Yeah, I bet everybody would like to have that throw back while legs get wrapped up. The Browns were down with time running out and passes had to be called in order to have a chance to win against the AFC's superbowl representative last year. People love to point fingers at Mayfield for interceptions, but did he throw tons of interceptions his rookie year? Last year? "No, but he did throw a lot in 2019 when he didn't have a decent line and the league figured out the embarrassing one and done coach". He threw eight interceptions last year. Eight. With a new coach.

I am dog/cat sitting and the people that live here don't have live tv, and there is no place near enough to get to that would show any games. I guess that is what you get in the sticks, but I don't have a car here to use to get to a place that would show the games. I will watch the extended highlights of the rest of the games tonight. It does seem that the defense just couldn't hold the Chiefs back in the second half, but the punter panicked and didn't even try to get the kick off when the punt was super-well blocked by the Browns. I am of the mind that you really can't lay a loss on any one player, although that punt was pivotal. I guess it is no shame when the Chiefs score enough on your team, but I don't know that many people actually expected the Browns to win this one. They did play well, at least that is the consensus.

And I did notice the duress and impact the defender was having on his throwing motion. And absolutely no guarantee they would have gone down and scored. None. But if that were Johnny Unitas, he would have thrown it into the stands or golly taken a sack. Fact is he was trying to make a play while under duress and it was a bonehead decision. I used to hate Baker but lately I find myself rooting for him. Still it was a classic Browning it move. I don’t see why you pay a man a huge salary until he shows he can play with the big boys.

I would take him over the Raven's guy, but it is still a toss-up for me with the Bills guy. I still worry about Allen and interceptions/accuracy, but he was great last year. Time will tell on how all these guys sort out, but QB is such a crapshoot, and especially for the Browns. When the Browns take a guy with a winning record after his first three years, you have to consider that a major success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just pointing out that team is still learning how to win. I’m very familiar with the heartache and signs. I was a Seahawks fan for 30 years before the Allen era and I know the grind of getting over that loser hump. That shit is real. Being in Pitt I suppose that’s foreign to you.

It's a really, really hard thing to get out of. but when they do -- and they will arrive -- nobody's gonna want to face them in the AFC. I think the Bills gel and continue their run.

Fine, but the Chief players should pool money to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
