Excuses are like buttcracks. Baker has been coming up short since his rookie year and given the benefit of the doubt every time- at some point he has to be held accountable. He was without his WRs, yes, but this WR crew isn't exactly a star studded affair. He had his full ensemble of TEs. He has arguably the best backfield in the NFL, one of which is one of the best pass catching RBs in the game. I'm sorry but he is far too streaky to have been the no 1 pick, especially when 2 others from his class have been and look to be studs. I want Baker to rise up like those 2 do; I want him to pull the Browns up like Lamar does, finding ways to win even when the cards are stacked against you. Silly me I guess.
Sorry, but this had a chance to be their finest hour. Instead, it is just more 'Woe Is Us' bullshit where people buy all the excuses for a 100 million dollar payroll. What happened sucks- but there's no excuse to lose to a Jets team that has been mailing it in since 2019. Just pathetic.
Also: I joke about Stefanski, he has done a fine job, but that's because I find it bizarre that the only coach that fans regulary call for is the one black coordinator while his boss gets a pass for the shit defense. Just strikes me as odd.
