BL Live Blog: big change

Does Mangini regret throwing the review flag? He should, the Saints had their field goal team lined up and ready. The net result of Mangini's call was it gave time to Payton to realize that another review of the possession itself would give him 4th and 1 instead of 4th and 4.

BL Live Blog: onto the fourth quarter

Up at least 14. If the offense can generate at least a few first downs it really will take the pressure off the Browns defense. In any case it will probably come down to the Browns D to win this one.

BL Live Blog: he was down....

No fumble by New Orleans. Maybe we ice the kicker though.

BL Live Blog: watching the clock

I noticed Sean Payton taking a look at the clock. It's starting to be an issue for New Orleans. 18:30 left in the game down 17 is tough.

BL Live Blog: battle of field position

The Browns are sluggish on offense so far in the second half but New Orleans continue to hurt themselves with penalties and therefore the Browns are winning the field position battle and eating clock.

BL Live Blog: Ben Watson finally grabs one

BL Live Blog: chain gang member hurt

It's not often we think about it but more than the players put themselves at risk on Sunday in the NFL. Gain gang member Al Nastaci took a very nasty blow and was immobilized and taken to the hospital. No further word at this time

Thoughts and prayers.

BL Live Blog: 1st and 35

BL Live Blog: first half

Browns D gets 3 intercepts.
Special team make 2 huge plays.

A+

Can't wait for the second half to start. Browns will have the ball. We need to avoid turnovers and work the clock on offense and keep playing fantastic Defense. If the Browns can do those two things we should be able to walk out of New Orleans with an unexpected W

BL Live Blog: yes!!!!!!!!

David Bowens intercept and TD. That is so huge, now the Browns can come out in the second half where they will start with the ball, and work the clock with runs and ball control passes.

BL Live Blog: special teams

Browns D has been great and our special teams have come up big. It's a worry that our big plays on special teams have yielded 6 points instead of 14. Could those 8 lost points end up being critical?

BL Live Blog: special teams again!

Fantastic fake punt. Brad Seely's special teams come up big again. We need 7 here!!

BL Live Blog: Mangini

I really like Coach Mangini's sideline demeanor today. He looks relaxed and determined which is a contrast to his usual nervousness. Players notice this
