Funny thing is that here we sit #####ing about a few inches or bad ref calls. This time last year we were lamenting on who we were going to take with the 1st overall pick in the draft.
One thing I'll say regarding above, since Mayfield has been in (and I know it's a small sample size) I haven't felt we've ever been out of a game.There were times in the past 3 years I bailed in the 2nd quarter when we were down 7 because I just knew we weren't coming back. We have a QB Cleveland, rejoice!
Love this and I was firmly in the camp of wtf? when they jammed him in the lineup. How does it feel not to be Schleprock Cleveland? 
with another good draft and a little bit of luck, it sure seems possible.
Nothing came together but I'll take it!Stupid @amnesiac stealing my thunder
This is the week we put it all together and pull out the win! Think it's close with the kid driving down, no time left on the clock and Joseph boots a game winner as the clock ticks 0:00.
There was a moment in last weeks game at the end of regulation where the camera panned to the Browns sideline and showed Mayfield running over to Joseph, had a quick conversation and Mayfield ran out on the field. I know he asked him, "where do you need to be?" I just know it! Then of course he launched a deep ball that was intercepted but I still feel deep down that's what took place between the two. It's going to happen this weekend, PFM baby, PFM!
The kid has a rifle, I mean a ####### rifle for an arm. I become more & more impressed every week by his play. This week it looked like the receiving corp was starting to get in sync with him. I think he also had more errant passes this week than the past few and he isn’t shy about going deep although his timing needs work. It will all come with more reps.
Look at Browns, y’all grown now! Two wins & a tie! Lawd have mercy.
Flacco would have been sacked 5+ more times today if they blew the whistle like they did on the Carr play. Man, we should easily be sitting 3-1-1 right now. I can accept the NO loss and Pit tie, but not the Oakland result.
Since they happened so closely together in the third I assumed they noticed something and made an adjustment over halftime.
I call this Taking Out the Landry. Thank you, I'm here all week. Agree with your statement, he needs to reign it in some on the field. Not getting out of bounds at the end of the game when the sideline was right there, terrible mistake for a WR of his caliber. Again, little things.
On point 2 - part of that is on Williams' scheme. And I think another part of that was apparent yesterday due to Collins and Kirksey getting dinged in the 3rd. Both returned, but I didn't think either one moved nearly as well as they did prior. Thankfully the secondary and the line played as great as they did to mask that problem.
But it's nice to complain about officials and play calls instead of what we've been complaining about since 2014.
Might as well trade him then because he's not a spot back. Not convinced Chubb can block and Duke isn't the run it up the middle guy. I don't understand, with all of Haley's "brilliance", how you don't have those guys on the field in a receiver role? Not Chubb so much but they've said for two years they're going to do that with Johnson and he's barely in the lineup. How's about we ditch the WR end a rounds and draw up something for the RB's you have sitting on the bench? Seems like Haley is trying to play chess sometimes when all he needs to do is play checkers.
I don't disagree with you about Hyde, but I think that's also why he's a weird fit on this team. Chubb is clearly more talented, but he's currently flawed. Hyde is limited touch-to-touch, but is better the more he gets it. So how do you maximize the effectiveness of both while also getting Duke more involved?
But I think Chubb needs more touches earlier. If he's running hot then you roll with it then deal with Hyde. If he's not then you go back to Hyde and get him hot by the 4th.
If they think he's going to get Mayfield killed, it's not his time yet and small doses of playing time (with run/pass plays he knows exactly what to do) is exactly what he needs. Sorry, but I'm fine with Hyde at this point, with more Duke mixed in (still a problem like past years). Let Chubb learn, and unlearn, all the things he needs to so he's ready to be THE MAN next year. Hyde likely will be released.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrriKcwvlYCongrats to Ward for being the Rookie of the Week for Week 5!!
That puts the Browns Rookies at 4 of the last 5 ROW winners! (Mayfield, Chubb, and Ward x2)
Great stuff and truly new leaders on this team! Was hoping Mayfield and Ward would've ended in a tie this week for the award, but can't go wrong with either one!
Future is looking bright!
