flyingfooldoug Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Brand new coaching staff. Young QB. Very little time together on the playing field as a team. Hopefully it’s all just growing pains and things start meshing soon. If we’re.500 come end of October, it’s then playoff run time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Did you all really think it was just gonna be sunny and rainbows? Everybody from Kitchens to Baker to the O-Line was overthinking. Bad play calls, bad reads.. bad mistakes. Big learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many crappy calls, all against the Browns. They gifted the Titans one td was it 5 penalties in a row? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SdBacker80 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Random points here -The run game was never established and it could have been. -the titans were two dimensional on offense- play-action or Henry run which was ultimately used as set up the play-action. The defense was not just undisciplined but I’ll-prepared. The backers and safeties didn’t play well. -Baker held onto the ball too long also felt like the routes were downfield too much. Where were the quick hitters? -G. Robinson should be suspended for his stupidity in week 2 as well. -Myles Garrett underwhelming given the personnel on him. -while shorter routes would have helped I was waiting for OBJ double move. -TE position is weak spot -and we need a RT maybe a LT too -There was a hook/tackle/clip on at the point of attack on the Henry 75 yard pass. -D. Harris Phantom Hold - Baker in the grasp. - I have a couple more I think... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I noted, I guarantee we will get the “im sorry” email that they missed a blatant hold which directly led to a Titans TD. In a game like football, that matters so, so much. The team earned 10-11 calls today and were extremely undisciplined. But that shouldn’t, in any manner, negate an objectively miserable call which mattered so much in the flow of this game. Again, this isn’t a “the refs are against the browns” thing. But this league has by far the worst reffing issue across major sports and it’s not even close. That being said, they earned the L big time. All you can hope is this lights a bonfire under the asses of these dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'm trying to find some kind of silver lining, perhaps this is exactly what the Browns need for them to realize that they haven't done shit yet. For the long term, perhaps an ass-kicking like this wakes them up. Because for all the talk about how Baker "uses slights to motivate himself" that is EXACTLY what the Titans did. Nobody was talking about the Titans, and they came motivated and focused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

They have a nice defense and a functional attack (if Mariota is healthy and have had 3 straight winning seasons and failed last year's playoffs by a loss against the Colts on the season finale... I was expecting a win, but the +5.5 odds (in the Pick'em) was a bit full of hype. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will piss off NFL players like a team who hasn't done anything getting a ton of attention. The Browns aren't sneaking up on anyone this season, and I'll tell you this, if the Browns lose against the Jets next Monday night, this season could unravel fast.

There’s a lot of sport writers that have the Browns taking the AFC North this year BEFORE this game was ever played. That’s a mighty big assumption for a team that hasn’t done squat, albeit the Browns look good on paper. Unfortunately, looking good on paper doesn’t equate to wins. Let’s just hope today’s shit show can be attributed to lack of chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
