Here we go everyone.
Good to see Tretter is active
I'll feel better about it if I see him holding up.
Ummmmm, okay....
Well, I guess he's the "old man" in the special teams room and Stefanski might be pushing an all 3 phases message.
Browns inactives:
WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
CB Greedy Williams
CB Kevin Johnson
LB Mack Wilson
T Chris Hubbard
DE Joe Jackson
This is what you’ve been training for all off-season! Are your fingers ready?
C JC Tretter is starting after missing all of training camp. Rookie LB Jacob Phillips will start and CB Terrance Mitchell starts in place of Greedy Williams.
Would love to see Jacob Phillips emerge as a hidden gem.
What will mayfield’s numbers be?
300+ and 2 TDs?
What will mayfield’s numbers be?
300+ and 2 TDs?
Yes.
Add a TD.
man I'm hoping we play well.. I'm not expecting to win (would love if we do) but hoping we are at least competitive...
I'm happy we are even having a NFL football season this year, but a bit sad that summer is just about over.
Would love to see Jacob Phillips emerge as a hidden gem.
Or Takitaki or Wilson when he returns.
Mid round picks are still good football players and good teams turn these guys into great players all the time.
Didn’t Baker say he was going to kneel?
Bills and Jets stayed in Locker romm
Now let's get on with the season
Didn’t Baker say he was going to kneel?
He came out yesterday and said he was flipping... didn't want to cause any controversy
Didn’t Baker say he was going to kneel?
He did a while back but I saw a post a day or two ago, he changed his mind.
The guy who played Arnold on Different Stroke, actor Gary Coleman,
the Radio couldn't get him to say "what you talking about" in a 2015 interview.
Baker Mayfield, I'm all for his success, and Progressive if he wants the gig, but the persona he uses during his in stadium commercials is unbecoming an NFL starting quarterback, and not the best light for the city of Cleveland.
And maybe a coulple of decades from now Baker will better see that, I hope he makes ZERO more of those commercials where he acts dumb in the stadium. Now, It's opening day! It's the best day of the year when you lose so often.
Let's get it on!
Baker tweeted yesterday he would not kneel which i think is a mistake. I think the entire team should have. Enough is enough. The league as a whole should kneel until things actually change. A cop tried to kill another black kid this last week for the sin of not showing his ID. He was a passenger in a lyft and NOT the driver so he asked why he should have to show ID when he did nothing wrong. The answer was being thrown to the ground and having his neck knelt on by the cop until he was begging for his life. Yes, everyone should kneel. Cops do. Only on black peoples neck.
With the disaster this year has been, I barely paid much attention all offseason to football news....
I'm so glad though, football is here. Time for a much needed diversion
Harbaugh finally had a pleasing face.
That’s how you start it off
They have cardboard cutouts in the stands . . . . lol
Same issues with baker as last year
Going to be a loooooooooonnnnng season
Oh No, Calais Campbell surely deflected that ball for a 2nd play in a row, resulting in that interception.
what is baker looking at?
Come on people give it some time ...
I think that ball came out during the INT catch. Touched the ground.
Going to be a loooooooooonnnnng season
smh
That int was very close to the ground, hopefully they will overturn that during this commercial break.
Didn’t exactly want to see our defense first series a short field but here we are.
So far going as I expected. If ravens score here it will just be a snowball effect.
what is baker looking at?
Campbell dropped into coverage when he was not expected to drop into coverage.
At least we won’t get over-confident as a fan base.
Least were consistent lol
Their oline destroying our front 7
Myles playing on the left
what is baker looking at?
Apparantly, he's looking tunnel vision beyond the d linemen, because in these two cases a d lineman along the line, and 2ndly a d lineman who dropped back just a couple steps, knocked the ball down,
the int, the 2nd one, the ball tipped easily 5 yards laterally before the player int'd it near the ground,
soo, that's hardly a missing a look situation.
Unless he is tunnel vision-ing beyond the d linemen.
Ogunjobi with a menacing TFL
Could he be any more wide open?
Our pass rush is non existent.
Looking expansion esque still
Turnovers, and Cover the tight ends.
Two keys to the game that just bit them in the but!
0-7 Bad guys
TEs and the Browns are always a horrible matchup.
Too easy. Lamar’s threat to run changes everything.
And there it is. The route begins....
Can someone ask stefanski what was that?
Well, I see our Defense against TEs picked up where it left off last year.
Going just like it was predicted. Too many new pieces for us. Hopefully there’s some improvements as the game goes on
So, still not covering TEs. Feels familiar.
