Ups:
- Nick Chubb: He remains the most consistent and brightest part of this offense. 87 more yards on the ground on 16 carries.
- Kicking/Punting game: Seibert nailed his only FG attempt and is now 8-8 on the season. Gillan had 4 of his 7 punts end up inside the 20 and continues to prove me wrong on keeping him over Colquitt.
- Jarvis Landry: Another solid game from Landry (unless I'm forgetting something)
Downs:
- Offense: There's so much that went wrong with this offense, I'm just including it all under one category.
-Baker was back to being uncomfortable in the pocket, quick to escape it, and his throws sailed.
-The OL was problematic, to say the least, particularly Greg Robinson. The "blocking" TE were just as bad.
-The play calling left a lot to be desired yet again, the schemes weren't great, the routing was congested at times, the preparation seemed virtually nonexistent, and the offense once again didn't seem to have a plan.
-Callaway was clearly not ready to come back. That's all I'll say. My brain is starting to hurt.
-Odell simply wasn't good. Two drops (one of those throws wasn't great but he still got both hands on it) and the lost fumble on the punt return (though he shouldn't have been in the game at that point)

- Run D: Just awful. The tackling, angles taken in pursuit, guys in over pursuit and taking themselves out of plays, just everything to do with the run D was terrible.
Niners' Notes:
- The Niners' 275 yards on the ground were their most since 2014 and 4th most since 1977
- This is the 9th time in the past 2 seasons the Browns have allowed 400+ yards of total yards
Brownie Bits:
- Most Rushing Yards through the first 5 weeks of a season in Browns history:
-Jim Brown (1958) 815
-Jim Brown (1963) 787
-Jim Brown (1965) 561
-Jim Brown (1959) 559
-Nick Chubb (2019) 485
-Jim Brown (1963) 787
-Jim Brown (1965) 561
-Jim Brown (1959) 559
-Nick Chubb (2019) 485
- Chubb has joined Jim Brown, Greg Pruitt, Mike Pruitt, and Leroy Kelly as the only Browns RB's to have two separate streaks of 5+ games with 60 or more rushing yards
Ok, my brain hurts even more after trying to think of any positives at all outside of Chubb, so I'm calling it here. I'll probably add some more tomorrow to fill it out more, but I at least wanted to get it posted tonight.
