    That's the thing too about taking one thing or snapshot in time, even sometimes taken out of context and trying to make it representative of something bigger that is happening.

    ........"The play was a perfect encapsulation of the Browns this season. Despite some excellent weapons, the team has struggled to get things going. Mayfield has been a major part of that. He entered Sunday’s game leading the NFL with 11 interceptions."..........

    Perception or reality?  This is what is being portrayed out there.

    So is 2-5 that says a lot also.

    You are  what your  record says you are. Losses to two  very  good teams  by self  inflicted wounds.

    Well, they have lost to 4 very good teams.  The two teams that were in the Super Bowl last year,   another that is still undefeated, and another to a team that is 6-2  (and should be 7-1...if they had not done the same thing....lose due to self inflicted wounds.)

    OK, som maybe they are not quite on that level yet...the first year in.  Only the Tennessee loss is the one that really kinda blows.

    And now we have 9 very winnable games.   But even there, those self inflicted wounds must stop.

    Good points they lost to good teams they ironic part is that they could have been in the games or even won maybe 5 or 6 of those games.

    I saw a great coach long ago once say that almost every game comes down to 3 or 4 key plays and if they go your way you probably win if not you just lost.

    The BROWNS should not be a 2-5 team......but they are.

    You have to admit though it was pretty funny. The ball travelled maybe 5 feet. It kinda reminded me of the Sanchez butt fumble. We are going to see that alot the next few years.

    Hardly worst ever.  It was an idiotic play design in bad weather.

    The worst part was that our best OL was the one who got his ass blown apart and caused the turnover.  We need our best players to start PLAYING like they're the best players.

    And  then watching a Progressive Commercial with Baker in it made me even more pissed off.

    I laughed because it was even more stupid than the buttfumble. In the buttfumble Sanchez fumbles the ball because Wilfork pushed the Olineman in a bullrush against Sanchez. In the Shovel INT the defender wins the LOS and Baker automatically hands him the ball, not thinking.

    I immediately hit Netflix button on my remote once I saw that garbage. These bums should be ashamed.

    Still not as bad as Wheezy's backhanded INT...

    ... but somehow this is not a comfort.

    When Weeden got stuck under the American flag prior to his first NFL game, he should have retired right then.

    I once saw Weeden throw a pass over a WR’s head so bad that they called intentional grounding.

    The worst/best thing about that underhanded heave of an interception is that a game or two later WEEDEN ALMOST DID IT AGAIN.

    Shuffle,Shovel,Shuttle? if it's Going to Landry? The play is called a jet sweep. If the ball hits the ground in any of them? it would have been a incomplete pass. It's why in the books, it goes down as a interception. The baffling part still to me is? No team can risk pulling their LT at same time risking this play. Regardless of jiggins brainy breakdown.. Even our pro bowl LG Bitonio has no super cape to jump a half gap towards LT to block Lawrence Guy..BaKe, first option is a handle Or tip option to Chubb. That was the road to take. (chubb reacted & saw it too) Chubb has a green mile in front of him (bottom of video) & OBJ clearing zone in front to block downfield..Baker needed & needs to quit playing Fortnite & start reading defenses on Madden.(notice 3 LB'er alignment at pre-snap, were running a sweep to the Pats strongest side).. It's 1st & 10 & Bake calls for the ball at 9-8 seconds.The check out was for McCary at LT to stay home & block inside and Run Chubb... the rest makes browns history that we just wait to see when it happens ? weekly & yearly
