The official Brownstains drop a deuce on the Colts gameday thread.

Pretty obvious the Browns were supposed to win this one. Absolutely fucking ricockulous calls at the end of the game.

Extra TO is an extra play with 15 seconds. Whether we're down 1 or 3 was meaningless at that point.

10 yard completion, TO, 10 yard completion TO, hailmary...or you can run the 2 plays we did.

Fraidy cat play calling the last 2 drives when we had the lead and the clock. When you play not to lose, you lose! Prevent offense followed by prevent defense.

Maybe not at the end of the game, but the play calling at the end of the half for us allowed the Browns an extra FG. But maybe that's Jim Bob more than Shane.

Although if the Browns would have been 8 at the end instead of 5 then I'm sure the refs would have figured out a way to gift them a TD and 3 point conversion.

There's plenty of blame to go around for the Colts in this game, but the refs were the ultimate fuckers in this game. By far. That was about as bad as reffing as I've seen since Manning's rookie year against the 49ers.

It was a stupid time out. Let’s say Pittman makes that catch at midfield. You have to call your last timeout. 9 seconds left. Without wasting one you could have thrown to the middle of the field again to get in long FG range. Instead they would have had to throw to the sidelines which Browns would have contested heavily. I love Shane, he was poor tactically today. Last two minutes cost the team the game (plus refs). That was on coach. Timeout took options off the board at the end.

I'm so furious I can hardly speak. This officiating crew should be drawn
and quartered. I'm so sick and fucking tired of getting boned by these
crews week after week. Next home game Irsay should give security the
day off and let the zebras try this shit again. Fuck, I am mad.
This was theft pure and simple. And fuck the league for their supposed
review and grading of officials, its bullshit.

Not if they were throwing the game for the Browns. That was egregious.

I'm hoping that this very questionably-refereed loss bands the Colts together, as opposed to demoralizing them ...... they could go on a 5-game winning streak heading into the game against the Bengals on December 10th.
