  • I’m not too bent outta shape about this one. I thought the team played tough down to the wire and simply lost to the better team. I’ll rewatch today and see if l notice anything noteworthy.

    And also no baker Mayfield having the vision to see a massive hole right in front of him with the end zone twelve yards away. 

    Our QB is rattled by the Oline getting its pants knocked off almost every play. You screenshot ONE damn play with a clean pocket

    there were times when he should have stayed in the pocket except he panicked and rolled out

    Yep, and that's VERY difficult to fix. You're not generally going to fix these things against the Patriots, Ravens, Seahawks, and the 85 Bears we have coming up on our schedule. Honestly, I wouldn't have cared if we lost 32-28 or something like that. But our anointed QB looks like he was a flash in the pan and I have no clue how they make it better. Baker literally won't throw the ball, even when he has people open.

    If it’s a sophomore slump, he’ll get better. If it’s the yips... 

  • Seeing Rams fans reaction was interesting.

    1. They thought they would roll us.

    The Tenn game was their barometer

    2. They were upset with McVeys calls? 

    Strange I didn’t see too many head scratchers. Maybe Kitchens made him look much better.

    3. They are frustrated with their Oline? 

    Go figure those guys too but Gurley isn’t the same back and I thought Goff had time.

  • Is Darren Fells still available ? 

    Need to get back to 2 and 3 TE sets at times, especially early. And please, can a brother get some more under center work?!? 

    Freddie panicked in his first big game -That simple.  His head was going a thousand miles an hour last night and before you know it, time has run out. Been there before and it's a whacky experience.  Explains the 4th down call, the lack of decent route design and the non challenge on PI.

    Tip of the cap to Wilks. Pretty great gameplan last night wasted on a miserable offensive plan that is further hamstrung by an Oline that struggles with pass pro.   

    And for those being critical of Myles for apparently not single-handedly winning the game...  I don't know what more you want?  Not only did he force the fumble which put us in position for a lead, he had several pressures that forced a few errant passes and freed up Vernon on a couple different occasions as well.  He certainly didn't play bad by any means and if you feel that way - well, you're wrong.  Especially against an offense that thrives off neutralizing pressure with boots, sprints, rolls and play action.     Spend more time around real football and shut off the Madden, is my best advice.   

    However this is a huge test for Landry and Odell. If they want to show the leadership they pride themselves to (claim to) have, this is where they will work with Baker and Freddie to help elevate the young QB and thus the offense as a whole.   But I fear the worst should we get a similar result against Baltimore.

    Dorsey tried emulating what he did in KC here.  Only problem is that Baker isn't Mahomes.

    on that one point, it's nonsense. Mahomes has arguably one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. and the best TE in football.

    The Browns' offensive line had a terrible time with pass protection. It isn't like the Browns were blown out 47-3.

       The one problem I think Kitchens has in playcalling, is running nearly always? on first down.  With a healthy secondary, the Browns would have won that game. Just adding Njoku and Hilliard might have made a huge difference.

      I was PROUD of the Browns. It's only game three. the squealers and bungles are 0-3. The Browns are nearly 2-1.

    and the Browns are on their way up the ladder. We'll see more next week. But all this handing off on first down ain't foolin

    nobody. I would love to see more of Ricky Seals-Jones at te. and for me, Pharoah Brown and Whitehead, db, make too many mistakes - on a regular basis when they play.

       both Ward and Greedy were out.

    Look at the injury report. Blaming Kitchens for the loss is baloney, and Bakers' confidence in oline protection isn't helped by Bitonio playing banged up, a new RT playing, a few times he rolled out too soon. He didn't do that when he had excellent protection before.

    STILL, the Browns nearly won that game. They played proud.

    Have we been watching the same games this year?

    I may be misunderstanding you. 

    Are you saying the only time we run the ball is on first down and never any other down or are you saying we always run on first down and never pass on first

    Here is some lunch meat.  Kitchens was not and is not head coach material, the draw play?  I believe he thought the play was ruled "off setting penalties" as the D Pass Int. was so obvious.  Not realizing this he did not challenge and went for a draw on what he thought was 3rd down.  The three Baker plays at the end were miserable, fear in his eyes, give it to Chubb twice, pass and Chubb a third time from the five.  

