D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I've said it before and still believe it, Baker is close to if not at what he is. Not saying that's terrible, but he doesn't have much more upside. 1

Their O-Line, LBs and secondary outside of ward aren’t that good. Their whole starting secondary was out last night. I think Ward is good but he is not being utilized well in Wilkes D. He runs a zone D and Ward is best in man.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I know that they will ‘flex schedule’ a team into the prime time spot if it’s performing well. Have they every flexed one out for being a dud? ?

YoloinOhio Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 After all of this though all they need to do is beat the Ravens this week and they will be atop the AFC north. They have their whole season ahead of them even though their schedule is tough coming up. But I don’t trust a coaching matchup between John Harbaugh and Freddie Kitchens. Baker didn’t play well vs their D last year. 1

If anyone was my guy it was Rosen. My thoughts on the 2018 QBs then, now and going forward were all laid out in a thread last week. You will be glad to know I had Josh Allen as now the most likely to be a future Franchise QB. It will tickle your homer gene. My only defense of Baker is to say the coaching in Cleveland is a much bigger problem than the Quarterbacking. I never said that here with Josh last year because what I have always been is the big McDermott booster. I was campaigning for him to get this job a year before the fat man was fired.

Was talking about the Super Bowl hype before the season. I agree with you on Ward and you can say the same about Greedy. Both are better in man.
Captain Hindsight Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Anyone paying attention this offseason could have told you they were going to struggle. No Oline to speak of and a rookie HC? I thought playoffs were possible with all that talent, but i thought people betting them to win the SB was laughably optimistic

CLTbills Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: The whole reason he got the job was because of mayfield. It’s bizarre. I just don’t think he’s ready to handle HC and the offense, so he’s letting Todd monken handle a lot, which is impacting things. There are some guys who are GREAT coordinators, but terrible head coaches. For whatever reason, they're just not good at managing all of the things that come with being a HC - the biggest thing being managing the people. We've seen plenty here. i.e. Rex Ryan. Leslie Frazier. Dick Jauron. Hell, you could even throw Adam Gase into that (although the one year that made him a "hot" candidate for HC, was coaching Peyton freaking Manning). I, for one, am happy that we have one that was a great coordinator AND a great Head Coach. 2
PetermansRedemption Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Baker on the year, 57% completions, 3TD, 5INTS, 805 yards. Poor coaching? Or player regression?

KGun12TD Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 When you have a bunch of DBags talking too much about how great they're going to be...this is what you get. I hate their QB as well. 1
Billsatlastin2018 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Fans were baffled. According to ESPN research, there has never been a draw called on a 4th and 9 or more since 2007. NFL Hall of Famer and FS1 “First Things First” co-host Chris Carter pointed this out Monday morning, questioning Kitchens’ play call. “I hadn’t seen in all my years of watching, since I coached little league, on fourth down I’m getting ready to run a draw on 4th and 9 and I’m gonna pick it up,” said Carter. “If I put the ball in the air there is a chance I can get pass interference. Once you decide to run, you negate all that…In that situation, it’s very, very tough.” No shite! HC of the Clowns... looking like random sunburnt, homeless guy- out of his depth. Plus at Home, his team had 3 FS penalties & 3 motion. Inexcusable! 1

It’s not his fault he’s been dubbed by the media and the idiot football “genius’s” that he would be the 2nd coming. But it I do really like his personality and his commercials. The ones about getting his house in order are awesome.

By the time they catch a "break" playing the Broncos they might already be out of it at 1-6. Wow. The Brownies were in trouble when they promoted Kitchens to HC. He is horrible. 1 1
