    i really dig what you are saying but i disagree about the earth not being around for ever I believe in time it will shake us all off like fleas and move on

    As the Sun dies.. So shall the earth.... And if we don't become space faring.. We will become extinct just like the Dinosaurs did...

  • Somehow this discussion about the Earth ending is actually less depressing than the Browns season is right now.

    I'm so confused. Perfect play call and Baker wasn't close. This is about as frustrating as it gets. That would've been a huge gain. I just don't get it. Why is everything so hard for us? 

    Because we're cursed....

    So that saw an illegal use of hands but missed the two holds 

    and a couple facemask calls...

    Sadly- we're not going to suckquite badly enough to get him.. but then again- lose out and we're in the running.  ;(

    We had 21 first downs to 13.   We had the ball for ELEVEN more minutes than Denver.  - very disheartening.  

    More than disheartening. A season with so much promise- shot down in flames....

    I don't believe in being cursed (even though it seems that way) but this is way more than disheartening. This was a must win game and we didn't get the job done even with Denver playing their 3rd string QB. We dominated time of possession and first downs but had too many drives we didn't finish and had to settle for field goals and our defense broke down at critical  times. We should have won this game but as usual we find ways to lose games like this instead of winning them.

    This. ALL of this. 

    I never would've guessed our season would be over the first week of November. 

    Dammit to heck man, now we gotta hear ALL about how our coach will be fired, our QB isn't good, OBJ is angry, and whatever else. It never ends. It literally never ends. 

    And maybe it's because of how the season is going, but at no point during that game after the 1st quarter did I think we were going to win. It just felt like we, once again, had no "magic". We have nothing, ya know? No big strikes, no razzle-dazzle, no......just....ugh...never mind. It doesn't matter any more. 

    Well, there's something wrong with Baker for sure.  He missed seeing two scores at least. As others have said, OBJ had his guy beat at the end of the game, earlier, ditto in the end zone on a crossing route that would have scored- Baker dumped the ball off short.

    I just don't understand it. And I promise I'm not trying to be the argumentative douche bag who comes to the board to spew venom. I'm simply frustrated that one of my favorite hobbies has turned into a shit storm again, and there's a chance it'll get WORSE. 

    Baker is broken, and there's no arguing that. Look at the touchdown pass he finally got tonight. It really shouldn't have BEEN a freakin TD because the defender missed a pretty easy tackle. Baker does NOT throw the ball into paydirt effectively. He quite literally doesn't throw touchdown passes. Never any deep shots. No deep seam passes. Nothing. Nada. 

    You remember that 4th and 7 Baker completed to Landry a few games ago. It was a great pass and obviously sustained a drive that I believe resulted in a FG. Anyway, it was another example of Baker missing OBJ for an easy touchdown. Go back and find that play. Might not have been against the Seahawks, but it was to Landry on 4th and 7.

    OBJ with 1on1 coverage=OBJ should probably be targeted.

    Just going by the looks of how dominant he is when the ball actually goes his way. Baker doesn’t get it yet.. maybe that OTA stuff really did caused this lack of chemistry...

    Forever is a long long time Atom. And we're here because the sun is doing it's job turning hydrogen into helium. Einstein's E=MC2.  It doesn't take turning much matter into energy to create a lot of it. The sun is essentially a controlled hydrogen bomb.  FWIW, the amount of matter turned into energy when a atom bomb goes off is a fraction of an ounce.  Yeah, that's a little bit of a digression, but the amount of hydrogen our sun has is finite, and when it uses it up- goodbye earth. The sun is going to go on expansion diet to keep up, just like plenty of other stars we already know about. Earth may wind up as a cinder inside it- there's giant stars we know about that a lot of our solar system up to Saturn would be inside it.  The good news is that's billions of years in the future that we're not going to have to worry about. 

    As to Nickers us being a space faring populace- I hope so. The last thing to figure out will be how to break the "light barrier" shades of Star Trek and Star Wars. As back in the 40s trying to break the sound barrier- it seems that the speed of light- 186,000 miles per second- is the speed limit of this universe. And currently we're snails on that scale getting anywhere close to that speed. & Why if we ever get close? Because of another of Einstein's strokes of genius- space and time are linked. The faster you go, the closer time gets to zero. If Albert is right- if you ever break the light barrier- time will start going backwards. Now how's that for a thought to get your mind of a Browns loss?

    To put it in in an astronomic perspective, the odds of the Browns making the playoffs now is about the same as the earth getting hit by a major earth targeting asteroid in the same time frame....  

    In a billion or so years- anything is possible.  

  • Baker sucks, but I think Baker's failure to see what's happening on the field is partially a failure of the coaching staff. Getting the play in late every down isn't giving him much time to see what's going on pre-snap. He needs some goff-level help.

    Get rid of whomever is calling this wretched selection of plays.

    no nfl team in 2019 is 'run first'....and if they were they would be 2-14.  at best.

    This is a passing league.  You pass to get the big lead, then maybe you can run some. Passing is just so much more efficient than running.   All these holding penalties on running plays now just makes it even worse.

  • The Browns are not good.

    no playoffs this year. No more soup for you....NEXT

  • We did everything fine except for score in the red zone. No turnovers, limited penalties, and won time of possession. But if you kick FG's instead of getting touchdowns, you will lose unless you have a rare defense. We most certainly don't have THAT. Ya know, I'm about sick of hearing about our defensive line. Those assholes haven't done SHIT. You know what's really funny? Myles Garrett echoed the very same sentiment that I said about him. The same message that a member here ripped me for, and that's his failure to make any meaningful plays during the game. Where are our stars? They certainly don't shine on Sunday, I know that much.
