If Browns miss the last FG, everybody here is singing a different tune....

 I would not. To even be close to a Browns team lead by the backup QB at home and pull a rabbit out of a hat after sucking for three straight quarters it is nothing to jump for Joy about. It would have been a typical Rhule win, where he only gets wins against terrible teams. That did not happen however, and we lost one of the easier games on our schedule this year while continuing to make an absolute joke of our “home field  advantage”.

Absolutely not - what an absurd premise. A missed FG or last-second win because the Browns wanted to lose more than Carolina does not wash away the awfulness of the first half and other ineptitudes observed yesterday and for the last 2 years. Let's see what week 2 holds in store.

If the O line didn’t look like one of the worst in the league for a third year, if we didn’t have more botched snaps l/batted passes than a high school game, if we had a full game of solid QB play, if we were to get big production out of CMC, if the D line didn’t look worse than last year against a statue backup QB, if our linebackers looked like they belonged in the NFL, if Henderson didn’t tackle a WR 5 seconds before the ball arrived wiping out an end zone pick, we would all be singing a different tune.

Did the Baker and offense struggle for almost 3 quarters, yes.

Did the team struggle stopping the run and tackling for more than a half, yes.

Has CMC played at all this preseason? No. 

Did they put all it together and almost win it, yes. 

Missed FG and its bright spots and sunshine instead of gloom and doom.

Game 1. Let's see how they respond in NY.

 

But I will say the fans at the stadium were bringing the noise when it was needed. 

 

Nice try but prepare for the flow of pessimism coming...lol

Missed FG or not they still gave up over 200 yards on the ground. Their last go ahead possession we watched them not even try for a TD and instead ran against a stacked box until Pinero kicked the FG. Down by 2, and Rhule only wanted 3. I would have preferred at least a shot at 6/7. No way that CLE offense was going to drive the length of the field and score a TD

I have watched a replay of the game twice now (thanks NFL+) and man….. we had 2 pass plays drawn up there at the end before the field goal. That damn bobbled snap…. We would have had both shi open and CMC 1v1 against the safety. Damn it. 
 

the 3rd down we had an RPO drawn up but the browns triple teamed Moore.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
