  1. G Bush is an absolute moron. To put this on Gabriel is ridiculous. Play calling was predictable. WRs getting zero separation. Kicker missing field goals.
    He acts like he knows what needs done at QB when he was ALL IN on Watson. Sorry, G, your opinion is worthless.

  2. Listen here , I’ve commented here before because I follow all AFC north teams to keep up with the division. Browns won’t be great until they change the culture! All great teams talk about building a winning culture before contending for superbowls but I feel browns always skip that part and just draft and sign high profile players thinking it’s about to change the losing culture! I never see any of their leaders talk about winning like it’s a MUST . Myles is a lonely leader! He needs help inspiring that organization to be great! That’s why you need a Sheduer at QB(even though I’m not convinced he’s the answer yet either for yall) but he will inspire people to win and be great! This is why you need more people like that on both sides of the ball! Once that happens, I believe Browns will shock the league and start a dynasty.

    but at the end of the day, It’s your HC and your owner that encourages the losing culture. Imagine if yall had a HC that was actually MAD about losing every week . Tomlin gets mad. Sirriani gets mad! Andy gets mad! Campbell gets mad! All coaches who love to WIN hate to lose . Others are just content with winning or losing .

  3. This offense is sickening. This WR room is absolutely horrible. Ive been saying it the last 3 season. WE NEED 2 WR THAT ARE 6'2+, FAST, and CAN CATCH THE DAMN BALL.
