CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Youth and chemistry. We have youth, we don’t have chemistry. It will take some time. New players in a new scheme together. It ain’t that simple. Lets not all blame Kitchens now 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have to say that what infuriated me the most was Baker holding the ball too long. Some of the sacks were well beyond 3-4 seconds after the snap. I don't know if had to do with the playcalls and the routes being too long (thats a Hueish mistake) or him playing the hero. I also noticed how he almost exclusively played under center when we ran the ball, and even in some empty backfield formations from the shotgun. I said it before the game and I still think the same. The more we balance our offense between rushes and passes, the more we will succeed, as we got weapons for both those playing styles and no defense can cover them both simultaneously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Sticking to the "refs not calling as much penalties on the Titans" is like trying to fight for your 5% of reason in a discussion. The blame is on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dste Ace Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Two points: 1. TN was much more physical than we were. 2. After Williams took over as HC last year, the stupid penalties decreased dramatically. Not saying that we shouldn't have hired Kitchens---not saying after one game that Kitchens must be fired---just stating a simple fact: under Williams on-field discipline improved and the stupid, constant shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-defense-can't-get-off-the-fucking-field-on-third-down moronic penalties largely went away. Freddie has to get a handle on this---fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 6 minutes ago, flyingfooldoug said: I wonder if it’s his real name? Stage name? Fits the subject for sure Daniel Gregory Amen (born 1954)[1] is an American celebrity doctor[1] who practices as a psychiatrist[2] and brain disorder specialist[3] as director of the Amen Clinics.[4] He is a five-times New York Times best-selling author as of 2012.[5] Amen has built a profitable business around the use of SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) imaging for purported diagnostic purposes.[6] His marketing of SPECT scans and much of what he says about the brain and health in his books, media appearances, and marketing of his clinics has been condemned by scientists and doctors as lacking scientific validity and as being unethical, especially since the way SPECT is used in his clinics exposes people to harmful radiation with no clear benefit.[7][8][9][10] Amen has studied brain injuries affecting professional athletes,[3] and has consulted on post-concussion issues for the National Football League.[11] Amen has produced television programs about his theories. One of them, "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," was aired by PBS affiliates 1,300 times in 2008 during fund-raising drives.[8] Another, "Magnificent Mind at Any Age with Dr. Daniel Amen," was aired before January 1, 2009.[21] Neurologist Michael Greicius, director of the Stanford Center for Memory Disorders and principal investigator of the Functional Imaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders Laboratory at Stanford stated, "The PBS airing of Amen's program provides a stamp of scientific validity to work which has no scientific validity."[8][36] These programs have been described as infomercials for Amen's clinics. The program's depiction of the "wonders of ginkgo and other 'natural' products such as St. John's wort." was also criticized.[8][21] Alternative-medicine skeptic and physician Harriet A. Hall and neurologist Robert A. Burton criticized PBS for the airing of these programs.[8][23] Michael Getler, the PBS ombudsman, replied that "PBS had nothing to do with the 'Brain' program's content and did not vet the program in any way." Local PBS affiliates "make their own editorial decisions based on their own guidelines about what to air," he wrote.[23][37] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaBrown Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just signed up to this forum. Nice to have a place to vent .. lol .. I think that Sunday's debacle was a direct reflection of none of the 1st teamers getting ANY useful play time during the preseason. I know that they have to prevent injuries, etc, but that was the most ill-prepared team I think I've ever seen. They certainly looked like they hadn't played football in about 8 months. It showed, really, throughout the league, this past weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought, especially in more recent years or maybe decades, that it can be risky when a young twenty something signs a contract with a signing bonus so "generous" that he can retire in style before he ever gets smacked in the mouth in a real NFL game. And now that someone is pimping for HULU, not even NETFLIX, whoa. Well we will find out more about his resolve to lead this team on the next MNF.

I just believe their game plan fell apart because they thought their oline could handle the defense they faced. Nope. Good that I benched him - he only was worth 2 freaking points. Probably the only time that will happen all season. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 So I'm watching the every play highlights and this is what I'll say on the theme of a good lot of Bakers throws. There is a VERY fine line between Big Time Throws, and Turnover Worthy Throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
