    Not only that but OBJ hasn't done jack shit for this team.. I would trade him now If I could.. He's a useless POS!

    I have my doubts, but there are rumors that the Browns are shopping OBJ

    I remember when they grabbed him from the lowly G-men and people were talking about him as the "missing link" on the road to the Superbowl.

    Maybe he just hasn't hit his stride or got on the same page as Mayfield or something.   I just hope it's not some kind of hidden injury or some such thing.

    Shop him now? Have they packed it in for the season already? I don't think so...... but I guess we will see now won't we.    😕

    Let me share with you guys one of the many depressing stats from our offense.  You're not going to believe this, but it relates to what I've been harping on for weeks.

    Odell Beckham Jr, our prized wide receiver, has the fewest red zone targets out of everyone on our team.  I'm not sure if that's everyone, or just WR's, but I heard it on Browns Daily, and I believe it.  I've been saying for WEEKS NOW to throw OBJ the mother effing ball when we're close to the damn end zone, but we simply don't do it.  What's worse is that he's been open MULTIPLE DAMN TIMES.  

    THROW HIM THE DAMN BALL.

    The problem is Baker's been figured out in red zone struggles-zone coverage. Dude hasn't been able to figure it out and they can blanket WR's with such a short field. He just ain't seeing the field.

  • Ya.... I'll take a hard pass on trading Odell. 

    Draws the other teams best CB's and takes all kinds of pressure off everybody else. 

    Landry DESTROYED the Ravens. That didn't happen last year without OBJ. 

    The outcoaching part doesn't bother me. Freddie had them in the right spots against the Rams with that read option pass shotgun formation that worked.... After they got punched in the face on that opening 49ers play they moved the ball decently. Got a few drives together. Wilks has coached pretty damn well, but had a clunker against the 49ers. I don't expect to see that happen again. 

    Giving up is the issue. Your QB was getting planted left and right and the OL sucked. 

    BUT......2nd youngest team in the NFL. They don't know how to do anything right. Take the lumps now, and stick it to the road apple teams you get to play at the end of the season and pull a playoff spot with 9-7 record. 

  • And as another closer look at OBJ this was just a bad game for everyone especially compared to the previous weeks.  https://subscribers.footballguys.com/players/player-all-info.php?id=BeckOd01&tab=5&pbpyr=2019#pbp2019-5

    Yeah, it was a bad week, but I've never heard of a team having a BAD MONTH when it comes to targeting their $80 million WR in the red zone.  I'm not kidding when I tell you that I can't think of ONE time when we threw the ball to OBJ in the endzone through 5 games.  Let that sink in for just a moment.  Almost every time we threw the ball into the pay dirt against the 49's it was to Harris or Calloway.  We had 6 plays inside the 10 yard line, and of those 6, I believe 4 were passing plays.  Of those 4 passing plays, NONE of the attempts went to OBJ or Landry.  Making matters worse, OBJ was open on one the passes we threw to Harris.  Cuz, ya know, I'm looking for Demetrius effing Harris over OBJ when my team needs points.  Good lord I've never seen anything like it.  It almost looks like they're not TRYING to score.  Whenever Baker goes back to pass inside the 20 yard line, I know he's going to throw a bad pass.  I know this because he's completing a league low 24% of his passes in the red zone.  

    Can't we try at least ONE effing jump ball to Seals-Jones?  Can we?  Could we maybe try a WildDawg play or two inside the 10 yard line?  Could we POSSIBLY use some misdirection or the stupid pick play that EVERY OTHER team in the world uses?  Do you possibly think that we MIGHT think about running the ball 4 times in a row if we get first and goal from the 5?  Oh, here's an idea.  Do you think Baker Mayfield could just POSSIBLY throw the ball into the end zone when we're NOT in the red zone?  I dunno, say we're at the opponent's 35 yard line, and maybe, just maybe we could try throwing a touchdown pass to OBJ?

    I'm sorry I'm such a little diva bitch right now, but I'm beyond pissed.  I don't understand why we can't at LEAST be the same offense we were last year when the only missing piece is Zeitler.  Literally everything else is the same, except we now have a great WR.  How are you worse?  That's what I don't understand.

    Exactly.  We all believed that when you added pieces to the high powered offense they would be better. Plus Mayfield another full year plus Chubb destined to go over 1000 yards plus they WERE 7-8-1 with some close OT games.

    So what happened?  Sounds like an autopsy of the deceased.  😕

    agreed.......i never thought he was that great to begin with except for a couple one handed catches....big fucking woop.....he stinks....the ravens game he wasn't even doubled teamed...that number 44 db smacked him around pretty good...

  • Jerry Rice was double and triple teamed during a time when the rules weren't as laxed as they are now... OBJ should quit complaining and man up...

    Jerry Rice was a goddam workout freak at WR, #1 in my book all time.

    I don't know what they could get for him, and what team would want him. And just wait...he mostly hasn't started any drama (except for the watch). But he will. He will.

    ... but just as windows are compressed in the redzone, so too are throwing lanes.

    We need to get Baker on the move with some deigned PAP roll outs... especially in the rz.
