The Browns won their third game of the season, giving the fans at least a small break from watching disgusting football. The love and support from those in the stadium today was very nice to experience, and it’ll be something that I’ll always remember.

“I shook it off once we got in here, ” he said. Both players took advantage of huge holes created by the offensive line to rip off large chunks of yardage. Gabbert was sacked nine times and completed 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards with one touchdown pass.
After an overtime win the previous Sunday at Chicago, the 49ers (4-9) had positive energy throughout the week leading up to this loss, Tomsula said.
“We all took a step backward today”, Tomsula added. The game showcased big plays and a defensive performance where the team actually stopped an offense from scoring more than 30 points. When the 49ers’ management parted ways with former coach Jim Harbaugh last winter and introduced the current staff, the spin was that the coaches were “teachers” and that it’s exactly what the roster needed.
Joe Staley arrived at work Sunday morning and, within a few hours, discovered that he had received the wrong memo. “That’s just the way the National Football League goes sometimes, but we have to keep fighting”.
“It’s a false comment”. “We tried to prepare as much as possible to defend that”. To get a touchdown there before the half on a busted coverage, you have to make them pay on things like that. “That’s a stupid remark”. The Browns ended their seven-game losing streak with a dominating 24-10 effort over the 49ers.
Johnny Football finally accepted some blame.
Manziel was given plenty of time to throw and pick out open receivers to build a 10-0 lead. He also stood still in the pocket often thanks to a lousy pass rush, which produced just two sacks.
Gabbert wasn t as lucky.
Three sacks came when Gabbert ran out of bounds, and he noted screen plays didn’t develop as anticipated on a couple of those occasions.
I know better than that.
“Josh (McCown) and everybody did a good job of making sure, ‘Take some deep breaths”.
Against a defense allowing 398.8 per game, the 49ers gained 221 yards, although 94 came on a latedrive capped by Gabbert’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Jerome Simpson with 1:42 remaining.
Linebacker Ahmad Brooks’ frustrations began to boil over in the fourth quarter.
“The Surface did survive, I believe, ” he said. “You’re digging yourself a deep, deep hole”. His passer rating was 92.1.
Manziel, who was banished to the bench two weeks ago for lying to the team about partying, threw for 270 yards on 21-of-31 passing for one touchdown and one interception. Safety Jaquiski Tartt made the easy interception. The 49ers converted that takeaway into a quick, three-and-out. The block seemed to give the 49ers a jolt of adrenaline and then…. The off-season might be a tense one for Cleveland’s front office, should it want its young QB back again in 2016. The 49ers couldn’t protect him, and Gabbert went down nine times.
