DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2019 NFL Season Looking Back: Bye Week Other Games

Bye week ahead ... so now we gotta root against the Ravens.

They go to Seattle and it’s a game we need them to lose

Not sure why this posted in this forum ... I tried to post in the BYE week forum?

Refs, could you move for me please ... thank you

KC vs DEN tonight ... gimme KC in a semi-rout

Joe flacco needs to stop pretending he’s an nfl qb

Great qb... will be interesting to see how the chiefs do without him

Not well.

There are about 2000 typos in that brilliant post.

Hoping his injury isn’t very serious ... Broncos OL is complete trash (and so is Flacco lol)

Against a horrible Chiefs defense.

Joe Flacco looks done.

He was done last year. And then John Elway traded for him even though he has a ton of guaranteed money left on his contract.

Amazingly accurate, all things considered.

Man Denver is horrible...... love it!!!!!

Watch Denver play well against us in a few weeks, but I think they’re a BAD team. Plus, they seemed checked out of it

Waiting to hear the results of the MRI on Mahomes. I knew something "popped" back into place -- his kneecap was on sideways.

You wanna see a terrible offensive line? Look at Denver's. I don't care how formidable KC's front seven is, that pocket crumbled on every play.

Flacco played the 4th not giving a crap in the world what happened. You could see it in his face, his demeanor and nearly every throw. Things not looking too good in Denver.

Yeah, Denver was embarrassing last night from an OL standpoint and from an effort standpoint

I think the MRI for Mahomes is scheduled for noon today. Good call on Denver's OL and Flacco. His body language irritated me. Passionless.

Sucks the Browns are at 2-4 with a possible Mahomes season ending injury.

Sometimes I wonder if we will ever get this thing turned around.

Trying to be too negative, but I agree ... it was there for the taking this season, especially our division.

No Mahomes, no Big Ben, Cincy stinks, I still don't know what the hell Lamar Jackson is, Patriots don't have the weapons they used to...

Eh, I get on people for being a broken record on here, but I do it too...and my latest one is this will never get turned around until the coaches and players put the Browns first. When you finally recognize your obligation isn't to yourself but to the organization and fanbase to just win, I think we'll see a change. Until then, it's going to be more of the same.

Yeah I agree .. it’s gotta be a sense of pride and urgency. I think that’s what Freddie means about being a TEAM too

I honestly would not have been surprised if Flacco had decided to retire during halftime.

They had just won two games, scored an opening drive TD, and then to go that flat that quick at home. I thought our team was brittle.

Just to piggyback about what I mean about putting the Browns first...

At the end of the half against Seattle, Freddie was in such a hurry to score and get the ball back and show the world how smart he was, he lost sight of the fact that his job isn't to show the world how smart he is but to win the game. It's selfishness like that that will derail a game and even a season.

I'm not even sure I believe his reason for rushing at the end of the half. He could have just made that up to save face. In either case where was the focus on winning the game? Hard workers, smart game plans, and smart decisions. That's what this team needs.

I really hope we can get this turned around this season. Part of the reason we don't have people that put the Browns first is because we've built a culture of constant turnover. We don't need anymore turnover.

I really wish Freddie would have lied and said “We thought the hurry up had them on their heels and we could score easier” ... at least then it would have been less of an issue

Freddie dropped the ball hard, he showed up for the first game in the season like he was coming from a vacation...

Played the first games like it was pre-season, so IMHO, he just has to shut up and put in the hard work he should have putted since the start.

He and all the team. We can and should tolerate mistakes, but sloppy attitudes, buying into the hype without having proved nothing, that's what disgusts me the most.

What we are seeing now he saw every day... yet he chose to keep on ignoring the lack of discipline and the disrespect for the fundamentals... that's on coaching and management first.

He really does. That was one rough game for him last night.

BTW, I noticed Ogbah making a few plays last night (batted down two balls of course)

Would love to have Zeitler, Ogbah, and Peppers. Sometimes just standing pat is ok.

Yes, these days the Chiefs are the Browns West.

I was just thinking the other day that this year's SB is going to be the two that sucked the least instead of the two best.

All of the teams are being parted like the Red Sea so that we can walk into the Superbowl. Now if only our coaches can somehow download Bill Belichek's brain and become smart.

Need to call a good Russian hacker to do it. I'm sure it can be done since... Belichick isn't human.

Over Vernon and OBJ? Really?

I think the mistake was not getting a better O-lineman to replace Zeitler, but that's unrelated. We missed on Corbett, wish we drafted 1 more just to be safe, but every GM makes mistakes. I'm sure he'll get a couple guys this off season.

I always liked Ogbah, but for whatever reason he underachieved here. I'm glad he's somewhere he can succeed and we have a high quality guy to replace him.

Peppers just isn't anything special as a safety and was terrible as a return man. Like most ex-Browns I wish him all the best but do not miss him.

I think we have to remember that we’d also have a first round OT most likely as well, so that evens it out a bit too

j/c:

I think the trades were fine. The bashing of Dorsey is kinda lame. This roster is soooooo much better since he took over. The criticism is not warranted because you can point to things in isolation, but it is much more wise to look at the sum of the whole rather than the parts.

Why? Without OBJ wouldn’t we have drafted a WR? Though I wouldn’t be mad at having Metcalf + Zeitler.

Hopefully OBJ ‘goes off’ soon and makes it clearly worthwhile

We all need to be huge Seahawks fans this week. We really don't want Baltimore to win another.
