Like it or not, this franchise has a huge decision to make regarding Baker and the sooner we make it the better it is for us. IMO worst case scenario is that we let him go and he turns into a HOFer like Drew Brees. 2nd worst case scenario is we waste money signing him long term and he turns into hot garbage.

If Baker wasn’t young and “invincible “ he’d shut it down and get the surgery this week. Winning these last 2 games does nothing but hurt draft position. It has zero effect on next year. My only hope next year is first game is against NFC team so our 0-1 start won’t hurt as bad. It’ll be last year of Stefanski and his horrible attempt at OC. Hope…[Read more]

IMO this is pure player evaluation time. Teams have to use this time to start making decisions for next season, and players have to use this time to convince the NFL they deserve a spot. Play anyone who is able to play especially Baker.

Because of the cap and 5th year option. There’s absolutely no reason to extend him. Bills made a huge mistake. Baltimore still hasn’t signed Lamar to an extension either.

His injuries have completely effected him, but what’s effected him more is Stefanski not trusting his staff and still having no clue how to coach.

We handed the ball off 23 ti…[Read more]

It sure hasn’t been good lately. I understand why you’re ready to move on, especially with guys like Burrow lighting it up for 525 yards. I’m not ready to move on yet, and I think the reason is what we suffered with the last 20 years. There were so many days where we’d get 175 yards passing and consider that a really good outing. I’m sick of…[Read more]

Was Seneca Wallace unavailable? Ken Dorsey?

I feel like this could be Tree’s heroic moment; we’re down so many players and he’s in the stands and all these hot women say “you should be down there with them. You look like an amazing football player!” And a coach overhears the hot women, takes one look at Tree, and has security escort him to the…[Read more]

The worst part of this is Baker out. When Stefanski tested I thought “yes, now AVP can show he’s better than Stefanski for the 2nd time and maybe they’ll finally give him the job.” Then Baker got hurt. Defense needs some key takeaways and our kicker hopefully learned how to kick. We will need one of those 40 rush attempt games eating the clock a…[Read more]

“because fuck the Browns” they said under their breath.

This is ridiculous.

I recall being required to sit for 10 days after a positive test. Is that a thing? Maybe that was just in my fantasy football league.

I see.

Up by 3 scores at the start of the 2nd half; I’d want the offense to play ‘more conservatively’. Ball control. Clock control. More running plays, and short ‘safe’ passing plays. It should still generate points even if they’re FG’s, and we need to find out why they didn’t.

Sorry, my reference is too conservative in half 2. All the shots were taken in half 1. He flipped plans to prevent offense and prevent defense.

I totally disagree with that! He had quite a few deep throws, including two that got PI penalties IIRC.

The routes appeared to all be really short conservative routes. I think that’s his issue.

Just from the eyeball test it APPEARED to me that we blitzed more often yesterday than in the first game, especially after Lamar exited the game. Maybe someone can check the stats on that.

Soup I’m surprised you’re taking Baker’s side on this. When he complains about conservative playcalling in the 2nd half he’s complaining that we ran the ball…[Read more]

We also dropped 6 passes last time. Maybe 0 punts will equal 0 drops! My prediction for play 1:

Chubb and Hunt will be on the field. Play action. Perfect throw. Drop. Boos will reign down

2021 Browns: 17 catches 34 targets 50% catch rate.

2021 Rams: 9 catches on 18 targets. 50% catch rate.

I see a lot changed.
