OFFENSE 

Total offense : 28th 

Passing offense : 20th

Rushing offense : 31st

Points per Game : 10th 

DEFENSE 

Total defense : 17th

Passing defense : 2nd 

Rushing defense : 31st 

Points allowed per game : 26th

Turnover deferential : 27th

 

Ugly stuff. The only decent rakings we have are points per game and passing defense, and you could argue those are only high as a result of playing catch up and getting obliterated by the run so the browns didnt have to pass a bunch. 

Was kinda surprised we weren't last in rushing defense apparently that's the Titans. 

OFFENSE PLAYER STATS LEADERS

QB Baker Mayfield : 16/27 passing, 235 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 84.6 passer rating

RB Christian McCaffrey : 10 rush, 33 rush yards, 3.3 YPC, 1 TD

WR Robby Anderson : 5 receptions, 8 targets, 102 receiving yards, 20.4 YPR, 1 TD


DEFENSE

Damien Wilson : 1 sack (he has the teams only sack, the whole team is ranked somewhere near the bottom of the league only having one sack. IIRC Pitt and Buffalo lead the league in sacks with 7 total)

Xavier Woods : 10 tackles, Brian Burns, 8 tackles , Henry Anderson, 2 tackles for loss. 

0 INTS . O forced fumbles.

LOL 

 

Baker had bit of an ugly day with all the fumbles and that bad pick and the overall innaccuracy, but stats wise he looks kinda average if you don't take the fumbles into account (they don't show up on his stats line).

McCaffrey didnt have that many carries but even being said, 3.3 is rather low for him. But if you remember back to his rookie year when he was splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart he got very similar numbers out of similar work volumes of carries so in that sense it may not be too surprising. 

Robbie that was mosltly off that one pass in busted coverage but its encouraging at least.  If you remember his first two seasons he was also off to a big start and he subsequently disappeared last year, so keep an eye out for that.

The passing defense is heavily skewed because the Browns were not exactly starting Mahomes.  Our rushing offense was 31st because of our (curious) choice to not run the football, especially early.  Both of those numbers will probably bounce more toward the middle.

Unfortunately, the rushing defense may not move much.

It's one game, so I am not going to draw many conclusions and certainly not many beyond decisions and performances in one game.  The one to watch, IMO, is turnover differential.  Being 27th right now means next to nothing, other than the fact we didn't force any.  Had the one we did get stood, the entire outcome and how the game unfolded from there may have changed.

There was context to last year's Total Defense ranking too, but people kept ignoring it 😕

Yeah last year Sam constantly turned it over or went 3 and out.  If they have a short field, they can't get as many yards.  Also they spent the last quarter just running the ball to end the game.

They had 8 sacks and we had 0. Ugh, Riddick may just indeed be missed.

Looking for droped passes. I remember 2 for the Browns but wanted to see how that played into the passing game and pass D. Couldn't find it tho.

 

They were officially credited with 4 sacks. Myles Garret lead the team with 2 sacks with 4 other Cleveland defenders recording a 0.5 sack

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
