I was a defender of his, especially earlier on when the team was really not executing when the football was in their hands or the turnovers kept coming up.

I think, and, again, it's all speculation, but, when we go back to that home win against the clots I think it was, where, we were up, game was out of reach, and, we had Lawrence run that little funky bootleg out and it ultimately got his knee hurt. There was that little odd looking exchange post game between Doug and Press in the tunnel.

Body language wise it didn't look like a comfortable exchange. Then, again, a lot of the nonsense on 3rd and short had been bothering me as a spectator throughout the year. Dempsey made a fair point. We scored 3 points at home. I don't care what defense it is. That's embarrassing.

The Browns managed to score 19 points with P.J Walker as their QB and that's an offense that lost Nick Chubb weeks ago and outside of who, maybe, Amari Cooper? They don't have too many big names out there that really scare you on paper. They just slug it out on defense like the Steelers and Ravens do in that division as well. 

Something had to give. I just hope Doug's ego isn't his swan song here soon like it was with the Eagles. That's my biggest concern now. Can he swallow his pride now and go back to play calling duties or will it be something that continues to crop up out of pride and ego? If it's indeed even the case. That's all speculative there in those tweets.

Why don't you go back to the link you posted earlier where they rate the O-lines by unit and you'll figure out the answer to your question in 3 tries.

You can keep making the excuses all you want. I presented you with plenty of other teams below us on that list. Still moving the needle way more than we do on offense. 

My point was that they didn't have their best QB on the field nor arguably the best RB in the NFL for weeks now with Chubb out. 

There needs to be ownership here. They got it done last year with suspect line play. They were actually worse off at this same point last year. Play calling needs to change, concepts need to change, a better offensive mind with a better sense of the game needs to reinsert himself before we get dragged under the [BLEEP] table by the tacks and tinhorns over these next two weeks.
