  • It's hard being a rookie in this league. Especially when you are on a bad team.

    But Browns fans can take heart in the fact that he leads all of the rookies in the major percentages: completion %, Td %, Int%, Yards / att, and QB Rating ... Despite being the only one that has already lost a head coach and an offensive coordinator, has played most of the season without the guys that were going to be his #1 and #3 WR, and (I don't think I have to look this up) has been the only one playing with rookies at both  RB and X WR and a rookie undrafted free agent at LT.

    I thought Kitchens called a good gameplan, keep playing him (obviously) and let him get better. He's learning every week. He's got the arm, the head, and the feet for the job, and now he's got a coaching staff that is more concerned with protecting him and getting him better than saving their jobs.

    Pretty sure those are not mutually exclusive... and haven't been since Week 3.

  • Rookie of the Week ... again.

    Three for Bake

    Two for Ward

    One for Chubb

    What is Calloway waiting for?

    Remember that sappy moment after the ravens win when hue told Baker "u dont flinch man".....well, he's flinching. Bad. 

    we've seen this show before. So if this is our franchise guy, we cant put him out there for much longer. This is boolshit. Dude is now seeing 320lb DL cut loose on him even after correctly calling the protection. He's missing easy throws u cant miss in the NFL. I saw him flinch mid throw, not pump fake...FLINCH. He's 2nd guessing throws in mid motion. This can only end in disaster. As it has everytime for the past 20 years

    I was saying the same thing on a Browns fb page and everybody was arguing with me. I have to ignore most of them as they all seem like younger snowflakes. This page is by far the best Browns page there is and most really know the game and know it well and know our history. I get way to strung out on substance and Beer during games to make much sense on here on Sundays but I am still a loyal fan and I am looking forward to the Sat night game in Denver in a few weeks. GO BROWNS!

    Calloway is going to have a decent game this week, over 100 yards and a score. I look for us going to him early on for a long pass.

    You could be right. Initially, I thought the game was in Atlanta, and I was really excited to see us play in a dome. I envisioned Callaway really tearing it up on turf, and I wanted to see Baker play without elements. However, it's in Cleveland, and I don't THINK we're going to see the truly awful weather yet. 

    It was so important for Baker and Callaway to finally connect on that deep throw. If I'm being picky, I want to see those plays go all the way. Our offense is SEVERELY lacking in explosive plays, whereas all the highlights I watch from other games perpetually show long TD catches. When was the last time WE had one? The amazing, incredible, WTF just happened Tyrod bomb to Callaway? It's time for MORE. Baker has missed Callaway deep a handful of times, so it was great to see them connect. 

    It's further important because Callaway is about all we got as a deep threat since the loss of he who will not be named. He needs to stretch the field and help open the middle up for Landry, Higgins, Njoku. Heck, and Devalve too. Why isn't he doing more? I definitely want a lot more from the TEs, and this game is as good as any other one.

    Skill? Focus? A #1 WR?

    Something is not yet there...

    Hahaha being a Browns fan will do it to ya

  • Since Hue was cut, we've had 4 penalties total.  Addition by subtraction..

    Speaking of the topic of this thread, Mayfield just put down the single highest rated game by a Browns QB since they started calling it the NFL.

    Let's shut down the notion of shutting him down.

  • .... amazing what good - and especially bad, coaching can do. 

  • Where you at cleve? At least come own this my man.

  • I tell you what, Baker missed a few throws and had some passes that weren't his style last week, but boy was he dialed in today. He was throwing with confidence and authority. That ball was HUMMING. 

    His best pass of the day? The one from his own end zone where he found Callaway on the comebacker....as his 3rd read. Yo. 

  • yeah his ptsd is over in a big way. Unbeleivable change in one week.

    Amazing when a HC, an OC and a QB have enough faith in each other's skills to stay on the same page.

  • So glad Hue and Haley are gone. 

    Kinda telling when a brand new oc is calling way better games than either of them did

    I realize it's just two games with the new staff, but Baker Mayfield is like 47-62 for 550 yards and 5 tds with 1 pick. While we didn't get any favors playing the Chiefs, we DID get a favor in playing their defense. Likewise with Atlanta. It was a nice way to start the new interim regime, and I am thankful we didn't start out playing the Ravens or some other physical butt team. 

    Perhaps the best thing about the victory is we appear healthy AND we're getting the bye week to get even more stout. It wouldn't surprise me to see Terence Mitchell back after the bye, too. 

    Hats off to receivers for catching everything today, the OL for blocking well, and even special teams for coming through. Greg Robinson had a couple SNAFU's at LT, including a dangerous sack-fumble, and an obvious hold, but all in all, the guy played well AGAIN.