    Time to call Mike McCarthy.  He has experience and command.  This team has no discipline. And the owner needs to reign in the GM.  Trading an O line stud for a questionable defensive lineman is dumb.

  • Can't blame Kitchens, He has a guy in the booth who has the new madden set up in a simulation on what is going on in the real game and he simply as the guy "ask Madden" and then does whatever play it says

    Thanks?  I think.  

  • I will be honest with you.....except for that one play where he caused the fumble,   Garrett appear to be mostly a no show when it came to pressuring the QB tonight.   At least, that was my impression.   He seemed constantly out of breath because before nearly every play he was standing with his hands on his hips panting.   I am sure he was being double and triple teamed I guess which could diminish a guy's impact.....but then others had to step up, and except for 1 or 2 times it seemed that they never really did.

    Nevertheless the defense did not do badly tonight.   No, this was purely about scheme and play calling to me.....and the inability to carry those out...and the complete failure to adjust when you knew that was not happening.

    Maybe you didn't notice like I did- of at lest one time Witworth blatantly held Myles and got away wit it- and then a grabbing the facemask- another no call....

    You'll fit right in with a bunch of the other Negative Nancys we have on this Board. Kitchens is going nowhere at least for the rest of this year. Yeah- fire the bum after three games. 😁 Anybody but Freddie. McCarthy couldn't get along with Aaron Rodgers, in case you forgot. Dorsey built this team and he's 100% better doing it than anyone else since 1999.  BTW, John worked with McCarthy in Green Bay- pretty sure he has a good handle on him. If you think having Zeitler would have made  a lick of difference in the outcome of this game guess again. The o-line was getting beaten like a drum in multiple other areas.  

    We lost to a team that's favored to make a repeat trip to the Super Bowl by a touchdown, with 1\2 our defense banged up. Yup the sky is falling. Since you're new- we put sarcastic comments in PINK.  

  • @tour2ma said:

    One overriding criticism: Freddie... you have to challenge that PI non-call. It was a slam-dunk...

    • The play occurred with 10:11 to go in the 4th. It is rare that you would have need of 2 challenges in the next 8:11.
    • Yes, you only get the down back, but you'd have 3 downs to make 9 yards... instead of only 2.
    • Instead we turned the ball over on downs and you went home with two challenges in your pocket.

    Initial game thoughts...

    D first...

    • The D did us proud... three turnovers... two by a makeshift 2ndary.
    • Game ball to Joe for having a hand in two of them.... literally in the case of that last pick.
    • Game ball to Wilks for his game plan.
    • Sheldon... loved your false-start inducing shift near our Goalline.... but that was the only time I heard your name.

    O next...

    • We needed Baker under Center more.
    • We needed to mix in some designed roll outs.
    • We needed to go no-huddle earlier... set the pace.
    • Game ball to Chubb... for being great. His patient decisiveness and use of blockers reminds me of a young L. Bell...

    Maybe more tomorrow...

    1. Considering we had no starters in the secondary, I would agree completely that our D played especially well with one arm tied behind it's back. 

    2. It is painfully obvious that despite Ghoolie arguments to the contrary, we need a lot more quality in that OL. Players like Donald expose them badly.

    3. Chubb is a warrior. He's now on my all ironman team this year. And if Baker had not mistakenly called our WR in motion while on the line, he'd have scored that TD instead of getting it called back. I told my daughter's father in law he needs to bill Baker $40 because his FFL player Chubb would have won him the weekend had that play counted.

    4. I still cannot figure out why we constantly shift Garrett back and forth from RDE to LDE. What is the reasoning there?

    1. Yup...
    2. True-ish... but have to point out that Donald punked our best OL... an All-Pro OG. Donald is just that good. But... he did not do that all nite and he was not lined up over Bito all nite, so our fat-asses must have done the job on him more often than not.
    3. That induced OBJ motion was to me the most obvious evidence that our QBs head is muddled up. Whether it's off-field shit or too much playbook or whatever... a QB does not motion a WR... who he knows to be on the LOS.... to move and then not be sure he resets for at least a beat before having the ball snapped.
    4. tia touched on this, and he's right, but I'd also add that it keeps the O guessing where Myles will be and that can eliminate some of the doubles and chips he sees.... or at least who is doing them. You see the same thing with JJ in HOU...
  • Is Darren Fells still available ? 

