Wow we really s**t the bed there’s didn’t we. After so much hype that let down was monumental. I’ve felt a lot of pain being a freo fan too but that pain was up their with one of the worst. That was on Freddy for me for not having the team better prepared than that

We will smash the Jets on the rebound. We played well last week until 3/4 time when Mayfield threw that pick. We will turn it around!

Not a great offensive performance, but a win is a win. Looks like Baker and Freddie are still finding their groove, some of the play calling and desperation for big plays has been a bit off in the first two weeks.

Cleaned up a lot of the penalties though, and the D was good.

Hate to say it but cowherd was right when saying mayfield should’ve been getting better in the offseason rather than building his brand in the media, Lamar Jackson on the other hand has put on 10kgs and has improved his throwing. This is a do or die game against Baltimore if we lose and we’ll be chasing tail All year.

It's easy to improve your throwing when you're starting at the bottom.

Cowherd is an idiot. Baker being in the media means nothing, you really think he wouldn't have put any effort into all his training? He's flashed just as much as last year, the only difference is the play calling. And that's why Lamar has been successful this year too, excellent play calling and an offense perfectly built for him.

Freddie is calling plays based on having a good offensive line, sending the receivers deep down field. Except we don't have a good offensive line. Instead of trying to get deep plays to OBJ and Landry, he needs to be calling plays simply to get the ball into their hands and let them work after the catch - like the 90 yard TD. Baker was at his best last year when he only had one or two reads and got the ball out quick. Freddie has seemingly moved away from that over the first 3 weeks.

Baker just has to take what's given to him more often, even if it means a check down. And not escape from the pocket too soon looking to extend a play. Trust the horrible right side of the offensive line to get him an extra half a second to get the ball out. Hopefully getting Higgins back will give him that outlet receiver.

Cowherd might be an idiot but everything he said has been on point unfortunately. We never should’ve traded zietler for Vernon and getting in Demetrious Harris for Darren fells is just another couple of boneheaded moves from dorcy

I'd do the Zeitler/Vernon trade again, it's certainly helped Myles Garrett because he's not getting 100% of the attention now. And the biggest problem on our offensive line is RT, once we get that position solidified someone like Teller or McCray should be able to hold down the guard spot. RG is about the third highest priority on the line.

And if moving on from Darren Fells is one of the worst things Dorsey has done, then it shows what an amazing job he has done. Fells is a 33 year old journeyman of a TE who had a worse year than Harris in 2018 in every stat.

Wow what an incredible win as underdogs felt like freo knocking off the eagles. Makes me think though are we better of without ward with his inability to tackle.

This is one of those games that you just forget about. Outplayed in every aspect. There’s really very little to take away.

All it shows is we’re still an offensive line away from competing. Can’t win against even an average defensive line with our tackles.

And Freddie needs to call plays for the offensive line he has. Run, tempo and short throws. Having an empty backfield and looking for deep throws won’t work. We need at least one back and one tight end on the field at all times.

But on the positive side, the Scottish Hammer has to be in the MVP mix. At least we got our best player involved a lot.

To play like we did In Baltimore only to lay an absolute egg on mnf is embarrassing. Chub was ok as was Scottish hammer.

Browns757 from 24/7 sports hit it on the head.
Freddie is completely in over his head as head coach right now. That's undeniable. Perhaps he can improve. However, I'm of the belief that it's obvious early on if your new head coach has it or not. I don't believe he does.

Dorsey is not without blame. The OL is unacceptable and we did NOTHING to improve it. The Odell Beckham trade looks like a total bust. Vernon has been as nonexistant as Ogbah and Beckham is an afterthought. We went for the flash and it's killed us.

I don't know what the fix is. The problem is systemic. Thankfully our schedule becomes a cakewalk after New England because right now we aren't even in the same ballpark as contending clubs.
