  1. What G Bush is not accepting is that it is Watson who is holding the team back. If they never traded for him they’d have first round picks, they’d have cap space. So yes, Watson is literally holding this team back.

  2. The Browns almost put a beat down on Miami. DTR was tremendous on that field goal scoring drive.
    The Browns need to give DTR a five yr. extension. Not only is he an exceptional qb, but he is also a true leader of men
    Give him $240 million so that he will feel wanted.

  3. This shows how great Jameis is and was this season for the Browns. Look at Baker for example, he was toast in Carolina and released, resuscitated with McVay, revived with Canales, and thriving with Cohen (McVay tree). Please get the proper support system/coaching staff for Winston. Then focus on rebuilding the o-line and d-line.

  4. Im glad they suck Kevin stefanski the one who needs to be fired and listen to these nuts gbush and the crew who scared to say anything about the trash ass coach no offensive line and not trying to make a franchise qb successful trying to fit him in with stefanski bs offense

  5. refused to watch the game knowing DTR was back out there… trash decisions trash results. they packed it in 2 weeks ago… they are blatantly tanking –> fine the team and the front office.

  6. Baker Mayfield threw for 359 and 5 TD’s today…..’nuff said. The Browns front office can’t pick drafts, trades, or what color matches with their white shirts. For about the 10th time, who walked into Haslam’s office with the DW contract and said, “this is a deal we need to make”. Whoever that is should be out right now. My guess is that everyone from Stefanski to Haslam agreed on it and gave it the thumbs up and that’s precisely why it’s being swept under the rug, no accountability. DTR is a mess.

  7. Imagine taking your family of 4 to a Browns game against Miami and paying for decent seats, food, drinks, parking = $750 in order to watch this dumpster fire Browns team and loser DTR complete 50% of his passes, 1 fumble, 1 interception and 3 grounding penalties. LMAO!!!!!!!!

  8. Well now we have our answer don't we about DTR. Its better at least than "not knowing". And we didn't lose a draft slot. Onward we move.

  9. We arent a quarterback away…but I wouldnt tear it all apart just yet. Lets walk it back from the cliff a little. The defense is still promising. Rework the offense. The qb, the o-line, the running backs.

  10. I would focus on the offense line and running back before thinking quarterback. I would get everything setup for a quarterback . You get a quarterback and put him this garbage he'll fell

  11. The factt that Kevin, Barey and all the coaches who said DTRA Had a great camp shows you. They run a lame, weak and a non NFL level and they think they the shit lol but are woeful.

    These are Ivy league geeks running a pro football team. But who cant play worrhh a damn themselves and do not know .

    They have no clue on whats really goood at peo level practices, training vamp or preseason. Hands on training , motivation and have no idea of what and how good teams coaches and GMs rate talent and players.

    Kevin is not good with x's and i's. Hes tricked all yawl. Into believing he knows how to deeply and truly run a team and know whats really good and whatw average or bad. Too many guys on this team should not be on a NFL roster

  12. Earl, what is “agreeance?” Before everyone attacks me for being a grammar nerd, you cannot tell me that the words people use are irrelevant. It’s a choice. You can be 100% correct (as Earl is here), but the credibility takes a tiny hit.

  13. Kevin is way over his head in actuality. When chubb got hurt and valahan left to coach for his son. Kevin lost his source of what made him look legit..

    And the same with the ownerr… They in the NFL but do not belong in the position according to what it takes to succeeed. So Jimmy to Barry to Kevin S.

    I hope they dont draft atraavis unless he dumps his girl who I believe gona break his heart and have Travis Hunter all F'd up so bad he wont be a good player until je recovers from her which may take years

  14. I mean the Brriwns braintrust has a damn ELF on the 50 yd line of their field LOL . A Elf is weak and a clown and wussy image. A real owner , GM would not stand for such a effeminate logo, or mascott on their field or apperal lol

    BUT THE DAMN ELF is fitting of the dumbass goofy people running the team and some of its players

  15. Dorsey is the worst offensive coordinator in the league and DTRs career is all but over. The combination of those two gives you a game where they can only manage 3 points. I honestly don't know how they managed 3 points with those two running the offense

  16. Berry and DePodesta need to go before the next draft. Berry can’t draft talent (even if DTR was a 5th Rd, it was a wasted pick) and have no clue wtf DePodesta does in Cali for this team other than missing the guillotine since 2016 and his “analytics” barely carried him thru baseball and eventually lost his job there; plus stats and 💩 are just part of drafting, gut instinct is part of it and those 2 have 0 of it.

    Upside of todays game, Hopkins actually made a FG 🍾
