Seems like a make or break game
Seems like a make or break game
Agree. The Browns need this win to even think of contending for AFC North which will probably be the only ticket for them into the Playoffs.
Seems like a make or break game
Yes and no. I think we win, and we control our destiny again, we lose, and we will need a ton of help to make the playoffs.
Drew Brees predicts a Browns victory! I like it!
Game Time, on Game "Night" after 8 pm when the Sun Sets at 6 pm.
A night to Remember!
think it'd be very, very tough to make playoffs if we lose... especially if we continue to play awful on offense...
with a healthy backfield I think we have a chance
i freaking hate Baltimore
Our lack of linebackers and quality receivers are going to get exploited I feel. As well as Joe woods. Hoping to be surprised but nothing we’ve seen the last few weeks should make anyone feel good about this game. Starts and ends truly with running the ball and controlling the clock and stopping Lamar
Dang, where’s Al Michaels? 👎🏻
I like the road whites...good start.
Nothing worse than cringeworthy Faith Hill opening!
oh wait yes there is,
it is the even more cringeworth close up on ...
OH MY GOSH , It's a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
All the same hope (Al Micheals, is well.)
i freaking hate Baltimore
Agreed
I don't have any problems with our talent, albeit not perfect - my lack of confidence is the coaching staff's game plan and adjustments (or lack of). I haven't seen any layer of consistency that inspires faith in them.
bad decision... just take the touchback
Our kick returns are really really bad. Just down it
Landry for 11 … and we start in the hurry up
holy cow that got blown up
Welp, we had a big time tell with that play … Baltimore all over it
Looks like they had us scouted well
We got this game tonight guys!!!
Great protection, pass and catch
Baker looking solid so far!
Dang it! little high but should have had it
Come on DPJ (it’s as a tad high)
Good to see juice and baker with some rhythm
DPJ... I think we got good Baker tonight.
That’s such a crappy crappy play IMO … i hate the fades
Baker is the worst fade thrower in nfl. I’ve never seen him throw a good one
We just cant catch a break
As Yukon Cornelious says, "Nuthin."
THE 40 MPH CROSSWIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man... that drive had promise...
DANG IT... Hooking Field Goal kicker
Well, Chase will help Baltimore NOT get behind.
Well looks like we still don’t have a kicker. Our ST as a unit is abysmal
The throw was fine. DPJ couldn’t beat his man
Coming out and not establishing the run was a mistake
DPJ drop on 5 yard line...one of those "little things" that hold us back.
The throw was fine. DPJ couldn’t beat his man
He ran that route like OBJ. Same result too.
Jesus...not looking promising
I figured chase was not as food as he actually looked earlier in season when weather was nice. He struggles in wind
Did everyone see that Football Curve after it reached height??
The 40 mph Crossswind in that God Forsaken Stadium, I mentioned that, before the kickoff of opening day,
it was witnessed on Parkey's misses in this God Forsaken stadium in 2020 also.
It's about time the NFL did something to those rat ###!
The drive was killed by DPJ .. and here comes the ravens
Coming out and not establishing the run was a mistake
Suck off with your stupid game thread takes.
Lol yeah truth hurts huh
who is the Spy on that punk Lamer Jackson
Garbage play call and garbage throw on 3rd and 6. Garbage field goal kicker.
It just seems like this offense can’t get any momentum and keep it like last year
Finally get him in the backfield
Okay myles is quadruple teamed
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Lay his ass out defense!!
Need to hit Lamar like that a lot.
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Bro why always a “but” after good plays
Can our defense get off the field
Lay his ass out defense!!
And then do it again.
Losing Bozeman would be big
This dog Christmas commercial will get old lol
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Bro why always a “but” after good plays
Have you seen this defense on third down this year?
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Bro why always a “but” after good plays
Man, you know. He could have his bowl filled with sunshine and would still be looking for the turd in it.
Can our defense get off the field
THEY GOT A STOP THEY GOT A STOP
WOO HOOO! They got a stop!
Lol everyone in this thread are iggied..lol
Looks like reinjured foot
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Bro why always a “but” after good plays
Good sack but problem is it wasn’t on 3rd down. We’ve seen this before
Bro why always a “but” after good plays
Man, you know. He could have his bowl filled with sunshine and would still be looking for the turd in it.
Lol. He could win the lottery and whine about the color of the envelope the check came in.
3rd and long … we better not live in this situation
Bradley?? … injury for conklin
Uh oh … he looks very injure
Conkilin might have hurt elbow again
Why the heck couldn't Mayfield just throw it away on that first down play...
What the heck is going on in those situations where he never does, it was 1ST FREAKING DOWN, Remember the interception in the
opening day game against KC
Same decision to not throw it away on broken play on 1st down.
Man that looks bad... leg... not elbow
That’s doesn’t look good. Geez
That's the season for Conklin.
At least we had Conklin back for a drive and a half.
And that's why you should have sat him until after bye. Now he is probably done long term
At least Conklin thought so
I guess some guy named Blake will be coming in.
We really have missed Hubbard this year too. Irreplaceable player for us
And that's why you should have sat him until after bye. Now he is probably done long term
It’s a leg injury. How would sitting him until the bye for his elbow help with a leg injury?
And that's why you should have sat him until after bye. Now he is probably done long term
this makes no sense. He hurt leg this time. Not elbow
OMG.. Conklin is done!!...
We are throwing on first down every time
Playcalling has been meh. Almost like stefanski wants to prove baker is ok
Damn we got pass happy quick
We have to get settled down here … we aren’t the chiefs
Finally got a PI call... I know Baltimore is really good at stopping the run.... but we need to run more..
Mr. Stefanski still does not get it!!... Run the ball at Baltiimore...
Pass interference defense. automatic 1st down
1st Down Browns!
Joy to the World!
Flag on us … why didnt DPJ move back?! He’s in the tank
I guess some guy named Blake will be coming in.
Uhhg
So far DPJ isnt helping us at all
I was screaming at the TV to move back
Dpj is overrated. Rather have higgins atleast he knows where to line up
that formation penalty killed this drive
This offense is mind numbing
We need to start hitting deep.
This offense simply cant play behind the sticks
Take the under. These guys can’t move the ball.
I saw baker hitting guys in the hands and balls not being caught...
I pray during the bye they finally take the play sheet away from stefanski. None of his playcalling makes sense and certainly doesn’t have a flow
Can we not throw the damn ball down the field??? Seriously!
That penalty crapped up this drive... But Stefanski has to run it at Baltimore!... for some reason, he does not get it.. Run Draw plays and counters
We’ve called an awful lot of pass plays thus far
I swear our rushing attack is the top in league despite our coach. I dunno why he just passes so freaking much
Does baker have authority to audible. Doesn’t look like he checks out of plays much if at all
He’s trying to outsmart them by doing something NO ONE would do.
If Baltimore scores and Stefanski goes pass again this game is over.
I swear our rushing attack is the top in league despite our coach. I dunno why he just passes so freaking much
Yep he gets pass happy at first sign of adversity
In that scrambling situation,
that we see, 19 times in a half.
would it hurt, when dude has all that new space after leaving the pocket, to umm
every now and then just chuck it for a 50 yard drop in, like a punt, to a spot, and then your WR's could know to run under it.
It might work one time.
Or, OR, or, if it is on 1st down anyways, maybe umm, just throw it out of bounds, (now I know that won't help on 3rd or 4th down.)
Stefanski s play calling is questionable this year to say the least.
Baltimore's weakness is its D backfield. So, the game plan is probably pass happy.
Woody Hayes used to say, "Three things happen when you pass, two of them are bad."
We seem so disjointed on offense. Just nothing to hang our hat on when we cant run it
Penalties, Unorganized mess.
Swish are you friends with Stefanski ? He's listening to your advice.. Tell him run run run run...
Are you freaking kidding me …
Wasn't there a whistle before that play?
We had 12 or 13 men on the field on that play.
BOger always has a game in disarray
any hockey games on ? the nfl really sucks !
What the heck is going on
This is a complete disaster
How the hell do you have 12 men on the field after a damn time out
What in the world am i watching
How the hell do you have 12 men on the field after a damn time out
There's zero excuse for that... seriously... how do you have 12 guys on the field out of a time out?!??!?
Baltimore is literally baiting us into this … we are biting
Lamar Jackson is getting absolutely blown up so far.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I hear Benny Hill music.
What a dumb play McDowell
What a joke...What a clueless Bunch on D.
We need to cut 58. Every game several penalties
2nd or 3rd time he did that this season
We need to regain composure.
Some good defense ruined by a couple stupid penalties...
Yeah McDowell is not a good player
Garrett needs to set his edge
We are playing stupid, undisciplined football.
Oh Boy , what happned there,
McDowell just reached out and touched Jackson after the white ,
But Lamar Lame, Jackson took a Soccer players dive like he got, well like he took a dive, what classless play.
3rd down … right where they want us
I bet they turn off the 40 mph cross wind for these punk kicker loser other team
Please, the D has done a decent job on Jackson so far
3-0 Baltimore … gifted them 3
Good defense! I will celebrate when Justin Tucker retires
I wish we had a competent field goal kicker.
We need to cut 58. Every game several penalties
wish we could cut you!
8 quarters
one of them 1/2 over
Defense is playing plenty good right now. Stop with the self inflicted wounds and we are in good shape provided stefanski remembers how to call plays like last year
Tucker is a Hall of Fame kicker!!... We just need a competent kicker
Let’s get the run game going!
THAT IS THE UGLIEST DOG I'VE EVER SEEN!
His kick...flags straight down....our kick flags blowing hard left and we miss left.....hmmmm
I love that this Nationally televised game has all the homer hallmarks of a local radio broadcast.
Tucker the dog.
Is only one team playing tonight?
There we go! Welcome back Hunt
This is just dumb. What do our coaches even work on
OMG.. Stefanski called a run
Is there an award for worst coach of the year?
Or the coach who didn’t realize we had 12 players on the field after a time out.
Finally hunt . Missed him. He’s like a sledgehammer to chubbs precision blade
Is there an award for worst coach of the year?
Who is it named after?
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.....
Freddie called a decent game for the Giants today.
Or the coach who didn’t realize we had 12 players on the field after a time out.
that according to the officials they consulted we shouldn't have had to call the timeout
Is only one team playing tonight?
Kind of has that feel... the once Browns playing the now Browns ..
Stefanski dont get it.. Run at Balt.. when you run sideways on them, that is what they want...
Yes, run to the right where your stud tackle just went down again. smh
Just checking in to say it would be nice if we could pass.
surprised they didn't try a long pass
So now we are going to be unbalanced the other extreme
Baker is a deer in the headlights
He literally is just looking at the rushers
Baker needs to make decisions a lot faster
Wills is getting annihilated
wtf Baker throw the ball Landry was wide open
BAD DECISION BAKER, 2 CONSECUTIVE PLAYS
BAD DECISION TAKING BAKER WITH THE TOO QUICKY TO GIVE UP ON THE POCKET.
Yea... everyone wants to talk about how Baker is a problem... Stefanski is a huge problem....
Our STs is killing us too
Baker is not good. Between he and stefanski all the magic from last year gone. We might not score
Blake Hance is pretty bad.
Is there an award for worst coach of the year?
Hue is it named after?
Fixed it!
Conklin should have not been allowed to play until after bye week. Now he is lost for season. Thats on stefanski and medical staff
I would never wish an injury on anyone. That said, I wouldn't cry if Lamar had to leave the game early.
I know Baker might not be able to do it... but we need to try a roll out OR go 3TE and play some big boy football.. Balt has speed on their D but they are not big with C.Campbell out
Just checking in to say it would be nice if we could pass.
We can't even execute a down field pass completion.
IF BAKER CAN'T STAND IN THE POCKET...
and he only makes low percentage one option same sideline throws,
everytime he's flushed out of the pocket because he is seeing phamtom pressure,
THEN He's a bad Option at QB
So Bench him!
Anybody seen Nick Chubb?
Only one of the best rb in the league
There’s the benefit of JOK
Anybody seen Nick Chubb?
Only one of the best rb in the league
Saw him drop a pass or two...
Baker’s an issue right now. He’s literally looking at the pass rush instead of down the field
A big difference: they are 3rd and short, we are 3rd and long
I dont think so … they gave him the spot, but man that looked short
4th and inches and they got it by an inch.
If we go down 10-0 it might be good night
Defense needs to shut this down
JOK made more plays this game than walker all year
We have to force a turnover
Clowny quietly having a good night
Sombody needs to get into Bakers' head.
Those flushed from the pocket too early plays are a bad look, and bad decisions are made after it.
Baltimore knows who they are on offense they are going to stick to it. Be a good lesson for stefanski
