This game was "fixed"! How do the refs throw two flags and then pick them up? and then Miami WR fumbles and no one signals anything immediately, and all of sudden the back judge comes running in 20 yards up the field to play and calls it an incomplete pass!! Why no replay? And then the coach wins the toss and elects to kick, really?? Browns should have won and didn't and something smells "funny" here! Moving in on the #1 pick, in which they have no idea how to draft, so it's useless to this team.

the side judge actually threw his bean bag for a fumble but the other ref came running in to call it incomplete

Kessler played good for his first start. Now teams have film on him and will adjust. Still he played much better than I expected him to. Outside of that it's hard to take much away from this game. We still lost to a garbage 0-2 team

We need a kicker that can make 40 yard field goals in sunny Miami weather.

Kicking on the overtime flip made no difference to the outcome since our defense got the stop

so true

Blame FG's, but no TD's, are -4's..that sometime lead to -3 too..Got to get more aggressive in Red Zone..Gordo will help..At times we still settle for FG's attempts..1 more TD down in red zone today.we win Really like the fight today this team had

True we got the stop, but the end result of kicking saw them having 2 offensive possessions and us only 1....... analytics says no bueno.

I think it was a dumb call but not the reason we lost regardless.

We lost solely because we couldn't make field goals. Can't miss 3 FGs inside the 50

Defense may have had the stop, but the Browns did have to start their drive on their own 9. I think that makes a difference.

Not the reason we lost by any means, but I still don't agree with the decision.

I do not think that word means what you think it means

[Browns_Fucking_Rule]

Inability to commit to the running game is what I think hurts the most. How is that you can get 8 yards on 1st down and then get all pass happy?

Oh, definitely agree on that, no doubt...... Just hope Hue looks back at his kick decision and does some soul searching.

@browns149 said:

I agree with all this. Especially the part about the ST's. How has Tabor lasted through all these different coaches?

They look like they get penalized on almost every single return every single year. Our place kicking continues to lose close games every time inclusive of occasions they had the game winning kick opportunity like today and Ratbird game 2 in 2015.

Ha!

Possibly, not really sure anyone knows what it means..... I thought you were talking about bueno, and being from SoCal, I'm familiar with a little Mexican vernacular.

you are exactly correct. dolphins stink. they are going nowhere. this game,..just another way this team continues to lose. If it is not a blocked field goal returned for a td, its 3 missed fg's...the ol still has discipline issues as it's had forever, special teams ...yikes ..paztor completely turned the momentum around with his poor play. I guess there were no real kickers out there to be had..Oh well...that's the way it goes, it is what it is...

Yep, they flipped field position on us, and our youth showed itself at a bad time.

Haha nope.

I was being facetious anyway. I think common sense would also say it's no bueno. We have a kicker who's missed twice and an offense that's been pretty decent, why give them the ball?

Analytics...... Don't take a 6'5" 247 lbs Qb with the 2nd pick in the draft
