Week 4: Browns @ Raiders

The pass could've been better, imo.

Off topic, and I haven't seen this mentioned, but I'm seeing/hearing a lot of these national analysts saying the Browns should've went for it on 4th & inches after the screw job. That would've been a pretty ballsy call but in hindsight it might have been the right one.

I was yelling for Hue to just go for it. I just knew because they were punting, Oakland would score AND get the 2 pt conversion. Imo, when the refs fuck you like that, you take the game into your own hands and end it so the refs can’t fuck you anymore. 

Fucking bullahit those two calls (overturning the Hyde run and the “forward progress” strip of carr). Even the next morning I can’t believe they did the browns like that.

So it wasn't really on Mayfield then--silver lining thing...and yeah, I really don't want to buy a new TV right now, so again--silver lining.

As BR said, the pass could've been better, but that shit was RIGHT in his hands and it popped up to the defender for a pick 6.  Considering Callaway was a total piece doing his best greg little impersonation (I think I counted 3-4 dropped passes), I would have to put that INT on him easily.   Look at the replay, and I am sure you will conclude that most of the blame would fall on Callaway.  I am not even a Mayfield apologist.  He had a very fickle game.  At times he was looking like a rookie and other times he showed something we all should look forward to in the future.  I am sure his "grade" after film review would be around average.

Yeah, then we would be cussing out Haley for calling his 10th jet sweep on 4th and inches.  We would also be cussing out Hue for making that decision.  It should have been a first fucking down, period.  The refs can go fuck themselves for overturning that.  If the roles were reversed, no doubt the would have sustained the first down for the Raiders.  With that being said, all the Browns had to do was prevent the Raiders from scoring a TD and 2 pt conversion with less than 1:30 to go (I believe) and they didn't.  They looked very below average yesterday, especially considering their performance the first three weeks.

As far as going for it, I'd have to wonder if Baker couldn't get at least 3 inches on a QB sneak but with the issues he was having under center they probably would've went with that sweep.

On a side note, I know that Hue seems to be loyal to some of his guys but Chubb needs more carries. I wonder that with his explosion if he doesn't get that 1st down on the Hyde overturn? Gee, he's only averaging 35 yards a carry, lol
