Offensive Struggles. That's the title.

The offense looks unpracticed, can't get any chemistry, is very streaky, kills drives with drops and penalties, can't get players involved, the play calling is predictable and streaky (3 runs, 3 passes, etc.) 

Mayfield, who I watched during his entire time in Cleveland, is playing worse/less comfortably in this offense than even in CLE during his injury year last year (2021). 

The Offensive like "looked" bad again today, but was it? I'd have to watch a replay today. 

Is this bad scheme? Poor execution? Is Mayfield in his head? Not enough time to develop together?

Personally, I think this is what happens when you bring in a new QB two months too late, draw out a QB competition, preventing QB/WR chemistry and don't give the offensive line time to gel. Also, when you don't mix pass/run in a drive. 

There seems to be no trust on the offensive side of the ball, between QB and line, and no chemistry between QB + receivers. 

On the upside, the run defense looked much better.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