Porter Gustin, with his first snaps of the year?
OMG.. Garrett was not even close to that play
Baltimore knows who they are on offense they are going to stick to it. Be a good lesson for stefanski
Exactly
It’s what I always say about MG, great pass rusher but meh as a DE. He over pursues on run plays and gets lost on options
I’m tired of seeing Walker slowly running at poor angles
Feels like this one is inevitable
Bad that the Wide open bad guy, or the other wide open bad guy
couldn't come down with the pass from the free standing qb bad guy.
Harrison is down like always
Outside of JOK we have zero speed at Lb
We need DT, LB, and WR very badly
This game feels like it’s about to be over. As is the season.
10-0 would be really hard to come back from
Feels like we’ve barely had the ball
Harrison is down like always
Honestly. Screw that guy. He’s either hurt or committing a stupid penalty.
How did Miami with a bunch of nobodies on D stop these guys???
When we did have the ball: drops, penalties, 3rd and longs, poor play calling, poor QB play
Baltimore knows who they are on offense they are going to stick to it. Be a good lesson for stefanski
Exactly
But Stefanski is not the Browns Quarterback, so if the Browns Quarterback gets skiddish, and follows it up with a bad decision 20+ times a game, it's going to be ugly.
This game feels like it’s about to be over. As is the season.
It does
How did Miami with a bunch of nobodies on D stop these guys???
A real coach
Is this going to be one of those games where we have more injuries than points?
How unaware is McDowell?!
Yup, real coaching puts players in the best positions to succeed.
I remember when we had Gregg Williams as our DC and he made a whole bunch of scrubs look awesome.
This is going down a very very bad path right now … clowney down
How did Miami with a bunch of nobodies on D stop these guys???
8 men (9, or more) on the line of scrimmage, rushed the Qb w2ith small quick guys in the gaps between the OL,
and forced quick throws that were dropped, or just confused the purple guys.
Does our D coord know they are at the goal line...
I’m so so tired of walker
Man if only we had a running attack like Baltimore. Oh wait…. If only we had a good coach that recognized we have a good running attack like baltimore
Walker is the worst fa signing in recent memory
Yeah, walker is quite bad
It's time to kick the field goal.
Ok offense. Do something.
Still a 1 score game; good D effort so far tonight.
Let's go O...Baker needs to bring that Boomer Sooner $###...
What a stand D!!!
Wake up Bake and Stefanski.
Do something Offense
Need something positive to end this half on with the offense...
You are wrong so often, why don't you just quit? Most people would be embarassed.
How did Miami with a bunch of nobodies on D stop these guys???
8 men (9, or more) on the line of scrimmage, rushed the Qb w2ith small quick guys in the gaps between the OL,
and forced quick throws that were dropped, or just confused the purple guys.
And thy knocked some passes down with their DE's like Myles just did there.
Good job D, held them to 3, after a 1st and goal.
7 quarters to go, against this stinky smelling opponent.
You can’t ask the defense to keep them scoreless. Two fgs when you’ve done nothing on offense is plenty. Start playing like you freaking care and understand what’s on the line
IF 6-0 feels like 40-0.. then you need help.... we are still in this.. if Stefanski/Baker wake up.
Stefanski is feeling like its the Ravens 35 and the browns 0 so pass pass pass got to get caught up
Well we stopped them by an inch JF … good job D!
I’m usually right tho about our team’s future more than most
Whatever happened to that Baker Mayfield
who planted the flag at buckeyes stadium.
Good job Bryant .. but he loos injured
Great pass... Bryant hurt..
I swear our team is made of glass
What in the hell are we doing?
WITH ALL OF THIS TALENT,
Harrison Bryant is the #1 option more times than not.
who knew!
Who *Keebler elves make* in knew!
Our whole strength staff needs scrapped. Or the program needs over hauled. It’s crazy
OMG... we just dont think..
I hate our offense so much
tI hope the Landry at QB crap is over.
I’m good with firing stefanski . Dude is just not the guy. I see very little difference
I totally hate that play call
THE OFFNSE AIN'T COMPLIMENTING ANYBODY
Another great call Stefanksi.
Give it up
STUPID !!! just afraid to pound the damn ball
Defense has a whole play off
This is not a good half of football
As I’ve said, we have to start giving Stefanski the heat we give woods or baker.
Thank god one unit came to play
That Landry Qb call was atrocious
Well we are back to where we started
let's just stick with baker passing and Landry catching...
As I’ve said, we have to start giving Stefanski the heat we give woods or baker.
I have been saying thatl.. This mess is Stefanski all over it and the media acts like he does not call the plays
Stefanski turning into the NFL version of John Cooper...always outsmarting himself.
Offense needs to play pissed and aggressive . Seems that’s when we are at the best
I'm tired of seeing the show,
that one where Stefanski calls plays and Baker runs them.
I've got to hide my eyes and hope for the best.
One thing I’ve noticed: when we play these top tier teams we seem to lose our brains and do things that are not even our identity
When your team has twelve men on the field two plays in a row including during a timeout and no coach on the field or in the press box notices . . . Which is why you called a timeout.....
[quote=THROW LONG.
I've got to hide my eyes and hope for the best.[/quote]
Sounds good.
They are run blitzing the crap out of us
Still the first half.. down by 6 not 21 run the ball wear down the d then in the 4th play your kimmick plays or just play good straight up ball
Ski has to stop with his cute-at sandlot BS playcalling. Nice pick by Ward, but the coach can efoff with that horse hockey.
Well we are back to where we started
thanks to D Ward, thanks to the defense.
this defense ought to be leading by 12.
The offense isn't complimenting anybody.
UGGGGGH!! Charlie Brown and Lucy!
need a touchdown to end this half
One thing I’ve noticed: when we play these top tier teams we seem to lose our brains and do things that are not even our identity
Would you mind letting the rest of us know what our "identity" is? LOL
About time for a PA up the seam
You can go now Kevin, I think any of us could call a better game with the talent you have.
At least Baker ;put the ball there on that one, with a guy in his face
that was a good decision on that long pass on the 2.
We aren’t helping ourselves at all
Worst formation in our playbook is empty
how was that long ball not a PI?
son of a b that was close
Our kicking game is very sketchy right now
We will take it... But this dude has to adjust his kicks
Outside of landry every single wr we have could easily be upgraded
Barely made it.
With all the crap going on, we’re down 3, should be tied
Way to go,
McLaughlin with his strong leg, powered that kick right down the middle
Right down the middle with enough power!!!!
to power through that 40 mph cross wind!!
Way to go Browns Kicker, NFL needs to disband the raven franchise for cheating!!!!!!!!!!
Hunt comes back, we get pass happy and don't run Chubb. Mind numbing
I agree w/Collinsworth: stop targeting Humphries
Down 3 with how bad stefanski has called the game on offense is a testament how atleast one side of the ball realizes this is a division and rival game with playoff implications .
Hey.. again .. looking at the stats, we have only tried to run 9 times.. for 17 yards... WHO SHOULD WE BLAME??
I like going deep to Njouku, but on a LB or Safety
Not one of the best corners in the game
Stefanski called a crap half of football.
The honeymoon is over w him as a play caller
Outside of landry every single wr we have could easily be upgraded
How is Schwartz doing?
He is not even playing tonight, this is the 3rd division game, and he has all of
FOURTEEN YARDS IN A DIVISION GAME ALL YEAR, Schwartz.
whatever!
The Offense... Raises bloodpressures
Well we stopped them by an inch JF … good job D!
I’m usually right tho about our team’s future more than most
But you make so many posts, even if you're right most of the time, you have an awful lot of
negative posts stated as fact that are just wrong. Guess which ones really stick out?
Outside of landry every single wr we have could easily be upgraded
How is Schwartz doing?
He is not even playing tonight, this is the 3rd division game, and he has all of
FOURTEEN YARDS IN A DIVISION GAME ALL YEAR, Schwartz.
whatever!
The Offense... Raises bloodpressures
Concussion
Well the D came to play!!
LET THE DEFENSE
PLAY OFFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
Defense came to play today
Freaking score offense!!!
DPJ and Baker are off their chemistry dangit
I want to see Keenum in there!
Delpit should run over to the wr on our team and say see. It’s ok to catch it
Omg what in the world are we doing
Another trash throw to the outside. Same one different side to Chubb earlier
We had a great play call … and thats inexcusable
What in the he’ll was that
That was a screen set up for a huge gain
Wow. Another double clutch by all star.
OMG... See... we dont have any speed but Stefanski is hurting us .. BAKER
Oh my gosh the defense is going to lose their dirt!!!
Yeah I’ve seen all I can watch with baker. He just sucks . Keenum in the second half if you care at all about winning
That honestly could have been a TD for Hunt
I'm ready for Keenum now.
This offense couldn’t have played worse
Why wasntvthebclock running?amama
So … we have a missed FG and two TO’s inside the 35
This is just too difficult to watch.
had plenty of time and 2 timeouts to call a couple run plays
Man I don’t even know what to say
Last year for BOOker Mayfield
I’m sure Tucker will kick a 75 yarder
OMG... See... we dont have any speed but Stefanski is hurting us .. BAKER
That was a TD if the QB throws the ball
Why wasnt the clock running after that catch!?
Should be:
Browns 10
Ravens 6
Defense isn’t the problem. They are playing well
This offense stinks
Our QB play feels more like 1999 than 2020
Right down the field. Defense said screw it. If offense isn’t going to play why bother
OMG - another INT for the good guys
Which QB is worse? Please vote below...
DEFENSE!!!! Man this defense is keeping us in the game today
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
There was like 3 different calls they could have called on Garrett there
ANOTHER INTERCEPTION.
aggggggghhhhhh!
The offense is going out there.
:
Our defense has really stepped up! Unfortunately, I’m not sure we can get to 6 points lol
Joe woods name needs to be replaced with Stefanksis
As far as relinquishing play calling duties
How are we not ahead with this many turnovers?
Baker gonna give it back though
oh... might not be a catch
Two QBs playing like hot garbage tonight.
Man screw this offense. Defense playing their balls off and our offense needs a tampon
Just take a knee before Stefanski or Baker figure out another way to screw this up.
Okay, this is a nightmare QB play
One "hold my beer moment" after another.
Thank Gawd! 3 point game Ravens get it after half. Get your butts out yer' heads dawgs!
How are we not ahead with this many turnovers?
Because we also have turnovers?
This embarrassing coaching.
If Kevin was a coach... he would pull Baker...he wont and we will score under 13pts again... and he wont be questioned
And the QB carousel is warming up again
Baker has no chance against these blitzes
To all of America, we apologize for such a crap performance in the 1st half
Y'all notice #42 on the Ravens? When he lines up on the slot Ravens play fake opposite side and Jackson runs or rolls to #42 side.
This embarrassing coaching.
I think Stefanski is great and I’ll say this is dookie.
LoL!! which QB will lose this game? I'm taking bets.
Some of the worst QB play I've ever seen!
BENCH MAYFIELD NOW
Stefanski is in over his head. He needs to give up playcalling. To much on his plate and its affecting his decision making
Halftime adjustment: Call Bezos and shoot Baker and Stefanski into space.
LoL!! which QB will lose this game? I'm taking bets.
The one that can’t also run.
Yeah, Baker will never be good being blitzed like this. And they are sitting on everything underneath
pass, pass , hand off on 3rd down.
I think this offense of the Browns is in a terrible form.
Man!
IT'S LIKE WATCHING A CHILD RUN THROUG TRAFFIC, AND NOT GET HIT,
somebody DO Something!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why aren't we running the ball?
Get us Rodgers or Wilson next year and watch this offense blow up. Both of them would audible out of some of the dumb crap stefanski calls
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
wonder if Baltimore is wanting to bench Lamar
This embarrassing coaching.
I think Stefanski is great and I’ll say this is dookie.
If this were the SAT it would read:
Stefanski is to cfrs as Landry is to Milk Man
LoL!! which QB will lose this game? I'm taking bets.
The one that can’t also run.
LoL, agreed.
Dawg-gone it so many teams have the tie breaker in the wild card. It's division or bust! I know my rabies are in full effect; do our dawgs have that fight? I feel like I'm watching Major League 2, when I watch this team.
Why aren't we running the ball?
Because they are stacking the box to the point where it would be dumb be dumb not to pass.
We should still run it.
I have a hard time believing that Keenam would play worse than baker right now. Baker clearly has something going on mentally.
Pass it to Denzel, I think he has 3 catches already!!!
This game is hot garbage, watching the Steelers get destroyed was more entertaining.
To all of America, we apologize for such a crap performance in the 1st half
Ravens haven't been playing that great either.
Is Shane Falco still a FA?
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
wonder if Baltimore is wanting to bench Lamar
I'll take Lamar on the Browns over Baker any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
wonder if Baltimore is wanting to bench Lamar
The guy who has been super successful and carried the team when no one else was performing? Probably not.
Quick hits are gaining yards. Stoop the slow developing bullspit.
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
Run up the middle with D'Ernest.
Play action pass to Chubb!!!
edit: just a suggestion. It is the halftime break

