Greedy sucks, and our coach doesn't know how to use running backs.

They have to get some draft picks back after the haul they sent to the Texans.

That Bears game REALLY pissed me off last night. They did whatever they needed to do to win. Do I think that teams like Atlanta, NYJ's, Chargers & Ravens are better than the Browns? No, but they do whatever it takes to win.

I don't hate analytics but the Browns brass won't do whatever they need to do to win. They stay within their guardrails and don't deviate. If the analytics say "don't run Nick Chubb more than 24x's in a game" if they need a yard to seal that victory, and Chubb has 24 carries, Kareem Hunt is getting the ball. Do they want to win? Sure but it's gotta be their way. Will stick to their analytics even if it means taking the "L." If the analytics say "don't pick up a perennial All-Pro defensive tackle to help fix your run defense if he's over 30 years old" they won't deviate. It has to be THEIR way so they can prove that they're the smartest. Their smugness will earn them pink slips.

Oh, and just to show you PFF's value, the Browns should be 6-1 according to their "adjusted scoring analytics." SMDH

The PFF part makes sense. I think they were the better team, play to play, in every game but the Pats.

Coaches and players can blame the process and the analytics; no person is responsible for anything.  

...seems that's where EVERYTHING is heading.

In other less surprising news, Watson is accused of rape...Again....

Umm yeah, this newest accuser is "legit"....

#Browns QB Deshaun Watson filed a motion for sanctions after the latest lawsuit against him—claiming this woman's allegations against him weren't given a "reasonable inquiry" by the law firm before filing suit, providing messages they suggest may show "a case of unrequited love." pic.twitter.com/31PUUUB0TG

and how many of the others were just like this? I'm guessing probably like 20 or so.

Exactly. I believe maybe 2-3 may have been legit which is still 2-3 too many. The rest were money grabs.

Also some texts followed from this last "victim" that she'd "never accuse him of anything" and that she'd "love to fall in love with him."

No less legit than the 2 women who accused Roethlisberger.

I will never stop laughing at the endless contortions you put yourself in to support a proven serial sexual assaulter.

As you do as well.

And there's a big difference....I've never claimed Watson's complete innocence whereas you've come across as Super Sleuth McGruff the Crime Dog screaming the fat pig's innocence.

Browns want a 4th for Hunt...

I mean... we need picks for him.. but was hoping better than a 4th. Being a RB that's probably right. but being greedy i wanted more lol.

I was hoping for a 3rd with a few teams contending and having a need due to injuries.

Hunt's going to walk in FA after this season. Chances of this team making the playoffs are like 6%. 

How many times has a Cleveland team (see Tribe) let a good player walk in FA and got nothing in return? 

This is a player they revitalized off the scrap heap that they got for nothing. 

Take what you can get at this point. 

I'm sure Andrew Berry can wave his magic wand and parlay the pick into another Schwartz or Togiai.

I know this is wishful thinking but the Titans started a rookie QB yesterday. What did Mike Vrabel & Company do? They RAN the ball 45x's and gave Derrick Henry 32 carries. Would it be too much to ask Stefanski to do the same against a depleted Bengals defensive interior? Just sounds too easy so Stefanski will have Brissett throw it 35x's.

That sounds like a good plan, but Stefanski is smarter and has a better plan. He is going to save Chubb and Hunt for the playoffs that we won't make.

Wouldn't want to overuse Chubb (eye roll).

I laughed when they were trying to justify his lack of use in the 4th quarter saying he "gets tired as the game rolls on." Bullshit.

Chubb rushing yards by quarter.

1st: 230

2nd: 141

3rd: 131

4th: 238

The 4th is also his highest average per carry, most TD, most FD, and most 10+ yard carries. It's amazing what happens once the defense is worn down.

First drive. 2 carries for Chubb. Turning this off already.