    Need to get back to 2 and 3 TE sets at times, especially early. And please, can a brother get some more under center work?!? 

    Freddie panicked in his first big game -That simple.  His head was going a thousand miles an hour last night and before you know it, time has run out. Been there before and it's a whacky experience.  Explains the 4th down call, the lack of decent route design and the non challenge on PI.

    Tip of the cap to Wilks. Pretty great gameplan last night wasted on a miserable offensive plan that is further hamstrung by an Oline that struggles with pass pro.   

    And for those being critical of Myles for apparently not single-handedly winning the game...  I don't know what more you want?  Not only did he force the fumble which put us in position for a lead, he had several pressures that forced a few errant passes and freed up Vernon on a couple different occasions as well.  He certainly didn't play bad by any means and if you feel that way - well, you're wrong.  Especially against an offense that thrives off neutralizing pressure with boots, sprints, rolls and play action.     Spend more time around real football and shut off the Madden, is my best advice.   

    However this is a huge test for Landry and Odell. If they want to show the leadership they pride themselves to (claim to) have, this is where they will work with Baker and Freddie to help elevate the young QB and thus the offense as a whole.   But I fear the worst should we get a similar result against Baltimore.

    Dorsey tried emulating what he did in KC here.  Only problem is that Baker isn't Mahomes.

    7. Dorsey tried emulating what he did in KC here.  Only problem is that Baker isn't Mahomes.
    1. He's busy dropping passes for the Texans... seriously... he gator-armed one big time...
    2. Like the idea, but don't see the personnel to pull it off.
    3. Yup... his first time under the bright lights in the heat of the moment.... I have a two cliche' limit... he choked. But he knows it so I'm only concerned if he repeats it.
    4. Absolutely... FYI... the article below mentions how all the Rams' opponents, including us, are copying Bill's gameplan from last seasons' SB.
    5. Well put... sack total is not the measure of an Edge's contribution... it is a measure.
    6. Agree... and OBJ gave an All-Pro, Locker-room interview after the game.
    7. I assume you refer to going cheap on the OL... agree... and I think you'd agree that does not mean Baker can't still be a great QB in this League.

    and the Browns are on their way up the ladder. We'll see more next week. But all this handing off on first down ain't foolin

    Look at the injury report. Blaming Kitchens for the loss is baloney, and Bakers' confidence in oline protection isn't helped by Bitonio playing banged up, a new RT playing, a few times he rolled out too soon. He didn't do that when he had excellent protection before.

    STILL, the Browns nearly won that game. They played proud.

    Hey Cal, did you see who KC had playing LT in yesterday’s game?

    Some guy named Cam Erving! ?

    Dorsey tried emulating what he did in KC here.  Only problem is that Baker isn't Mahomes.

    on that one point, it's nonsense. Mahomes has arguably one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. and the best TE in football.

    The Browns' offensive line had a terrible time with pass protection. It isn't like the Browns were blown out 47-3.

       The one problem I think Kitchens has in playcalling, is running nearly always? on first down.  With a healthy secondary, the Browns would have won that game. Just adding Njoku and Hilliard might have made a huge difference.

      I was PROUD of the Browns. It's only game three. the squealers and bungles are 0-3. The Browns are nearly 2-1.

    and the Browns are on their way up the ladder. We'll see more next week. But all this handing off on first down ain't foolin

    You must be lost, homie.  The poli forum where you can spout bullshit is.....  ----- >  thataway.  

    I stopped reading after this line.       As a collective unit, the KC Oline is one of the worst in the NFL and the Chiefs success has largely been in spite of them.    And when KC finally did come across a secondary with the ability to matchup to their receivers, the Pats proceeded to hold them to one of the worst playoff halfs in team history because of their inability to hold up under coverage rush.   

    Mahomes brilliance and their abundance of skill players makes that team go.  Without Patrick? - then they're the Browns of last night.
