The Official Browns at Commanders Game Thread Oct 6th

Woah. Pettine was a good head coach now? Why did he get canned?
Because he was forced to play a QB the owner wanted, but he really didn’t want.
Fast forward to today, and some things never change.

Well, get to 2-15 and you can get Shedeur Sanders. Horrible crop of QBs coming out in 2025. I wouldn't go with any of them.

Shanahan was pissed Haslam & Farmer forced Manziel to play QB. He left a scathing 25 slide power point presentation on his way out.
Had nothing to do with Pettine. Pettine had the Browns at 6-3 in 1st place in the division. Then interference from the front office sent 'em to 7-9, eventually Hue Jackson?
Woah. Pettine was a good head coach now? Why did he get canned? He is a horrible coach. Trust me I know. Why you think he never got even a sniff for another head coach gig.
No wonder people here stand up for Stefanski. You have not had an actual good coach in so long you forgot what one is. Bill Belichick was the last. And even Bill had a losing record.
What you say about Manziel may be true, Pettine said himself Kyle was not a fan of his. He was serious when he said it. Also, did you ever see Kyle look at Pettine on the sidelines? They were not friendly glares.
Pettine was the worst D coordinator I have ever witnessed.

Pettine got canned because he was spot on about Manziel, & Farmer & Haslam didn't want to believe it.
2014 season right here. You're not as invested in the Browns as me or many here. Believe it or not, Pettine had the Browns in 1st place with Brian Hoyer ...

Pettine was "Meh"... Very average...

Yeah, the Browns were 7-4 and then lost the last 5 games and finished 7-9 in 2014. The next season the Browns were 3-13. Incredible head coach ya had there in Pettine.
Browns fans think Pettine deserves a statue for 7-4. I don't think they hand out trophies for 7-4 and missing the playoffs.

Pettine was average, but he set the high water mark for HC’s in Cleveland during that era.
Keep in mind, he had Ray Farmer filling the roster during his tenure.

that trade was destructive.

Pettine and Shanahan were a fine duo. You had one that was an old-school hard ass, and then another that's one of the best chess players in the game.
They took a team with Brian Hoyer, collection of cast off skill players and almost unheard of running backs to form a pretty respectable offense.
Pettine's downfall was two told.
- Haslam saddled him with an awful QB situation and media circus that was Manziel.
- Pettine brought with him his defense, and his rigid, unadaptable approach to 2gap fronts. Then with it one of the worst DCs I've ever seen in Jim O' Neil.
The fact they were a late season TD away from a wildcard berth was pretty incredible.

I won't belabor the point on Pettine. If you guys feel Pettine was a good head coach, and absolve him from most of the blame for the dumpster fire that was his 2 years in Cleveland, more power to ya.
I will again say the rest of the league does not agree with many here. Pettine never got even a sniff for a head coaching job again. And after his disaster as a DC in Green Bay, he was never offered a DC position ever again.
I listened to ever presser Pettine gave every Thursday when the coordinators spoke in Green Bay. It was a clown show. I saw every snap of his defenses in Green Bay. Pettine had zero clue. The players justly totally tuned him out. When he was fired, I knew he would never be offered a DC position again.
I wished his family well. And I thanked God he was gone.

Oh, no. I don't feel like he himself was/is a good coach. I view him in a similar mold as I do Coach Tomlin. A players coach, good discipline, good for the locker room, works well with the other coaches and doesn't interfere, especially offensively, with their designs. Neither are particularly elite chess players, or even good for that matter.
As a duo, he and Shanahan were effective. But only as a duo.
Edit: and it was even more obvious when the Bills defense took an even bigger step forward that 2014 season after Pettine left. It was clear that he wasn't fit to be a playcaller or the type of coach to mold around his philosophy of defense. As a CEO and someone who delegates well to organize? Absolutely. Again, Tomlin-esque.

Fuck Lombardi
Side Note: Did you know #4 has settled more law suits than thrown for TD'S ? Well it's true.

Again, more power to ya if you think Pettine is Tomlin-esque. If Tomlin had got fired in 2015 he would have had teams breaking down his door to hire him. When Pettine was fired there were crickets.
The end.

Back to the topic of the thread. The game Sunday should have hammered home some things to the Stefanski apologists.
I won't belabor the Stefanski point either. If the Browns don't get close to respectable this year. Stefanski's seat will be on fire, and he will be included in the firings on black Monday at seasons end.

black Monday
I find that Racist and I am offended, packer boy needs a time out

I realize you have zero knowledge on the NFL. I prefer accurate information on here.
You just got yourself blocked again. Stalker tendencies. I do hope you get the help you so desperately need.

Kinda late to the party but this was one of the worst games I ever watched as a Browns fan. The 1-31 was hard but at least we knew we lacked talent (including coaching) literally everywhere. Sunday was just a display of probably the worst QB play since probably Weeden. Washington came in as one of the worst ranked pass defenses and he didn't even make them break a sweat. I'll be honest I gave Watson the benefit of the doubt after he went out on a high last season but now we need to start DTR or Jameis. The team needs to eat it like the Broncos did with Russel Wilson and move on to the next QB.

You can't start DTR because he's the emergency QB on the roster... Both Watson and Winston would have to incur injuries before he can step on the field I believe... So until that happens... put that pipe dream to rest...
-
IMO, Watson will continue to start until he gets injured.
The moment he becomes the backup, Berry's days as GM are over. If Berry is on his way out, Stefanski is following.
