Stefanski completely abandoned the run game after a great first drive. Until he stops being arrogant and gives up playcalling we will always fall short

Yea. I guess might as well do the post game.
Whole team didn’t show up today. Offensive line was very offensive to watch. Defense was doing anything but defending.
Stefanski and woods staring on the sidelines with looks of confusion on their faces, as if this wasn’t the gameplay they designed.
And I’m worried about Bakers health.
I really hope Detroit beats Pittsburgh. Cause if they’re winless playing us, they’ll probably get their 1st win.

Since there are 12 minutes to play.
Can the OP please use their time machine to tell me if the Browns will get an interception so I can go get my well drive up to Cleveland to get my Free Arbys's curly fries tomorrow???
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

It seemed like the only times we tried to throw deep, we targeted whomever the NFL interception king was guarding. And man, our linebackers are really the Achilles heel. They just make me so frustrated. We’re stuck with Baker, even though I don’t think he’ll ever be great. But we went 30 years without a QB, so we will have to pay him.

COULD WE EVER GET D'ERNEST JOHNSON A HELMET THE SAME COLOR AS OTHER PLAYERS, It's like they forgot to put the clear coat on the paint job. it's the difference between primer and finished paint.

New England takes their 2nd time out.
DErnest Johnson drives 9 yards Landry carries or screen cathes for about 2. first down at the 22.

Stefanski completely abandoned the run game after a great first drive. Until he stops being arrogant and gives up playcalling we will always fall short This wasn't the issue. We have a QB who cannot raise his level of play when everything isn't perfect around him. Has no idea where to go with the ball when the other team is coached up just a little bit. That interception completely changed the complexion of the game. What a huge decision the Browns have on him. Good rookie year, regression sophomore, good finish to third year, complete regression fourth year. Stefanski is very average. Completely outcoached and outclassed by Belichek today. Did not have his team remotely ready to play. Woods is awful again. Did we blitz once today? Against a rookie QB? Defense was offensive. What a disappointing effort after the Ravens lose. These guys talk about winning a championship? And put out this effort? Against a rookie QB? After their division leader lost? A loss to the Lions is not out of the question. SMH

Another post game thought ...
If the Browns have to play from behind they are toast. That says a lot about your coach and quarterback.
I watched a lot of talking heads this past week. First time all season. I hate watching them when the Browns lose and although we've won a few, we haven't looked very good all season so I've been staying away. There were talking heads that were actually laughing at the thought that Baker Mayfield would play well without Nick Chubb. Like laughing it off as if it weren't possible. Let me say this again...talking heads are laughing at Baker Mayfield's ability to play quarterback at a high level. I really hoped Baker was going to come out and shut them up after last week. Looks like they got the last laugh.

What a disgrace. John Johnson was the worst guy on the defense today. Poor tackling, always going for the ball and letting the runner get five more yards. He was in position many times today and either got juked, or just a piss poor attempt at tackling. Soft coverage all day and piss poor tackling by the whole defensive backfield. No adjustment on defense at the half.
Belichik making a mockery of our "defense". Horrible gameplan on offense. We do not have a #1 receiver and it shows, no one gets open.
Not much else to say except , that this team can't play good two games in a row. They will not make the playoffs, and will struggle to go .500. It is sad. This team can suck the life out of you. A lot of money spent for nothing.
RIP, Jim

I don't know why Johnson gets a ton of hate on here when Anthony Walker has been by far the worst free agent signing of the off season. Guy is so average he's below average. Makes zero plays. Gets consistently dragged on tackles. Completely underwhelming.

The second we lose the lead, we lose the game. Where is the heart? Where is the guts? We fall into a million pieces when the smallest, fixable thing happens. This Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde routine is not a playoff team.

We Know the Ravens, Titans and Bills are going to be in the Playoffs.
the other spots 4 through 13 in the AFC are still in the little vacuum cleaner blowing the ping pong balls around the box of the lottery pick em type thing. Where will the Browns finish.
I wanted to say, before Last week, that spot 13 was that the Colts were clearly out of the mix, but, they got back in it.

As Far as Tie Breaks go, The Patriots, and their record against the AFC... are about #1 with their near flawless AFC record, I'd have to look again.

Right now forget the playoffs. I've been embarrassed many times before by this team but today had to be in the top 5. Living in Pats land and us coming in here and playing like this is atrocious. We did better against them when they had Tom Brady and we shad a lot less talent. TERRIBLE!!!!

heck no. Did you see the plays Walker was making today??
And Mack Wilson was all over the field!! That pass, for 25 yards to Hunter Henry was incomple. If you look at it. and Mack Wlson, (even though the refs didn't see it and ruled it a catch)
and Mack Wilson, made up ground, Dove, Grabbed Hunter Henrys' arm, at the time the ball arrived, so that it was not pass intereference, and pulled Hunter Henry's arm away, so that HH could not grab the ball, and Mack Wilson, continued his grip on HH's arm, through the process of the landing on the ground so that dumb pats player never made the catch, he just pushed the ball into the ground.

The Browns offense faced a situation today, Where, They needed the Big play passing game, that is BEYOND THE DINK AND DUNK,
They needed the Threat of deep passess completed today, and they did not even attempt them.
so. Answer this Question??????????
Is it worse because Anthony Schwartz doesn't offer a deep passing threat, OR
Is it worse that the Browns Scheme doesn't even appear intent on even trying it????

- The only player that looked like they wanted be there today was D'Ernest Johnson.
- Joe Woods ran a dime package with Patriots pinned back inside their own 1 yard line.
- Stefanski called the same garbage play that didn't work the first time on back-to-back plays for losses.
- Completely out-coached....again.
- We're back at the "Baker plays like garbage" in the Baker Mayfield Cycle.
- WRs cannot get separation.
- Landry looks completely disinterested. Just slides down after a catch. Already making business decision knowing he's gone next year.
- OL got beat like a drum.
- Myles Garrett got his token sack.
- Browns were 1-11 on 3rd downs and the Patriots were 7-9.
- Stefanski abandoned the run after the first drive and the Browns got down 14-7. He does this often.
- I've come to accept that Baker is an average to slightly above average QB capable of playing at elite level for a game here and there and then having absolute clunkers. We know who he is at this point. Browns have a tough decision to make.
- This is an 8-9 football team.
- The Browns fall on their face when there are expectations.

What everyone saw today was the difference between a team and organization that has a winning culture and one that does not. We can assemble all the talent we want but until we learn to play and win consistently it will always be like this.
