I don’t have a dog in the fight (no pun intended) because I neither like nor dislike the Browns but living here and listening to the homer media all offseason has been nauseating especially when they constantly put down josh Allen and crow about baker. The main thing they always go back to is accuracy. Mind you I’m pretty sure they’ve never actually watched him play but whatever. Baker is “incredibly accurate. Pinpoint accurate” they say over and over while making their plans to go to canton for his HOF speech. Every Thursday when they pick the games, they pick the Bills to lose simply because “I just don’t believe in josh Allen. He’s just not accurate.” They never say anything but that. Apparently he’s the only player on the team but I digress. Yet I’m constantly watching baker throw the ball haphazardly in the direction of no one. At least they could take off the homer glasses for a second. They do the same thing with Lamar Jackson too btw. “He’s a gimmick. He won’t last. It’s not sustainable. Baker is Drew Brees.” Maybe he is the most accurate QB to ever play the game. Maybe every single one of his throws go to the exactly spot that he intended to throw it to and it's everyone else that aren't where they should be? 1

Just like last year when the 49'ers got a bunch of prime time games all because they signed Jimmy Garoppolo, not because they were a good team.
MR8 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 4 hours ago, BuffaloBill said: They won the offseason(s). Drafted a QB with a huge personality, then picked up a WR with the same. Now all they need to do is sign AB and they will have the trifecta. Oh my god, can you imagine how bad things would get if AB went in to Cleveland to play with OBJ and Landry? People would be all about them being the best offense ever then AB would go all AB and the melt down would be AMAZING. 1
BuffaloBaumer Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I think Browns fans would be saying the same thing if we had to face that Rams D. Losing by 7 to them while they had the ball at the 5 yard line in the end is hardly a red flag and shows how far they have come in 1 year. 2

He is Steve Wilks of this year. One and done. He showed it in the postgame presser too. Had a bit of what I'd consider a meltdown on the press when they were asking him basic, thought-process questions. Just on the postgame alone, it seemed he isnt cut out for the job. 1

What does their drubbing at home at the hands of the Titans say? They're looking to be in a lousy place. Upcoming schedule road-heavy against TOUGH competition. 1

That’s exactly where they were a year ago. 1

We know what it is with Allen. In Mayfield's case, it has almost been the opposite: Annointed as a QB who will lead the Browns to the SB, even though, in games against good defenses, he has struggled. 2
row_33 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 okay, so hold on those Cleveland Browns 2019 Amazing Champions of All Time t-shirts for a bit... can't wait for the offseason to read 14,000 posts about how the 2020 Browns will shock and awe the world....

row_33 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 THIS is the 2019 Browns, as played by Terry Bradshaw
dpberr Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 That team played better under Gregg Williams last year. Kitchens IMO is another coordinator who's a great, bright coordinator but a mediocre coach. As head coach, he can't focus on what he did well last year with Mayfield and play calling.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Jeebus, nowadays that hit on Bradshaw would be a five year ban for the defensive player. Compensatory draft picks, too, to the QB’s team if you’re connected...? Edited September 23, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1

I think we'd all be freaking out if Josh Allen played like Baker Mayfield has in the first 3 games. That's really the end all, be all of this. 3 1

NFL films GLORIFIED in this hit, got Jon Facenda to call it and the orchestra with xylophone to hype it up some fans for that team still are touchy about it, basically cost them the 1976 season as a top dog, and a three-peat ------------------------ the Browns suck again??? actually 7-9 might take the division and a home playoff game in 2019.... but that can't quite be what i was reading about all offseason....

Bookie Man Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I feel bad for Browns fans (kinda). But that's also one less team in the WC hunt, if they don't get it together. One that was expected to be there.

After: “Hoo-WEE! You ever et good fresh catched gator?!” i watched the game, they duct-taped Terry to a board and stretchered him off, think they dropped him a few times on the way out of the stadium they didn't play "down on the corner" on the PA system like they did when Clark knocked McGahee out in the playoff game I understand Terry has mellowed a bit over the years on the play..... 1
Socal-805 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Cleveland probably makes the playoffs ahead of Buffalo: We have beaten 3 teams with a collective 1-8 record - from behind yesterday. 1 1