I'll tell you what, on film alone I thought Taki looked lost a lot even at BYU...never saw what Wolf loved about him.
Can someone ask stefanski what was that?
He's organized!
Why hasn't the LB been cut yet?
Wait, they are reviewing this, he kinda did drop that
he drew it into his hip, and his hip and the ball hit the ground at the same time, and the ball moved, into his belly as it and his hip hit the ground
Sooo, who knows , if you didn't see it ,that's the best I can describe it.
the ball did motherloving move!
TEs and the Browns are always a horrible matchup.
Any team and the browns is usually a bad matchup
Even though the ball was tipped it was a bad read by Baker.
7-0 RATS
Stefanskis introduction to the cleveland curse.
Wait, they are reviewing this, he kinda did drop that
he drew it into his hip, and his hip and the ball hit the ground at the same time, and the ball moved, into his belly as it and his hip hit the ground
Sooo, who knows , if you didn't see it ,that's the best I can describe it.
the ball did motherloving move!
I don't think the ball hit the ground.
Why hasn't the LB been cut yet?
which one? Which flabby linebacker can they cut when they all are bad? flabby with a capital S.
Baker what is up with that footwork lol
Mayfield just doesn’t look like the guy
Well, we still look like the Browns.
Time for the ravens to go up 14-0
Fun times. This is the worst.
a fake punt is fumbled my gosh!
Yeah this is going to be the ugliest season
What an absolute disaster.
do obj and jarvis not exist?
Camp cupcake looks like it is paying off.
He was 5 yards short anyway
ohh noo
What the .,.....
who the hell is 23?!? you need to block one guy and then we MIGHT have a chance for that dumb ass play to work...
That one guy muffed his block.
Good play Myles against the run
Where are Jarvis and OBJ?
Lmao how stupid was that?! Well that's game... 14 to 0 coming up and the route is on just like I said
OBJ, Chubb, Hunt, Jarvis????
big third down... have to hold them...
who the hell is 23?!? you need to block one guy and then we MIGHT have a chance for that dumb ass play to work...
Same with #30 and the TE on that side lol
The Browns seem confused. It must be they are mistaking no fans to mean a scrimmage.
WTF is Stefanski thinking? That was stupid. Now instead of a long field they get an easy touchdown and it's 14-0. I am all for giving this staff a change and I did not expect us to win many games the first half of the year because of the Covid situation but losing them through stupidity? That is different.
Damn Jackson can drop back so fast
same thing different year
Garrett showed up atleast
Where is all that swag Baker had his rookie year?
10-0 we just gave them a free 3 points.
Justin Tucker in an empty stadium is never going miss.
That’s a defensive victory for that series considering the horrendous situation the offense and ST put them in. Garrett earning his paycheck.
Here we go,
again Brownies,
here we go.
We are playing like we all have Covid
This is worse than expected.
That’s a defensive victory for that series considering the horrendous situation the offense and ST put them in. Garrett earning his paycheck.
I agree... 3 and out on a very short field... great series for the defense...
Couldn’t we at least go one quarter before despair set in?
We are playing like we all have Covid
We don't look quite that good.
We are playing like we all have Covid
Better not, we have pre-existing conditions.
This is worse than expected.
The Ravens were always going to squish us.
We are playing like we all have Covid
This is worse than expected.
I dunno... my expectations were much lower this year than last year
let baker whipp it downfield..pic or no pic. gotta show some danger to defense
Hopefully all that was just jitters and they've got them worked out now....
At least Chubb came to play.
Yes!!! Some positive O!!!
safe play... Baker wanted the home run ball...
Where are Jarvis and OBJ?
good question
OBJ is #13, they are using hime to block cause umm
well that ain't what he does best, HEADSLAP
Baker doesn’t look good. Skittish as hell
Finally running the ball!
2 best RB tandem in the NFL!!!
First and goal at the 2
Chubb and Hunt have broad us to the 2 yard line
Run up the middle Whistle!!!
Before the snap timeout by the bad guys.
Gotta get 7 off this drive
We have two top ten running backs(Chubb is top five) and we should be pounding the rock often.
We are right back in this. TD!!!
Njoku, didn’t he get traded?
That’s a much better drive. Hunt and chubb are going to be the keys to what stefanski wants to do
Alright, looks like we survived the early onslaught.
Same play to the 1 inch line, lots of more pushing pushing and the ravens want to say they got a fumble,
but the whistle I heard it,
Wide open, pass to Njoku
Seriously most 12 year olds could have made that pass and catch
after the fake.
That extra point though...
Son of a biscuit... we have to be the browns on our first TD as well... doinked it
Wow Missed PAT
Of course Seibert missed it.
