DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Looking Back: Browns 10 Jaguars 34 Post game thoughts....

He's unemployed because the Browns owned him for another year. Just because he quit, doesn't mean he can go coach another team, while the Browns retain his services for 2026.

List the options at QB in the 2026 off season that would have made this past Sunday better. Sanders? Maybe, still not sold.

Off the roster? Who would have made that giant leap to even a 3 point loss instead of a 24 point loss?

This team was lost and unless they look more like a professional team 17 weeks from now, I will do what I have never done before, champion a one and done for Monken. He preached the penalty issues of the past will be gone.. well, that was a fail, among many other issues...

I certainly won't dismiss your point here. I don't know if it's accurate or not but I can certainly see how someone may arrive at that conclusion.

I would say it's most likely one of two things. Either your opinion is correct and this entire team quit as soon as they was any sign of adversity or this coaching staff had them totally unprepared to take the field.

I mean when it comes to the O I get it somewhat. I wasn't expecting much from them because of the many reasons that have been posted. But I mean it was really, really ugly.

The D is a different animal all together. They took a HUGE step backwards! And what we know from witnessing last season as bad as that was, is that the talent on this D is much better than what we saw on the field against the Jags.

So on one hand we have to think or believe this team as a whole lacks any motivation at the first sign of adversity and they will just roll over and play dead. As I said above that's certainly a possibility. But at the same time that would indicate we have no leaders on this roster. No players that can rally the troops. And we would also have to believe that the players on this roster became pros and to the NFL level with no fortitude to fight back.

Or we would have to believe that this coaching staff lacks the ability to properly prepare and motivate this team at the fist sign of trouble.

I'm not sure which one would be worse.

I'm not giving up on Monken yet ... if things continue over the season like this then I'll be right there with you. In fact I think another 3 or possibly 4 games is enough to expect to see a difference in many aspects ... #1 amongst them being preparedness and not looking like the team doesn't have a clue.

Bone said it best,upper management considers this a wasted year.Just as championship teams start from the top down,so do losers.I don't expect to see much difference at all this year,or next for that matter.
Off topic here,but I just received an add about a Browns whiskey glass on sale.That's good marketting.

Did they also have an ad for Brown's anti depressants?

When combined, you could have a much better experience than the rest of us.

Yes! Just don't purchase the Browns-branded rope and chair.

That was a good one!

Is it possible the team in general just doesn’t like Watson and really doesn’t want to play for and with him?

That's not really in anyone's own best interest.
