The Official Browns at Patriots Game 8 Thread
-
I know @calfoxwc likes to say dumb shit like "draw up plays to confuse the defense"... Stefanski did early, and it worked. But that isn't something you can do and live by every snap. It isn't realistic. We couldn't win on our weakside iso, we couldn't win on outside zone, and they sat all over high percentage concepts after the 1st qtr. We just don't have the horses to counter adjust. This has been the theme across entire position groups for multiple years - OL, WR's, Dline, LB's...
well, you aRE a dumb shit on a lot of things, just not "Xs" and "Os".
I blasted the play calling, and since you are too arrogant to read it, Shirley Tiam, I'll tell you flat out - Mike Vrabel blasted Stupanskis play calling.
So, you want to say Vrable doesn't know anything, but you are a so called grand poobah of football?
You should STFU once in a while, and yes, you would probably be like Aikman or Collinsworth. Too arrogant to be decent in most conversations.
Guess what I just found:

CAN WE ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS PATRIOTS THREAD?
The Patriots haven't been relevant since Brady left. WHY? Quarterback! They drafted 4th last April....after Drake Maye's rookie season. THIS year Maye is showing that he's not a rookie any more...and that he's not Mack Jones.
The Patriots whiffed on the QB selection. So they went back up to the plate and drafted another one. (and then the next draft they drafted an OT)
You've gotta have the QB. We, of any fans, should know this by now. We can take our aggressions out on the HC, GM, Jimmuh, Dee, the son-in-law, DePodesta, whomever ya want...but all the new suits & ties ya wanna bring in aren't going to make much of a difference if they'll be using a midget rookie 3rd round QB and Practice Squad receivers.

While a bit of exaggeration on the WRs (at least last year and this), all well said.

oh, and I was talking about his play-calling.
and, you are a liar. I searched for "draw up plays to confuse the defense" in this entire thread, and the only result was your post.
10/16
Sorry, I said "confuse" instead of "fool"
The point remains the same for both you and I.
And never call me a liar again.

When Dutch says it 4 times in a row in 4 different posts, he'll be on par with me and cal.?
However, my own hand picked by me FFL team won the weekend $40 prize again last night. So there's that!??
I will admit however that a friend in the league picked this guy for me on redraft because I was in England unable to participate.

Damn guys, all this Browns losing is making us turn on each other. Let's not drive people out of here, it's sadly becoming a ghost town for who knows what reason(s).
The world would be boring if we all agreed on everything. We're all here for one reason.....our love for the Browns.
Besides another lousy season, the thing that's pissing me off is how AFC teams who were kind of down have turned it around ( Denver, Indianapolis, New England), and here we are talking about tanking, draft picks, & play calling.
My theory is Haslam is giving Berry & Stefanski more time to turn this around because he realizes the DW situation crippled this team far worse than even DePodesta could have imagined (analyzed).
Unless the players totally revolt, they're running everything back in 2026.
I'm in the acceptance stage, even though I hate what's going on. I admit, I was overly-optimistic about 2025 even though I saw the difficult starting schedule. I urge all to join me.
Go Browns.

Well, sure, if you are going to go in a mature, reasonable and smart attitude, but.....

I like Kevin. We will do worse IMO with a replacement. He will be HC in the league if he’s out of a job.
You can’t win with a limited QB, two twin turnstiles for some of the year and the worst collection of WRs in the NFL. There is no scheme or game plan to work around that.
Having said that. I hated the Ken Dorsey move last year.

Looking back, Gabriel had a tremendous amount of terrific talent around him at Oregon. Went and looked at his stats in college(s):
He can play, but the Browns' talent on offense never all gets together, and he is a rookie. He has to be extremely frustrated. I remember Terry Bradshaw saying early on, he nearly got booed out of Pittsburgh, he played so badly.
The Browns desperately need to rebuild their oline, and get a dynamic star wr.
Big trouble if Bitonio retires, and/or Teller gets hurt.
the move up to the NFL - they say is so much faster, etc. Just a bad situation to put Gabriel in.

I don't know if you caught the A&M - LSU game, but Nussmeier got sacked almost the first play by a player who reminds me a lot of Von Miller. He ended up sacked 7 times in the game and knocked down another 11 just as he released the pass. By the end he was so frustrated he took himself out of the game. Like the Browns, the LSU tackles were turning into turnstiles for the Aggie D line. Which is why they got outscored 35-0 the second half until A&M sent in all subs to go against the sub QB for the last TD.
