What a shocking, embarrassing, infuriating football game.
Just a freakish sequence of events.
The Browns brought absolutely everything they had, and the Ravens brought so little.
I don’t even know where to start.
I guess the most directly impactful is the Kyle Hamilton dropped INT?
Could not put it more in the breadbasket.
Any one of them probably tips the scales enough where the ultimate result is different.
This was the most catchable ball that’s ever been balled and he Hamilton just….. ugh.
Rashod Bateman…. come on bro.
Because of course it did.
I really hope we’re learning our lesson here.
Lastly… and most importantly… this defense is an unmitigated disaster.
It’s not news, but they were especially horrendous today.
I don’t care that Marlon was out.
We left way too much up to chance today and paid the price.
Big picture… we’re through 8 weeks now.
We have a pretty clear sense of what this team is capable of.
Like suuuuper basic things.
This team simply doesn’t play clean nor high IQ football.
But what is happening right now clearly isn’t working.
The pass rush is decent but is not exceptional by any margin.
Ball skills seem to be seriously lacking.
Lapses in communication (which ties into point #1) have also been happening far too often.
And just generally speaking, guys are getting way too open way too often.
And they’re not even great receivers.
Jerry Jeudy is talented but by no means is he Davante Adams.
It’s gotta be fixed and things aren’t looking so hot for Zach Orr so far.
This offense is too talented for the rest of the team to just squander what they’re capable of.
I’m still optimistic about this team going up against any other team and winning that day.
We’re going to be running out of time to fix things before we know it.
Disgusting, disgusting loss today.
Be better next time.
Just be fucking better.
