2024 Cleveland Browns Season Thread

Watson didn't play poorly yesterday but this was the last 4th & 3 play where he took the sack...

Screenshots are so stupid. How TF is he supposed to see the guys on the right? Is he just supposed to ignore the 1st and 2nd option on the play? The right side is option 3/4 and he had no chance to pivot and make that throw. 

Arguable the deep corner route is open, but the defender is cutting off any throw that is on a line there. I think throwing with some loft, to the back corner of endzone, probably works. But that is a tough and risky throw with game on line. 

Ultimetly, Stefanski drew up shit. Run a 3 yard play. Why did he send 3 WRs on longer developing routes to the endzone, when the field was short...

Bottom line; it is basically unwatchable right now. 

I don’t understand how Watson can be so bad. Last game was better, but awful so far. 

Not that this is going to happen but I'm ready to see DTR, full-time. Last week wasn't on Watson but this week he was god awful. The sacks he took, for the most part, were on him and he's missing wide open receivers. Said it before, and I'll repeat myself, his "IDGAF" attitude is rubbing off on almost everyone.

Carolina, or not, I'm hard pressed to see this team win another game. It's like Groundhog Day where they're back playing for the top pick in the draft.

F#cking thieves of joy.

From an outsider…DTR isn’t the answer but his Daniels like characteristics are appealing. 

From my view the Browns feel like the Reds. Stefanski is Bell and so many things need “cleaned up”

They don’t even think about running, line isn’t good, defensive injuries and I just don’t know what happened to Watson but he’s been a shell of his former self

As far as the running game, whoever thought that our current group are all better than Kareem Hunt should be fired.

Apparently you forget that Hunt's only value last year was near the goal line. Between the 20's he was far from a bell cow and the Browns O-Line has gotten worse this year. I also think that Andy Reid is very good at getting the best out of "so so" players (see JuJu).

Hunt would be the best active RB on the roster but he still wouldn't be a difference maker behind this sad sack offensive line.

What’s the prognosis on their offensive line? I know they’re banged up. Are they anticipating getting anyone back sooner or later? Or are they just overall bad aside from injuries

4 out of 5 of the starters have been injured or missed prolonged time. Couple that with losing the best O-Line coach in the league to Tennessee when he went to work for his son.

So this one may be the one that gets them out of the Watson contract?

Either way -- this is the worst one yet, and the Browns have to just eat it and cut him if this is true. No chance you can regain any shred of fan acceptance if you keep him.

Nope she settles out of court.

Yeah, that kills. Steelers had their great o-line coach that left for Denver years back and since then from last 4 years of Ben on….no time to pass ever

Not that it matters, at this point, but Nick Chubb will return to action against the Bengals on 10/20 at home. Whatever crowd shows up should be excited to see him.

Can’t wait for him to rush for 250 yards as the Browns beat the Bengals 55-52. Burrow’s seven touchdowns won’t quite be enough.

I do t feel like there is enough time for those stats/scores

And Myles Garrett again shows why he's a freak of nature. The block last year against Indy was still better. Shocked they are still in this game. More running plays, less Watson, please?

He flinched, not sure he crossed the line….jumped over line, blocked kick….TD. Eagles coach was a moron before half. Called timeout with 25 seconds when he could’ve let clock tick to 3 seconds. Had they missed browns could’ve had time for FG range. Worked out even better.

Watt has had 2 perfect timing snap reads for strip fumble/sacks and turnover, called offsides both times.

Watson is so bad.

Pretty uninspired honestly. Unforced penalties amuck. Watson, well at least he’s rich

It’s Haslam and/or Berry making Stefanski stick with Watson right?
