This one stung
-
I kept my thoughts more in my head because I wanted to manifest positivity, but I candidly wasn't super surprised with the outcome. The playoffs are notorious for putting teams flaws in a microscope, and the three under the Flacco era were:
1) Joe Flacco interceptions (and really, the turnovers in general)- I forgot the exact stat, but they said during the game they were the first team in some crazy amount of years to make the playoffs with the amount of turnovers had this season.
2) the defense playing markedly worse on the road than at home
3) a complete lack of a run game to balance the offense
Those three factors, in that order really, caused this game simply to not be close. Fortunately, there's some reason to believe #1 and #3 could vastly improve just with people the Browns are getting back (although not getting into the Watson debate). The 2nd bullet, though, is very befuddling and really needs to get addressed during the offseason. I like Schwartz a lot and I'm fine bringing him back, but it's crazy how polar opposite the team was.
Kudos to the Texans too- I'd be pretty surprised if Slowek doesn't get the nod for a HC vacancy in the coming days.

I wonder if the Bob Slowik that was the DC for the Browns in 1999 is the father of Houston's OC Bob Slowik.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

Yeah , I remember him being the author of the "UFO" Defense

He sure is, actually: https://www.houstontexans.com/team/coaches-roster/bobby-slowik
Not only did I (begrudgingly) think he called an excellent game, he has all the allure that teams are salivating over in terms of "coaching tree" as well. It seems like Bill B. is interested in the Atlanta job, but he'd make a great fit there with the weapons they have.

I hated the huge coverage cushions he had the corners using in that defense. It was like he forfeited their opportunity to compete.

I wonder if Bill is asking to draft his own players if a team were to hire him.
Let’s face it, Belichick isn’t exactly good at college player evaluation.

If I was looking for a head coach today, I'd probably not even bother to interview BB.
I think his time has past. I'm not saying he's horrible or Tom Brady is the only reason he's going into the HOF, I just don't see him at this point of his career being the HC I want to go into the future with. I'd roll the dice on someone much younger.

I loved the shifting on the Dline disguising the coverages and thats where it ended for me... As you said... The back end was always frustrating.. Although when Butch Davis took over... Earl Little was fun to watch at safety even though it was the twilight of his career...
