Preseason games don't matter!

Say it three times slowly - Preseason games don't matter!

Okay, now that that's out of the way, the BROWNS won 17 to 14 last night.

The score is the extent of the good news. Here is the rest of the story:

Second round draft pick, Brodney Pool suffered a concussion in the opening minutes of the game. Hopefully, it was a minor concussion and he will be alright.

Our first string was pushed around by the Giants first string. Winning in preseason doesn't matter if it is done by players who will be unemployed in four weeks.

So many penalties that the refs had to send out for new whistles at half time. I will attribute some of the problems of the offensive line to the fact that this group had never played together before. Next week might be a better indicator of whether the O-line can block without committing penalties.

All in all, it was a sloppy game which matched the rainy field conditions. Next weekend the Browns have a road game against the Lions where we will see if any of these problems are fixed.
