  • I also have to say I was EXTREMELY impressed with Kareem Hunt, especially his blocking. That guy was a man possessed and had multiple key blocks. He was simply beasting. Not only that, he is a noticeable weapon in both the running and passing game. He was impressive, and he's going to score this season.

    You know, that was something. Hunt got a heavy dose of playing time, and some of that was in a fullback role. I don’t recall Chubb ever following him, but Chubb has a tendency to not follow his lead blocker.

    Chubb followed him on a couple of stretch runs.  I was very impressed with his conditioning.  He played a ton of snaps and we utilized him well in the pass game although some times we got to cute. What sucks is he is a great receiver in screens but our offensive line can not block up a screen to save their life. They just run around looking lost and blocking the wrong guys.

    No way. He’s terribly effective doing what he does, but l notice he just doesn’t always follow his lead blocker. 

  • Another trip inside the five and no TD...

    and a false start call pushes the Browns to get the FG

    Which, by the way was the absolute smart move by the RT.   It gave the Browns the points that were the margin of victory.

    I love chubb but I made a note of this in the tavern.  Hunt should be our goalline back. Hunt just goes to where the hole is (or where its supposed to be) when running short yardage.  Chubb 2 steps in the backfield because that's his run style. He's a patience and vision runner (and a tough tackle) but we need a guy running full steam at the line of scrimmage in short yardage situations.

    I very easily could be wrong (wont be the first or last time), but I don't believe the browns were ever going to go for that unless there was a receiver uncovered when they lined up. I think they were going to try to draw offsides and get a free play and maybe go if they jumped and moved the ball from the 4 to the 2. The playclock was at one when Hubbard jumped and didn't look like they had any intention of snapping the ball.

    can u blame him ?

  • Hmm... go jumbo package and stuff it in on 1. What a concept

    Maybe they need to do the Refrigerator Perry thing, and get our heaviest player in their to play fullback.  We have a DT called Eli Ankou on the active roster.  Plow him up the middle.

    I mean, it can't hurt, can it, since nothing else Ferd does works.

    Cleveland have achieved half the number of wins as their number of losses on the season and remain two games ahead of the Bengals

  • I'm grateful for the win.. But honestly speaking.. Dumbfuck Freddie is a tool... I can't ever remember seeing so many dumb in game decisions by a HC.. Bone headed call after bone headed call.. He needs to be an OC... He's way in over his head... The Browns got lucky...

    How the fuck are the bills 6-3? This is a legitimate question 

    I think, honestly that they have also had the weakest schedule in the league to date.

    Uhmm.  Maybe. 

    (but we are dealing with Freddie....you perhaps give him too much credit for having that sort of forethought.)

  • Freddie better get Higgins out of his dog house.  We had Khadarel Hodge on the field on the goalline and he didn't do his job on the rub route screen to Landry (when Landry yelled at him after play) . Higgins meanwhile obviously had the clutch td, but he also had a monster block on a little swing pass to either Hunt or Landry that allowed the receiver to pick up 20 plus yards.  He does everything right including the little things like rub routes and blocking.  He has chemistry with Baker. He needs to be on the field in our 3 receiver sets. I get if he refused to go in a game he should be punished.  He has served his time though and it's time to give him more snaps.

    Am not giving up on finding that block..it was a classic crash..   but got this

     Watch the shake & get off me on Higgins mind. Watch Bake's head & eyes move from off strong to weak side single coverage. Just like ya drew it up in the dirt at home..

    If you don't like the bright spots, that's fine. Don't want to celebrate 3-6? Good. It's sobering to see where the Browns are even after their first win in a long time. But there it is. If it ticks you off, look to Dorsey, who promoted Kitchens in no small part because Mayfield reportedly wanted him. Look to Kitchens and his questionable game management. Add in player drama, injuries, etc.

    The Browns came *very* close to going 2-7 today,  or nearly double the losses to wins. Instead they are a step closer to evening things out in their record by hitting 3-6 instead. And, they aren't in last place in the division, which isn't the best thing in the world, but truthfully is one of the best things you can say about this incarnation of the Browns. It isn't what a lot of people were expecting, but, it's where Cleveland is. At this point 8-8 or 7-9 would be a good finish to the season.

  • @jiggins7919 said:

    They win ugly, like they almost did today. They keep it close, fight like mad, and make JUST enough plays. Today, that was US for a change. 

    fewer penalties and not turning the ball over

    Just like last week but we made that last drive count. In front of the home crowd, and I LOVED to see Baker get that game-winning march under his belt.

    So, they have not lived up to expectations....and you revel in that, teeny tiny thinker.

  • I have a question. Are the red zone problems caused by the playcalling or the player's inability to execute? It's obviously gotta be a combination of both, but to what degree? And it's difficult to blame EVERYTHING on Freddie because Baker has missed so many TD pass reads in the red zone. Freddie didn't make Demetrius Harris jump for no reason in the end zone, or drop the pass against the 49's that got picked, or miss wide open OBJ in the paydirt, or throw it behind an open Landry for a pick. It's just really difficult to blame Freddie for ALL our problems when plays have been there for us. 

    Lemme tell you something else. Remember that incredible throw and catch to Landry on our final drive that got us to around the 15ish yard line? Well, Baker missed yet another touchdown pass. Granted, he had NO time to scan the field, but Kareem Hunt snuck out of the backfield UNCOVERED. Baker could've blindly tossed up a punt and Hunt could've moonwalked into the end zone. Go back and watch the play. He's so open it's nauseating. 

    What am I saying? I'm saying Freddie has called plays that result in opportunities. Do I LIKE him as a coach or playcaller? Fudge no. I'll never forgive him for a 4th and 9 draw play. Ever. We almost NEVER have timeouts at the end of the game. And his fault or not, it was completely humiliating not to score after 8 plays from the 3 yard line, and the only reason we kicked a FG the NEXT time was because Hubbard saved our asses with the miracle false start. 

    I'm certainly not bitching. I'm beyond floored we got the win, and I hope it carries forward this week. Something is definitely not right with our offense, but we looked a LITTLE better at times today. Let's finish more drives Thursday and actually beat their ASSES.

    Lest we forget- the Bill pulled yet another Scott Norwood miss out of their hat to tie the game with time expiring to give us the win. 

    I posted in another thread- and now having time to meditate on it. Yeah, being aggressive is fine- being STUPID aggressive is not. You're running into a brick wall on the one Freddie- take the damn points while you have the chance. 

  • Our offensive line isn’t dominant ..getting points is tough when the run game gets stuffed in the redzone.. Also Nick Chubb missed the one potential sprint for the pylon opportunity he had.

    The offense scored when it mattered and hopefully will continue to find ways to get isolated 1on1s to the playmakers..
