In the end the Browns had a chance to extend the longest winning streak in the NFL with a win over the horrendous Bucs. They decided to change their philosophy this year. In their 4 game winning streak last year their run to pass ratio:
37-19
49-18
46-17
49-11
yesterday against Tampa:
21-38
Obviously they can't keep with the ridiculous ratio they established out of necessity last year, but they became a much better team by becoming a running team. Jake Delhomme stinks bad. Perhaps not the level of Brady-Derek Quinn-Anderson bad but still bad. They need to run a lot. In their 4 game winning streak they ran 74 percent of the time. Yesterday they ran 35 percent. Tampa had the worst run defense in the NFL last year. Yeah, they make sense.
