There are no excuses for the Cleveland Browns to lose to the Adams & Crosby-less Raiders…
The Cleveland Browns have to be better than they’ve been through four weeks.
With Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby out with injuries, there is no reason Deshaun Watson & company shouldn’t have left Vegas with a win.
Instead, Watson got sacked on a final fourth down attempt in the red zone and with the loss, the Browns fall to 1-3 on the season.
Watson played his best game of the season by far, but it wasn’t enough to overcome some other issues on the roster, including more dropped passes and subpar line play on both sides of the ball.
Gardner Minshew did enough against the Browns defense to keep them in check, and now it’s time for a gut check for Kevin Stefanski.
The Browns are 1-3 — how do they respond?
The Cleveland Guardians are playoff bound after clinching the 2-seed in the American League. Jose Ramirez was robbed of a chance at a 40/40 season thanks to Mother Nature.
It’s also media day for the Cleveland Cavaliers & we’ll be live with interview from Kenny Atkinson & Koby Altman among others.

Let's just say what needs sayin': Stefanski is nothing more than an offensive coordinator. Let's keep it real.
G.Bush wearing the USA basketball gear 😭 we’ve given up on football in week 5
Jay saying he'd cut Dawand Jones was the dumbest statement we will all hear this week.
Jimmy Haslam
Andrew Berry
Paul D. Pedesta
THIS is why The Cleveland Browns and Organization are PAINFULLY. .. PATHETIC!!!!
The stench of this team is amazing . Fans are tired of the same lame ass excuses every damn year since 1964
Make me happy and leave town for good and Never come back . Only a damn fool would keep paying for a terrible product . If you want to see a clown , tigers, ring master, you go to the circus .
If you want to see real football games , real players you go a stadium . At some point, you have to have sense enough to say ENOUGH!!!!!
Browns front office is ass!!! Last year was a OL issue—-QB issue. This year it is still OL issue!!! 2 years same problem!!! They got a qualified backup qb. to start this season but did nothing for OL. Bad management!! And do not get me started on the RBS.
I watched Baker play and the Cleveland browns should be embarrassed. I second guessing my allegiance do the Browns and the NFL hail Kaepernick
G Bush, the Browns traded 6 draft picks, including 3 first round draft picks to get Deshaun Watson. And then they paid him $230 million dollars fully guaranteed. Dawand Jones was a 4th round draft pick and Nick Harris was a 5th round draft pick. If you don't understand why Deshaun Watson needs to be held to a higher standard, then you don't deserve the job that you hold!
I wish I was back in Cleveland, so I could walk up to Haslam and tell him how bad he has run this franchise!!!
Deshaun Watson was not the reason that they lost this game, but is that really where the bar is? The Browns traded for Deshaun Watson and gave him all of that money with the expectation that he would elevate the talent around him and that he would be the reason that they win games. Right now Deshaun Watson has a 23 QBR, which is DEAD LAST for starting QBs. Miss me with the excuses!
as long as we're under KS and depodesta we're doomed
Cooper mad about the trade??? The gave him 5 million reasons not to be and put it behind him!!!
We’re getting a Top 5 pick in the draft at least. We might not win 3 more games all year. We won’t be favored in ANY!! We lost to the Raiders without Adams and Crosby!! Lost to the Giants
Stefanski needs to be fired.
It starts with the General Manager and the Coach. The rest of the blame trickles down to the Waterboy. There is no continuity on this team. They need and intrasquad intervention ASAP!
Horrible
Yal don’t know football
Browns and the Raiders will not see success for many years to come. The fans are just as guilty as anyone else for not demanding better quality! GOD Bless
A couple months ago i finally realized why JJ Watt has been so pissed off. That TJ Watt hasn't won Defensive player of the year for 3-4 straight years. He is and has been the best defensive player in the NFL. And I don't think it's particularly close, only because Aaron Donald was hobbled his last couple of years. Myles is great but TJ is on another planet
Terrible commentating yal are too emotional lol
I dont know what dude name is with the ohio hoodie on but….. dont ever use the “browns are brownsing” in a negative way. We’re past that as of 2020. Its cool to be passionate but lets not disrespect the brand and raise the worth of another team. Culture or not. I get the analogy…. But the ravens are old browns and the steelers just got beat by Flacco. They aint played nobody yet. Yes we sucked.. but we gotta realize the whole “save players from getting hurt in pre season” thing DONT WORK!!!!
Its gonna take half the season to iron these kinks out. We waited to late to get started and too many injuries. Yes we coulda won but no excuses. We gotta play better. Cooper gotta wake up Dawand Jones sleep out there and alot of players are missing blocks (WR ON PURPOSE)
We are lacking DISCIPLINE offensive and defensively!!!!
Worst owner and front office in the league.
Team is a dumpster fire…….coaching SUCKS…….offensive line is well OFFENSIVE……and this super powerful Defensive line is a total joke…….no push outside of Garrett who you can tell is having speed issues with his feet issues……LB play outside of JOK is a JOKE…….cannot fill at all……..Cooper has turned into a man that cannot catch a pass in his hands………I cannot even blame Watson for all these issues because actually he hasn't been the problem this year……..something is wrong with this team below the surface that is not being discussed.
Thanks for finally saying that Berry stinks at drafting!
Kareem hunt off the couch went for 5 yards a carry this week for the chiefs
FYI
Players are out of shape and not engaged. Nobody is not letting DeShaun get sacked
The karma the Browns are receiving after signing creep Watson as Creep Berry's idea to turn the team into an abusive NFL franchise that ignore women and gave them no voice. Haslam Has;am, a well known fraudster after being raided at Flying Pilot J by the FBI, blamed his rebate scams on his employees. Does anybody believe Jackazz Jimmy was innocent or just another billionaire getting away with crimes because he's rich. Only a creep owner allows a trade for creep Watson and no city should built any creep a stadium when his company was ripping after truckers knowingly. When does Berry get canned for trading Baker Mayfield for a creep like Watson. What about Berry's blowing 3 years of draft capital and cap space. I bet Houston was delirious after Berry's over for their creep. My response was your kidding right? Flacco not resigned after trading Baker so Berry could again have all black qbs is suspect. We saw the 2nd go around with Andy Berry and Pauley (1/31 the 1st time turn into pathetic trash before fans eyes who pay the Haslams for dawg crap. Berry has the Browns back in last place where he is most comfortable. When are these media members going to call out Berry or are they shy cause they helped run Baker Mayfield out of town!!!!!!!!
Check out Mike Ditka loss to Atlanta
Emerson is 🗑…. look at the texans game. See who got picked on.look who's getting picked on this year because he's been exposed .if you need a play thrown it over Emerson. 90 percent of big plays or meaningful plays that has happen since we drafted him and watch your mind be blown. He's absolutely 💩
Is this the jay show? Enough is enough 🤬
Watson, had a worse running game, Receiving core, offensive line, and defense while with the Texans. And they won games. He is the problem.
This team is historically bad. Stop spending your hard earned money watching these clowns. Nobody on the team really wants to play cuz they know the team is never going anywhere. They should just remove this team from the NFL.
I don't understand why the Browns don't go get any free agent oline help there's plenty of good help out there or at least it can't be worse than what we already have.
