Steptide Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 I kinda wish the Browns kicker had made that extra point after their first td. Woulda made it 20-16 on that last drive and forced the bills to play for the td 1

Basically I am giving you another reason for wishing their kicker had made that XP.

msw2112 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) As mentioned above, the most egregious error was on 3rd down. Hausch has not been good this year and wasn't good in this game, but he has certainly made many from 50+ in his career and he has made several clutch kicks. We have not been effective on 4th down, so statistics aside, I think our chances of making the FG were about as good as getting the 1st down (and then working for a FG or TD). But the play call and clock management on 3rd and 4, and then the ensuing chaos was terrible. Did you see the camera shot of Hausch on the sidelines trying to trot onto the field, but he was held back, then they decided to go for the FG after all? That chaotic sequence may have messed with his mind a little bit. Also, did anyone else notice the so-so hold? I'm not an expert, but I think the laces are supposed to be 180 degrees from the kicker's foot when spun correctly. In this case, the spin only put the laces 90 degrees from the kicker's foot.

We lost and it's over onto Miami.
frostbitmic Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Once they reached the 35 yard line, a 53 yard FG should've been their last choice. They wasted time, they wasted downs, they wasted an opportunity to gain more yardage and win the game, or a better chance of taking the game to OT. Sometimes players suck ... In Cleveland the decision making sucked. 1

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 The whole last series was a cluster bad word. It was brutal to watch. So stupid to blame the kicker. It’s like the SB where they just settled for the Norwood kick. 1

If Josh hits that there is a good chance we get a TD. Josh does a good job throwing back shoulder so I have no problem with that throw with the game on the line. It worked against the Jets week 1, so you should have a problem with that call too. Either way Haushka needs to be reliable when we need him most.
njbuff Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Inexcusable sequence there at the end of the game. Who's it on.......... HC? OC? QB? Whomever it was, they ROBBED defeat from the jaws of victory with that sequence. If I was the owner of the team, I want an explanation from all three I mentioned to make sure that they are better prepared for the next time it happens. Teams lose games. I totally get that and can live with that, but you have a MAJOR hand in the way you lost the game, it's inexcusable.
