Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Browns @ Pats

[Foxypats]

with Cleveland getting the ball to start the third quarter, the D will once again have to try and stop them quickly, the run D has been off today.

Offense is a problem because the GM didn't bring in appropriate personnel. OL is a problem, WR is a problem, TE is a problem. All are weak positions on the team.
We might lose this game because of those weaknesses. I said might not will so don't throw glass at me.

The GM Brought in Froholdt and Cajuste to add to semi-deep O-line. The Problem is that Cajuste has been slow returning from injury. Andrews and Froholdt went down before the season even started. Then they lost Wynn. And Mason is hobbled by an ankle injury..

That's half a team's normal compliment of O-linemen injured. Just HOW is a GM supposed to prepare for that? Show me another team that has those sorts of injuries and the team still plays well, nevermind wins..

Let's see. At TE. They brought in LaCosse, ASJ, and Watson. ASJ asked to be released. Watson got suspended because he was dumb enough to take a random drug test while retired. LaCosse got hurt. They also brought in Kendricks and Saubert. Kendricks got himeself suspended. Saubert couldn't cut it.

WR isn't a problem. If anything, it's the one position where the depth stepped up when called upon.

To sit here with hindsight and bemoan the "GM" not bringing in the right players is laughable. Especially when you consider that one of the WRONG players cost the team over $5M against the cap.

You can tell Brady does not trust his OL. He has let a few balls slip himself. Overall bad day at the office. But barring catastrophic mistakes, no reason they should lose this game.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

They need a lot. TE, WR and O line. Biggest need in my opinion is WR or TE, preferably one that demands double coverage. That is what Brown did. Double him, double Edelman..everyone can feast. Instead it is only one being doubled. That changed the offense.

We do not need a WR.

OL and TE, yes.

 

[fnordcircle]

Wynn looked amazing his 1 game he's played for us. At this point - so close to his return - I'm not on board with 'we have to bring in another OL' panic just yet until we get him back in. Karras is what he is and Mason is struggling but ya gotta wonder what having Wynn/Thuney on the left will do to help the other 3 guys on the OL.

“The champ is here” is so freaking irritating

It’s slowly become catchy

I guess you missed 2001-2004... Go rent the 3 Games to Glory 1-3..

Remember, they are coming off of a bye week as well. They've had time to plan against our shell o-line. We have what, 3 backups in today?

Next week or so we should be better with Wynn and Harry returning, hopefully but man this line is in really bad shape.

 

[RobertWeathers]

People, everyone knows what needs to happen to fix this.

I'm not gonna say it, but everyone knows, and it's in the back of your mind, screaming to come out.

Fix it. Make it happen.

Aaron Dobson would need to resign from Taco Bell then....

 

[stcjones]

Trade for some o-lineman?

They better....Wynn healthy is a huge difference maker....Mason is slightly above average....rest that are injured are not making big difference....OL on whole is awful..can’t win a SB or get to that point with this garbage OL

 

[Betterthanmost]

Free AB!
AB is the only player that can fix Brady, he is jittery and does not trust anybody other than Jules and White.

 

[Wax Frog]

“The champ is here” is so freaking irritating

It definitely makes the c ocktail stick seem endlessly whimsical by comparison.

 

[venecol]

Agreed, we need a real tight end.

Haven't even noticed Watson.

 

[Foxypats]

O-Line is the biggest weakness IMO, fix that and the run game will vastly improve which will allow for some play action....Scar can only work his magic so much, this group is obviously not up to the task .

 

[aluminum seats]

Serious question: who do you cut to make room? The 53rd spot is for Harry.

We’re going with 52 today, so it shouldn’t be a problem

 

[luuked]

I get its the GDT and its full of overreacting bozos but we are playing with a total makeshift OL against a good front in the streaming rain.

It is one of those games you want to get out of with a win and not care about mich else. None of what happens today will be indicative or relevant for anything that will happen in January.

Aaron Dobson would need to resign from Taco Bell then....

He gets free Baja Blast. Not happening.

Thoughts?

An ugly first half in general. A lot of thing both teams could clean up both overall the defense of the Pats has played well. They have some time to readjust here. So far the pass game for the Browns has done very little/nothing while they have been run on. I don't know if they want to change much. Maybe they are happy to live with getting run on a little if it means they can't pass well?

As far as the offense it has not been good. Some nice plays but they haven't closed out a long drive. The OL is having issues as we thought they would.

On the whole I'm encouraged. I think our offense will have a nice drive or two in the second half. I don't think this Browns D will hold them down for 60 minutes no matter what the weather is and what their problems are.

If the defenses keeps up what they are doing overall it's hard to see the Browns keeping up. At this point I see cleaner 2nd half by both teams but similar results on the score board.

I think something like 31-13 is likely. The Pats O gets it going a little after adjustments and just cause they are due to get it going and the D continues to make things hard even if a few things work for the Browns. Also, more turnovers incoming for them.
