Sure the percentages say you punt, but maybe not if your defense is a sieve, and your special teams suck. No guts no glory. Give the ball to Hyde, or qb sneak. If you can't make a foot, you don't deserve to win anyway. I'm with Jiggins on this one, we were ready to open the victory port, and I told Bob to hold off. Just had the feeling we weren't stopping the Raiders on that drive. I agree with that, and maybe it was a TERRIBLE call, and the fumble to. But to me there is a HUGE difference in having terrible calls and actually thinking the game was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost the game because Hue allowed the Raiders to take control of the game at the end. The refs gave us 4th and inches. All we had to do was QB sneak for a couple of inches. What are the odds for 4th and inches QB sneaks? Gotta be over 90%. What were the odds that we were gonna stop the Raiders after punt? When we lost the cornerback we couldn't stop them. And what are you telling your offensive line by foregoing the QB sneak to win the game? Answer: I don't have faith in your ability to gain 6 inches. Even if he was afraid of Baker doing the sneak....put in Tyrod and tell him to smash that concussed head of his over the 1st down stripe. And today, Hue comes out with WE have to learn to finish games. We have to take it out of the officials hands. We have to take control. We have to put the final nail in the coffin.

Just had the feeling we weren't stopping the Raiders on that drive. They were discussing the odds of converting on a 4th & inches on the radio several times today. Dustin Fox, had a compilation of stats from the last 15 years on 4th & 1 and the success rate was 82% (QB sneak). Fourth and inches carried nearly 95% success rate on a QB sneak.

The truly bad call is the overturn of the first down that basically cost us the game. However, the defense still had an 8 point lead, less than 2 minutes and let them cruise down for the TD and the 2 point. That quick whistle cost us the ball. I know where you coming from though. It's all coaching. You either play to win or you play to not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all part of fandom I suppose. I even recall someone say it doesnt matter you aren't going to convince me it wasnt completely fixed. I have even seen the talk of the Vegas line. Of course the fact that a majority of lines are close like that has no bearing on it being fixed. I guess it is just easier to think a game was fixed, that the entire league has something against the Browns (even though they were the worst team last year, and makes absolutely no sense) than to just say that the team made too many mistakes. Complaining about the fumble I see. Complaining about the spot and subsequent overturn, I get it. But to take it further to every penalty and then cheating, WAY TOO FAR IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you give them an even shorter field. You have the LEAD, you rely on your defense to stop them with a long field and then a 2 pt conversation. It didn't work out. And you just got the call that people are talking about proof of a fix, and now you expect the officials to get an exact spot on a sneak with 22 people all in the same area. Yea, make total sense. If the Browns go for it there and dont get it, even more people are calling for his job because he didnt punt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI- Tyrod was inactive for the game yesterday, Stanton was the backup. To the original post, I do think the Browns have been given a raw deal many many times. Most notably, when they put us in the same division as the ratbirds when we got our team back. We all watch a lot of football, and I don't see these stupid-butt rulings happen to any other team. It's truly strange when you think about it....Dwayne Rudd's helmet, Bottlegate, getting called for defensive PI on a Hail Mary in Detroit, yesterday's strip sack and then the erroneous measurement...that's just a few I recall. I know there's more. Only positive I have is this team can definitely hang with most any team now. They're not too far away. They can't, and didn't fix everything in one off-season, but damn, the glass is half full now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I just have this to say though. Hue Jackson has no cajones. When they didn't get the spot you get back out there and get the fu¢king 1st down. No, punting was not the right call, clearly. You get the 1st.

I'm the consummate Cleveland fan, wait till next season. This is what I've said all year. Right now, we're losers. Everyone knew we were losing that game. The feeling was definitely there. So if we feel it, the players feel it. Same thing with New Orleans. I was there, I felt it. The players felt it. I know our former kicker certainly felt it. That same feeling was in the air against Oakland. It's funny, when Baker came in against the Jets, it felt like we'd win. Even when down 17-14. It felt like we'd pull it out. I don't expect to have that feeling again. Only chance we have is against Tampa Bay. Every other game is likely a loss unless we get every possible break that exists. On the plus side, I think Baker will be very good. He's just going to have some atrocious growing pains, which are inevitable. Unfortunately, we aren't good enough to overcome them for victories. Oh, and it doesn't help that David "The Chief Queef" Njoku can't catch, and neither can anyone else. That hurts. We aren't there yet, I think we all knew that going in. We don't know how to win, which is the way it's been for years. Even last year, the worst season ever, we had what...3 games we should have won? Same with the year before. When the game comes down to making a play, we refuse to be the team making it. Could that change? Sure. But not this year. The tie and two losses have crushed whatever small amount of confidence we had. Landry looked defeated. Garrett looked defeated. They're starting to understand what it means to be a Cleveland Brown. Well, a Cleveland Brown this year anyway, because as we ALL know.... There's always next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
