Haha Nicole is never going to stop catching flack.

His time with us tanked this franchise. I can't even hear Sam Darnold's name without cringing. I don't want to list off players like CJ Henderson ect, but it's sufficed to say that he ruined us. Priority one was landing a QB. He failed miserably, and built a poop team too boot. 2 wins in 2023. 2. Brutal.

I think anyone watching this season can see that Young is a bust. Could we build a super team around him and drag him to a wildcard loss? Yes of course. You can do that with a variety of backup QBs as well. But why? You can't have a great roster year in and year out due to free agency. Yes superior coaches can have your team overachieving, but look what just happened to the Dolphins. Imo you go into an immediate QB search and don't stop until we clearly have "the guy". A QB who elevates the team around him, and has the ability to go toe to toe with guys like Mahomes. Otherwise, why would you expect to ever win the SB? You shouldn't expect a SB win with Young. You'd have to be crazy.

I wish Fitt could get in a time machine and go back and fix this and bring back CMC. He really wrecked this franchise.

I think Watson caught it.

That's a heck of a play by Mahomes.

I swear they have a camera dedicated to Swift.

Game over. See you in the other game threads.

Wow Browns gave up.

And make it seem like he was stupid.

Flacco has a stronger arm, and knows how to play QB in the NFL. Young tippy toes and can hardly see, and his deep ball is usually off by miles. Yeah I'd rather have Flacco as well, but Young can improve some with coaching.

The fact that we need a LT is the most depressing part.

Tepper wanted a point guard who could distribute the ball around and save us money on WRs. That's the owner of our team. Of course we're ruined. Of course we are.

Nice comeback story for Flacco, but CJ is balling tonight. Goodnight Browns.

We can't even enjoy this playoff game without thinking of what could have been.

CJ lighting it UP!

Refs ruining the game of course.

A Texans WR went for an ill advised throw and got his arm hit at an awkward angle. Not sure who.

Look at CJ stand there strong and take the hit and deliver the deep ball.

Texans defense is swarming.

Might be a shoulder injury from the looks of it.

I have several streaming services, including Peacock, just in case something like this happens. So I'll fire up Peacock which I rarely use.

Effective offense. During the Cam era we just used him as a battering ram and that made up for offensive incompetence. Once Cam's body starting wearing down we relied on a potential HoF RB in CMC for offense, and then he started wearing down. The problem was that we never had the staff in place to create an offensive system that could be effective without a generational talent dragging the team down the field. Then Fitt traded CMC... dear god. We found out how idiotic a lot of coaches and coordinators are at the NFL level. Frank and Beans embarrassed himself to the point where I don't think he can show his face in Charlotte without feeling some kind of shame. His play calls were moronic. Period. So thanks to Fitt we really don't have a special player who can elevate mediocre play calling. Fitt flopped in the draft, and his free agents were TERRIBLE, and he stripped the offense of DJ and CMC. DJ I could forgive, but CMC was propping up the offense. We didn't need to trade CMC to draft Young (who looks terrible). We have no offense. That's what we're missing. We're bad at every position on offense except slot receiver, RT, and RB. Think about that. That's how bad Fitt was at roster building. All our positions on offense are bad except slot receiver, RT, and RB. We need to fill so many positions that being decent in 2024 is out of the question. Where to start? LT - Icky will need to move inside. His pass blocking is HORRENDOUS. That means we need to draft a LT, or move Christensen to LT. G - I hate all of our guards. All of them except Corbett whose knee is beyond ruined. C - Bozeman is a slow lurching fatso who yells at our weird, blank, emotionless QB. This is follwed by Young crying in the locker room. Great. We need a more athletic C who can actually pass block. TE - We don't have any. The only way our poop TEs can look good is when we play GB's legendarily bad secondary. Draft at will, or find a free agent. WR - We need a #1 and #2. What a nightmare. It doesn't get any worse than that. RB - If we're sticking with noodle arm, then someone else has to make explosive plays. We need an elite RB so long as Young is our QB. RB is the least of our concerns on offense, but if a potential superstar RB falls in our lap, then pull the trigger. If for no other reason than to give me someone fun to watch on Sundays. I honestly don't know of our 2023 team could beat our 2010 Pickles team. It would be a close game, maybe the 2023 team wins 2 to 3. I'm running draft simulations here and there to show everyone what I'd like to do to fix this team, but 2024 is not going to go well no matter what we do. 2025 maybe.
