He hasn't demonstrated the accuracy that he supposedly has. Jake Burns noticed that it usually happens when there is a congested pocket and Baker has to step up and throw "over the top". In addition to that my gut feeling is that whenever Baker feels the pressure he thinks he has to get the ball out not only faster but with more juice on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DE's were staying with Baker and really charged him. We actually did ok in the second half, more than people think. The two Jarvis drops were essentially turnovers. Man, I can't get over the kickoff return for a TD. We had so many problems covering kicks a few weeks ago and I figured we had it sorted. I mean, only the Browns could make the biggest play of the game and give up a kickoff return! Lmao. But you know what? It didn't break us. Baker's two picks didn't break us, and neither did the two Jarvis drops. We're tough, and it shows. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the best things, and it tells you that we have at least a decent team. The 1-15 and 0-16 years we lost games because EVERYTHING had to go our way to win a game. This team can win games having some setbacks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you do not give quarter to opposing rivals fans. Just once try not being a Quisling. My wife could not understand how I could possibly be so happy when A&M first defeats #4 Florida and then Texas loses to OU in 4 overtimes. She thought it cruel I would want Texas to have their hearts broken when our best friend whose brother is barely surviving COVID in ICU is a big Texas supporter and UT grad. All I could say is that when it's in-bred to want an old rival to lose no matter what, there is just nothing you can do but continue tradition. I still have no idea why that disgusted her.🤔 But then she is Cornell. She wouldn't get it unless maybe it was Havaad losing to Yale or some such nonsense. LOL!🙄 I had to come back later and add on that whenever Texas wins and A&M loses, our poor son gets flack from all his non-grad Texas fans this close to Asstin and that it made me happy he could give them shit now too.😂 PS-I held back on my ace in the hole however. I could have added that I had to go from 1956 to 1967 watching Texas beat us every year in between and that I was owed back for a decade of enduring gloating from my non-grad Texas asshole loving cousins. I'm sure she would have loved me for that one.😘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm glad Baker will be ready, but I don't think half of our defense will be playing. Teller also has a calf strain, and those typically don't heal quickly. I know when I did mine, they took several weeks, and if I came back too early, it would strain again. Ronnie Harrison has a concussion, so he's out next week (probably). Philips went down with another knee injury, so he's probably out. Ogunjobi MIGHT play, but he and Sheldon are banged up. Vernon played decently yesterday but he also left with a groin injury, and I'd be shocked if he played. Those are just the ones I can think of, and I'm probably missing somebody. We're in very bad shape right now and we've got the damn Steelers next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they bailed us out cause they knew they messed up not granting forward progress and play dead. He was not moving for nearly 2 seconds from the time of being "on the ground" to the "fumble". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in very bad shape right now and we've got the damn Steelers next week. The Steelers have become a horizontal team with Ben back. He’s bubble screening and the Steelers are YACing teams to death. They are trying to trick teams rather than lineup and go conventional calls. Watching the Eagles/Steelers I thought they set up the aggressive eagles beautifully and their play caller had a great game. The Steelers will be very mindful taking shots down field with Myles Garrett on an island with a guy he dominates Andrew V. If Ogunjobi can’t go it’s not great of course but also not the end of the world with this matchup. Teller NEEDS to be back. We can run on the Steelers as lately something looks off this season with their Defense. If the Steeler D tackles like they did against the Eagles we have 35-40 spot on the Board waiting for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his history of batted passes by the DL it'd be natural for him to elevate the ball some. Problem comes that when you combine this tendency with his fastball deliveries you end up with high throws. I've more than one lingering concern about Baker's ceiling, but it is his lack of accurate touch that concerns me the most. Give him a throwing lane thru the lines to a target that is covered to either side (or both sides) and a completion is almost guaranteed. Clog the lanes or have coverage under the target and not so much. We saw this Sunday in an overthrown touch pass (intended for Bryant IIRC) and a flat, deep ball that was INT'd by an under LB late in the game. (His early LB INT was simply a matter of not seeing the under IMO as it was a much shorter pass.) Completing passes with touch simply takes more anticipation than Baker has shown to date. He seems football smart enough to develop here, but until he does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Note that Harrison did get the start - for Joseph rather than the somehow-still-in-the-NFL Sendejo - but he got a Q2 concussion. Enter Redwine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambdo Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Great win against a quality team.

I agree the steelers got one early. The officiating beyond that point was just down right bad and several times fucked the steelers. The Steelers getting favorable calls is only a opposing fan base viewpoint. The refs are just bad across the board for everyone. Ben also has zero issue throwing down field, but the eagle d-line is legit.

jiggins7919 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I can't stop thinking about how we're winning despite not playing complete football games. I mean, we're playing good football, don't get me wrong, but in years past something like that kickoff return would have just sank us. Or Baker's 2 picks? Yeah, game over for sure. And at the end? I can't hardly remember a time when we ran out the effing clock! How great was THAT shit? Our defense gassed, Kareem Hunt cramping, the script written, Browns fans everywhere thinking they've seen this film before....BUT NO! "Paging D'Ernest Johnson, D'Ernest Johnson, would you please come to the 30 yard line? Your team needs you to win the game." That lead against Dallas? Yeah, that would have been toast. The OBJ reverse nothing but a warm thought on a dreary Monday morning as we looked back at the missed opportunities. How about the Bengals game? After getting stuffed on 4th down at the goal line, we NEVER would've gotten that strip sack and then punched it in. They would have driven down the field and taken the lead. Sure as shit. How about the Washington game? We lose the lead in the 3rd quarter against a subpar team. Years past, we fold. But not now. Baker hits OBJ over the middle on a gigantic 3rd and 12 and we roll on. Remember a couple of years ago at Oakland when Chubb got the 1st down but the refs took it away from us? We were still up 8 but guess what happened? You know what happened. Oakland drives down the field in about 45 seconds and scores a touchdown and obviously gets the 2 point conversion (I do believe in our history we've NEVER stopped a 2 point conversion. Wtf?) My point is that we're finally winning games and making plays when they matter. We're overcoming injuries, big negative plays, and we're staying away from penalties. Our QB was 2-8 for 19 yards and 2 picks in the 2nd half against a 3-1 team and we won by 9 points. Regardless of what happens this week, we're a solid team that is starting to believe. Eat it up Browns fans, you've waited long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payton wasn't throwing as many interceptions a game as Rivers has thrown the past 2 plus years. Get him off his spot like Garrett was doing to him and sooner or later he tosses one up for grabs or misses the defender being too close. His game has really deteriorated and he should have retired last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypicalBrowns50 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 The Steelers have played some straight up NASTY defenses so far. 🤪 browns have a better offense than Pitt pitt has a better D than the browns. match made in heaven. I will say this, turnovers win on Sunday. The browns happen to be leading the league in turnovers and total offense, FWIW. the colts have a top 5 D, all we heard all last week was how good the D was. Then what happened? it’s too bad the browns sucked for so long. Boomer said it best “the NFL is better when the browns are relevant” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggins7919 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Btw, you guys probably noticed, but we had a brilliant red zone play that should have scored but we ended up with a FG I think. Remember our first drive when we handed off to our FB and he went the other direction? There was a HUGE hole there and he tripped on our lineman's foot. He literally tripped on his own guy or he barrels into the end zone. It was a gorgeous play design too! I'm telling you, I adore this coach. I know he was burning up over that play because we set that up for WEEKS. Oh well...can't have them all. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