Our offense can’t get much worse
But if Baker had 3 first half ints like Lamar?
Lol. Off with his head!
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
The play Baker fumbled on was a perfectly set up screen pass.
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
wonder if Baltimore is wanting to bench Lamar
I'll take Lamar on the Browns over Baker any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
You can always root for the Ravens since you love him so much. He has receivers also and a good D. How's it working for him today?
wonder what Emily Mayfield has to say after this game lol?
So, offensive explosion from both teams? Or just more plays that are offensive to the eyes…
Stefanski absolutely hates to see anybody in our offense get in a rhythm. As soon as somebody makes a play or two and looks like they are getting into a flow, he either pulls out one of his really stupid trick plays that tricks nobody or he just goes away from that person or he just takes them out.
Great first half by Joe Woods defense, really seems to have Lamar confused.
If this remains a FG kicking contest, I don't like our chances.
Look.. this was a week where Stefanski could have sat Baker and let him heal. BUT NO, we get the whole "He looks better, practiced great" but then come game time, totally looks limited!!.. This is on Stefanski to make the proper call for his team... of course, he does not!!
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
The play Baker fumbled on was a perfectly set up screen pass.
That play didn't end well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run up the middle with D'Ernest.
Play action pass to Chubb!!!
edit: just a suggestion. It is the halftime break
D'Ernest over Hunt? Nice suggestion
Dude the Baker fumble was on a screen pass.
On a good note there is no longer such a thing as n 8-8 season. On a down note we’re looking like an 8-9 team.
Next time we get in field goal range, kneel on it
I thought getting hunt back we’d get back to the two headed rushing attack. Hasn’t been the case
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
The play Baker fumbled on was a perfectly set up screen pass.
That play didn't end well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hunt got hung up on the LOS for just a second, forced Baker to backpedal more than he wanted. Not an excuse to just drop the ball though.
22 passes to 9 rush attempts...way to play to your strenghts Kevin.
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
The play Baker fumbled on was a perfectly set up screen pass.
The Browns are lacking balance offensively; 10 rushing attempts in the first half vs 10/22 passing? Not great.
Dude the Baker fumble was on a screen pass.
You mean this play where Kareem Hunt had two blockers for one guy and no one else within 20 yards?
Dont worry.. at the presser, Stefanski will talk about how he has to adjust that and put people in positions.. blah.. blah.. blah
Yeah, I know. Screen passes tend to work better when there's at least a threat of a running game. If this keeps up, the Ravens are going to pin their ears back and go after Mayfield.
Look.. this was a week where Stefanski could have sat Baker and let him heal. BUT NO, we get the whole "He looks better, practiced great" but then come game time, totally looks limited!!.. This is on Stefanski to make the proper call for his team... of course, he does not!!
I am not sure what is going on in that regard. It almost looks like they are wanting him to play poorly to get his contract number down or have a reason to draft another QB.
10 rushes for 21 yards.. way to be balanced KEVIN!!
I feel like our offense has been so self-inflicted with errors. The drop, penalties, missed FG, turnovers, and the missed screen play. Ravens could say the same thing, but I think we may be worse off
So apparently the Browns forgot what a screen pass was or a running game huh?
The play Baker fumbled on was a perfectly set up screen pass.
No way Hunt wasn't scoring on that.
My favorite play though was when Stefanski called a trick play after Baker's best pass.
Roethlisberger will probably be available to play for us next year. LOL
22 passes to 9 rush attempts...way to play to your strenghts Kevin.
9 rushes to 24 drop backs.. Baker had a rush and a sack that don't count his attempts count.
I have a hard time believing that Keenam would play worse than baker right now. Baker clearly has something going on mentally.
Baker is practically playing with one leg and one arm. Conklin getting hurt doesn't help either.
Ravens are going all out to stop the run and forcing the Browns to try and beat them through the air. They know Baker is playing hurt and is only at about 45 to 50 percent. Keenam should really start the 2nd half
10 rushes for 21 yards.. way to be balanced KEVIN!!
They were selling out for the run.
Dawgs, we got this! Forget about what players wives or some other pickle puffers have to say. Run the ball and make the quick hit throws to setup a throw to the deep corner. Defense maintain a flat look 7 yards out with 3 deep. We got this! Dawg-gone it we got this!
Defensive holding first play
That was a terrible call IMO
Look.. this was a week where Stefanski could have sat Baker and let him heal. BUT NO, we get the whole "He looks better, practiced great" but then come game time, totally looks limited!!.. This is on Stefanski to make the proper call for his team... of course, he does not!!
I am not sure what is going on in that regard. It almost looks like they are wanting him to play poorly to get his contract number down or have a reason to draft another QB.
Stefanski is looking like a JV coach. and everyone sees this!!
There wasn't enough time for him to hold.
that's the Flippin Refs just making up calls to help the bad guys.
22 passes to 9 rush attempts...way to play to your strenghts Kevin.
9 rushes to 24 drop backs.. Baker had a rush and a sack that don't count his attempts count.
Kevin will get desperate in the 2nd half, I expect at least 3 to 1 pass vs. run.
Newsome with the business decision
Joe Woods defense can't seem to figure out how many men should be on the field after calling a time out to avoid having too many men on the field.
Trying to stay out of this thread. You can't ask more of the defense. Our offense is offensive. That is all.
That’s poor 3rd down defense
YEs CFRS that was a middle screen. You make the D-line think they are the best pass rushers ever as they over run the play. Dawgs messed up.
I don’t understand playing off on 3rd
The last time the Browns wore these helmets was the game agasint Chicago where they sacked Justin fields 12 times.
We need the Browns Defense to wear these helmets,
and the Browns offense... to go through some caterpillar butterfly transformation
If you can't at least try to establish the running game, the defense is going to get worn down quickly in the second half, the time of possession is already in favor of the Ravens as it is.
That looked like a hold on CLowney
Should've been holding on O line.
That’s the type of game winning plays that they make and we dont
We are done!!... but our linemen are getting held
That...might be ball game.
That play summarizes our whole season
Amazing catch. 50% of one and half dozen of the other because of the penalty ...... but that was incredible.
HOw does that lollipop go?
Winning teams make plays like that
Cut 'em down dawgs! Dig deep! DIG DEEP!
Why did we call timeout!?
Trying to stay out of this thread. You can't ask more of the defense. Our offense is offensive. That is all.
It starts with Baker who is clearly struggling because of numerous injuries.
Unfortunately just like last year: they have playmaking QB and we dont
How do you let Andrews get that *%$**$^$^ wide open?????????
WONDER how long they are gonna put up woods crap def!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the entirety in a snapshot
4 guys chasing the Qb, and he drops back 25 yards deeper and completes a touchdown pass.
Fine... Let's do it the hard way then.
Block in the back on Clowney. But, how is the TE that open?
Game. Season.
Those kind of plays is how you know you are probably destined to lose
Looks like that's it for Baker Mayfield.
we lose tonite you can kiss our season goodbye
the Browns just make you shake your head... WTF...
The Baker commercials are aggravating as we are watching an offensive performance like this
The Ravens made halftime adjustments; lets see if the Browns did or not. Will they actually run the football this drive and get a TD? If not - game's over.
OTTO GRAHAM !!!
OTTO GRAHAM !!!
OTTO GRAHAM !!!
How do we allow te to do whatever they want it’s always the case and we’ve never stopped a single one . You have a qb backpedaling under pressure from three defenders and you let a te in the endzone with the closest defender 5 yards away.
Woods isn’t going anywhere. We’ll at least until Stefanski goes.
This was gonna come down to who could make a play. They have Lamar.
It was always a good bet they were gonna be the ones to make a play.
At least all this ridiculous playoff talk can end. This team is not a playoff team.
Unfortunately just like last year: they have playmaking QB and we dont
They don't have a QB who is playing with numerous injuries. If Baker was healthy things would be different.
We can still run the dawg-gone ball. WE can still setup the play fake. This game is within reach. THey had to pull some circus crap out their feathered rears to make that score, it won't be so easy next time. BUCKLE DOWN DAWGS!!!
This defense especially the safety play is so effin erratic
Unfortunately just like last year: they have playmaking QB and we dont
They don't have a QB who is playing with numerous injuries. If Baker was healthy things would be different.
If you're injured to the point where you can't perform like you're supposed to, then you shouldn't be playing. You become a liability and a detriment to your team if you can't perform up to par, injury or not.
Our only answer is chubb somehow
Dang Jackson couldn't even follow through on that TD throw. TIp of the hat. NOw let's get after it.
Kevin being dumb again!!..
Unfortunately just like last year: they have playmaking QB and we dont
They don't have a QB who is playing with numerous injuries. If Baker was healthy things would be different.
Injuries cannot be used as an excuse. If he’s out there playing, when you have the highest paid backup qb in nfl, that means you are saying baker isn’t being hampered by the injuries. So someone needs to ask KS which one
Stefanski in panic mode as usual. Empty backfield pass happy
Wills is playing a garbage game
There's DPJ. Settle down in the zone C'mon now.

