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

If we won we would have more posts accentuating the positives and there would be less celebration/victory laps from the haters.     They say they don't, but some people really really want us to lose and they get all giddy with every loss.  Losses = End of Rhule.

In the end, Rhule still screwed up, the D couldn't stop the run, and the O looked lifeless in the early game.  Complaints on this board about Rhule will never stop until he gets a lot of wins, and so far, he hasn't gotten many.  Even if Rhule is fired it won't stop.   It will transition to how bad he WAS.  We'll mostly move on to beat the living tar out of whoever the next coach is, if we're not in the SB by year 3.

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. 

rhule thought he could weasel a win...thats what weasels do.... NOT IN THE NFL BOI.

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.

Yeah, it works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't.   Of all the things we did wrong, that's near the bottom of the list.

Reports said York took a practice shot from that distance and missed.  That rookie said he adjusted based on the wind and that earlier kick.

This team was unprepared , outplayed , and got their asses kicked. Don’t care how close the final score was - the browns came in here and punched us right in the mouth. They won just about every category in the game. It was only close because they had a poo poo QB playing

That was the only reason it was going to be close anyway.. They have the better roster, better coach and team that has been together for a few years..

Reports also said he was hitting 69 yarders effortlessly

If he missed the kick, the majority of the board would still be calling out all the same stuff.   The team was totally unprepared and the game plan was horrible.    The kick going in or out doesn’t change that.  Or make it less glaring. 

all that would change is the Rhule defenders would be high stepping in every thread.

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.

Pretty much this...

You can throw out all the hypotheticals you want. They change nothing.

That's the hard part about being a football coach. Results based business. W or L determines if you made the right decision. What's right this week might be wrong the next. You're only measured by Ws and Ls.

Pimp, as I shared in this thread. 2 of the 3 plays we called in the Redzone were passing plays. The first one was a bobbled snap that would have had both Shi and CMC in isolation situations. The second play was a run play. The third play was a RPO with DJ (tripled team) as the first option and handoff to CMC second option. We didn’t just roll over.

      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.
