Week 4 2018 | Browns @ Raiders

[KilgoreTrout]

Haley's play calling in the third is why we lost the game, not the refs

It’s not an either/or.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Losing with a talented roster is going to be his downfall.

I hope you are right, but I still have my doubts. I mean, it’s HARD to go 2-33-1. With the worst roster in the league. That’s a special kind of incompetent. And I don’t think he’s even on the hot-seat. I mean, what could he do to get fired? Go 1-34-1? That’s another 2.5 years of losing.

 

[Phil Mixtape]

Still numb to the losing, but now kind of expecting wins here and there with the players we have. Strange spot to be in, all things considered . . .

 

[CBBI]

I just can't rip Haley's performance too hard.

The Browns scored 42 points and rolled up 487 yards with nine catchable balls hitting the ground. Saying "oh he made two bad play calls on this one specific drive" feels like massive nitpicking.

Say what you want about the coaching. If the refs don’t change the 1st down call, we leave on a 2 game winning streak, going back home to play to the Ravens. While Oakland has been bad this year, we still had to travel cross country and play a team what was hungry for there first win. If we were 2-1-1 right now, would we really be calling for everyone’s head?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I slept on it. And I'm still irate.

Good. Hopefully the team is too.

Take it out on those Ratbirds.

 

[DG's wallet]

After sleeping on it the coaching call on offense I'm most mad about honestly, is the jet sweep to Callaway on the hafl yardline. I got it we just tried Hyde and got nothing but we have the ability to use him in short yardage situations and holy hell... Let him do what he gets paid to do! The time to get cute is not on the half yardline on third down. That lead to a field goal instead of six and not ok in my book.

I get the argument of Baker's turnovers but if you count the ball that hit callway in the hands and was subsequently picked... You're kidding yourself. He has elite speed but that turnover and subsequent touchdown is 100% his falt. The rule is ball hits the receivers hands... It is 100% his fault no matter how or where the pass was thrown... At least that's how I was brought up in football.

I'm torn because I'm so angry at the loss and there is enough blame for everyone... The defense who couldnt stop a shell of himself Nelson... Or past his prime Lynch. Special teams, pass drops and turnovers. At the same time I firmly believe we still should have won if we got even one of the notched calls

At the same time though I still love the fact that every gsmr I feel like we are competitive. I shvent been able to say that in years. Even in close games I've always felt we had to have some sort of trick play or magic happen to be in it. Now at least I feel like we are in it from a skill and competition perspective

 

[Coyote850]

I will be pissed for awhile about this game. There was simply not enough conclussive evidence to overturn the 1st down spot. That is the kinda call that ruins a season for the team and the fanbase. Imagine if we miss the playoffs by a game.....

 

[CBBI]

Imagine if we miss the playoffs by a game.....

You don’t have to worry about this.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

You don’t have to worry about this.

It’s like the NBA Finals this year; you never know how things go later on, if you don’t get ass-fucked by the refs. The ass-fucking affects you going forward. At 2-1-1, the team plays with less pressure, more confidence.