Yup. The fans have been saying this for a month but Stefanski isn't smart enough to make the adjustment.
So stacked left side of the box - no audible...let's run right at them.
THE RB. ONLY EVER LINES UP 13 YARDS DEEP,
shh, on a regular handoff, very disguised from the other bad plays where they are empty backfield.
And Felton with a drop. We are just pathetic on offense right now
M'F'ers strung it out. THeir looking for a bootleg backside
See . You can see an 8 man box and baker doesn’t audible. Makes no senseZ. It’s a basic skill for nfl qb
Why didn't Baker catch that ball?
Throw the entire offense away
WE NEED A NEW QUARTERBACK NOW
face our season is over barring a big miricle
Don't look upfield make the catch.
Felton and Schwartz are busts.
“Why aren’t we running the ball?”
Cut to the eight man box with no safety over the top.
Stefanski in panic mode as usual. Empty backfield pass happy
They are selling out to stop the run.
But hey let's throw it to Felton instead of Higgins
Baker can’t throw and catch it
Why didn't Baker catch that ball?
that's the point. Made a good play but you only get 3
But hey let's throw it to Felton instead of Higgins
You mean Hunt!
That drop was not on Baker!! but this play calling by Kevin and our QB not changing out of that run to the other side aint helping!!.. COUNT the D
Stefanski in panic mode as usual. Empty backfield pass happy
They are selling out to stop the run.
This is the defense you run when you are going against Cody Kessler.
The empty backfield sets need thrown out
Baker has been nothing short of horrible
wonder if Baltimore is wanting to bench Lamar
How's that working out?
If the Browns get down by more than 7 they're done.
Stefanski has been so bad. Why wasn't Hunt in on that play?
Stefanski does not think they can run on this team.
But hey let's throw it to Felton instead of Higgins
You mean Hunt!
First, they made Higgins inactive for the game!!..
As Collinsworth said, why is Hunt not in and felton is?
Stefanski in panic mode as usual. Empty backfield pass happy
They are selling out to stop the run.
This is the defense you run when you are going against Cody Kessler.
There's not much difference between Baker and Kessler at this point in time.
Blitz Baker = win game 90% of the time
Stefanski in panic mode as usual. Empty backfield pass happy
They are selling out to stop the run.
Part of me wonders if they'd do this if Keenum was in the game. They know Mayfield's struggling with his accuracy so they're playing 7-8 in the box.
Outside of JOK the last two drafts have been very meh
Mayfield needs benched immediately.
POST GAME THOUGHTS
" You aren't going to beat anybody when you only score 3 points Doug"
" The Defense had 3 interceptions in the first half Doug."
"ohh, *(any quarterback who plays against the Browns) is a really good Quarterback,
I think the Browns are counting on hanging around until the rest of the NFL, starts using ... well it doesn't matter, because sometimes they DO use terrible quarterbacks,
and the Browns make them look like really good quarterbacks.
Who's gonna step up? #55 on the spy? String it out, run'em down. I smeel a turnover.
I think our only chance may be to chuck it deep and hope for DPI like Carson Wentz does
Unfortunately just like last year: they have playmaking QB and we dont

