DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2023 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 12 Broncos 29 Postgame Thoughts

Those two plays aren’t why we lost, but they are microcosms of how we continually muffed up today. I’ve already explained my POV on the game. drops, dumb penalties, clown-like execution on a simple reverse. And we probably missed Ward today.

Ward would not have gotten the PI call on the 3rd down play. We had them stopped. That penalty let the Broncos continue to drive down the field for 7.

after that call, we were fighting uphill the rest of the game IMO

j/c...

Newsome was a pretty big disappointment today. Simply could not stay with his man.

Ward might be the biggest loss of the season.

If Myles is now out, we probably aren't making the playoffs.

I don’t know what to tell ya. Get serious convo elsewhere if you must.

Lovely. Great news.

On both calls against Wright, did anyone notice, they never showed him offsides. Both times the replay was from the offensive backfield. You couldn't even see where he was lined up.


This was a team loss. Defense couldn't stop the run, and the offense could score TDs. Newsome was horrible all day. Feilds at LB was terrible. Drops left and right, and at crucial times. Kareem looked hurt, along with Myles, Cooper, Emerson. DTR has a concussion, he won't be playing next week. All the passing early had me throwing fits. I usually don't bash Kevin for playcalls, but this gameplan was not good.

Once again tied with Pittsburgh, and they have a cake schedule from here on out. I see a slide coming, right out of the wild card race.

The game can be summed up by Stefanski and Schwartz got out coached by Payton.

The Browns were due a loss.

On to LA.

Did it pop when he was pushing himself back behind the LOS ?

Yeah, Bolles owned him today.

He got double teamed a lot, but when he got his chances Bolles just took him upfield.

It was very reminiscent of past years Myles without the token, non-impactful sack on a meaningless drive in the second quarter.

Need more from him if this team is going to make the playoffs, even if he is hurt.

Lol. Nice try. You’ll convince some people with that post.

This game can also be summed up by calling out poor execution on O, and bad QB play.
Bring on Joltin’ Joe. At least he can throw it 20 yards with accuracy and some tomato sauce on the toss.

Oh now we are bashing Myles because we lost a game and he didn’t get three sacks?

Not good. My shoulder popped as well 2 months ago. MRI confirmed SLAP tear of my labrum. I go in for surgery tomorrow morning.

Ford: 9 carries for 65 yards .... then we stopped handing him the ball.

Overall, we ran the ball 24 times for 107 yards.

We threw the ball 42 times.

Why?

clear trap game after 2 big division wins, a holiday, with a week in LA pending... Hope DTR is fine.

My questions exactly, it was that bad today for Stefanski. And that's without getting into the reverse to Strong that made absolutely no sense. I like Stefanski but he has these days where he thinks he has to outsmart the other team when all he has to do is keep it simple. Of all days to do this today was not one of them.

..

Did anyone notice, in the 3rd quarter, down near the endzone. Penalty on the Broncos to make it first an goal. Next play, Hunt in the backfield. And for a second or 2, BEFORE the ball was snapped, the "telestrator" showed exactly where Hunt would run? And, he did. I made my wife rewatch it with me.

Hunt in the backfield. Players lining up. And BAM - that yellow telestrator line showed up for a second or so. Ball was snapped, and that's exactly where hunt ran.

This was BEFORE the ball was snapped.

Because Kevin Stefanski is calling the plays. He is sticking to the process. He's not worried about the results.

the Garrett/Ward injuries would be catastrophic. Our defense without Ward was already a massive concern

Yes.

Newsome should have played better though still. Guy is a first round pick.

He really hurt us today.

Yeah, Newsome really showed his colors today as to why we play him where we do. He's not a #1 CB and was exposed (I'd bet his grade will be very poor)

There is no Flacco era coming. He is done but will probably be tossed out there next week.

Last week poster were calling for Ski to be extended… Bad Ski showed up today. The injuries were just insane. With DTR concussed, we’re either Starting the turnover machine or the old timer. Myles is injured. This game was as deflating as the Chubb game. I won’t count them out, but the Donks whipped our asses for 60 minutes. It was a team loss.

Playoffs? Playoffs?????

Not surprising at all.

you bring up a good point: it seems like KS is quite hot and cold. Obviously it's a win/loss league, but some games he seems to REALLY have a feel for how to attack a defense and others it's a head scratcher

Of course, extend him. It isn't a hard decision.

Week together in LA might help circle the wagons

another note: I've been disappointed in Thornhill. I thought he'd finally bring us a solid FS guy and he's really done nothing

Hopefully they have some magical healing there that can heal our team.

Ballpeen disagrees with this take.

Thornhill's tackling makes me sad.

This loss is on Stefanski!

I was at the game, just awful. Constantly hearing Denver fans saying “this is the best defense in the league”? Just an embarrassing performance all around.

You can go ahead and count them out. This season is done.
