Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Yes it is a great start, the Browns have a lot to play for this season. Unfortunately it isn't the playoffs, it's 0-17 and the #1 pick in the 2027 NFL draft for a "franchise QB".

The Cleveland Browns missed out on several franchise-altering quarterbacks over the years by either selecting other players or passing on them in later rounds.

Notable Quarterbacks Passed Over
    • 1999 Draft: The Browns took Tim Couch with the No. 1 overall pick instead of future Pro Football Hall of Famer [13 Pro Bowls] Donovan McNabb, who went No. 2 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
    • 2004 Draft: Holding the No. 6 pick, Cleveland selected tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. while future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 11.
    • 2012 Draft: In the third round of the same draft where they took Brandon Weeden in the first, the Browns could have drafted Russell Wilson, who went to the Seattle Seahawks later that round.
    • 2018 Draft: While the Browns selected Baker Mayfield with the No. 1 overall pick, analyst discussions and hindsight point out they were in position to draft Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson earlier or later in that same loaded quarterback class.

I guess I'm in the minority, but on the whole I thought he did well. Not perfect, but good enough to win. Some unfortunate drops and erratic pass protection hampered him, but he's still taken a step forward from last year with using the legs a bit more.

Weather he built up "Chachet" or not, you saw worse things happen to Ohio State. Don't try to rationalize your way around it.

Also, "Winning the 2024 natty is the worst thing that happened to Ohio State in my lifetime." I get it. You live in Bizzaro world where winning National Championships are bad and losing to Michigan and taking away any chance from winning a National Championship is not so bad. I have to ask you something. Were you rooting against Ohio State against Notre Dame in the National Championship game?

I'm cheering for the Buckeyes. Of course that natty run was amazing. It took a freaking player revolt for it to happen.

What is the offensive identity of this team?

2023 Buckeyes came from behind during a thrilling last minute drive against ND.

It was electric and the buzz around the win was similar to what people are saying about Texas.

The 2023 OSU team turned out to be super uninspired. That was the pinnacle.

2014 OSU team lost to a horrible Va Tech team, and then went on a truly inspired run in its aftermath.

Yes, this win was super disappointing, and concerning. The future slate of games is quite the gauntlet.

Here is the thing, this team has the tools, and so do the coaches. They were blowing Texas out for most of the game.

The tools are there, and it is early in the season. They showed they can win.

Let's hope that this team (including coaches) uses this disappointment as fuel for the rest of the 2026 season. Because again, everything is there, and they already showed they have what it takes. Just need to finish.

Of the other teams you mention, Oregon looked like hot garbage losing to unranked Oklahoma State yesterday and that game is in Columbus. Illinois lost at home to an unranked Duke team and Iowa looks like Iowa. Doesn't mean those games can't be losses, but Indiana and USC are the biggest concerns. The Game is The Game and predicting anything for it is idiotic.

Just have to find a way to beat Indiana. We get a bye before USC at least too,

Not even going to think about blaming the officials in this one. Texas was trying all they could to hand us the game in the 1st half and we couldn't take advantage

The refs didn't make the coaches call a terrible pitch play inside the 5 that killed a drive and led to us settling for a FG

and a shitty slow developing run on 4th down that prevented us from scoring at all.

Get a TD and at least a FG there instead and we win.

I'm not blaming anything on the refs, only pointing out what took place and people on here were asking if anyone knew what Day was pissed about.

Arch is literally known for folding when he gets pressure on him. So you go into a soft 3 man rush prevent type shell? Just makes no sense. You bring heat and make him beat you, if he does hats off to him, but you don't sit back in soft shell and let him just dink and dunk you to death.

And when he doesn't find a receiver open after 8 seconds in the pocket, he scrambles every time for 7-9 yards

Is there a common denominator as to why Ryan Day loses games?
Click to expand...

I think it's mostly mental. This choke job was all a mental lapse all around. You come out of the locker room without a single adjustment just expecting to cruise to victory? That's a mental mistake set in motion by the coaches which all starts with Day.

It's hard to pull out of cruise control once you flip the switch into it. The major issue was they came straight out of the half already in cruise control when they needed another TD to truly put the game away and once Texas finally got some life after that 1st 4th down it was too late to be able to turn the play from the first half back on.

The lack of adjustments were staggering. The only real adjustment made was the bad one where the defense went into soft 3 man DL shell most of the 2nd half. A complete failure all around.

Yes the players need to execute but the coaches set the tone here with the "strategy" out of the locker room

The more I think about the blown opportunity last night, Texas had a lot also that went in our favor. Flip the script for a second. The early fumble doesn’t happen. The wide open receiver letting the ball bounce off his chest right into ours. Pretty sure they had a for sure TD dropped in the endzone also. Both teams made mistakes. If either receiver catches those passes, Texas would’ve had the lead anyway. We tend to always look at how we lost a game rather than recognizing that the reason we had that big lead was due to early miscues by Texas. That game could’ve literally went either way. There's a reason it was a one point difference. Having the big lead, in my opinion, is what cost us the game. We had no sense of urgency. When the game stays close for all 4 quarters, we seem to respond immediately when our opponent takes the lead. Last night we went into cruise control too early. Look at how many times we have done the same to other teams. Hell, we’ve broken Penn States hearts in the same fashion more than once with a late comeback. Purdue, Wisconsin, etc… Big momentum shifts happen. Especially in football. They need to regroup, refocus, and get over it quickly. Hopefully by the time we face the Hoosiers we are 5-1 and playing like a well oiled machine.

The luck factor leveled out with those 2 2nd half fumbles that our players who were right there somehow did not recover.

Difference was Texas took full advantage of their luck and we did not