If you're injured to the point where you can't perform like you're supposed to, then you shouldn't be playing. You become a liability and a detriment to your team if you can't perform up to par, injury or not.
I agree. Don't know why Stefanski doesn't want to play Keenum and would rather go with QB who isn't at 100%.

I see no reason to keep running baker out there when it’s obvious he is no threat to go downfield and open up the running. Haven’t seen any pulling guard runs or anything creative to get out two best players the ball. It’s mind numbing
I think our only chance may be to chuck it deep and hope for DPI like Carson Wentz does
Don't look now, but Wentz is looking more and more like MVP/Super Bowl season Wentz by the week.
We are literally the dumbest team with personal fouls
It’s quite obvious the reason for Minnesota success when stefanski was there was kubiak
This team absolutely blows. Coaches. Players. Please get someone who understands how to call offensive plays. Please get someone who understands how to call defensive plays. Please draft a QB. Please draft another offensive tackle. Please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, let the Cleveland Browns compete for a Super Bowl before I leave this Earth. SMH
It probably wasn’t roughing as we saw the replay.
... LAMAR JACKSON TOOK A DIVE AGAIN.
that is introduced new this year.
touch his Jersey and Lamar Jackson takes a dive to draw a penalty like a 105 pound girl. What a disgrace
im out of here ashamed to call these guys a football team
They’ll use all the clock for the rest of 3rd

