To be fair I get it. If I was one who showed up right away when my team won but stayed away when they don't the questions would be fair.

But not sure I've ever given that impression to anyone.

You haven't.

I'm the same way. I rarely post during USC games or Lakers games. I find it to be too distracting and I miss chunks of the game and keep having to rewind it to see what I missed. lol

Don’t do that to yourself.

Staring at a blank TV screen would be more entertaining.

Almost felt that way about the Browns game.

nahhh, well not to me anyways...

I will say this, the 49ers are good.

Nobody mentioning them with the top NFC teams. They sure look like a playoff team to me.

Browns have their issues, but they impressed me a lot. Obviously the D and running game exceptional. Very fast team.

 

[dtgold88]

only 1 half, but i'm thinking the term "steamrolled" is applicable this time...at least so far...

no doubt

I'm a Bosa fan as an OSU alum but not sure what to think about that. A small part of me did like it, but think it would have meant more had it come sooner after Baker planted the flag. Been at least 2 years by now (maybe 3?). Then there's the idea Bosa quit on OSU so how much could he care, really?

he did the gesture, so i'm fairly certain he cared...

 

[dtgold88]

Baker posted -2 fantasy points tonight.

Crazy.

He was pretty bad. wish I could say it was only on him, though. Receivers and line did him no favors and run D was beyond bad.

 

[dtgold88]

Just when Cleveland gets a good team they get dominated by a Bay Area team. This is giving me deja Vu.

Usually try to stay away from the profanity but this one is deserved....fuck you.

 

[dtgold88]

Very easy to dislike. Like sherm said, this is college shit. Not the first time i heard someone criticize baker for acting like he still in college. Quite a few people did the same when he criticized Hue for finding another job after being fired

wont get any disagreement from me. Also thought him ripping Hue for going to work was absurd (along with some other antics).

Needs to not care so much what others think..but we are who we are I guess.

 

[dtgold88]

Baker isn't a top 15 qb. I'm sure obj hates him. Baker can't even get him the ball

Doubt it....OBJ had 2-3 drops.

 

[dtgold88]

His instinct is to get out of the pocket and make a play.
Problem for him is this is the NFL and he's too slow.

Other problem is he actually stayed in the pocket and got sacked.

 

[dtgold88]

I get it...but if you care that much why quit? Would think he'd care more about his team than a random gesture more than 2 years ago.

Doubt it....OBJ had 2-3 drops.

But his targets are down. I'm sorry but OBJ need 10 targets at least in a game. A total of 13 targets the last 2 games.

I feel like a OBJ sideline blow up is coming real soon if they don't start winning consistently

yeah, i see your point. just saying that Mayfield doing it first CLEARLY was in his mind all this time...

 

[dtgold88]

And Baker has the deepest talent on his roster in terms of skill positions. He's just not good.

Hard to set a rookie record for TDs on a team coming off an 0-16 team and just not be good. Thinking maybe overreacting to the bad is as absurd as it is to the good?

Have you not noticed many QBs this year are playing well against bad defenses and struggling against the good ones. He's been no different.

 

[Black Adam]

Other problem is he actually stayed in the pocket and got sacked.

on that note the 9ers knew Mayfield was rattled, so almost ANY pressure was throwing him off...

he started showing signs of "happy feet" after a while...

 

[dtgold88]

the fact that his coach pulled him from the game with a few minutes left kinda tells the story...

course i'm sure SOME folks around here will spin it and say they just didn't wanna see him get injured...

spin it? I'd have pulled him sooner for that reason. Can't believe the guy let OBJ return a punt down 28-3. Absurd.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Other problem is he actually stayed in the pocket and got sacked.

Why waste the energy of getting chased down?

 

[dtgold88]

After tonight's game? Even money, home team likely favored between LA and SF.

As far as your Browns' take?

That one was ugly no doubt. But I'll take my own advice and not overreact to the bad either.

Players have loooong memories.