That’s why we have Cody Parkey in the practice squad.
Yep
Ridiculous how much our ST hurt us seemingly every game
why do we have the same kicker?
priefer one of the best in the league . He’s not the one shanking
That should be the Browns offense this year. Running with the two backs to set up the opportunistic pass. To bad the FG is missed.....in an empty stadium.
Our ST are just a bunch of dudes running around with no sense of purpose
You got to admit that's high comedy.
The team answers and their idiot kicker with blonde highlights misses an extra point in an empty stadium.
He didn't miss the extra point.
Hopefully the missed XP wasn't because the Scottish Hammer hurt himself on the fake and bobbled the hold.
Can we trade a 1st round pick for Justin Tucker
Too much time for Lamar there.
He missed the flippin extra point, he hit the upright
OHH NOO !!!
Oh no a 70 yard pass by the rats.
He didn't miss the extra point.
so far we've got a horrible fake punt... missed extra point... and almost gave up a TD on kick off... and we're in the first quarter... ST coach needs to be fired...
23 can't block on a fake punt or cover a WR
These guys pumping their chests, without the benefit of fans, looks kind of silly.
23 can't block on a fake punt or cover a WR
Or tackle. I’ve seen enough of him.
That was a hell of a pass, unfortunately.
This defense has no speed
This defense has no speed
Stafanski needs to purchase some White Cross.
They are sooooooooo much better than us.
Our Offense Needs to score every possession !!!!
6 to 10, end of 1st half with Baltimore in the lead.
Cant wait to read Eotab what I saw theead so he make excuses for the Browns and he can say the how the Browns can go 15 and 1
This defense has no speed
Stafanski needs to purchase some White Cross.
White claw?
The Browns are completely outmatched.
Also, the atmosphere feels like a lame scrimmage.
This defense has no speed
Stafanski needs to purchase some White Cross.
White claw?
Bahaha
They are sooooooooo much better than us.
There offense has a ton of weapons...
See Lamar roll out and there isn’t a defender within 10 yards
They are sooooooooo much better than us.
There offense has a ton of weapons...
And they brought their whole coaching staff back.
There we go! Big L having a game
The Bright side!
NO Team, has more experience, starting Bad, in a season opener, then the Browns,
and while, historically, none of them have turned out in our favor,
It's a 4 point game, easily able to come back from.
Besides, the Browns just about marched it down the field on their last 2 drives
FUMBLE! BROWNS BALL!!!
WATCH THE O MARCH IT DOWN THE FIELD FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A ROW,
TALKIN ABOUT
Ogunjobi and Garrett suck.
This defense has no speed
Stafanski needs to purchase some White Cross.
White claw?
An amphetamine popular in the 70’s.
Gotta get this offense rolling... come on boys.
Our running game looks pretty sweet.
Hunt is violent runner and chubb runs heavy. They have to hate to see them coming
Hunt is doing well, needs to Break a big one!
You can hear the F bombs with no crowd
Wills looks like he's holding up pretty well so far.
Did Chubb get hurt? Or are they keeping him fresh for later?
our linemen always end up on the ground
Landry to the 48, across midfield 1st down
yep and he has plenty of time. He is just slow making reads and he still has horrible feet
yep and he has plenty of time. He is just slow making reads and he still has horrible feet
+10
Beckham returns to the field, noted, after a play off, noted
forlorn look on his face.
3rd and 10 Hooper 1 yd short, 4th and 1
Roughing the passer A FREAKIN FIRST DOWN
And the Ravens start to play dirty.
Haha wills just bulldogged wolfe
Beckham on the Sideline helmut off.
false start on the motioning receiver set, obvious, Kaderal Hodge
1st and 15
Why the hell is 12 in over 13 and 80
And we were doing so well not getting any penalties.
Took the refs a quarter to get warmed up, but they are playing now.
Anyone else feel obj won’t be here at deadline
a short 1 yd pick out pass to Beckham, for quick walk out of bounds a flag
facemask on Beckham 15 yards negative,
repeat 1st down 30
Shouldn't be a repeat of the down, but their mistake our favor
Anyone else feel obj won’t be here at deadline
Yup I think he is our most overrated player
I’m not sure how much more of baker I can take
Dang, bounced off beckhams one hand, hard 16 yd pass
almost intercepted dropped. lucky break.
2nd and 29
it's a sack their at their own 45, geesh,
Nice blocking, after Baker was on the ground.
3rd and 36, the move here is to draw an automatic first down penalty
Is Higgins hurt or somrthing? Hodge is awful
3rd and 41.... that's just unreal...