Every week Stefanski gets worse and worse.
I used to ask when Shurmer was coach..."what were they doing all week".
That's how I've felt since about mid-season.
If the Defense can't get a 3 and out or a turnover, the game is over. Because the defense is starting to wear down.
This is right in Baltimore’s wheelhouse. Making us play from behind. Not a great vibe
Don’t blitz woods, it’s only worked for every team that’s beaten baltimore
All I know after watching this game: JOK can freaking play
It feels like the game is over already. It feels like our season is over already.
Don’t blitz woods, it’s only worked for every team that’s beaten baltimore
Wish granted.
It feels like the game is over already. It feels like our season is over already.
Sadly, it does feel that way
Don’t blitz woods, it’s only worked for every team that’s beaten baltimore
It looked like blitzed... the D aint the problem.. Its Kevin!!
3rd down stop. That's the indicator. Can we get a stop on 3rd down? YES WE CAN. Now the O can make it happen! WE got this Dawgs!
So Baker talks a good game and says all the right words, but in order to change the culture of a team, you got to bring it on the field. That means personal focus, studying the playbook and running the team - audibles, changing the formations, etc.
As much as we wanted him to be, Baker is not The Guy.
The Ravens have basically said they are taking Chubb out of the equation. We can’t solve the problem.
3rd down stop. That's the indicator. Can we get a stop on 3rd down? YES WE CAN. Now the O can make it happen! WE got this Dawgs!
You might be the only person here that thinks we got this.
When the gloves fall, you don't want to be the one who backed the DAWG against the wall. Baker, Baker, TouchDown maker' make it happen! Here it comes!
We are literally the dumbest team with personal fouls
Goes well with our dumb coaches. Nobody seems ready to play. Ever. Again I ask myself "Why did I not bet on the Ravens?" It's literally FREE money. This football team sucks. It just does. SMH
Wills hasn’t blocked anyone all night
The Ravens have basically said they are taking Chubb out of the equation. We can’t solve the problem.
I'm not sure I agree with that - I'd try and trap block Brandon Williams in the middle and see if a counter gains some yardage.
Mayfield has the body language and look on his face of a (something)
How can the coaches not see this.
How can they say he is the best option to put in the game at QB right now? He's not.
Welp.
that Chubb up the middle shows stfanski is giving up.
only 1 quarter + 3 minutes to play in the game.
The Ravens have basically said they are taking Chubb out of the equation. We can’t solve the problem.
Stefanski is incapable of solving the problem. Thus the reason why he needs to give up the play calling.
I dunno if I should get excited
Take that attitude and keep it going
Way to turn it up Landry!
Run the ball. Don't go away from it.
Thatd be a good loss for us
WHERE IS THE BAKER THAT PLANTED THE FLAG ON THE BUCKEYE LOGO?
Run + quick hits+ corner+ Landry for 30
I really hate the gronk commercials
We cant afford a mistake here. Must score this drive
I really hate the gronk commercials
Ugh. He’s the worst
To win this game.
The Browns need a Touchdown before the end of the 3rd quarter.
The Browns need at least 3 this drive - they need a running game established this drive to give the defense at least a little bit of a breather.
Run the ball, if nothing else you eat clock and give the defense a rest
The Browns need a touchdown in the next 1 minute of game clock.
Can we get a DPI call my goodness
That’s a DEFINITE roughing the passer
Where is the BAKER that planted the flag on the buckeye logo?
I think it just nipped the ground
TOUCHDOWN BROWNS!! BAKER TO NJOKU!!!
EVeryday all day! EVERY DAY ALL DAY!!! LET'S GO DAWGS!!!
Need a better throw there, great effort by njoku
There's been more drops this season than Braylon, but this is a score! LET'S GO!!!
Why can't Baker just make a decent throw. Geez.
WHERE IS THE BAKER THAT PLANTED THE FLAG ON THE BUCKEYE LOGO?
He is hurt. He has the attitude. He doesn't have the physical skills right now. He should know better that he is not helping the team. That's just my opinion.
Why can't Baker just make a decent throw. Geez.
you guys really suck
Wow play stands … thats as close as it gets
Because browns that will be incomplete. Especially with boger
Why can't Baker just make a decent throw. Geez.
He just throwed a good touchdown and you say he sucks
4th quarter is Chubb time
WHERE IS THE BAKER THAT PLANTED THE FLAG ON THE BUCKEYE LOGO?
He is hurt. He has the attitude. He doesn't have the physical skills right now. He should know better that he is not helping the team. That's just my opinion.
I swear if we win this game it's due to you.
We could use another turnover here guys
Let’s Go! Wake up offense!!!

That was a gift but the Browns will take it.
I stopped reading this thread and I feel so much better.
It was inclusive. If you watched football long enough you knew if they were honest they would not overturn that
Man this game is just strange
I mean we just cant get that guy down
we tackled that guy 4 times on one play
Come on y’all gotta make that sack
What does it take? My god
Lamar is our kryptonite . .. he defies logic with our defense
It’s like trying to tackle an octopus.
I mean we watch lamar do this on all the highlights so of course it’s gonna happen live. But man our guys gotta get him down
Clowney was held on that play and it wasn't called.
MYLES GARR-ETT
MYLES GARR-ETT
MYLES GARR-ETT
Lamar is our kryptonite . .. he defies logic with our defense
I'm pretty happy so far. Yes too bad no sack but no gain.. he hasn't run all over us
Now its butt puckering time
Oh I agree … our defense probably couldn’t play better through 3
Now its butt puckering time
Haha
Lamar is our kryptonite . .. he defies logic with our defense
I'm pretty happy so far. Yes too bad no sack but no gain.. he hasn't run all over us
JOK has made a huge difference so far in his running. Interesting.
3 quarters down, 1 to go this game. 4 next game after the bye
Man oh man, we simply cannot get him down
When in doubt: make Walker go laterally
We are a better team with walker not playing
Maybe fill a gap walker you scrub, you let a 320 center beat you to the hole
IT's no thang. Run wide stretch inside 10 yards 3 deep. Make that play develop slow.
that graphic with the division titles just ticked me off so much
4th interception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4th INT Lamar Jackson has thrown tonight!
The Browns needed that. BAD.
INTERCEPTION NUMBER 4!!!!!!
defense is doing their part yet again
Wow...
Meanwhile...Stefanski looks cluelessly at his play sheet thinking, "Uh...I gotta call more plays now...didn't expect that..."
Defense came to play!!!!!!!!
Perfect coverage by Johnson
Hats off to the D tonight.
Establishing the running game would be extremely helpful in this quarter.
If we could ever get the ground game going, now would be the time
Stefanski looking at his sheet thinking hey I got a play that looks like that. Let’s run it right now
Ravens are lucky our offense sucks. 4 picks should end the game for any struggling qb
OOOOOOHHHHH BABY! Now play our game. Dictate the pace pound it down their throat! No Mercy!
that graphic with the division titles just ticked me off so much
The truth hurts dont it!!!... But those other teams have been stable, good drafts, good coaches and D.. We on the the other hand!!!
4th quarter is Chubb time
Another interception, Browns ball at their own 10. John Johnson picked it off, and injured Browns player, and a commercial break.
68 tackle eligible Micheal Dunn
When they play that run blitz up the middle hit 'em over the middle for a chunk!
Td here would flip this game on its head
A playoff team wins this game.
And luckily I think Patrick Queen is still out for them...we need to take the clock with us, and just pound this one in for another touchdown
Man that was so overthrown … Hooper was there
HERE WE GO BROWNIES
HERE WE GO
Baker had Kareem hunt right in front of him
thank god that was dropped
if they throw a touchdown on this play. the Browns will have the lead
Only the browns can pick the opposing team qf off 4 times and still lose. So frustrating
Why is Chubb not in. Dude literally is the best back in football in 4th quarter
I’d rather an outside zone or right at them
LET'S GO BROWNS
LET'S GO BROWNS!
RUN AT BALTIMORE!!.. Not sideways.. Kevin dont get it
Horrible play call, run right up the middle instead. It's so simple.
Let’s do a sneak with a qb that is being held together with bubblegum and you have two elite backs
We need a backer like queen
God we just can’t win with baker. He can’t make the plays
Punt … defense has to come up big again
Takes baker an hour to make a read beyond his 1st read
AJ Green with a great special teams tackle.
3RD AND 19, OUR TURN,
nice catch by Jamarcus Bradley for 8, to set up 4th and 11.
THE BROWNS PASSING GAME IS HEATING UP
HERE WE GO BROWNIES, HERE WE GO!!

We could have Conklin back in a couple of weeks but instead stefanski wanted to rush him back just to get hurt and now we are stuck with hance rest of season
The toss play screwed that drive. just run at them
I dont get Stefanski .. there are things that are so obvious and he cannot see them... sweeps dont work on Balt.. especially sweeping on the side of your backup tackle
Hance has played OK tonight. That sack was on Baker!
Anyone else notice Tretter holding his lower back
I hate this Verizon commercial with that woman. So annoying!
Takes baker an hour to make a read beyond his 1st read
WE ONLY NEED ONE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TD
HERE WE GO BROWNIES! HERE WE GO!!
Yeah Tretter is pretty beat up
I hate this Verizon commercial with that woman. So annoying!
I hate all commercials!
Deflected … good job defene

JOK playing out of his mind.
Clowney deflects and Ravens punt
Felton continues to be very sketchy back there
Felton running backwards.
We could have Conklin back in a couple of weeks but instead stefanski wanted to rush him back just to get hurt and now we are stuck with hance rest of season
Conklin was out with a dislocated elbow. He hurt his knee today.
JOK playing out of his mind.
Clowney deflects and Ravens punt
JOK is a hell of a pick... and he will get better,.,.
Felton has been vastly underwhelming after all the hype
Clowney hasn't sacked Lamar but he has been very DISRUPTIVE!
Defense is a total mystery. So bad at times.
This game…they did their job.
We could have Conklin back in a couple of weeks but instead stefanski wanted to rush him back just to get hurt and now we are stuck with hance rest of season
Conklin was out with a dislocated elbow. He hurt his knee today.
Why let facts interfere get in the way?
Browns passing game is Really starting to heat up!!!
Browns get the ball back after forcing a punt, down 3 in the 4th quarter.
WHEN THE BROWNS SCORE A TOUCHDOWN ON THIS DRIVE!!!
THEY WILL BE IN THE LEAD!!!
Here we go Brownies, Here we go!!!
Had them on the ropes since you scored that TD to Njoku before the 3rd quarter ended.
LETS!!!
GO!!!!
BROWNS!!!
Felton has been vastly underwhelming after all the hype
Every player in any sport that has worn a Cleveland uniform has been vastly underwhelming to you.
Can we possibly get some momentum on offense here
Seems like Higgins would be nice here. Idk
On the clowney curse cam did anyone notice the consistent theme of hands to the face on him?
leadtheway needs to sign up to the Ravens board and kicked off this one.

