When the Browns defense needed stops in the second half today against Green Bay, they got the stops. Nick Chubb shredded the Packers defense for 126 yards on the ground on just 17 carries with 58 yards though the air as well. Baker Mayfield completed passes to 9 different receivers for over 220 yards. All of that and the Browns still lost to Green Bay today by a score of 24-22. Why?
Allow me to give the fans of Kee On Sports and the Cleveland Browns a few reasons.
The Cleveland Browns “star” quarterback Baker Mayfield threw four interceptions.
Baker Mayfield has led 0 game winning drives this season.
The Cleveland Browns defense couldn’t stop anyone in the first half and created zero turnovers.
The Cleveland Browns were at midfield with over a minute left, possessed all three timeouts and started to throw the ball with a quarterback who was shaky at best.
Fans can blame covid, they can blame Baker Mayfields shoulder being dinged up. They can blame playing on a holiday, on the road on a very short week. They can blame anything and anyone they want, but after today’s loss, the problem is clear.
Baker Mayfield took sacks to take the Browns out of scoring drives. Baker Mayfield threw interceptions to end Cleveland Browns scoring drives. Instead of taking Terry Bradshaw’s advice on the post-game show about either rolling out or taking deeper drops so he can improve and actually see down the field, he will spend the week complaining about the media and having his wife stick up for him on social media.
Kyler Murray plays tonight for the Arizona Cardinals, a fellow “short” NFL Number 1 overall draft pick who knows how to use his size to his advantage and shred defense after defense. Also, I’m pretty sure guys like Dree Brews and Eli Manning weren’t exactly skyscrapers either, but they have 3 combined Super Bowl rings over Tom Brady and Peyton Manning combined.
If Baker Mayfield cannot figure it out, he needs to go. You have the defensive star in Myles Garrett, you have the running back in Chubb and you have the right head coach in Kevin Stefanski. Call Houston, offer the Texans a fifth round pick for Watson, and let’s go!
Nailed it
It started out with mayfield being a question mark this year, injuries provided the excuse… now it’s clearer than ever
Okay….but Coachs idea of throwing with 50.sevonds left & 3 time outs….throwing by a QB who.had just thrown 3 interceptions had me wild
They could of won that game running Chubb….pitiful
.

Baker played like garbage, true. Playcalling lost us the game just as much. No reason to pass the ball at ALL with 3 timeouts left and with Chubb averaging over 7 yards a touch.
Need to talk a hard look at the play calling time for another change
Well said.
You can blame the Officiating on 2 of those int..there should of been a flag on both the passes to peoples Jones that was intersepted and never was…
Sure Baker threw 3 interceptions early but does that mean the defense has to give up 3 touchdown passes
Playing on lambo field with one of the best teams in the NFL and against one of the greatest QB’s to ever play the game, I did not not give the Browns the odds. That was a real disappointment the Browns sucked
I agree. Baker needs to take a cut in pay if he wishes to stay here or go.
100%
Play calling has been an issue all year! Christmas Day game nothing changed! Run the damn ball! We have one of the best running games in the league!
Baker, yes, but its Stefanskis’ offense, can’t only throw 30 yard passes, offense is way to predictable, and our coaching has lost more games this year then Baker
It’s time we find another Bernie kozar or Brian super. Baker can’t do the job.
Green Bay has had 2 STAR QB -Farve 1992 to 2007 Rogers from then to now..as irritating Bakers play is (whole team) 1 more year to be sure… play calling is terrible..chub needed to run the ball last possession.. as always great article Vince..
Awwwwwwwww bunch of damn cry babies, get over it. Always the same thing every year, excuses excuses. You freaking suck!!!!!!!! Black and yellow 4 life wooooooooooi!!!!!!!!!!
What makes Stefanski the right guy…. What??? A defensive back calling plays
