DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2021 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 14 Steelers 26 Other games

Sorry Deisle, but the so-called Browns fans in the Gameday thread are not the "best damn fans in the NFL". They're pathetic sky-is-falling, hot-take whiners.

I know Dave, I believe it's not those that make the rest of us the best damn fans !

It's a New Years Miracle to see Mike Tirico on SNF announcing, for the 2nd time in this year and the past two decades, Al Micheals can observe a well earned day off and hope all is well. (work life balance)

Antonio Brown needed:

8 more catches to unlock a $333,333 bonus.

He also needed 55 receiving yards to unlock another $333,333 bonus.

He also needed just 1 receiving TD to unlock another $333,333 bonus.

I hope he gets the help he needs. Truly.

Kind of makes me wonder how many concussions he has had..just curious with that type of behavior ..

From profootball talk, Coach asked him twice to go back in the game-When Brown refused the second time, Coach told him to leave the field.

Sunday Night Football. Are the Vikings running the SAME TERRIBLE OFFENSE THAT THE BROWNS RUN, ANDDD

Is (Sean) Mannion running it better than Baker does. (oh my)

Hopefully that's not the case - if so...yikes.

Clowney, hunt and talk are all free agents correct? Doubt we can keep all 3.

Clowney and Hunt are a must to resign if you're Cleveland; Takk you might be able to get for cheap because of his injury.

For those saying the next game means nothing, it does to some people. Pittsburgh is still in the hunt. The browns can end that tomorrow, plus send Ben to retirement being beat by the Browns at home with playoff chances still possible for them. Plus, winning the next two would mean back to back winning seasons. That is something we haven't seen in decades.

Lol.

The stoolers are going to KILL the browns tomorrow. These guys are planing golf trips right now.

This team is a joke and we are as well. Following this crap team despite a never-ending crap sandwich we are forced to eat year in and year out makes us all idiots.

Sounds like it is time for you to move on and follow another team.

Based on the fact that they are almost to the 4th quarter and haven't eclipsed 100 total yards yet, I'm going to say no.

I was thinking we had Kareem for another one or two years under contract but I could be wrong.

Hunt is signed through 2022.

50 years a fan and I feel you. I've told myself to find a new team a thousand times, so I can root for my team in a Super Bowl before I die. But I watched my dad walk away from them, and he basically lost interest over time. But I don't want that either.

If I am not mistaken we signed Hunt to a two-year deal? Might have even been three... almost certain it wasn't just one. Clowney was one. He may not want to come back here. If he has other offers he will likely bolt.

The Bengals sure are for real this year.

To the guy that said he was beaten down and questioned if it will ever get better... We beat the Stealers twice last season AND made the playoffs for the first time in forever... AND beat the Stealers IN the playoffs sending them home and probably ending tiny ben's last playoff chances... It HAS gotten better. We have a good coach and players. We have had a TON of injuries and our QB has a bad shoulder. The sky is not falling. Sometimes a team has some bad luck with injuries. Look at how beat-up our line has been.

I’m really impressed with Cincy as well. They are a HIGH FLYING offense. Great WRs, RB, and QB play. It’s a QB/scoring league … and they can do it with the best of them now

Have you thought maybe being good isnt good enough anymore
At the QB position? Look at the playoff QBs...they are better than
Good. Allen, Burrow, Mahomes, Prescott, Herbert.
Mayfield is a poor mans Andy Dalton.
The Baker vs the world narrative makes a good sound bite
4 years.ago. But its not equating wins
Bakers metrics in.the 4th q. Doesnt lie. He is 32 out of 32
If Baker Mayfield and Joe Burrow switched teams
Which team would be in playoffs?

the Bengals.

Yep it sucks they won but the actual game was REALLY good... Right down to the wire.

Come on Browns fans! At the very least we don't suck anymore. I'll take average over 0 & 16 any day of the week.

It's better to laugh then cry about it.



Oh that hurts but it is funny!

I agree, as long as he knows coming in that Baker is the starter game #1. Gotta let it play out.

Baker had a bad year this year... likely due to injuries but also some bad mechanics... who ever they bring in at QB should have every chance to be the starter... no player should be given the job unless their last name is Rodgers or Brady

You may be right.

But, barring a new coaching staff, implementing a new offense or something else that would put a new backup on equal footing with Baker going in to TC (none of which will happen), we should probably let a healthy Baker have the season to prove himself one way or the other.

Announcing it's an open competition with a new backup acquisition with someone like Trubisky is looking for trouble on a lot of different levels (imo). Gotta let it play out. And if the #2 QB happens to play at some point during the season and shines, all the better if we decide to go a different direction in 2023.

Baker will ask to be traded the minute 'competition', real or perceived, is brought in. He's not wired to accept that. And he's not wired to actually win a QB competition. Baker is at his best when he's an unquestioned alpha. Unquestioned alpha + low expectations = rookie Baker and the rookie TD record. Expectations and competition = 2019 and 2021 Baker.

Probably best scenario is stick with Baker and if they want to cut Keenum's salary, draft a guy in the middle rounds.

Under that scenario I also sign Allen Robinson and Gallup (not sure about the injury now) and draft a WR in the 1st or 2nd round.

I agree. If you're bringing in actual competition just pull the plug and move in. It would prove disastrous.

Gallup is a guy I would have really liked to see them bring in via FA. Today it was confirmed his ACL was torn. Bummer.

Berry built the OL in year 1, the defense in year 2. This offseason his focus should be on building the passing game.

Yeah - he only walked on at both Texas Tech and Oklahoma and won the starting QB positions at each, but he's not wired to accept competition.

It's really ironic if you go look at the coaching staff they have assembled.. HC was a QB coach that got Jared Goff into the pro-bowl in 2018... 2 years later they were trading him and he's all but out of football. OC is a QB coach that got Derek Carr to the pro-bowl in 2018...

Our HC got Kirk Cousins to a 3600 yard season and our OC coached Andy Dalton before they got rid of him and drafted Joe Burrow..

You know if Rishuz says anything positive about Baker he will turn to dust and blow away in the wind like a vampire in the sun.

lmao !!

I hear you. That's why I logged off of here after posting that slew of posts the other day (my bad, btw). We're all fans, we're all frustrated, and that's the way I lash out. Not productive.