3rd and 41 and we get zero yards
3rd and 41. Anyone missing Freddie yet?
should have ran a draw or something on 3rd and that long... hopefully we get a decent punt...
Promising drive ruined by penalties.
thank got there are only 4 downs
I hate broadcast angles when the receivers aren't on the screen.
3rd and 41. Anyone missing Freddie yet?
Is Freddie going to QB?
forgot the delay of game it was actually 3rd ad 41
Punted , the return guy leaves it, a break, downed inside the 3.
3rd and 41. Anyone missing Freddie yet?
You couldn’t miss Freddie in a crowd.
I think the team is better without Beckham on the field
but this goes back to all of last year.
good news is we are still in the game
How we're not already losing eleventy-seventeen to 4, I don't know.
This is just abysmal.
Did anyone else notice how excited OBJ was about that punt and his teammate running to sideline?
ravens getting some breathing room...
man... jackson is so good...
Ward picking up from last year of getting abused
Id trade Beckham for Breshad Perriman straight for the rest of this game and consider it a win, personally
Denzel letting Brown open, or it was the end of his zone
Until we get a qb we will never compete with these guys. We have the weapons they do, just no qb
Our lack of LB is glaring
man... jackson is so good...
I don't think he is, I think it's the organization, sadly
L
How we're not already losing eleventy-seventeen to 4, I don't know.
This is just abysmal.
This will be 24 - 6 at the half.
We are failing well in all three phases.
99 yard drive without breaking a sweat
We are so far away. So far
99 yards. That's what real NFL teams do
they just marched 99 yards....right on down our throats
Time to find out how resilient we can be.
We were always going to lose this game. We never had a chance.
L
How we're not already losing eleventy-seventeen to 4, I don't know.
This is just abysmal.
This will be 24 - 6 at the half.
No way, the Browns are marching down the field every time they get the ball.
Dobbins with a TD,
He's got 3 or 4 carries in his career and a TD, ok 5 carres Ogunjobi smacked him good on his first one.
Well good news is this game will give them false hope and they will get properly smacked playing an nfl team
Mayfield is trash so far.
those of you saying keep lamar in the pocket.
just stop it. he's a real QB. start evaluating him like one. we got to get better DBs
I did warn people that we would probably look disjointed early on.
It's incredibly difficult to install new schemes without physical practices. We lost our entire off-season. I'd be surprised if we looked good.
Some of you guys need to find another team and let us real Browns fans enjoy our team !!!!
A tale of 2 teams. One goes 99 yards in 10 plays, the other has 4th and 41
Why not keep him in the pocket, we can’t get in there.
We are failing well in all three phases.
thank god there are only 3 phases
those of you saying keep lamar in the pocket.
just stop it. he's a real QB. start evaluating him like one. we got to get better DBs
Guy is really good... I'm not sure there's a way to truly stop him... just hope to contain him as much as you can...
You just saw J.K. Dobbins first Touchdown of a hall of fame career, probably.
And you heard it here first.
Headslap.
Need a score here or it’ll get uglier since they get ball
good play to start the drive...
Beckham made a catch, first and 10 at the Browns own 40
Mayfield checking play into a 9 man box to a run ....
weren't we running it down their throats? Averaging 7yrds per carry? And then we went pass happy...hmmmm, I know its week one but we may be entering the 2021 QB derby...
The offense looks better, than I expected, in some ways,
but it's not transferring to points yet.
and if they lose today, it won't make a dirts bit of difference.
Njoku made a catch in coverage that was a punt thrown by Baker
the ball went 20 yards and 27 yards high.
...have we gone actual hard play action yet?
big third down... really hoping we can get 7 to end the half...
Boy Hunt Broke a tackle for the 2nd 4 of those 8 yards on that pass.
That’s what’s going right. Who would have thought?
Terrible timeout.
Can we get one coach that knows how to manage the clock?
Geesh.
Outside of the Njoku TD? Seems to be lots of straight passes or straight runs.
Almost close enough to miss a FG before the half
Almost close enough to miss a FG before the half
Beckham was so worth the money.
Beckham was so worth the money.
He's good for at least 2-3 drops a game...
SON OF A BISCUIT! COME ON
That's why you don't take the timeout!
Siebert is garbage. No reason to see more, cut him and call up parkey
Almost close enough to miss a FG before the half
YOU KNEW
I hope we trade Beckham...dude never comes up with a big play...drops too many passes.
Looks like it will be Parkey soon...
....come on guys.... you're making it hard to stay positive.
OBJ drops a wide open pass on 3rd down for an easy first down and then Seibert biffs the FG.
