Joe Thomas and Joel Bitonio lined up on your left. JJ Watt lined up over Mitchell Schwartz to your right.

Which way do you run?

Running at Watt was not the issue.

Running around him? Different story...

Stopping the run was the problem

Yep, one of many unfortunately.

They didn't run the ball enough. Stick with the run! Hoyer threw 50 times. Some game plan.

Amen

Browns149

so this has been the Browns problem since 1999

They can't run on offense

They can't stop the run on defense

Being down a couple TDs in Q4 tends to lead to passing...

We almost gave up 100 yds rushing to Blue in the first half, and it didn't get better after that.

And that leads to the other team running, and we couldn't stop them from running

I swear we must have run like 7 sweeps to the right. Idiotic.

Shanny got away from the run game before it was a multiple possession game. For example, it was 14-7 and Crow went 11yds on 2 carries and Shanny then called 3 passes in a row, including the flea-flicker.

It's been my biggest -and really only criticism of Shanny this year, as he has done this multiple times.
