OK SERIOUSLY

The worst thing for me is not Mayfield regressing, I think he can turn the trend if he focuses only on football and works on his footwork and reading defenses.
For me the worst thing is that this team had a bad 3rd quarter against the Titans, a bad first half against the 49ers, a bad 2nd and 3rd quarter against the Seahawks and it didn't seem like it was going to make a comeback. They need to have things going for them and it reminds me Hue's team which always was a blocked punt, missed field goal or a turnover away from winning the game.
Everyone in the building has to keep quiet, put their heads down and work hard. It's a game of inches, you have to fight for every one of them and you can't give up when facing adversity. That's what good teams do.
it reminds me Hue's team
Wow. Absolutely nothing reminds me of Hue's team.
Before Dorsey & Baker I NEVER thought we had a chance to win. From the opening whistle to game's end. 'Never'. It's a LOT different now.

But the talent level is light-years ahead than, say, Hue's 2016 team.
Give Freddie Hue's 2016 team and ask yourself if you think it would look a LOT different now.

This quote on why he was running hurry up and throwing (led to int and seahawks scoring) with less than 2 minutes to go in the half reminds me a lot of hue. Very defensive and can't believe anyone would question him. Just admit a mistake dude. Denying it like this makes it look like you won't learn from mistakes.
“I would not admit that (I mismanaged the clock),’ he said. “I would admit that we need to make a better play call, make a better throw, run a better route. I would admit all of that, but that is all. Every situation is different.”
He said he was trying to score, stop the Seahawks and scored again, otherwise, “Why am I saving the timeouts? I could burn them like a bunch of people do. Why am I saving the timeouts?”

If I was John Dorsey I would have serious doubts about the guy I hired as HC after hearing/reading this.
That is just a completely brain-dead statement by Freddie.

I legitimately couldn't believe it when I heard it. I was looking for an article to make sure I could actually get the quote right and heard it right I was so taken back by it.

Quite aggressive wouldn't you say? Very, un Hue like.

It was idiotic, which was very Hue-like.

It's not the "aggressive" decision. It's the mistake of the decision and not owning it that is very hue like.

Absolutely.
Freddie is doubling-down on his stupid decisions.
I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that Gregg Williams had way more to do with the Browns success post-Hue than most of us gave him credit for. The Browns under him last season were disciplined.

If I made the decision that he made, I would not say that it was a mistake either. It was a plan. The player throwing the INT made the mistake.
Let's score then get some more! I don't have a problem with it.

If the Browns kicked a field goal at that point, the score would have been 23-12 Browns. A touchdown there would have made it 27-12.
But you are saying that you would have preferred to score either with, say 1:50 left on the clock and give the ball to the hottest QB in the NFL and take your chances of forcing a 3 and out, using all your timeouts, and trying to score with less than a minute than to just use as much time as possible, giving the Seahawks little to no chance to scoring, and going to the half up 23-12 or 27-12?
Really?

I'm saying that it was a plan. An aggressive plan. You play to win the game. I hate playing not to lose.
He played to try and get 7 points....and then maybe another 3. I don't have a big problem with it. HOWEVER, I didn't like him going for it on 4th and 9 a while back.

In hindsight it wasn't a good plan because it didn't work.
But really, in the moment, they had them on the ropes... they went for the knockout punch and got caught.
Keep swinging. They remember the homeruns, not the strikeouts. We're about to find out what this team is made of.
- and I checked the penalties, I see what you were saying. The Seahawks had more penalties than we did, which I didn't realize... I think it's the context of the penalties and not the amount that mattered however. Like the horsecollar on Garrett- automatic 1st down. Phantom crackback block by Landry- negates a good gain and puts us in a massive hole... those types of penalties are drive killers and game changers, not the ticky-tack 5 yard penalties to make it look even on the stat line.
-
If that's a plan, it's a stupid one. Every good coach in the league, when close to the 2 minute mark on a good drive, will use up all the clock possible, even forcing the other team to use its timeouts.
And you have to take shots in dire situations. This team can't handle big score differences, so if you have to take 3 points take them. Mostly if it's in fourth and long.

Have a Steelers fan read this to you and help you understand. YOUR TEAM HAS NOT BEATEN A TEAM WITH MORE WINS THAN LOSSES. That means that your team sucks. Teams play each other to determine which team is better. Our team beat your team. Can you figure out what that means? If not, ask the Steelers fan who is helping you.
It's trolls like this who give Ravens fans a bad name. I'm sure there's a few decent Baltimore fans out there, but I can honestly say I haven't seen one here on the Board yet. What should you expect though out of a fanbase that reveres #52- who saw a couple guys get killed, and can't remember exactly what happened? He's not here to talk football, just rag when the Browns lose. FWIW, that alone is reason enough to kick him off, but I'll wait until after the Seahawks game to send him into Internet oblivion. As to always being "great" I counted 11 seasons when the Ravens were .500 or lower. As recently as a few years ago when they were 5-11, then 8-8 a real powerhouse of a team, um not exactly. The Steelers fans should be laughing at them.
Speaking of- has Pittsburgh got their mojo back or are the Chargers that bad? Man, they sucked the big one on Sunday night.

You're right about some decent Ravens fans. This guy is just an idiot no matter who he roots for. No reason to ban him. He obviously isn't intelligent enough to make any good points on any subject. He's kind of a distraction over here. He's harmless...way too stupid to have a conversation with.

If the Browns had a offensive line...
If the Browns minimize their penalties...
If the Browns were better in the red zone...
If the Browns were not picked off 11 times...
If the Browns receivers didn't drop so many passes...
If the Browns defense could figure out offenses...
If the Browns had an effective defensive backfield...
Two weeks of rest will not remedy these problems. And look who the Browns will face after their "rest", Patriots. That's an awesome team to welcome you back. I'm an incurable pessimist because I'm a Browns fan so I predict two more wins this season and talk like I've talked for season after season...wait till next year.

Talent to win? Yes.
Coaching and managing to win? ?
