  • Behind just the joke itself, there's something to be seen in this play that highlights the desperate need for a QB and elite WR, or some vertical threat. 

    - Thrash pushing vertical on the left side of your screen and beating the DB. 

    - Late rotation from the corner in zone replacement on the right side of your screen. 

    If you have a tall, aggressive QB who can see landmark throws vertically and towards the middle, this could have been a huge gain.

    I remember that play.  By the time he decided to throw it to the crosser, it was too late and he had to throw it away behind him.  Teller was in the process of losing his man up the middle so the ball had to come out.  

  • Watched parts of the game, my pregame prediction was Browns winning 24-13 with two td's from our defense. Correctly predicted Jets offense would score 13 but forgot how bad our special teams suck and would give up two TDs. I'm numb now and in fact when they jumped offsides on 4th down I laughed so loud my wife rushed into the family room to see what I found so funny. 

    To the game itself I actually thought the playcalling was better, Rees showed patience with the run game and there was a flow to it. I've been done with Gabriel from the last game, since we're in tank mode Shedeur should start so we can see what we have. Defense gets a failing grade, no reason to allow Breece Hall literally their only offensive weapon to score a 42 yd td and then handing them the game with the aforementioned offsides penalty. This team sucks worse than Hue Jackson's with multiple times more talent.

    Yep, you might have a different ringmaster…but he’s still stuck with the same clowns.

    Absolutely horrible on offense. Gabriel has no confidence, and in Butch Davis-speak, looks "skittish."

    The BYE didn't help us.

    There's only so much regrouping you can do on a bye week.

    tia... I rarely post here anymore, a certain individual severely upsets my psyche.  But I will take the time to comment on this absolute debacle of a game. A total team failure in every dimension. Special teams, offense, and defense. How can you lose to a Jets team that is deliberately trying to tank? The Browns succeeded.  

    I'll respect your opinion on Dillon Gabriel- but here's mine. I've seen enough to say HE SUCKS!!!  Career backup potential and Colt McCoy revisited. If we're going to tank- by God, put Sanders in. I can't hardly believe he could do much worse. But keep on trotting DG out there Kev- and you're going to be looking for another job- MHO. My wife grew up in Toledo and the Lions are her 1B team, also mine now.  Watched the entire Detroit game and comparing Goff (or any of the other top shelf NFL quarterbacks) to Gabriel is laughable.  Or should I 1\2 give him a pass because our offensive line laid a big turd on the field?

    Gabriel is creating many of those pressures on himself, the OLine is serviceable with decent (not great) QB play. 6 sacks to that Jets D line? Cmon. 

  • Soon enough the Shadeur Sanders Experience will begin, and I predict a spike in interest from Browns fans... and similar results as Gabriel.

    I agree, they will trot Sanders out there mostly because I believe he was Haslam’s pick.

    But the results will be the same.

  • Wait, Tommy Rees who has failed as a playcalling OC in college at multiple stops is also no good at playcalling when everything is more difficult? [Bad at ND, bad at Bama]

    Sort of a win, if you think about it.

    Don't mistake my words as an affirmation of Gabriel. I don't even see him as a long term backup. He has been playing THAT bad.   I compare him, favorably, to another small lefty - Kellen Moore.  

    As a pure football player, someone in your locker room, a hard worker, great teammate and a football mind,  you'd be pressed to find someone better.  

    But Gabriel's physical limitations are what effects his ability to play QB and those cannot be overcome.

    The issue is the belief that there are singular points of "blame" or failure. There are multiple points of inconsistency and bad play that have lead to systemic offensive failure. 

    - The QB play is awful 

    - The OL play isn't far behind it 

    - The receivers can't get into rhythm and we lack a structural dominant target or pure vertical threat. 

     It's the unholy triumvirant of offense and, barring talent infusion or facing a historically bad defense, there is no fix for it. 

    You encouraged me to do this as much as anyone. If you haven't seen my work in video form already, I've started the project.  My first ever was regarding Gabriel and this very same issue (height) before the season even started.

    A QB with greater physical stature sits there and delivers downfield as Thrash gets even with the DB.   You're going to take some contact within the pocket at the NFL, it's that simple.   

    Smaller QBs miss these throws from lacking vision and bracing early for hits (lowering your eyes into the rush)

    Right.  If you call a run, you need blocking...whether you're Stef of Rees.  If you call a pass, you need a minor miracle...whether you're Stef or Rees.  

    Very sad to statistically dominate the game, and lose.  This time the ST's lost the game for the Defense.  The D just cannot catch a break.

    Yeah, 14 points off of STs returns is gonna get you beat.  Here's a link below of a video of all the sacks the Browns gave up yesterday.  Keep in mind the Jets traded away their best Corner and best DL in exchange for 2 1st round picks in 2026 (and they only had 1 win to their name) so this shouldn't have been nearly as problematic.  Aside from the pressure and sacks, there were also times Gabriel couldn't see downfield so he either scrambled or threw the ball away.  He did throw 2 TD passes; but the rest of our schedule is better than the Jets are at this point - so it's not going to get any easier. 

    If he struggles next week, it's time to put the relief pitcher in the game - although it's not like Shedeur has been getting any reps with the 1st team all season.  Fernando Mendoza had a great comeback win with an awesome TD pass in the last minute erasing a 4 point deficit.  I'll say this, he really felt the absence of WR Elijah Sarratt in that matchup; but he got it done anyway.

    With our luck though, are there really any top picks or depth of talent in this draft that fits our needs?

    Reality is team to team playbooks are not really that different.  Personnel groupings and what you can do off of them are pretty standard. 

    As Tia deftly noted there are multiple issues

    - QB limitations/issues.  If one looks at the film more times than not there is an open guy

    - OL limitations/issues.  As a unit they are the bottom of the league.  The Ts are near the bottom of the league.

    - WR group does not have a true #1 to build around.  Also it lacks anyone to truly threaten vertically 

    With that tri-fecta of issues on offense there is no magic "playbook" solution.
