Definitely not a time to be firing Stefanski. That would be stupid. It has been a rough year. Some play alls are bad and a lot of pre snap penalties but there has also been good play calls and dropped passes. A coach isn’t going to be perfect and there are times I think some expect him to be.

The penalties that drive me nuts are the pre snap penalties and that is definitely coachable but so far it hasn’t improved as the year has gone on.

We aren’t a team that can make a ton of mistakes and win. We will be adding more talent next year and in theory, the schedule should be easier unless we win out. LOL.

The team has had a lot of injuries.
This is Bakers 4th year. He is under contract for next year and we can franchise him after that if necessary. There is no reason to give up on him under these conditions.
Tough seasons happen. Don’t blow it all up and start over. The great teams don’t do that, they get through it and are better for it.

Great analysis. OBJ watched that and said “I bet you miss me now, Cleveland.”

No we don’t OBJ.

That was DPJ’s worst game for us. Before this game he was absolutely money every time the ball went in his direction. Also worth noting that Hollywood Higgins has fallen lower in the depth chart.

MDP you read my mind about Brees. In fact I’d say Mayfield’s play style is almost a carbon copy of Brees.

He is beat the fuck up. You don’t let go of a guy just because he is beat the fuck up unless he doesn’t have toughness.

Contract year for Mayfield.

Soup I don’t disagree with a lot of the stuff you just said. We all watched the game. We all agree we looked like shit on offense and special teams.

What I’m specifically asking you to source is your statement that they ignore drops, penalties, and kicking accuracy in practice. What if they actually have been focusing MORE on those things in…[Read more]

Source?
Lol were you sober when you wrote this? I’m not excusing their pathetic play but I’m trying to picture the special teams practice you’re describing where no one cares about missing kicks. Just the kicker out there in the middle of the field doing the can-can?

He was REALLY bad.

Remember Solomon Wilcotts? And his “wisdom of Solomon” segment? Cringe.

The defense isn’t that good and I do think Joe Woods needs fired. The 3rd down defense is one of the worst in the NFL. While they did a pretty good job on Sunday against Detroit by holding them to 10 points, there was a first time starter for the Lions and Joe Woods refused to blitz for much of the game or we might have been able to shut them…[Read more]

It a little late to sit him now. He should have been sitting the last 3 weeks in prep for being healthy in ratsville.

That is really only part of the problem though.

Lavar was awful and the lack of replays during the game was pathetic. Ive seen better announcers and replays watching HS football.

Wills pops into my head as a guy who has had a ton of penalties especially last year. We have had injuries on the line so maybe a little bit of the penalties come from that but I think most of them this year have been illegal shifts or the WR’s not covering the tackles. It’s stupid shit. I’ve also seen multiple times where Baker has to get a WR…[Read more]

I also think Chubb was not 100% this week. He was pulled at some pretty inopportune times to take an extended breather. DeEarnest Johnson had a great game as a 1 time starter, but he’s not a replacement for Chubb. Luckily it looks like we’re getting Hunt back this week.

None of us know all the details about what Mayfield is fighting through but…[Read more]

Zero chance of releasing him while injured in the middle of last season. Also he was not going to allow us to trade him because then he doesn’t control where he goes. He waited until after the trade deadline and demanded his release. That’s why the timing is what it is.

I’m glad both OBJ and the Browns kept this under wraps as much as they…[Read more]

I’m shocked.
