The problem is that they couldn’t trust him to do it the drive before either.We already know who Baker is at this point. But to crucify him for not winning the game in a situation where it is less than 2 minutes with no TO, bad shoulder and all that is crazy. Even the greatest QBs would have a difficult time executing that.

Our offense had no time outs, and our three top offensive tackles were all out. We had to keep guys in to try to chip pass rushers, which meant that the guys who were going out for passes were blanketed. Their pass rushers could absolutely tee off on our guys, while still keeping 7 dropped back. Hell, on that last Hail Mary, our pass catchers even took each other out of the play.I won't sit here and argue that the defense was great today, but I'd sooner pin blame on the offense for not being able to execute a game winning drive with 1:31 on the clock.
What’s bugs me so much about that PI is that it rewarded a MASSIVE risk that did not deserve payoff. The Browns should have gotten the fruits of that failure by the chargersI don't even know how to feel right now. I'm so pissed.
Regardless that the Browns blew two coverages and Williams walked into the endzone wide open, I keep coming back to that bullshit PI call.
I'd say they should allow those calls to be reviewed, but they had that last year, and they pretty much never reversed the call. The Browns got hosed despite all the miscues.
So pissed.
I can think of several QBs that could do it.If your team is in position to have to win games with 1:30 on the clock and no TOs, needing a touchdown then you won't be winning most of those.
That makes it worse to me - not for Baker but for KS. He needed to slam the door shut and he effectively neutered the team while giving it back to a very hot offense. Doesn’t make sense to meFor the don’t trust Baker crowd.
Stefanski presser said that he played conservative because he had back up tackles and didn’t want anything bad to happen.
You either trust his words or you don’t.
ObJ could go catch less for the next 10 weeks and I swear the same crew would still defend him.
