    Serious or satirical, do you have a panic button suggestion with the Browns dropping to 2-5 in their predicted comeback season?

    For example, do you want to talk about:

    • Should they ditch the HC? If so, who do you see as a realistic replacement? When?
    • Is there a team philosophy/behavior issue that needs addressed? How so?
    • Are there drastic changes needed to the starting lineup or to the configurations/play calling?
    • Should we be looking at who we might want to acquire through trades or the draft in the spring?
    • Some other area not mentioned?

    Share now, and beat the rush!

    HC?  It needs to evaluated at seasons end.  I don’t dismantle the talent.  The leadership/coaching needs to be evaluated. 

    The staff is too cozy putting players in spots they can’t handle yet.  Just one example, For instance , Why is a guy like Antonio Callaway fresh off a self induced suspension given a significant role???  We have a football IQ problem maybe it’s youth too.  We may not have the right combination with veterans on this team, but the staff needs to pick it up in that case.

    play calling has been awful on too many occasions. We need Chubb as focal point and Baker under center more and not 5 wide.  Defense I think will improve now that we have corners who can contest passes and we aren’t giving large cushions.

    no trades but Let’s look at Tackle, Safety and Tight End upcoming draft.  

    We do a lot of mind boggling stupid things and Tony Romo god bless you for pointing it out often yesterday.

    Who ya got coming in to take over for Coach Kitchens? Either serious or "If only..."

    What about the draft?

    I evaluate the position.  If this stuff continues I may make a move.  We aren’t perfect but are wasting good player personnel 

    We need a leader first and foremost.  Let the new guy focus on the team- running a team - preparing a gameplan - managing personalities (we have some on this team) and not just  running an offense.  I would definitely find an O coordinator that has a history of tailoring  an offensive package that compliments Baker.

    Too early for the draft.  I’ve watched a lot of Big Ten football this year  - some guys I like probably available middle rounds Malik Harrison LB, Nico Collins WR.  We need to upgrade TE and OT and S. 

  • Ah don’t panic. 
     

    The AFC North is nothing but meat for the grinder this year anyway. 
     

    I prefer to look at it another way. 

    The Browns are the second youngest team in the league with the 5th most cap space. They don’t need to draft a QB next year. 

    The Bengals are in complete disarray.

    The Steelers Rapist is done and Mason Isn’t the answer 

    The Ravens have a RB for a QB that will never get them out of the first round of a playoff game on any year and they are one tackle away from having RG3 as their starter. 

    Whatever happens this year, I’d rather be in the Browns seat than any of the other three.

    Really good post that almost was lost in a bunch of CoachTodd crap...

    Easy fix - discipline especially when it comes to turnovers. 

    310 to 318 yards.   3 turnovers vs the Pats 0.  That is the difference in these games.  Can't win consistently, let alone at all, when you live on the minus side of that differential. 

    eh...misleading.  We got our asses kicked.  the thing about having turnovers that go back for touchdowns and very short fields that lead to more scores and big leads is that they:

    1) reduce the number of possessions for the opposing offense

    2) give the other team a big lead(except for a brief moment when it was a 7 pt game it was a 17ish pt lead throughout) so they can play more conservatively...especially with that defense

    that's going to skew the final total yardage numbers.

    Again, we got our asses kicked.

    I could have sworn you replied earlier in the thread to tinythinker about how you would panic too if you rooted for the browns or even be from Cleveland..... ill never understand the need to lie on forums like this. 

    Edit here it is.  Looks like you tried to delete it to cover your tracks at least once you lied.

    I agree Thinker. I would panic also if I were a Browns fan, or from Clevelabd for that matter!

    I do love the Browns though. Terry Metcalf was a favorite back in the day.

    Don't worry about being on this guys "ignore list" Coach.  While I indicated that you may be the character played by Margaret Hamilton, he is the character played by Bert Lahr.

    LOL Tour, and when we stop kicking ourselves in the ass, or shooting ourselves in the foot- we're going to start kicking other teams asses. Starting this coming Sunday against Denver. I sure hope so, because I went against my own better judgement and took the Browns in the Survivor pool. If we had played a clean game, we were right there with Seattle and the Patriots. And really- has anyone ever seen an o-lineman lying on the ground kick the ball out of his running back's hands? To bring up one of my old sayings, "The Browns find new and exciting ways to lose every week". 

    And FWIW my Bucket List streak of seeing the Browns lose in every NFL venue is going strong. 11 and counting. I could make it an even dozen if I made the trip out to Mile High, but too much to turn it around after just coming back from Boston.  🙂  

  • If any of you want to see the flip side of what we go through on Sunday check out the Buckeye Boards.

    Real Complainers over there.  They are upset that a true freshman project tackle is burning his red shirt by playing 6 snaps in a game that OSU beat the 13th ranked team by 31 points.  1st world problems 

    Speaking of OSU- Ryan Day anyone?  QB whisperer for Baker.  Or let’s not screw up the enjoyment we have on Saturday (if you are an OSU fan)?

  • Team would need to go undefeated the rest of the way to have a chance at the postseason. That's not happening. What a dissapointment.
