Can we imagine the reaction here if rhule had went ballistic on the sideline and got a 15 yd penalty.  

Staring off into space as the game slips away at home and walking out of the stadium with a timeout in your back pocket is vintage Ron Rivera. We already let go of that guy.

This is one of the weirder discussions I’ve seen, and that says a lot. We were in the lead at the end of the game. Doesn’t matter what happened before that. Should we been better? Yes. Does Rhule suck? Yes. Is it our fault we are in this situation? Yes.

But at this point we were in the lead, unless people want to say we weren’t in the lead (hint, we were in the lead). On the final Browns drive they got two extremely questionable calls going their way, and won the game. There is no big conspiracy theory here, the refs messed up and thereby helped the Browns win. This could not be more clear.

We were in the lead, however, the Browns still completed two passes to get into field goal range and then their rookie kicker drilled a 58 yard field goal… are we going to give the refs credit for those three plays as well? In reality the Browns got a free 15 yards and that’s it, they still marched themselves into field goal range and it’s debatable whether or not they make the kick if backed up 10 additional yards… the kick that they did get off certainly would have been good from 68… so there’s that.

Weird, I don’t remember the refs completing two passes to get into field goal range and then kicking the field goal.

ahh makes sense.. you must also not remember the 15 free yards and not taking the loss of down plus 10 second run off to make a 70 yarder then too. stfu troll

There’s so much wrong with your post…

It’s a 10 yard penalty… making the field goal a 68 yarder… the kick that York hit was clearly good from 68… math much?

A loss of down does absolutely nothing… are you brain dead? When you spike the ball you are giving away the down… it still would have been fourth down.

The 10 second run off doesn’t mean the clock keeps running, it means the clock gets wound down to 3 seconds (as there were 13 seconds on the clock) and it stays there until the ball gets set…

Have some poo for being incompetent.

dumb take. we had won the game until the refs gave the browns the win.

I mean we don’t even actually know that for a fact.   Likely?  Yes.  Rookie’s kick would have been good even pushed back 10 yards.   It had the distance.   He has 70 yard distance apparently that he displayed in preseason.  Or maybe they go for a Hail Mary….and the heavy penalty ridden Panther D does something dumb.  No one knows. 

it might be a dumb take but it’s the position every reputable coach generally has.   Same for players.  It’s the same logic when a Panther kicker misses a would be game winning kick at the end….and the players say the missed kick didn’t actually lose the game.  It was all the other plays before it that were the reason.  No game is actually decided by any one play or call.  We just talk about the ones at the end. 

you can’t be as bad as we were Sunday and totally excuse that from why we ended up with an L.  NFL refs are always bad.  We played with fire being content letting the Browns have a shot and got burned really bad by it. 

But it was a poo call.  They should fire refs that don’t know the rules.  Especially after consulting each other on it.

How do you not use our last time out to try and ice the kicker? Kicking that far twice in a row probably isn't the easiest thing in the world

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
