  • Can we trade Vernon for Zeitler ?

    Had to check the box score to see if Vernon played. He tried to chase Mariota down early, then never heard his name again. Was he dinged up? Invisible?

  • From the stadium. Refs 160, Browns 25.  You can't tell me the Titans were playing that error free. Many crappy calls, all against the Browns. They gifted the Titans one td was it 5 penalties in a row?

  • Christmas Day for Browns fans has finally arrived.

    ... and the turd with a bow tied around it under my TV made me yearn for a lump of coal...

    Major needs...

    • Discipline
    • Discipline
    • Discipline
    • Humility
    • Discipline
    • Time
    • Discipline

    This week will be a major test for Kitch

    And it's not just the penalties... it's also the assignments. Prime example was Kirksey biting on the play fake on Walker's first TD. He left his "zone" to support a run that was well contained... if it had been a run. Walker nicely filled the empty space he left behind.

    On an early sack by Wake... he had inside help from the RG... yet allowed himself to be beaten outside... simply can't happen.

    Screen D...

    More later... including "the good" I saw... which may mean it's a very short post.

  • Brand new coaching staff. Young QB. Very little time together on the playing field as a team. Hopefully it’s all just growing pains and things start meshing soon. If we’re.500 come end of October, it’s then playoff run time.  

  • Did you all really think it was just gonna be sunny and rainbows?

    Everybody from Kitchens to Baker to the O-Line was overthinking. Bad play calls, bad reads.. bad mistakes. Big learning experience.

  • It’s one game, if we would’ve won some would think we’re Super bowl bound.

    Let’s temper our expectations.

    You’re probably not wrong though. Tell me more.

    That's true. But shitty reffing aside, we should have put up a better showing than that.

    You mean we’re not?? .. lol

  • Random points here

    -The run game was never established and it could have been.

    -the titans were two dimensional on offense- play-action or Henry run which was ultimately used as set up the play-action.  The defense was not just undisciplined but I’ll-prepared.  The backers and safeties didn’t play well.  

    -Baker held onto the ball too long also felt like the routes were downfield too much.  Where were the quick hitters? 

    -G. Robinson should be suspended for his stupidity in week 2 as well.

    -Myles Garrett underwhelming given the personnel on him.

    -while shorter routes would have helped I was waiting for OBJ double move.  

    -TE position is weak spot

    -and we need a RT maybe a LT too

    -There was a hook/tackle/clip on at the point of attack on the Henry 75 yard pass.

    -D. Harris Phantom Hold

    - Baker in the grasp.

    - I have a couple more I think...

    Agree on all of this but not sure you can teach discipline or humility.  Always thought those character traits are intrinsic

  • A 48-14 win incoming

    Discipline sure can be taught. Just ask any Marine

  • Refs killed them today, but then the second half showed they didn’t have the gusto to stick with Tennessee

    There were some missed calls, yes JRB I admit it, but I think the stadium looks deceived a bit.  The Landry trip comes to mind, on the replay he simply stubbed his toe on the way out of bounds.  The calls weren't great but the play was terrible

    Look man, this will be my last post cause I dominated the game thread, but I don’t want to make it seem like I was after you personally.

    my point For several years now has been and continues to be the NFL has a serious referee problem, and they know it. As I noted, I guarantee we will get the “im sorry” email that they missed a blatant hold which directly led to a Titans TD. In a game like football, that matters so, so much. The team earned 10-11 calls today and were extremely undisciplined. But that shouldn’t, in any manner, negate an objectively miserable call which mattered so much in the flow of this game. 

    Again, this isn’t a “the refs are against the browns” thing. But this league has by far the worst reffing issue across major sports and it’s not even close. 

    That being said, they earned the L big time. All you can hope is this lights a bonfire under the asses of these dudes.

  • The refs were terrible. 18 -3 penalty ratio is a bit ridiculous. Every good play by the Browns was called back. Every time

  • @typicalbrowns50 said:

    9-7 here you come!

    Once again. Couldn’t get past manning or luck.

    The refs do suck. I’ve seen better service dogs.

    "Same old Browns".
