The Browns came up short against the hated Baltimore Ravens today, and ended up doing worse than both I and many of you thought they would. However disappointing though it was, I submit that it’s really not anything worth being terribly surprised or unnerved about:
- Have you ever heard of a player leaving a game because of a migraine? I don’t think I have
- We are a young team, and we play like it a lot
- On balance, continued improvement in the run defense
- Better looking performance by the offensive line
- Kizer making rookie mistakes, because he’s a rookie
- These types of games may be invaluable to his development
- We probably need to temper our expectations about this team - more games like today are likely to happen
- This is because we are on rebuild number 50 since ‘07 and nothing has had time to take hold yet
- As long as we don’t blow up at the end of the year, we’re still on the right track.
Also, I really hate dropped passes and missed tackles, and we had plenty of both today. To listen simply click the player at the top of the page.
