inevitably be the fake field goal attempt that resulted in Steelers kicker Chris Boswell taking a shot and spilling out of bounds, ultimately leaving the game and being ruled...

The whole who would hold the ball for Harvin seems to have been another challenge.
NO backup kicker and no backup holder.

Having neither option available makes the fake FG attempt that much worse.

I did question that, but you would think any receiver could be able to get coached up to take an impromptu snap like that. The snap & hold is vastly easier than kicking it through the uprights.

Cam sums it up best....

Browns back in the pits of hell, players passive aggressively fighting each other line.

You love to see it.

Actually kind of surprised to be honest… Stefanski built a better culture than that. Guess he hasn’t quite gotten his teeth sunk in yet. Or he just hasn’t faced this level of adversity?

And the fact they still have OBJ on the roster.

That situation is hilarious. Browns fans are furious. The jersey burning ceremonies have already commenced
