if that 3rd string QB hadnt just picked up like 3 3rd down pickups and a 4th down touchdown I would agree. But christ in heaven you play to win. Who gives a shit if the raiders have an extra 30 seconds to do anything with.Everyone is bitching about running on 3rd and 4. We have our 3rd string QB in and a pro bowl RB behind him. Hand it to the fucking RB and tell him to get 4 yards. That was the right play call.
The down that will ultimately define this Browns season.that 3rd & 3...
The Raiders took possession with 1:50 and no timeouts.
Special shoutout to Colquitt for hitting the punt off the side of his foot. Special teams, including Mike Priefer, totally fucked us.
Ill be honest, i saw the same play calling tonight as the rest of the season. Maybe this was a touch more conservative, but i saw all the same flaws ive seen all season with this offense. Receiver routes that dont go to the first down marker, nothing but short and midrange routes. its all the same bullshit. The only thing tonight that i noticed was the run up the middle on first down. Besides that same conservative horseshit play callingThis is probably the first game of the season I've been truly disappointed with the offensive coaching.
There have been a lot of games earlier this year where the coaches and the scheme have clearly been hamstrung by players (mostly QB) who just couldn't execute.
This game wasn't that. The offense looked competent and capable every time they actually opened it up and allowed Mullens to actually make reads and push the ball. Passing successfully opened up the run as it always does, and they just coached so unbelievably conservative.
They actively hurt their chances tonight with their decision to coach so conservative.
3rd string QB had a metric fuck ton of momentum in front of a home crowd after leading a TD drive to take the lead and his defense picking the other team's QB, who hadn't been all that good all night.Everyone is bitching about running on 3rd and 4. We have our 3rd string QB in and a pro bowl RB behind him. Hand it to the fucking RB and tell him to get 4 yards. That was the right play call.
5 of our 7 losses this season are by 6 points or less. I know this happens a lot in the NFL but damn, everyone of those games hurts so much.

The perfect time for a play action pass or something to throw the defense off.The down that will ultimately define this Browns season.
