I gotcha. I thought the 1st drive personal foul call on Robinson was the worst of the game but they scored so it was soon forgotten. NFL refs are bad across the board and that is why more and more calls are reviewable. We all want nothing more to finally root for a team worth a damn. Have a good rest of your Sunday

Agree on all of this but not sure you can teach discipline or humility. Always thought those character traits are intrinsic

As President of the Negativity Brigade I agree the sky is not falling but there are glaring issues that we saw last year and in previous years. Baker holds the ball too long and makes poor decisions with his feet. You can live with bad throws because all QBs make them. With inconsistent OL play, which I don't think will change given the personnel, Baker's internal clock and decision making have to be on point. The offensive line is down one very good player from last years group and Robinson is one of the biggest question marks at LT in the league. Robinson's consistency is a concern and then he kicks someone because he got owned, bad look. Siebert may turn out to be a solid kicker but his senior season at OU he wasn't great and he has shown nerves in the past, fingers crossed. My biggest concern is the secondary. Getting teams behind the chains is a real possibility for the defensive front but that doesn't do much if the secondary gives up big plays and penalties. The final concern is Kitchens. With no head coaching experience and his "players' coach" mentality it goes one of two ways, very successful or dumpster fire. I agree with his presser that the world isn't over but the "it's one game and we're going to fix it" schtick that coach's use is less believable when you just got ran in your house as a 5.5 favorite. If you think this is simply one loss, you're kidding yourself.

There were some missed calls, yes JRB I admit it, but I think the stadium looks deceived a bit. The Landry trip comes to mind, on the replay he simply stubbed his toe on the way out of bounds. The calls weren't great but the play was terrible

Baker is an easy target because he likes the sound of his own voice. You can run your mouth when you win but those QBs, with the exception of Rodgers typically don't. Brady, Brees, Dak, Wilson, Wentz, etc. don't yap.

D Line was good as were the LBers. Secondary stinks as it has for the past 10 years. Baker is great and terrible in the same game but that's Baker. Most diehard fans were nervous about the O Line and the ejection and injury didn't help today. I am most disappointed in the institutional lack of discipline and the terrible play calling after the first drive.

Baker's offseason comments will fuel the discussion of his 3 INT lackluster performance. As a Sooner fan the Baker relationship was love/hate in part because of his antics. Just show up and play football. I know many Browns fans think he's "keeping' it real" but he comments on stuff that don't do him, the team or the organization and help. I hope he grows as a person and a player but I hoped for that when he was at Oklahoma.

LOL Dude you can't blow it up after week one but I like the passion

It doesn't excuse it but it's our reality. This team is a bunch of prima dona pussies that haven't won shit. The Browns of the 80s that I loved were hard-nosed bad asses that gave all they had all the time. I get this is the modern NFL and that has waned a bit but these excuse making punks that celebrate the mundane and play like shit half the time isn't football. Blaming the refs for this game is just another excuse for guys who don't execute.

I'd like more than one defender to have a shot at a tackle on a fucking screen

Holding calls and PI calls are bad for both sides of the ball most games. Randall got there early and if it happened to OBJ we'd want the call. We've thrown a punch, kicked a dude, hit the QB after the throw that everyone saw, etc. Only rose colored glasses would suggest the refs are costing us the game.

Are you sure? Landry stubbed his toe going out of bounds and you wanted a flag, just saying.

Bad teams complain about refs. The worst call of the game, the PF on Robinson on the first drive was overcome by a TD.

I'm finally on board, the first half in half players and half coaching

It's starting to be our calling card, lack of discipline.

Baker looks solid. O Line, in spite of the shit call, looking good. Siebert, stinks but he wasn;t good at Oklahoma. Defense still pedestrian. Let's get it going BROWNS!!!

Good place to schedule a secret meeting with the Taliban, good job Obamao, oh wait

For the first time in a while I have hope, not liking the nervousness

Baker is a world class idiot. I really don't care as long as he produces on the field. Friday's preseason game wasn't great

Understand why he retired and am ambivalent.

I love quantum physics. They are my favorite of the sciences but please don't ask me about my favorite theory as that is deeply personal.

Love this post, stay classy Cleveland. Explains why Lebron couldn't get out fast enough...twice

His constant apologizing for Kim. If he believes the nonsense he says he should be removed from office. If he doesn't believe then....that too is a lie. The reception he received in Britain is a perfect example of what a first world nation believes our leader is...and it's sad. Policies aside he is the least Presidential president in history and the sad commentary is many americans are supportive of that. While I don't think you need to be as buttoned up as Obama, Bush Sr, Cater, etc. but it wouldn't surprise me if he showed up at the UN wearing a shirt with a big ketchup stain on it.

It has been for a certain political cohort but unfortunately it seems to be growing and affecting seemingly rational people.

All this does is empower the Trumpettes
