They can call the "Helpline"...
... the number is "BR-549"...
Very worthy of MNF.
Excepting Romeo's D-call on the next to last play. What was up with that?

Easy peasy. From the world of physics that would be referred to as Brownian Motion. ( Brownian motion or pedesis (from Ancient Greek: πήδησις /pέːdεːsis/ "leaping") is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid). So obviously it's fluid on the brain leftover from Cleveland days.??

Discipline... or lack there of starts at the top... What I saw last Sunday were a bunch of over hyped boys who have none (Discipline).. That starts with Freddie... Gregg Williams had some.... This looks ugly boys.. I like Freddie and all.. But if this shit show keeps up.. He'll be another casualty of ignorance..

That's where I'm at....full blown panic mode. Our team has been over hyped since last season. After watching that huge implosion yesterday, I can only speculate why this looks so bad. I didn't think we had excessive penalties in preseason. I put most of the blame on Freddie Kitchens. When a team of very good players looks like that, the HC is responsible. I really wanted Greg Williams to be retained as the new HC for this season. Freddie seems like a good guy, with a lot of potential, but to see the players respond this way...well, I have my doubts about him as a good head coach. I know it's only one game, but it was disgusting. Dorsey needs to find a quality LT and put together an o line. If not, Mayfield will never make it to the bye week.
sorry, I see that as wrong.Kitchens is the PERFECT coach to be Coach of the Browns. The players fought for a half, it was close - but game time is different - timing is different - and the Teets played like they were po'd at the attention and hype the Browns have been getting. and their defense
As far as "over-hyped"...sure...that is what the media does. But the changes to the Browns and their success the last third of last season does deserve some serious attention.
The Kardiac Kids, 1980, lost the first two games of their season. They ended up 11-6. Even week 12, they got hammered by the bungles.
The Browns lost their composure - the defense was being held like crazy, and the offense was being overrun. And don't anybody tell me there weren't non-calls and calls that benefitted the teets. The OPI on OBJ was a huge example. Their oline got away with a lot of crap that should have been called. Not so much on the Browns offensive line. I'm just sayin what I'm seein. Our LT Robinson got shoved down well after the play was over, NO CALL. The teet that shoved him seemed to be going after him again, and Robinson got po'd and put his foot up to his head to stop him, still on the ground, immediate call of UC and ejection of Robinson.
There are different examples the Browns suffer this crap. I believe some other teams see it, and bait the Browns, some of the Browns don't handle it well.
That will change.
Anyways...in 1980, the Browns went 11-6, but lost their first two games. And their first game they got hammered by the Patriots.
It's a long season. We'll see how it goes, but judging by the first game is just not valid. I'm concerned about the oline, but still, the Browns didn't have one of the best olines back then either. They will adapt.

Freddie has not done anything yet to show that he should not be a HC.
Would some of us have called a few plays differently? Well, that's true of any game of any team we've ever watched. He wasn't making glaringly bad play-calls. (of course, we have a sample set of one measly game)
Now, did some of our penalty problem stem from that first practice with the Colts? After which Freddie read the team the riot act about not letting anybody impose their will on you. All along Freddie has stressed that he wants the team to be tough. Perhaps now he has to stress the 'being smart' part of the equation.
He's a 1st year HC. I like his mind-set. Let's give him the chance to go to bed this week and reflect on the game and on things that he might do differently next time. In Other Words, let's give him some time to be a 1st year HC. (or at least until he starts calling for 60 yard FG's with Devon Hester waiting in the end zone like Pettine......or calling TO befitting the opponent like Hue)

??? some of you guys are more dramatic than soccer players. Panic mode? No wait FULL BLOWN PANIC MODE. Hahaha. Game 1. If you fell for that hype that's on you.
This wasn't just a loss. This was the first impression of the 2019 Cleveland Browns. You know...the new media darlings with all the talent in the world. The new coach, promoted from rb coach, skipping over several steps to become the new HC of the new, improved, playoffs bound Browns. The changing of the losing culture,..blah, blah, blah. We played better with much less talent last season. I don't blame the offense that much. Mayfield was bringing the team back until the 75 yard TD by the Titans. That was the final nail in the coffin. Where was the defense on that play? No where near the action...that's for sure. Buying into the hype of having a winning season for once? Yeah...I'm guilty. Damn I'm gullible!

If you care what the media says then you're absolutely right but the loss is on you. Who gives a shit what the media thinks. It's a loss. Browns fans should already know how to lose. Get over it. Week 2 coming. Nobody told you to set your expectations that high. Put a quarter in your ass... you played yourself.

...the stressed out Wall St. business man took off to learn the meaning of life. He heard of an all knowing soothsayer. He traveled to his native land and hired a guide to take him up the mountains and to his cave where he humbly dwelt. The guide was about to go in to listen but the soothsayer was escorting the man out stating, "You're never going to understand the meaning of life until you stop saying BULLSHIT to everything I say".

Yup, you're probably one of those fans. I suppose you remember the sign at the old stadium "Jump Art, and land on Bill". Couldn't hardly wait to run Billy out of town, seems he turned into possibly the GOAT of coaches.
It's way premature to label Freddie a bum, unless you have a functional crystal ball.

I'm not going to panic. 13-3 is still my prediction. The Titans are historically a team that gets under your skin and causes frustration. It was our first game, a very hyped and sold out game with very high expectations... in which we ended up playing right into the Titan's hands. We will be more poised and not so easily taken advantage of. The Oline situation went downhill very quickly, also helping the titans and compounding baker's protection. The next game should be a complete 180 degree turnaround- I would imagine an extended showing of their first scoring drive throughout the game. Hopeful that the ass whooping lights a fire under this team sooner rather than later. The giant is waking.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain- -
what I saw was a 5 win team.

Oh....so, tell me you expected the Titans to come in here and beat our asses? You are full of crap. It's not just the media. When the Browns are favored by 5.5 points, that tells me something. Bookies are usually right, with a few exceptions. The media is one thing, but there was nothing to indicate this team would be so undisciplined. Nothing positive from the 2nd half of last season carried over. They fell right back into the same crap we've seen for years. If you didn't see that in the 4th quarter against the Titans, you need to open your eyes. I do not want a coaching change for many years, so hopefully Kitchens will learn how to become a HC. We can't keep firing head coaches. We've already proven that does not work.
