Factory of Sadness - Cleveland Browns Franchise (Madden 12)

[Cre8]

As a Browns fan, I must say that if we manage to even come close to beating the Ravens like you did (24-20) it will make my December... Well, until the Stillers come along.

Nice job on this. Looking forward to reading some more!

I think you have a shot at winning the division since it looks more like the NFC West last season than the AFC North this season!

Yeah I know what you mean, I wanted mine realistic. When I traded Hillis, the Bengals want him straight up for AJ Green, but I didn't find that legitimate, a future star for a struggling running back...riiiight lol.

I was always a big Vince fan so I put him back on the Titans, then I put Hassleback on the Redskins.

Hope you keep following.

Yeah the game against the Ravens was tough, I can't seem to run right at them so I had to give Little the ball in space. I really hope the Browns at least beat the Ravens or the Stillers this year.

I think I have a good chance at winning the division, it just matters what team shows up, the 5-straight loses team or the 3-straight wins team.

I hope you keep following, it's nice to see people comment I hate that there are like 2,500 views and like 12 comments.

Thanks.

Pittsburgh (December 9th, 2011) - Cribbs rushed for 29 yards out of the wildcat formation, had 102 return yards and caught one pass for 25 yards.

He picked up a big first down on a 25-yard run in the fourth quarter when the Browns were trying to milk the clock, but then left the game with a broken-collarbone with the Browns leading 21-20.

The Browns relied upon newly-acquired Clinton Portis to finish the Steelers off, Portis saw an opening and darted off toward the endzone but was smacked by Ryan Clark and fumbled the ball at the 2-yard line with 1:02 left.

Pittsburgh's ball.

3 and 10, 98 yards away from the endzone -- 49 seconds left, Roethlisberger drops back and connects with Brown, but Brown fumbles.

Cleveland's ball, T.J. Ward returns the ball for the score! -- 28-20 Browns with 42 seconds left.

Big Ben gets the ball back with 37 seconds left, -- zero timeouts. He leads the Steelers down the field but gets stopped at the 32-yard line. 3 and 2 from the 32 -- 2 seconds remaining, Roethlisberger tosses up a hailmary.

Touchdown Pittsburgh! With a sucessful 2-point conversion -- Overtime.

The Browns lose the toss, and unexpectedly Cleveland attempts a surprise onside-kick; they fail.

The Steelers start overtime with the ball at the Cleveland 48, drive down into field goal position and kick the winning field goal.

"I am speech-less", said Shurmur.

Cleveland might have let their chance at the play-offs slip through their hands.

Game notes
Seneca Wallace connected with Mohamed Massaquoi for a 78-yard touchdown.
Ahtyba Rubin was fined $10,000 for a roughing the passer penalty.
Clinton Portis finished with 20 carries for 75 yards, TD but had two costly fumbles.

49ers offense can't hope to move the ball against a defense as fast and aggressive as the Steelers' without opening up the playbook.
The Steelers' priority on defense Sunday will be to stop Gore. They have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the past 8 games.

Chiefs coach Todd Haley said Wednesday that Jamaal Charles will get 30 touches if all possible. "I want to keep the ball out of Aaron Rodgers hands, if he can't control the tempo, he can't win."
"No comment" said Rodgers.

Phoenix (December 18th, 2011) - A pair of victories over division opponents had the Browns in the play-off talk, but another 4-quarter blunder cost the Browns a must-needed win.

"It's about time for us to win some games like that," Shurmur said.

Starting wide-receiver Josh Cribbs looks to be lost for the remainder of the season with a broken-collarbone.

"I'm beyond frustrated right now," Little said. "I've never been on a team that has been in this situation. I don't like it. I hope this is the only time in my career that I'm ever in a situation like this."

"Timing is really important on offense and we haven't had a lot of that with the same 11 guys. You have to fight through that," coach Pat Shurmur said.

The Cardinals are also dealing with a potential injury on their offense too. Whisenhunt said quarterback Kurt Warner has a concussion and will be evaluated throughout the week to see if he can play Sunday.

Wells has a career-best eight touchdowns rushing, one more than his rookie year in 2009. He faces the team that he grew up watching as a little boy, "I remember when the Browns got moved I was devastated" said Wells.

Cleveland needs to win-out and have a little luck -- the Steelers need to lose-out for the Browns to make the play-offs.
