I’m not sure they blitzed once that whole half. It’s clear as day woods and crew are terrified on being beat over the top and it’s showing.

Flacco and Mitchell have looked like all pros against this defense. There’s really nothing more that needs to be said.

It’s very obvious woods adjustment this game was not to get beat over the top. Glad we’re getting gashed by arguably the worst rushing attack in the nfl instead.

Getting absolutely gashed.

Who wants to bet me we lose by one point? Jacoby is cooking right now. They are daring him to throw and he’s lighting them up.

Arguably a bottom 3 rushing attack just absolutely gashed us.

The announcers completely understated how incredibly talented that shit was.

And amazingly but in no way surprising, the last team to do it was also the Cleveland Browns in 2001.

https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2022/09/19/browns-john-johnson-iii-denzel-ward-both-deflecting-blame-from-blown-coverage-vs-jets/ Between these comments and Myles' after the game, I think a huge part of the problem is leadership. We got two dudes on this side of the ball potentially making almost $200 million and it's all about pointing fingers. Ward saying "it's not my coverage but i'll take the blame" is akin to saying "I'm sorry if you were upset by what I said". Leadership is a glaring issue on the defense and frankly the Browns in general. When you realize the guy maybe to bring that to the team is Watson..yikes. I'm not in the mindset of dudes having to throw trash cans or yell at people on the sidelines. But the apathy is a big part of the culture it seems.

Put simply, there's less than zero excuse for a dude being WIDE OPEN like Corey Davis was on the TD before the onside disaster. You can at least live with a great play or missed tackle (a la the Vikings in the playoffs a while back) but no one was even in the zip code. If the guys in the secondary can't have the common sense to do that (as we've seen two weeks in a row) it's time to make personnel changes. Very glad it's a short week and all the other AFC North teams lost (to include an epic meltdown by the Ravens, too).

Chubb stays in bounds and doesn’t score and we win. Kick an extra point and it’s overtime. Recover a kick and we win. Don’t give up a awfully bad TD and we win. coaching blows period. Woods doesn’t understand schemes to keep defenses together to win games. Stop fucking defending that asshole.

How many times does a woods defense give up huge plays before it’s a him problem?

I’m so tired of teller pancakes being called holding.

I just tailgated for a college football game and TBH, another part of the reality is watching on the TV is almost a better experience anymore. Here in South Florida it's still 1000 degrees and people are just assholes even to their fellow fans. I was at a non-insignificant college game wearing the opposing team shirt (I graduated from college there) and had drunken idiots heckling me for what amounted to essentially a high school game with a bigger stadium. It sucks because tailgating is something I used to love but it's just hard to find the passion for it anymore as opposed to sitting in front of a big ass, crystal clear TV with the same food cooking, same people there, same fun. I don't even care about the lines to pee, price of beers, etc I've just found it sucks to be around people so much lately.

Three things: -The amount of auto corrects to "Brisket" for our QB1 between here, Reddit, and Facebook is quite amusing. -Mayfield sucked nuts in the first half but put the Panthers in a position to win, barring two really questionable foul calls on our last drive. I'm not a Mayfield homer, never have been. But to say "it was only because of X, Y, Z" could be said any game and essentially any QB save 3-4 in the league. Jacoby missed wide open dudes on bad defensive calls. I don't want the guy back, but to simply shake off what he did in the 2nd half to "luck" is short-sighted at best. -I literally can't enough of Chubb running the football. Gameplan aside, what an absolute pleasure it is to see that dude play the game of football. In my 33 years of life I can easily say I've never watched a dude play as well as he does. The amount of times a 2-3 yard turns into a 5-6 yard play because of his talent is incredible.

Please tell me more.

Baker rebounding in a huge way this second half.

And I think it was at least partly fair to wonder if that was caused by injury last year. No excuse now- he’s been atrocious so far.

His man was WIDE open too. This QB play is wildly bad.

Felton has looked beyond shaky back there.

Jacoby is playing Kiser level bad right now. These missed throws are brutal.

It drives me insane how late Stef calls in plays. Two awful throws by Brissett so far.

I try to remind myself often that guys like Josh Allen rarely, if ever, overcome the issues he had with accuracy coming out of college. But holy shit does that dude look good out there-truly elite in every aspect of the game. Will be very interested to see how Daboll does with Daniel Jones and NYG. If he turns that guy around to even look competent, he might end up becoming one the next hotshot coaches of the NFL.

It's funny how life intersects- I was also at this game in the scorching heat (not realizing there was indeed a shaded section of Hard Rock stadium). I vividly remember that doink too, and it's funny thinking how folks like you and Tour have that now funny memory. Not going to act like I knew the man at all, nor were we friends. I just pray everyone in his life to include you all find solace and peace. Too many good men didn't get to see this stupid team we love win the whole thing-fuck cancer.

The bold is also the big picture here no one wants to talk about. Let's be real, if the situation Dutch described happened there's exactly a 0% he comes to Cleveland. Despite having 25 women accuse the dude of sexual violence we still had to pay the dude the most aggressive contract in NFL history. Once people forget about this, what's to say in 4 years he doesn't do it again? Especially if the train derails and we end up in a bad season or two, there's no reason to think the scumbag wouldn't do it again. Nothing will ever make this all worth it. I get it-my dad just turned 64 years old and has been a Browns fan his whole life. Outside a small stretch in the 80's this team has been essentially the most irrelevant team in the NFL his entire adult life. For you older folks, I get it-I mean my avatar even suggests it and I'm only in my mid-30s. But there's gotta be a point where we realize this is just a game for enjoyment.