I can't stand watching Felton run any direction but forward on returns.

Conklin was out with a dislocated elbow. He hurt his knee today.
I understand but he should not have been out there in the first place
Seriously how does baker not audible there or hard count
HERE WE GO BROWNIES!! HERE WE GO!!
Our offense just cant do it
We cant get open vs Man to Man
Baker not going to get it done . This loss is once again him and stefanski. You were gifted 4 turnovers
Ummm what the heck was that?
Baker can not throw out routes
Mayfield just running the play; he doesn't really seem to know that he controls the offense. Then can't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
and BTW... another 13pt offensive output!!... I guess we will talk about Baker but Kevin is stinking up the joint!!
Our WRs need a big overhaul. Cant get open
They are nfl open, baker can’t throw in nfl window
This is all on Kevin Stefanski and Baker Mayfield.
PUt the pressure on the D! they got it. LEt's go!
That drive was the game. It’s over now
Don't have JOK rush the QB. Have him spy the rest of the game.
Walker on his heels that was crap!
More holding the refs wont call
Ballgame. Offense sucks bottom line
We’ve had SO many chances on offense. Failed 90% of them
Our WRs need a big overhaul. Cant get open
Can Kevin Scheme them open?? He couldn't do it when he had Beckum... What makes you think he can do it now
So glad stefanski was in good spirits on the sideline
Don't let the play come to you, ATTACK!
We arent gonna get the ball back, are we?
Unless we see a miracle like a pick six or something like that, game over.
So - Two Ohio teams face a Harbaugh coached team on the same weekend with the same projected outcome.
Stefanski and baker are a problem. They are both bad and need replaced . Problem is it won’t be in time to save this season
TICK TICK TICK.. make a play.
We arent gonna get the ball back, are we?
Nope. Because they can run the ball.
That won't cut it. COME ON DAWGS!
If you can't get a stop in the next 2 downs the game's over.
Look... Baker is hurt.. Stefanski could keep him on the bench and let him heal but he wont...
Why is middle tackle getting pushed back 3 yards?
They stacked the line and took away the run
And we could pass to save our lives.
It's over. Thanks stefanski. Thanks for sitting Higgins and jankovich. Thanks for putting conklin out there when he should not have been. Thanks for refusing to give up playcalling responsibility and be the HEAD COACH. Because your to arrogant. THANKS
DIG DEEP DAWGS! LET"S GO!
On the plus side, I get all my Sunday afternoons back. Browns aren't worth watching the rest of the season.
This is all on Kevin Stefanski and Baker Mayfield.
And our inability to run ..... and our WRs dropping 4 passes....... and stupid, unforced penalties ......
Walker is the worst lb in the nfl
Collinsworth has his head so far up the Raven's asses it's remarkable.
'
Why even have safeties deep
AAAHHHH! Too many teams have tie breaker in the wild card we need the division.
The Browns offense better be huddling up and figuring out what they are going to do!!!
Felton sucks. Hardly ever gets positive yards. Dances too much !
Stefanski, Mayfield, pack your bags!!
They stacked the line and took away the run
And we could pass to save our lives.
YES.. because in Stefanski's offense, if you stop the run, the pass option is not there or its based on the TEs not the WRs
According to Collinsworth, it's impossible for anyone to beat the Ravens.

Now you understand why Stefon Diggs was traded.
How many teams have lost when getting 4 interceptions in a game?

Honestly why wouldn't he?
The Browns were never winning this game.
And they were gifted 4 picks.
Which they did nothing with.

I remember a game vs the jags when we had 7 turnovers and lost.
Great job defense! Offense is not good enough to keep teams honest

That's a fireable offense.

No.. You mean Stefon Diggs demanded to be traded.. this offense is run based and relies on TEs. Baker's limitations makes the pass game even harder
We can't even tackle...game over
The Browns have run the ball 17 times the entire game. That's not enough.

Here we go Pik 6 here we go!! here we go pik 6 here we go!!
4th down bad guys.
HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO!! WOOF WOOF!!!
well here it is. if we dont get this game winning drive i doubt we have what it takes to get into the playoffs
We never looked this lost under kitchens and that’s saying a lot. Freddie screw up was on dorsey. This needs fixed and it starts at the bye by giving the playcalling to someone else. Hell I’d like to see Callahan get a crack as a HC again
WHAT'S IT CALLED WHEN YOU BLOCK A KICK FOR 6 POINTS
THAT WOULD WIN IT
The Browns have run the ball 17 times the entire game. That's not enough.
Well lets see if Kevin answers that question? Probably not... his pressers are crap because the cleveland media will not ask him those questions
WHAT'S IT CALLED WHEN YOU BLOCK A KICK FOR 6 POINTS

Do you mind sharing the alcohol or drugs you are currently using with the rest of us sir?
17 runs for 36 yards. That is just over 2 yards/run.
BAKER!! BAKER!! BAKER!!!!
1:10 left. this is how QBs earn their money.
Mayfield doesn't know how to pass
OK aker, you want 30+ million per year? Prove it here
Our play calling is so offensive. It is disturbing.
And baker has NEVER done it.
Question for those of you who said they had to pass:
If this was Tennessee with Derrick Henry and Baltimore stacked the box, do you think that they would stop running the ball with 7-8 men in the box?
HERE WE GO BAKER,
YOU HAD 5 MINUTES TO PLAN THIS
OTTO GRAHAM
OTTO GRAHAM
OTTO GRAHAM!!!
17 runs for 36 yards. That is just over 2 yards/run.
What is so hard for you guys to understand?
They sold out to stop the run until the QB made then pay.
The QB never made them pay.
D'Earnest Johnson at RB???? When a great pass catching back like Karee Hunt is on your squad. That's why Stefanski is horrid at play calling. You don't go for the participation rotation when you want to win.
Welp.. the passing game let us down again!!.. I'm sure Kevin will have the answer
5th drop tonight.
wow. nobody wants to make a play
and he goes out with a whimper
Stefanski needs fired if he doesn't turn over the playcalling. Terrible.
Someone needs to start taking responsibility for the offense.
SUM UM A BIOTCH! I really dislike Hooper.
Baker loves the game winning drives!
People cant catch the ball . Paid millions
i am so disappointed in this team, specifically the offense. this was an absolute embarrassment.
the offense just gave this game away from the jump. i feel bad for the defense. once again, 16 points, TO's, and all for nothing.
I don't want to hear a damn thing bad about Baker.
Again.. KEVIN IS THE PROBLEM!!.. Second..we have a team of WRs that cannot win 1on 1.. We had one but we let him go!!.. Why because KEVIN cannot draw up plays to get a player going..
Kevin Keep saying Baker is ready but he is not!!... At some point, someone has to see that Stefanski is the problem
and he goes out with a whimper
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Defense should be p'od. They turned in a great effort, came up with 4 turnovers and Stefanski and the O failed them. I predict finishing another year in the basement for the Browns. Bengals and Ravens are playing ball and Steelers just have the Browns number.
G'nite folks.

