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

You mean if we had even iced the kicker? Ya. Can’t fix Rhule.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd still be saying we were gifted a win due to facing a team playing a backup QB. They're blowing us out by halftime with decent QB play. Brissett was our best player single handedly keeping us in the game missing numerous open recievers deep.

Hypothetically , if we iced him and he had gotten a kick off while we called time out and missed it. Then the ensuing play he proceeds to make the field goal. Do you think everyone would be angry for attempting to ice the kicker ?

 

Honest question. This kept me up last night thinking about it.

I think you ice them ya. Before they get the snap off. That way they don’t get a chance to adjust. At least it’s trying, even if it fails. You get in their head, in theory at least.

 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”. 

" a typical Rhule win". Oxymoron.

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. 

The part I don't get, is why CMC up the gut on the next down.  I get the fumbled snap blew things up. But surely there could have been another run that would have had a better chance for more yards to set up  shot for first down.

The panthers have looked amateurish on offense for 3 years straight. Even if they beat the browns fielding a backup QB most fans would look at that performance as more of the same from the panthers. 21 yards on 20 plays is all time bad.

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. 

 

 

As bad as the offense was for most of the game, that defense looked horrible yesterday.  Even if we would have won yesterday, in the grand scheme, we don't look like a good team this year.  Overhaul, overhaul, overhaul!!!
