Watson against the Titans
-
Sigh...
We are never going to move on from Baker - either pro or con - on this board, are we?
-
The Titans have a good front 7. What the offense was able to do today, without the benefit of a running game was herculean.
Watson did a great job of avoiding sacks (except for that head-scratching backwards pass) and making positive yards. Good for him!
Umm...does anyone think that it's half-crazy to have Bryant taking handoffs for sneaks? I mean, I'm always afraid of him coughing up the football whenever he gets it.

Just saying ppl are still bringing baker up even 3 years removed just because he had a hot start in Tampa. Fans and everyone else are talking about it.
this game was a nice reminder, that when Watson is playing on his game. He does stuff baker couldn’t. Which is why they paid the money. Watson was doing Houdini stuff today. It was nice to see

Holy Lou Holtz's Balls, it's time to get over Baker and his 19-step drops.

I like baker for his enthusiasm and team leadership...he played hurt and gave it his all. The browns did him dirty so I wish him luck.
Im not saying he is more talented or better than DW.

Watson looked awesome today. That’s all I’m saying. Without the terrible Amari Cooper call, he has 3 tds and 400 yds

I understand sometimes the refs have a bang-bang play, or a fumble/yardage play where there's 11 guys in a pile. But the ref was standing four feet away with an unobstructed view.

This is the best game we've seen from Deshaun with the Browns. He made good reads, dropped dimes, and was able to scramble when needed. He looked poised and not rattled like against the Steelers.
Another reason why Watson was better today was Stefanski finally had a good game for play calling. Unlike last week, he called more shorter/intermediate throws. Then when the defense had to account for those, he took his deep shots to Cooper who was unguardable today. He mixed it up well.

Cooper who was unguardable today
One time the DB had to tackle him before the ball got there....otherwise he wasn't gonna be able to tackle him at all.
People talk about us parting ways with Cooper next year. Somehow, that can't be allowed to happen. He's exceptional. He's clutch. HE'S NEEDED.

Yep. There were at least 3-4 defensive pass interference or defensive holding calls on Cooper today - if you count those and the blind referee call, he accounted for well over 200 yards.

I've used up all of my reactions for today...so you get an honorary upvote!
As you say, he was unguardable! As a matter of fact, on one play both defenders said, 'Fuck you, I ain't guarding him'....so he scored a TD.

Here's my guess on what happened...
The ref was almost TOO close to Cooper, and was watching him catch the ball (and make sure he had full control) and with his peripheral view thought he saw him step out.
That's all I can figure. No one intently studying his feet would ever think he stepped out.
I can also tell you, refereeing/umpiring is not as easy as slow-motion replays and strike zone graphs on your TV make it to be. I remember umpiring Little League baseball, and when calling strikes and balls I felt like I was almost guessing at low pitches. In and out and up I felt very confident about, but the pitch around the knees? Not so much.

I'm not with you on this one Dutch.
The refs are trained to let the play go if they don't see something happen because you can then review it later and overturn it. In this case, if the ref didn't definitively see Cooper step out of bounds, then the play continues and it can be reviewed later. By calling Cooper out of bounds and blowing the play dead, it meant we were 100% screwed out of a TD. Terrible on the ref either way and there is no excuse for it.

Oh trust me, I'm not defending the call, just trying to wrap my head around how it happened...
What I laid out is the only thing I can come up with on how such a bad ball occurred. They also train refs not to see things that didn't happen, but apparently he missed that training day... ?

I hear you on that. I'm just glad it didn't effect the outcome of the game.....because the Browns were so dominant! Don't get to say that often.
