zonabb Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Exactly as I predicted. A loss. I said Chubb would run over this team, he did. I said that would open up the passing game, it did. In the end, this isn't on the kicker, as every homer and excuse maker here wants to make. A 52 yarder to tie the game, on grass, for a kicker who kicks on turf, isn't a gimme. Allen sucked today. He's slow and indecisive. And the coaching didn't help. Singletary had as many touches as that pile of human excrement for the Browns that hasn't played in a year. And the FO's fingerprints are all over this as well. The drafted a raw, real f'in raw, QB. They went out and grabbed a bunch of mediocre smurfs to play WR. They signed a lot of mediocre FA OL who aren't good. What they did n FA was depth moves teams make but for this team, they're starters. So keep up the homer talk, but this team is what I and many others have said while being accused of being anti-fans. They have 6 wins against garbage teams. This one is on Allen's suckitude and Daboll's garbage offense. To win you need to outscore the opponent and this team wins close games against bad teams and can never win a game on their own. Every win is a squeaker thanks to the D. Relying on that gets you what you got today. When you hear the Raven's threw out their playbooks and redesigned their entire offense around Jackson and Daboll runs the same predictable 3 and 5 slants week after week, you should understand this team will be rebuilding in 2021-2022 after the failed Allen experiment ends on 2020. I won my bet today, took the Browns -2.5. Easiest pick of the week. Bills haven't beat anyone and the Browns have been beaten by good teams. If you couldn't see that, you're staring through your rose colored glasses. This team ends 9-7 and outside the playoffs. Losses to the Ravens, Cowboys, Steelers, and Pats and it's over. I wouldn't be shocked if they finish 8-8 and also lose against the Broncos at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can barely hit a guy in stride unless he has 4 seconds and completely clean pocket. I had hope for him in the beginning of the season, there's no hope now. He simply doesn't have the it factor, nor does he have a single strong go to ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they have no clue how a clock works. Like yeah let's throw a pass to Singletary.. he gets tackled then let's burn at least 25 seconds before the next play and leave 26 seconds on the gameclock at the CLE 35-yard line. We had 59 seconds left with a timeout left from their 41-yard line then one play later we have 26 seconds left from their 35-yard line. Seriously WTH. I'll see so many scenarios in college where there will be 1:52 on the clock.. the other team has no timeouts left and it's 1st down and the other team comes out and runs a play instead of victory formation. NFL has a lot of issues like that too. The IQ level of so many football players and coaches makes you wonder how they can even tie their own shoelaces. So you’re saying we ran out of time?

Two missed FGs are the partly the difference. So the defense didn't let Baker march them down and let Chubb rumbled for like 20 yds with half the defense on his back? But hey, it's all Allen's fault because that fits your narrative. It’s the NFL, every offense is going to make plays from time to time, even the worst. The Bengals scored today... It’s not any narrative, the defense held them to 19 points, they did their job. That drive should’ve been garbage time for Mayfield. The defense shut down hoe many goal to go try’s in a row? Came up with a huge safety to tie the game. Yeah, this loss is on the ineptness of the offense. Hauschka can get like 5%, but again they should be scoring Touchdowns. The offense needs to convert the big plays that are afforded to them. No, none of this loss is on the defense, sorry Charlie.

Wake the ***** up. 52% completion percentage was the problem. Overthrows, under throws, bad throws, thays the problem. Dont blame the OC for calling the perfect play your Qb cant execute. So sick of your excuses. Allen just isnt good enough. Face it. Own it. Devise a plan to FIX IT. So Daboll has a proven track record of good offenses? This offense is stuck in a rut and I am not really sure if it would not be stuck in a rut with any other QB at the helm He shares the blame, there is no way that 2-minute drill should have looked like it did. Your team should be prepared and ready to spike the ball when you catch it in bounds for a 1st and the clock is still running. They looked like the keystone cops out there. Then calling a screen when your average for having those work is n the single digit percentages. I think I know what he was thinking and that is that it should work with the Browns playing deep and only a few guys rushing, but teams know to stay disciplined playing against Allen and not to lose contain. So defensive lines particularly the ends know that they cannot get too deep in their pass rush and that is why they are in good position to sniff out those screens almost every time. So don't call it if it is rarely if ever there even if most fans are screaming for it. The O-line struggled today in pass-pro too, and Allen was much better when he could step into throws, but overall Allen did not have a good game IMO. He particularly had accuracy issues early in the game, so I am not an apologist. He too needs to show more improvement to make it in this league. I do think he took a lot off his throws to Knox to try to help him make those catches on those deeper outs and that allowed defenders to close the gap - Knox needs to be able to catch those outs thrown with heat because they are supposed to get there fast.

Bob in STL Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Easy to blame the kicker, and yes he should make that 34 yarder (or whatever it was), but the offense is just not getting the job done. Expecting to tie the game on the road, on grass with a 53 yard FG is stupid. Play calling or execution? - its both. Playing calling is only part of it. No 100 yard rusher for us again this week, no big play threats at WRs. More dropped balls. More inaccurate passes by Allen. Dumb penalties including two penalties in a row after the safety and free kick. Two more penalties by #85. Terrible game and clock management by Allen/Daboll on the last drive … just plain terrible. Have we no ability to run the no huddle and call plays at the line? Do we practice this? Answer must be no because we never do it. Huddling in the last minute right after a time out? McD needs to get this fixed. Defense - More trouble with the run again but eventually they figured it out. Good game overall but they failed to hold with the game on the line. We have a good defense that needs a #2 CB and some run stuffing help to be a great defense. Meanwhile we need to fit #39 for a flame ######ant uniform. Special Teams - uninspired once again. Cleveland is a talented but terrible team. Their coach is a mess and he has no business in this league. Their sideline is filled with drama and confusion. Their players are undisciplined. It sucks to lose to Cleveland and this could be one of the games we point to at the end of the season if things get worse.

suorangefan4 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I said it quite a few times in the GDT and I'll say it again. The refs aren't the main reason we lost but this nonsense where they call the Bills for about 4 holds every week while calling our opponents for none (even though they're holding too) is really old. Holding is one of the worst rules in all of sports because it's called so inconsistently and it lets refs pick and choose when and which team they want to call it on. When you're putting one team 10 yards behind the sticks on four different possessions and not a single time for the other team on such a subjective call that could be called on the majority of plays then I take huge issue with it.