Garbage.
Drop by Beckham,
I don't like that player.
And I don't like Siebert either oh no that kick was 10 yards wide of the field goal goal posts.
" you just can't have these kind of mistakes in a game against a great team like Baltimore" <radio broadcast
That pretty much sums up how this game is going to go. We simply have no chance when we can’t even do fundamental things
They're are going to score again before the half because wasn't aware he needed to run the clock down.
Camp cupcake.
Probably should have gone for it on fourth down.
Fully expect 24-7 before half
Different coach same self inflicted mistakes
man we are so over matched
damn the lamar's throwing motion is so quick
Jackson is the best qb in the league.
This is easy for the ravens because their practices have them more challenge than we are
Ravens with the 2 minute offense, are at the 20 with
at the 10 with 10 seconds in the half
Almost close enough to miss a FG before the half
YOU KNEW
Been there before, dawg
Jackson is the best qb in the league.
Lol no
Jackson can make any portion of the field his pocket lol
Why do our defenders run down field when jackson rolls out, looking at you vernon
Secondary is complete trash. Jackson will set the all time completion record
And que the TD to the TE again.
Jackson is the best qb in the league.
Not that you could tell from this game. Anyone on this board could hit these receivers. I wonder if they don't understand that Cover 0 doesn't mean not covering any WR.
I don’t like garrett rushing over RT he doesn’t get there. His natural position is other side
...We're going to lose, but at least I started Mark Andrews in fantasy *sigh*
24-6 RATS
Tight ends, 23-6 pending the extra point.
OR GAN iz a tion -
No off-season for a new coaching staff/new systems, and it's hard to look competent early on.
If I’m berry I’m on phone trying to trade obj for some defense
I see no difference between this year and last year
That was all on Stefanski for calling a timeout on 3rd down with 50 seconds left in the clock without running any clock when you have your own 3 timeouts.
Cannot accept stupidty from the head guy.
Joe woods will be one.And done.as DC
Well let's see if the new coach makes good halftime adjustments...
31-6 before we get ball back
This is going pretty much as I thought it would be...
...Tough being a Browns fan.
Stefanski has to answer some BIG questions! This team is trash!
Just like I said....a route
L
How we're not already losing eleventy-seventeen to 4, I don't know.
This is just abysmal.
This will be 24 - 6 at the half.
No way, the Browns are marching down the field every time they get the ball.
Dobbins with a TD,
He's got 3 or 4 carries in his career and a TD, ok 5 carres Ogunjobi smacked him good on his first one.
Way...
might be time to switch games... man...
This is going to be worse than opening day last year
Obj catches that grade school level 2 yard pass and we prob atleast run clock out.
Man this hard to watch knowing the offensive talent we have something is missing somewhere is it Baker I hope not but ...
That was some UGLY football right there.
atleast sam darnold sucks as well...my best silver lining
Man, do we even watch film... Crap... Ravens are doing the same stuff they always do. Not even hard to call their plays!!!... Everyone should be ashamed of themselves... Coach for getting out of his game plan, players for not executing.. Hell, someone please tell Myles Garret to stop rushing too far up the field!!!
This is going to be worse than opening day last year
I disagree only because last year many thought we would be good and superbowl contenders. This season I think most of us knew it would be same old browns.....its still aggravating of course but expected
That was some UGLY football right there.
Against the second best team in the league on the other side.
We all knew this was going to be a beating but damn....this is the worst case scenario. Unorganized, stupid garbage.
That was some no preseason, limited contact in practice football. It's going to be a weird season. Too early to make sweeping declarations.
all I can say is....the same ol' Browns. I know there are some injuries but the offense is not hit as bad, and a pretty healthy Browns offense is not looking good. I expected the Browns defense to look less than good, so, I was and am not surprised by a loss. However, I was expecting to see a Browns offense that looked good, the Browns offense looks like crap. If Baker doesn't improve this season, I would expect we'll be looking for another QB.
I have been rooting for this team since 1963-64, so it's to late to quit rooting for them now, this is 1 game (which isn't over yet) we have 15 more, I will give it time and look forward to Thursday Night against the Bengals
My only hope for today was to not look stupid.
atleast sam darnold sucks as well...my best silver lining
but we could have had Jackson...
Yes, its too early to make declarations but they dont play with passion!!.. Who on the Defense tries to rally the troops. Plus,the best way to slow jackson, is to keep him on the bench.
That was some UGLY football right there.
Against the second best team in the league on the other side.
And but for an OBJ drop .... the game would be very close.
Wills seems like he is fitting right in - have not noticed him much. That's a plus.
