Tale of the Tape - Browns vs Dolphins
-
I have some serious doubts that Stefanski makes it to 2026.
They might be putting on a brave face in Berea about knowing they are rebuilding the team, but cracks are already starting to show between Stefanski and Berry. I just can't see the team losing 12+ games again and not becoming a toxic environment where "unnamed sources" are telling the world that the locker room is fed up and/or gave up.
If they lose to this even worse, even more fractured Dolphins team Sunday fans are going to be LOUDLY angry at the stadium.
If they lose.....Sunday fans are going to be LOUDLY angry at the stadium.
...so now it's the stadium's fault!
One never knows what Jimmuh will do. Stef could get a pass because he's basically screwed on offensive personnel. Or he could be fired this Monday, or bye week Monday. Making Schwartz HC and Reese calling plays. Trigguh Finguh Jimmuh ??

OT:
I might be talking out my ass and it’s late but Ohio State has better WRs, LBs, OTs, QB

Are they though? What surprised me most this off season is that they didn't in my view.
When you make the decision to write off your three 1st rounder and change investment, you have to tear off the band-aid. I am on record stating as much at the time of the trade. That means moving as many players you can get value out of.Instead, they kept all the pieces and went for some half-assed soft landing. Sure, it didn't help that Myles asked for a trade, but they also kept Ward, and I am sure there are other players at the end of or past their prime they could have gotten value out of. Now we are watching a team that we already knew at the start of the season was not going to contend for the post season. All the while, the remaining value of potential trade pieces is diminishing. That doesn't bode well for the seasons to come.

It’s a pretty thin map this week. That’s how it goes when a couple 1-5 teams square off. Only so many people wanna watch that crap. Heck, even Hawaii isn’t tuning in. I thought they might have some interest in the battle of Hawaiian QBs, but apparently not.

Most of Ohio gets the game, save for us SOhioans and my forsaken homies in Van Wert. There’s a thin strip of NW WV that gets the game as well. NWWV sounds like a hip hop group. Straight outta Appalachia!
And about half of FL gets the game, mostly the southern parts, although more of the Atlantic coast gets it than the Gulf coast. It appears Lake Okeechobee gets the game. It’s the 8th largest freshwater lake in the 50 states by square miles but is very shallow having an average depth of just under 9 feet.

Yeah, I think what you are alluding to is probably more accurate... not so much a "rebuild" but a "retool".
Or at least that is what they are telling themselves. Not a "tear down to the foundation" rebuild, but a half-assed "let's retool on the fly" situation, I guess. On one point, I think the front office is building towards Brookpark - but if that's true, why didn't they trade Myles, Ward, etc last off-season?

The team that loses this game WILL fire their coach

IMO, the thinking at the time was, "THIS is the missing piece to the championship title chases". It was a win now atmosphere.
