Really isn’t anything to do. Not firing the new coach week 3. Just a comedy of errors in Cleveland since 99, actually more of a tragedy of errors.

We know we have work to do. We learned a lot from this game. I need to do a better job coaching. Baker made some nice plays, just needs everyone else to be on the same page. We can't turn the ball over and win against a good team like the Ravens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker looked nothing like the 1st pick overall starting his 3rd season. He looked like an undrafted rookie. What did Big Ben, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Mahomes, etc. look like in their 2nd season, not to mention their 3rd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just came to see if the board was on fire again. We knew our D with the injuries would be suspect against the Ravens' offense, so no surprise there... But the offense looked like last year (no PAP, few runs, OBJ constantly targeted...) and we didn't get drives going. It's the Ravens' D, yes, but we have to show something more. A play that baffles me is when they played a fake punt and 2 people didn't block a single defender, so the Scottish Hammer got hammered to the grass. Not a block, a simple push could have delayed the defender enough to give room for the few yards needed. And Seibert missing is something we DON'T need. We have enough with the D, a "new" suspect offense that even our kicker starts missing. I didn't expect a win by any means, but it was underwhelming. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObJ is an 18 million dollar player who had a gimme catch that he dropped that completely changes the outlook of this game. He deserves way more blame. OBJ is not working out. How some of you keep defending him is outrageous. I don't care about anything but production, and anything that hinders production is then an issue. I don't care what skank he has sh---g on him, what color his hair is, but for SOME reason, he is NOT working out in Da Land. I think it helps lead to the total team underperformance. Did anyone else notice that Baker never seems to stand up in the pocket, and move up when there is pressure? I saw Jackson do it several times, one for a TD. All Baker seems to do is run backwards or to the side and that causes him to be limited in who he can throw to; always ends up with a pop gun throw to someone covered. It's just bad. No better than last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake punt down 7-0? 3rd and 2 drop? Can’t blame the QB for stuff that. Yea the INT sucked but our defense couldn’t stop Baltimore anyways.

Tour2ma Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Surprised by the margin of the loss, but not the loss. Very tough opener... Cinci and WSH? Well... I'm looking for 2-1 or despair will rise. Only concern I had today was Stef's playcalling. He got away from Chubb totting the rock waaaaaaay too early and seemed to never snap to fact that Baker's two best, early throws were on the run out of the pocket. More Chubb... more PAP... and a few boots/rollouts were clearly called for and Stef was stone-deaf to them all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runyon27 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I am going to wait until at least 4 games in to reserve judgement. I don't think anyone should have expected us to win this game. New coaching system, not only did we not get the extra practices one would normally get, but got far fewer and no game situations either. So winning this game was not probably against a good team where they already know the offense and defense. My criticisms of what I did see was we should have run more, should have had a back in the backfield more to help pick pressures. Defensively, we didn't get alot of pressure and I thought the safety play left a lot to be desired. Lots of room for improvement, I would like us to be 2-2 after the first 4 games.

No better than last season. Yeah, I noticed it. I noticed him not being able to complete hardly anything and frequently missing his release valve. He looked very bad, no other way to say it. I certainly don't want him benched, but he's got 1 more half. If he lays an egg, I can promise we'll see Keenum. You have to be able to move the sticks. He was awful today. Remember, just because Keenum might come in, it doesn't mean Baker lost the job. Just means that we're looking for a spark. Can't go 0-2 and 0-2 in division. Stefanski will try everything.

tiamat63 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Would have killed to see a double move from ODB today. Balt played like they had zero fear of the deep ball.

They are not benching Baker the 2nd game into the season. Also a lot of this probably had to do with going against probably the best secondary in the NFL and falling far behind. Bet the tone of the game is different if OBJ catches that ball on 3rd and 2 at the end of the half. If we were able to have a more balanced attack Baker's numbers would have been better. Lets also not forget the whole team is learning yet another system for the 2nd year in a row and does so with less practice then they would normally get. I wouldn't panic after 1 game against a team that 14-2 last year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanski knows Keenum from Minnesota and likes him. I don't WANT this to happen. I think you're right, in that it was a monstrously difficult game playing in a new system. But Keenum knows the system and we can't go down 0-2 in division. I WANT Baker to be the guy, more than anything. I just know what I saw today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same BM as last year, no difference. And for the love of God why can't ANY receivers get any separation? How can they not ever get open?
