Week 3 Game Thread

[Harry Hooper]

Challenge that kick! Can’t.

Pretty sure that was good. It was through the uprights before that sharp dart to the right.

 

[Brand Name]

I'd be curious to know if that was the most ever yards to gain on a 4th down play in which run was called. Ridiculous.

Since 1994, when such down tracking data is available, the record for a 4th down requirement is 31 yards when opting to rush, in this game, 26s to go in the 4th: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201701080pit.htm

Are these teams good? Honestly can't say for sure.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Gurley gets top of the market money and you can’t even use him to ice a road W.

Can't? It's a choice. Whichever back is in to start the drive is in there for the entirety of the drive. McVay is a bozo.

LA might be. Cleveland sure as hell isnt.

Good pull. Any way to amend that to include games that are within 1 score? Down 3 scores with <1 minute might as well just be a kneel down.

Didn't Ray Rice have a crazy 4th and 26 (?) run for a 1st down several years ago,

It was a short pass.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Baker Mayfield is so overrated

Reminds me of the classic Soviet hockey teams changing the lines every 50 (?) seconds regardless of the game situation.

 

[shawnrbu]

Baker was an MVP candidate preseason.

 

[E5 Yaz]

browns routes are so long that o-line can't keep pressure off

 

[BigSoxFan]

Why did Cleveland run so many deep routes on 3rd and 10?

 

[lars10]

I'm not sure what Baker is looking for but he holds the ball for about 10 seconds too long on every play.

With that replay it seems as though every receiver was more or less on a long go route without looking for the ball at all.

The tight end I believe was wide open across the middle, but Baker refused to throw it.

 

[Cotillion]

What was the point of two go routes and OBJ running double move long route.... the o-line can't hold up that long.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Gurley really does look cooked

 

[Harry Hooper]

Gurley running in sand.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Even the Cleveland Stadium, whatever it’s called, Otto Graham statue looks goofy.

 

[BigSoxFan]

A little better there

 

[bigq]

That INT makes things interesting.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Goff is awful.

 

[E5 Yaz]

if his own guy doesn't tackle him it could have been 6

 

[Van Everyman]

Yep

 

[shawnrbu]

Even the Cleveland Stadium, whatever it’s called, Otto Graham statue looks goofy.

Otto wasn’t exactly Clark Gable.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Get out of the way, Schobert!

(But nice play)

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Brows may have needed a pick 6 to tie thsi one, but the interceptor ran into his on guy.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Otto wasn’t exactly Clark Gable.

I meant the whole body treatment. His feet looked several feet apart for one thing .

 

[shawnrbu]

Browns will go for 2 if they score.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Hold the ball longer, Bledsoe

 

[bigq]

I don't really like either of these teams and I'm hoping for a tie.

 

[shawnrbu]

Refball.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Does Baker think he gets 7 Mississippi?

 

[nattysez]

The Patriots are going to eat Baker alive. I feel bad for him already.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Mayfield jumpy in the pocket now.

 

[Marciano490]

Baker man, throw me a pass as fast as you can.

 

[shawnrbu]

No commercial for the 2 minute warning. Weird.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Chis is right about Baker tearing out of the pocket.

 

[BigSoxFan]

OBJ / Mayfield blow up has to be coming soon

 

[shawnrbu]

Heady drop by Chubb.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Second and long. Checkdown!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That was a great playcall and throw. No sarcasm.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I’m very intrigued to see how the Browns screw this up.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Landry! Where is he?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

that ticky tack illegal contact penalty looms pretty large.

 

[BigSoxFan]

How does Baker screw this up?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

McVay and Kitchens are so similar looking that they really might have been separated at birth.

 

[Rook05]

Gofful

 

[Marciano490]

Empty backfield. They don’t trust Chubb to bang it in?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Love the painting in the end zone.
