Niners Suffer a Brown Out in Cleveland

Gabbert credited the Browns’ defensive game plan and across-the-board effort for the 49ers yielding a franchise record for sacks in a single game. In his starts this season, Manziel has provided the type of positive energy that the Browns were hoping he would back when they drafted him.

More importantly for the Browns, he held himself accountable. Having a running game, which shockingly came to life against the 49ers, took the pressure off Manziel.

Johnny Football finally accepted some blame.

MARKDOWN: That said, Manziel’s quarterback rating in the first half (69.2) was still better than Gabbert’s first-half rating (57.0). But it was one bad play in an otherwise good game by Manziel, as the Browns won for the first time since October 11.

The post Gabbert physically fine after nine-sack beating appeared first on 49ers Hot Read.

And whatever he was doing or saying, it was enough to provoke some yapping by 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who had a back-and-forth with Manziel after one fourth-quarter play and later was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. “They had us on our heels”.

Cleveland resumed to march down the field.

Smith passed the streak of Bernie Kosar (308) earlier in the game, making his the second-longest in National Football League history.

Generally unprotected by the offensive line, Gabbert got sacked nine times, one more than his entire total through his previous four starts.

“I figured after the little deal they did in pregame that was going to be it. So I kind of exhaled and was trying to find my rhythm”, he said. “I still have a lot to prove”. I started a website called Greedwatch about it, which eventually mutated into the OBR as the Browns returned. This was principally because of the five sacks taken by Gabbert in the first two quarters plus mediocre output (45 passing yards on 5-of-11 attempts).

With the Browns near midfield, Manziel was forced from the pocket and scrambled near the Browns sideline.

Manziel stormed off the field and slammed his helmet to the ground. That’s when he had his temper tantrum. “I feel bad about that throughout the last months of my life, really thinking back and seeing how much of my life outside of this field and outside of this locker room is documented”. “Then I looked at the Surface”.

Pettine wasn’t upset with the QB’s heated response.

“It would bother me more if he was just, ‘whatever, ‘ and walked off, ” said Pettine. He looked to have a good rapport with wide receiver Brian Hartline until he left with a collarbone injury. The quarterback’s passes were on the money most of the game, however, throwing a touchdown pass in the third quarter to Tight End Gary Barnidge in the third quarter.

The 49ers did nothing well. The San Francisco 49ers are a terrible team.

Watkins’ latest big play was a 47-yard TD reception in the first quarter against Philadelphia.

The 40-year-old made 305 field goals with the Browns, who elected not to re-sign him. “I’ll never forget it”.

Numerous fans at First Energy Stadium stood and cheered when San Francisco kicker and former Browns stalwart Phil Dawson was given a scoreboard salute in the first quarter. Isaiah Crowell ran for a career-best 145 yards and two touchdowns.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (4-8): Running back Carlos Hyde is expected to miss his sixth consecutive game with a stress fracture in his foot, which is disappointing news as Cleveland ranks 31st against the run with an average of 136.3 yards allowed.
