    I only watched parts of the first half and around last 5 minutes of the game to watch a turnover turn into negative two points. Of note Shedeur made that play backed up in his end zone in the preseason. Can anyone tell me if Dillon stretched the field at all?

    Damn. Listened on the radio, depressing.

    I'll be back home tomorrow after a month on the road. Last game I saw on tv was the London debacle. 

    I wasn't expecting playoffs but figured a 6 or 7 win season. Looks like that's a stretch.

    BYE week, then the NYJets who are also coming off of a BYE. The schedule makers really have me irritated, that's at least 2 Browns opponents coming off a BYE, unheard of.

    He threw an INT 55 yards downfield.

  • Back up to #4 in the draft. Tank-a-thon is real

    "

    As the Steelers and the Browns prepare for their divisional matchup in Week 6, Pittsburgh's former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians offered some brutal criticism of Cleveland's head coach Kevin Stefanski.

    On Tuesday, Arians made a guest appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and was asked to give his opinion on Stefanski — to which the former Steelers offensive coordinator offered this savage response:

    "I don't know how he's kept his job this long,"

    ."

    ok, I mentioned the play-calling. At times, it was pitiful. Stefudski doesn't get it, doesn't have the instincts to be a head coach.

    Guess what I just found:

    Today Explore Mike Vrabel's bold criticism of Kevin Stefanski's play calling following the Browns' disappointing loss. Don't miss the insights!
     
    "During a press conference, Vrabel addressed the game with a focus on the Browns’ offensive decisions. He described the play calling as “questionable,” suggesting that the strategies employed did not effectively utilize the team’s strengths. The bluntness of his critique underscored the frustrations that can arise after a game where the outcome starkly contrasts expectations."

    What offensive team strengths does this team have?

    Not correct.  The Browns have 2 Generals in charge of their offense:  General Confusion and General Panic

    The owner is tanking before the new stadium move. Hoping rookies bring some excitement.

    I think the analytics were wrong on Gabriel and the football guys were right. I'm sure he has a high football IQ, but not the physical traits to be an NFL QB at least not enough to overcome his size.

    Sanders doesn't have the IQ, and has showed F tier pocket presence in pre season. The season is dead but at least there's next year.

    I think it makes sense to give Gabriel the jets and then give sanders some games, evaluate what you got.

    Well.......anyone gonna step up to the plate and answer that question?

    It's NOT running between the Tackles...right?

    It's NOT running outside of the Tackles...right?

    It's NOT throwing to the outside WR's...right?  

    We don't have a magical Wes Welker slot guy right?  

    We have a couple of good TE's.....a midget QB....and an woefully underperforming offensive line.  What are ya going to do with that?

    I’m no Baker Boy, but DAMN, he is better then any person Berry has ever drafted.

    Jimmy is a LOSER. And always will be

    It seems like most of the time, we will score less points than the other team with that.

    John Dorsey picked the third best quarterback of the 2018 NFL Draft with that first overall pick.
