OK SERIOUSLY

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.
Well, it's the bye week and everything will get evaluated. Including the coaches and play calling. As they opined on Red Zone yesterday, I wouldn't be too surprized if Dorsey had a chat with Kitchens and ask him "what the hell were you thinking there"?
Being aggressive I get- being over aggressive will lose you games.

It almost seems like Freddie isn't being aggressive, more like he's being desperate.

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

It's water under the bridge now but imo Greg Williams earned the right to be HC this year with what he accomplished last year. I saw it as a slap in the face when they bypassed him. I'm not giving up on Kitchens though and I cut him some slack as a new HC. He has the team playing at a high enough level to be competitive with some of the NFL's best but he has to get a few things cleaned up such as better clock management, play calling, mistakes etc...I think he will get it done, time will tell.

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?

This is what I keep saying, and it's terrifying because the LAST thing I wanna do is get another coach mid season, but if our coach doesn't understand simple game dynamics, what's going to happen when things AREN'T simple? I'm not talking about some upper level, graduate course knowledge here...I'm talking about maximizing points, reducing risk, and limiting oppositional opportunities. HOW THE EFF DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?! You fat, mayonnaise sandwich-eating, backwoods, squirrel hunting, dipshit of a coach!!
Whew. I'm better now.

OK cal and I are in our usual rare agreement here. You've gone way too far over the top!??

You can rant all you want, but Freddie will be allowed to play out the year, regardless.

did the squealers/germans fire Chuck Noll his first year? his second or third year?
HELL NO !

Honestly, I HOPE to God you're right! The last thing I want to even THINK about is a coaching change, ya know? But I don't understand some of the mistakes he's made. The draw on 4th and 9? Not running it ONCE against the Rams when we needed to score and had plenty of time? Running it twice in a row against the Seahawks with the same formation AND the exact same play? Trying to leave time on the clock so the hall of fame QB goes 3 and out and you get the ball BACK before half?
My problem is that being a first year coach doesn't excuse any of that. I've never been a coach of football at any level and I totally know that you don't do any of that. I'd venture to say that all of our fans know this information as well. So if we're not paid millions of dollars, and we know what to do, how in the world does a coach not know? There isn't an excuse in the world that will make sense, and being a "first year coach" doesn't cut the mustard.

Let me make my stance perfectly clear, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, LOL. I do NOT want a new coach, not right now. I simply do not understand how someone could be so dense in very easy situations. My point was that if Kitchens continues to make idiotic mistakes that a JV coach in Arkansas wouldn't make, he will be gone.

The problem I have in the Seahawks game was Freddie doubling down and saying the ill advised pass to Landry that got picked off was absolutely the right call.... I won't belabor what everyone else pointed out, in that situation even if you do score, you don't want to give Wilson the ball again with plenty of time left in the half... That's clock management 101 for most coaches.

The reason I got so angry after this game (well, ONE of the reasons) was just what you mentioned. Freddie, you arrogant, smug, no-clue having ass clown. He sounded EXACTLY like Hue Jackson. I immediately got PTSD and I almost couldn't believe what he said. And that's kind of my point in all my bemoaning...if WE know this, how does he not? And I get there's a head coaching learning curve, but I already know this, and I've never been a coach. At any level! How the heck does he not understand? I was waiting for him to say something like, "It would've been good if it had worked."
Who willingly gives the ball back to the hall of fame QB when you just played the best half of ball all year and you have the great chance at ending a half with no less than a 23-12 lead? And applause at the half! Remember "applause"?!

Well he did say the play call may have been wrong and the decision baker made on playcall may have been wrong but the time management was not wrong ??????

It was not the same play. The first one (successful but whistle blew it dead) didn't have a pulling guard. The 2nd one did. Yes it was to the same side and maybe even same hole but it was not the same play because the blocking schemes were completely different. Not all tosses/sweeps are the same play just because they go to the same hole. The first one was an iso second one was a trap.
