MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL vs Ravens

[Lee]

Denzel Ward’s injury really hurt this game. MJ Stewart has no place in the NFL, let alone playing major snaps in the biggest Brown’s game in the last decade.

Really missing a starting secondary, Delpit and Greedy all year, Harrison and Ward out for several weeks....but all teams have injuries right now. Also need to improve our LB's

Mayfield had something like 24 passes in the 1st half.

Last three weeks, as the defense has gotten worse and worse, the pass attempts have gone up and up.

Scoring points is nice. I get it.

But that's not the strength of this team and it just exposes the defense.

They wanna get a win in the playoffs, they need to make the game low scoring and ugly.

Completely agree. The gameplan should have been to run the ball, limit possessions.

On defense, contain lamar and dont give up the middle.

The actual game olan was the exact opposite

Losing to Lamar is like losing to Jordan or Bron. You are just playing a part in the larger story of greatness.

If you keep him in the pocket it's like losing to Sam Darnold. Which with Joe Woods at the helm I hope they don't manage to do.

I mean the secondary...the Ravens ran for like 250 yards on 7.1 ypc.

Felt like the Raiders game. Where the Browns knew the other team was just gonna run and run and run and there was nothing they could do to stop it.

Baker made one bad throw. I don’t think it was a mistake. A mistake is attempting to make a throw that isn’t there. The INT was a play where, if he pushes the ball to the sideline, it is a completion. But he didn’t drive it outside hard enough and it just barely gave the linebacker a chance to make a great catch.

Beyond that, he made a lot of really clutch plays and throws. Last few drives were especially sharp. I have criticized Baker a lot but it just feels like he has really turned the corner. In the past, a bad throw like that would have spiraled the game out of control. But he bounced back, gave us a chance to win, we just have a horrendous defense.

It's good to know you're just as obnoxious in this part of the forum as all the others.

Really is

Defense is bad; luckily we have the means to work on it in on the offseason

But I think we found our QB

 

[Marcus]

Man... the Browns fumbled seven times tonight. And forced one punt. And STILL lost on a last second field goal after being down two scores and taking the lead.

Baltimore fans can jerk themselves off to Lamar all they want; he's going to be a first round exit every single year. I'm taking Baker and a team with some playoff experience to go with a (hopefully) much improved defense next year.

The good news? Wayne Gallman and Tre Johnson arent that scary. I wanted this one bad. But making the playoffs is all that matters. It’s just going to come a little harder now. Beat the teams they should beat the next two weeks, and let’s party like it’s 2002.

Which is so weird because we knew the Titans were going to do that too and somehow randomly were able to stop it.

Without Ward and Harrison this is probably the worst defense in the league. People don’t know yet because the stats are helped out by those atrocious weather games.

I’m not even sure the defense is better than bottom 5 with those guys. It’s a shit show.

 

[benchplayer]

The biggest blow to me with the missed FG's.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Today really underscored how fucking terrible Mack Wilson is too.

 

[redscoon]

Injuries or not, you have to come into this thinking you can’t let Lamar run wild on you. They don’t have a lot of playmakers on offense. Make him beat you through the air. Your offense is rolling, just don’t give up the low hanging fruit to them when you are on D. Instead, you allow 124 yards and 2 TDs on 9 rushes.

We got hyped after the 1st half of Tennessee, but the 2nd half is closer to the norm. A good team is going to go up and down the field on this defense all damn day.

The defense didn't stop Henry. The offense did.
