Browns win 31, 49ers 17. Antonio Callaway's return unleashes the OBJ we've dreamed about since April, Myles Garrett sacks Jimmy G three times (one of them a strip) after tossing the rookie LT around like a rag doll all game.

We're a good team, potentially very good but not great yet. Watched the last two minutes of KC vs the Lions, now KC is a great team.

Yea, I don't see it.  He was running for his life mostly, not moving out of the pocket too quickly.  If he had not moved, he would have been toast.  Not sure what game you watched.   In addition, I don't think the scheme of routes being run were very well designed to give him a chance to read the field after his initial read.   Way, way too many slow developing routes....which he had no time to allow to develop.

Baker's leading the NFL in escaping clean pockets this season. He looks like a completely different QB this year:

Continues to call long route passing plays with his QB standing in his own Endzone against the best DT in the league

I don’t want to panic yet, but some of it is concerning 

That's the crap Hue used to do, I was ambivalent about the hire but I'm definitely  worried now.

Looks like the rookie coach learning curve is going to be steeper than we hoped.

Why did mike tomlin kick a fg from the 1 yd line down 20 with 9 mins left in the 3rd?  All coaches do stupid stuff.

Stupid stuff versus a stupid gameplan are two different things. Derrick Henry is their only offensive weapon and what did Freddy do to stop him? We score a touchdown, stop the Titans and instead of running the ball and burn clock, start throwing again and give the ball back to the Titans. Mariota falls apart when playing from behind everyone but Freddie seems to know that.

For his inaugural game as head coach, Freddie failed miserably in discipline, play calling and personnel. Why pass on 3rd and 1 with Nick Chubb in your backfield and if you're going to be aggressive might as well go for it on 4th down? Why was Genard Avery inactive while Chad Thomas played (didn't see a stat attributed to him or Olivier Vernon). To lose in this fashion with the most talented roster in years is an indictment of the coach and the GM who hired him. Bob Wylie may have been right after all.

Firstly let's not rewrite history, the decision to start Tyrod was soley Dorsey's which is why he gave up a third round pick to rent him for a year. Hue sucked but benching Baker wasn't on him. The loss of TN's starting left tackle will be a major factor in winning this game. Myles will be going against a backup and if he's double teamed, Ogunjobi or Vernon will be feasting on Mariota. Challenges will occur later in the season but TN isn't one of them IMO, Browns win by at least a touchdown.
