Start off 0-2 with back to back road games against bills and Texans, and we could find ourselves in a situation too difficult to recover from. 1-3 we can still go on a run but 0-4 and we're in a world of trouble. Browns is the most winnable of next three.

This game is important, but we should've beaten them last year with our MASH unit of a team on the field. Hopefully Neilsen can stop the Mighty Njoku from destroying our secondary again. We knew the first 5 were the tough part going in, it's a shame they let that one get away yesterday, but half the League have losses today...that's the nature of the NFL. I need to see more from the pass rush next week, Tua just didn't get hit enough yesterday and that let's their offense work. Watson looked terrible yesterday, I think they can get to him and once he's rattled he'll fold.

Once again the play calling, outside the 4th down attempt that was a headscratcher, was just fine, the players didn't execute. The run game that we criticized so heavily last year was very effective and would've been stellar if ETN didn't lose the TD. The pass game was drawn up fine and moved the ball effectively except when the players dropped crucial passes to kill the drives. No one whines about Neilsen when Josh Hines-Allen didn't get a sack and only had 2 assists yesterday, but on the offensive side everyone wants to blame the guys who aren't actually on the field. It's just Maddening sometimes.

The play calling wasnt fine at the end of the game, they should have continued to mix it up like they did in the first half instead of going run heavy towards the end of the game.  The D held the number 1 offense to 20 points and Josh Allen was going against one of the best LTs in the league, i dont just look at a sack number.  The defense had 2 4th down stops as well  yesterday.  The D played a good game overall yesterday.

Again...how do you know what the play calling was? Even you admitted last night that you can't tell a real check from a fake one. All you know is that the play didn't work, and we all know you can't trust your eyes in this game. That's why the bellyaching is so humorous, you're crying about something and you don't even know if what you're crying about actually happened.
