DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2018 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 42 Raiders 45 Postgame thoughts

I feel like I aged ten years. I hate this team. Please let this stop.

We should have been in victory formation with 1:32 left after Carlos ran for the first down, how do you overturn that??

We won the game. Refs said we didn't, whatcha gonna do? At least I'll have more time on Sundays now that I have no hobby to enjoy anymore

Good question. There is no answer.

Remember that band aid we put on the special teams?

Worst reversal on a call I ever saw..

That sucked.

If our receivers didn't drop so many passes and our defense had more pop today, we would have beat the Refs.

Our st is crap.

Can anyone return kicks? Cuz pepper's can't.... Teams are willing to kick it short because they have no respect for our returners.

Bad call reversal.

Hue Jackson and his staff got severely outcoached. He has the talent, what's the excuse now?

Bingo. Play better than the refs ref. We dropped a ton of passes, had more dumb penalties, and our special teams was terrible for the fourth game in a row.

I know I will put this in perspective soon, because at least we're not a doormat and we DO have a QB. But man, this team breaks your heart.

Not only that, but we constantly get penalties on special teams. And we can't cover punts.

Questionable calls and a defense that can't cover TEs. When Mitchell went down the Raiders took off. Our special teams coverage is abysmal


I hate Peppers on kick returns. Let the ball go out of the endzone or down it. He gets stopped short of the 20 constantly.


Carr's fumble was as much of a bad call as the one that said Lynch was down in the first quarter. Taking away the first down was total crap. On their last big return, a blatant block in the back was front and center and no call.


I don't think I can stand to watch this team anymore. Giving up huge plays every time they get the lead. SAME OLD BROWNS.

No words.

We won that game... screw the refs....

Baker made some rookie mistakes but played well enough to win....defense ran out of steam... we had a [censored] call on the fumble and [censored] call on the third down thwt should have iced the game,,

On a positive note, the QB looks to be pretty good.

With a blank check? ( shrug )

Robbed

Lying, cheating pieces of shart.

you are what your record says.
refs made a bad call. whoopie fizz..you go to the next play.

a criminal offense IMO

That one hurts because it was cheated away

No, we're 4-0, screw the refs. But actually it's the refs screwing us every week. If I'm Haslam, I'm suing the f'ing league.

I didn't like the attempt at a reverse in the first quarter with Calloway, on third down. Just pound it straight ahead.

I thought going for the two-pointer after our first TD was stupid.

I hope Mitchell is ok but that looked like a dislocated or busted wrist.


Baker had rough patches but he's going in the right direction.
We got hosed today by the reversal of Carlos's first down run. I won't change my mind on that.

A bad call?!?! It was a horrible friggin call that I find called right we kneel down and get the hell out of dodge...I get thwt you have to step up but man... after that call how demoralized do you think the team was.... and how much momentum did the raiders have...

Tyrod Taylor was the 8th quarterback Hue Jackson can't win with.

Will Baker Mayfield be the 9th quarterback Hue Jackson can't win with.

42 points,
2 break away hundred yard runs by the rookie rb chubb.

you created 2+ turnovers in the first half for your advantage.

I think

The Browns will never win a game with an even or negative turnover ratio as long as Hue Jackson is head coach,
even if it is 6 years.

They simply have to have a major turnover advantage to compete.

The Browns defense is really good
especially if all the cornerbacks stayed healthy.

I feek sad for our team that they overturned that call and coxt us a win!!!

once again our D cant get a stop when we need it (even though we shouldn't have needed it)

Do you even watch football?

[/quote]

how much momentum did the raiders have... [/quote]
as much as the officials could give them

good teams overcome bad calls.
bad teams fold.

I know Baker turned it over, but IMO they all weren't on him

ST needs a new Boss.
We axed the Kicker.... now it needs to flow uphill.

That was many bad calls after starting the game over.

My thoughts? we won too bad the Oakland refs played today too

1) Some of the bad calls against the Browns were really awful. Overturning the spot for the 1st down at the end of the game just unreal.

2) Offense made some big plays today. Big throws and big rushes. Over 200 rushing yards before getting to OT.

3) Offense also had problems. Seemed to struggle to move the ball at times and convert on 3rd down. Dropped passes. Some errors.

4) Defense had problems today. You know it really seemed like the defense got noticeably worse after EJ Gaines got hurt. Did he ever come back in the game?

Losing this game hurt. It hurt more than losing last year because last year I was just numb. This year there is hope again, for the first time in a while and this was a winnable game that felt like it was ripped away.

I just hate this feelng

You are blaming the special teams for the loss?

More agenda BS.

Baker played a good game with some mistakes.

Drops.

Bad calls, early whistles, crappy spots.

Less than average D play from our D.

Coordinators calling plays on both sides of the ball like high school coaches.

Horrible special teams play.

And we still go to overtime.

This was a hard game not to win, Hue almost disappointed expectations.
