Even 49ers fans were saying they didn’t deserve to win that game. Browns outplayed them most of the game. 
 

if we can get rid of these turnovers on offense the browns will be fine

Watson looked awesome today. That’s all I’m saying. Without the terrible Amari Cooper call, he has 3 tds and 400 yds

Just saying ppl are still bringing baker up even 3 years removed just because he had a hot start in Tampa. Fans and everyone else are talking about it.

this game was a nice reminder, that when Watson is playing on his game. He does stuff baker couldn’t. Which is why they paid the money. Watson was doing Houdini stuff today. It was nice to see

Browns will contend for the division this year. I’m ready. Let’s go. Just stay healthy

It's about fucking time.. Pissed?.. Why would I be pissed? We're paying him big money... It's about time he started performing like it...

Love you nickers .you have a point, it’s about time. But you also admit he looked damn good today. Watson is only gonna get better 

He looked really good. Still room to improve, but he actually had timing this week on his throws. He is a rollercoaster when he scrambles, but he is absolutely an upgrade over Baker. Watson is a boom or bust kinda player, but he was on today and looked absolutely phenomenal. Watson will only get better. He was throwing darts today.

Nickers is gonna be pissed with how well Watson played 

he looked really good. Should’ve had 3 tds and 379 yds. Without the laughable call from the refs. 

Huge get! 5.25 million for 1 year. We needed someone other than Jordan Elliot starting next to Tomlinson. Loving our D line so far. Hopefully Wright and Thomas can heal up from surgery quick. 

Lamar is not as dangerous as he used to be and can’t stay healthy. League has caught up to him. I think it’s a bad deal. 255 M over 5 years 185 guaranteed. 

Elijah Moore, welcome to the club. Had a horrible qb last year. Will get way more opportunities here

Elijah Moore. For a second, and we get a third at 74.

nice deal my Berry

been a solid FA for him. I’m excited. Team is getting balanced on both sides of the ball.

Pocic resigned for 3 years. Nice!

Yikes what a cringe post

I was on Reddit reading all the idiots praising and glorifying him saying he killed it. I love going to Reddit, it’s like going to the zoo. Country is in the worst shape it’s been in years and democrats would rather be broke and jobless as long as trump isn’t in office. I’m at McDonald’s and the cashier literally just said they aren’t very busy cuz ppl are broke and prices are so high. 

Are they for sure dumping JJ3? I would not miss him. 

The nfl is fake as hell

and your a moron if you disagree, reality is often disappointing. It’s so blatantly obvious there is a script to these games. It’s not real football.

I always will love the browns, but ppl that have a brain, and watch this product, should realize this isn’t real. 

MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YA

Refresher course...

31 personnel from empty vs the Pats "base" defensive personnel.  

-----------------------------------------------------

 

Double seam choice vs cover 3

Remember, the result of this play was Baker not throwing to either split field primary and instead scrambling damn near into a sack.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

From this past Sunday.

21 personnel from empty vs PIT "base" defensive personnel

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This was a 38 yard catch and run.     

 

The above two plays are almost the exact same offensive personnel,  The exact same formation, going against the exact same base defensive personnel, going against the exact same Cover 3 call.     Take this information for what you will.

 

 My last post in this thread.  Baker is gone.  He did contribute to this team, and we should all be thankful for that.  However he was also a bit of an anchor on this, or any other team he's going to be on.   There is a trade-off any GM and coach is going to have with him.   It doesn't make him garbage by any stretch, but it does make him a bit limited and more towards the mean of NFL QB's as opposed to the apex.  

 Taking on Deshaun was a franchise altering risk, there's no getting around that truth either.  The only difference, is I've seen how defense coordinators have treated both Baker and Watson during their respective NFL careers.  And the mutual opponents I can find, speaking in terms of how their DC's game-plan and execute against them, tends to show that those minds thought a bit... higher, of Watson's abilities than they did of Bakers.     I'm 3 drives in on the Browns offense from this past Sunday and I see parts of the game plan that make sense, because there's ideas in there from the first win.  Big caveat being the presence of TJ Watt.  Yes, he's that much of a difference maker.  There's also what amounts to, I'll call it the "run way show" where we're seeing the Odd Couple try to work.  That couple being Watson and Stef.    

 I mentioned this before, but Stef is used to working the Keenums, Bakers, Cousins, etc etc.   And his offensive structure demands that a QB must facilitate as a point guard before he acts as a two guard.  Ultimately every QB should distribute like you're White Chocolate, which is the group of 3 I just listed.   But there comes times when you have to drive the lane and take points for yourself until defenses roll and account for you as well.    That's where you see players like Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and to a lesser extent the Herberts, Wilsons etc etc be special in the range of their arsenal. 

 I've also mentioned that the majority of Stefs philosophy begins from the zone stretch under center like any Shanny disciple.  And now you've brought in a QB who has primarily been a player operating from the gun in vertical zone and RPO bases from Clemson to Houston.   That's why I joke about the "odd couple".   You're going to have a full off-season of two styles, one a bit more aggressive and QB driven, attempting to mesh with a style that is more calculated and running game/play action driven.  Going back as far as Run DMC and Aerosmith combining to form a type of rap-rock, (I guess at my younger age, I'd be more apt to say like Linkin Park, RATM or Body Count) Something really great, that can be diverse, flexible and fun can come from this union. Provided Stef and Watson remember that, before anything else, they are students of the game first and foremost.    

 

 My greater attempt at this post was to rationalize things.   Watson, per my expectations, has looked incredibly shaky at times.  If your expectation was to believe he would come in at pro bowl form, then unfortunately that means only one of us is operating in the space of reality.  And I'm sorry to say, that likely means it isn't you.     Yes, Watson CAN read defenses.  Above is your proof.   I will say, Pittsburgh really treated this like their Superbowl.   They have showed defensive alignments and looks I haven't seen from them all year, and I do mean some really cool shit that had me looking at it twice.   So your young QB has to get back to the fundamental math, get up to speed, get into graduate work and become more familiar with his AFCN opponents tendencies.  Because that last part, as much as anything, tends to land you division wins.  

 Deshaun had some misses this past sunday, and the previous one's before that.   Some of them pretty bad.  He also had some nice flashes that remind us of 2019 and 2020 and the level he can play at in a QB driven offense.   His mental and physical speed was never going to be where we wanted it after 2 years off and a half dozen games in a new offense.    Which is why this off-season, like so many before it, will be crucial.      On the bright side, if Watson even goes back to 75% of what he was, combined with having Cooper, Njoku, DPJ, (god willing) Bell taking a step up and the running game provided by Chubb and (soon to be) Ford...  there is personnel that make me confident that we might have a diverse and top-tier offense that values efficiency into explosion.  

 

 But there will be some painful growth from now all the way through training camp.

 

 

 

 

Great write up sir. Hope you continue to do these kinds of breakdowns

Terrible officials aside. Not very confident if we bring Joe woods back. I’ll be really bummed. 
offense tried today but the O line got destroyed. A front 7 makes a difference. The Steelers have a good D. The browns do not. 

Refs are horrible and control the games. 

Watson ain’t the problem. It’s the fucking first half officiating that has kept the Steelers ahead. Fuck the refs

This game is over. Flags are gonna decide this game. So terrible 

Pitt is getting so many calls.

but that’s on the browns terrible defense. Glad we are keeping Joe woods

Penalties are killing us!!!! What the hell!!!! Cmon guys.