Just wait till we lose to this same team coming off our bye week 😞
These drops is terrible. 2 on the last 4 plays of the game again. Wtf
I don't want to hear a damn thing bad about Baker.
why? he was part of the problem the entire game with the O. he's the QB. hes gets the blame like everybody else on O
That's what, the 2nd game where the defense has done what they were supposed to do, and the offense failed again? Pittsburgh and now Baltimore?
I don't want to hear a damn thing bad about Baker.
Oh really.. how special was Baker today?? I put more of this on Kevin but dont act like Baker should even be out there..
Yep, the D didn't lose this game. The offense did.
I don't want to hear a damn thing bad about Baker.

This hurts. No chance for a wildcard with everyone who has the tie-breaker over us. Can we remover our heads from our asses and win the division? It's the only path to the playoffs.
i swear to god if this was any other team it wouldve been a blowout. imagine getting 3 picks in 1 quarter and still losing the game
Someone needs to start taking responsibility for the offense.
Stefanski needs to give up play calling or be fired. Period. I think we have all seen enough of this crap. Enough!
Nope. He played his ass off. Mistakes? Yes. But he played as well as anyone on the team, or better than most.

last time i checked there were 4 quarters. baker fumbled the ball that wouldve atleast got us more points.
THEY COMPLETED A PASS ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME.
THEY GOT A TOUCHDOWN BEFORE THE 3RD QUARTER ENDED.
I Really thought they would get a win, after the Touchdown before the 3rd quarter ended.
10-16 bad guys. Final Score. Browns fall to 6-6.
Again, the D held a team to 16 pts.. but our Kevin/Baker led offense only scored 10... WTF. Teams now see that you stop the run and we cannot pass!!.. Simple as that!
I don't want to hear a damn thing bad about Baker.

because they lay it all on him. They say he can't win a game winning drive. Well you're right I guess since the Receivers won't catch the ball and not finding a way to run the freaking ball
Nope. He played his ass off. Mistakes? Yes. But he played as well as anyone on the team, or better than most.
he fumbled the ball that would've led to points. the ENTIRE offense failed all FOUR quarters.
It's becoming increasingly clear that if the running game is NOT working, that the Browns abandon it far too quickly, or that they don't have the guy at QB or a dominant WR to get the offense jump started. 3 points off 4 turnovers is not going to cut it.
Lamar Jackson is the player of the game with 165 passing yards and 4 interceptions

Baker played decent, but you never got the feeling it would be enough. Like he really had command of what was going on and could make a play that raises the level of his teammates. He just runs the play. Plays incredibly slow mentally and really brings no dynamic-ness to the offense. He's just a name. Just a random player on the chess board.
You never got a feeling at all that the Ravens were worried about him.
Ravens D was in an 8 man front all game and Browns offense had no answer for it.

Baker literally should NOT be out there right now. I don't care what HE says. This is on Stefanski. That and his [censored] play calling. Give it up Kevin or pack your bags.
Kevin let the coach of the year award got to his head. Now he thinks he is good and he sucks at play calling. Best RB tandom in the NFL and he doesn't use them.
exactly. which is why i said the entire offense failed. OCD trying to act like baker didnt play a part in that. thats the entire point.
Ravens D was in an 8 man front all game and Browns offense had no answer for it.
That's on Stefanski. I doubt he changes anything for the next game against this SAME scheme. Dumbass. SMH

At this point I can’t figure out if it would be stupider of us to give Baker a contract or
stupider of Baltimore to give Lamar a contract. They both suck. Kudos to Joe Woods and the Defense. 4 interceptions and our garbage qb finds a way to lose. Cut Baker and fire Stefanski for not having the common sense to bench him.
Ravens D was in an 8 man front all game and Browns offense had no answer for it.
Don't understand how we didn't make them pay for that.
I mean I do...Stefanski and Baker.
If you are a running team you find a way to run because that’s who you are
Ravens D was in an 8 man front all game and Browns offense had no answer for it.
The Patriots exposed the Browns. If you stop Chubb, you stop the Browns offense. If Mayfield can't make plays in the passing game to potentially open up the running game to make teams pay for stacking the box, then Andrew Berry needs to strongly consider looking at getting another QB. And you can say he's injured all you want - at some point, if you're injured to the point where you're a detriment to your team and can't help them to win, then you don't need to be playing. Period.
The truth is Baker needs upper elechon talent around him.in.order to
Be successful. He is only as good as the talent around him

A lot of Baker's passes were high because he couldn't step into the throws because of injuries. Also, the Bowns don't have a playmaking receiver that can stretch the field.

At what point in the Baker era has he led this team down the field for the win?? Again, most of this is on Kevin but Baker cannot be paid like a top tier QB because its not like we can put the team on his back. Our offense stalls when we cannot run and every team in the NFL sees this. I put most of this on Kevin but Baker is not THAT QB!! He is just a system QB
Stefanski was ridiculously out coached again.
Someone needs to hold these coaches accountable.

Ironically enough, the Browns could use the Josh Gordon that was with them when Weeden was the QB on this team. That would make a HUGE difference offensively.
Crowded the line and had the safety/Lb up all night
How can an offense not make adjustments?
Difference In the game imo
The defense played a great game

They threw up a stat midway thru 4th Q... Said 8 men in the box on 14% of plays unless I missed it.
Tough loss. Biggest takeaway is that other than a couple of early passes our receivers get zero separation... Even on competition there are guys draped over them.
I agree with leadtheway... If you're a running tram, run it even when it's 2 yards a pop
... Losing conklin hurts real bad
Well, it's that time of the season; discussing who we should be drafting next April.
Playmaking receivers with speed who can catch and stretch the field.
How was this game that much different than the Browns win over the Bengals where the Browns scored 45 and the other team scored I forget how much.
Not much different except for the ints weren't for scores,
and the offense didn't, must not have done as much running the ball.
Well, it's that time of the season; discussing who we should be drafting next April.
Playmaking receivers with speed who can catch and stretch the field.
I'd argue that a WR with size and decent speed would be preferable. Like Drake London from USC. 6'5".

I think it was more than 14%. Baltimore's game plan was to stop the run and make the Browns pass.

You don't seem smarter than the FO…
I'll ride with 6.
A lot of Baker's passes were high because he couldn't step into the throws because of injuries. Also, the Bowns don't have a playmaking receiver that can stretch the field.
well, we did have one...
Who would that be? Odell? Yep, he could have been out there running his own off script routes, pretending he's getting open, and throwing his QB under the bus. He was a has been here. Didn't do squat.
This loss was entirely on Stefanski. You have your QB getting rushed by 6 people while sending out 3 TE's being defended by DB's they can't get separation from. Who in the hell ever heard of an offense playing 1 WR? Until Stefanski gets fired or we get an offensive coordinator to call the game we can expect the same every game. There's no QB in the NFL that can have 6 people rushing him every play and expect success with only 1 WR and 3 TE's all dropping passes. Book on the Browns - rush 6 and stack the box because the receivers can't beat you and the coach cannot or won't adjust.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can't make your QB a game control QB and then expect him to suddenly throw 35 times to receivers who are only used to being targeted 3 times a game. When the play action is dead, the Browns receivers are incapable of getting separation. Hell the Ravens didn't even need safeties against the Browns - Baker only had enough time to throw 5-10 yard passes and his receivers either didn't have separation or dropped the ball. This loss is all on Stefanski again!
Look, having a dominate running game is awesome until you can't run. Then you have to adjust - something the Browns have failed to do this entire season and that's on Stefanski - PERIOD!
I really thought the Offense and the passing game was about to take flight
After they were able to get that touchdown to Njoku, before the 3rd quarter ended.
What happened to Rashard Higgins,?

now we dont even have that....
but i get it. it will always be someone else's fault when it comes to baker.

Not sure I completely understand this... I mean, if Baker is the horse and you are supposed to put the team on his back.. then Stefanski is the jockey that is yanking on the reins...
If you put most of it on Stefanski, then how do we know that Baker can only be a "system QB"?
Baker has 7 game winning drives to his credit.... 4 of them in 2018 (more than half of them when he was a rookie), 1 in 2019, and 2 in the first half of 2020... none since week 7 last year.. So maybe he just forgot how to play late in the game.. or......
