Refs screwed Browns a yard on a spot on 2nd down and it forced them in a 3rd and 3 when it looked closer to 3rd and 1…..then Detroit bails them out on an iffy call.
I just feel the refs aren’t letting players play football and in the time being aren’t doing a good job of their own officiating tasks. Most every game.
posted by BR1986FBI was really surprised that there have been that few games. Did a little research and found that the Lions won the first 8 games, with the Browns getting their first win in 1964.In fact, the Lions lead the all-time series 19-5, including 4 playoff matchups.
As for this game, I see we are keeping the Lions in it.
Lions began in Portsmouth didn’t they? You know like 90 years ago
Well Swift made it a game again
His heel is bothering him a good bit

This is correct as far as I know.
Did they ever show what #73 fir Detroit did? Detroit ran a first down inside of the 40…..they went to the line and let last 8 seconds run off the clock to end the quarter. Come back from break and they announced a 15 yard personal foul on #73……Lavar Arrington ripped on him for his discipline but I went back to the play and watched it 5x and 73 was engaged in a block and then walked away….camera went away but body language of neither player looked like something was going to arise after 73 walked away.
Unless he went back after walking 10 feet away then I have no clue what that call say, but it destroyed the Lions drive.
Now refs calling stuff on Browns (Teller’s was dumb and unnecessary though)
This game isn’t very good but the refs continue to suck.
Lions don’t go on 4th and 1
Holy Moses I’m not impressed with Canpbell
Browns good defense but those Detroit play calls after the 20 yard play to the TE…woof
And go for it on 4th and 9….now they won’t get ball back and if do won’t have any time.
Great job by offensive line
Bad news is the Bears defense is now non existent as they need one stop to beat Ravens
Way to manhandle a winless team. 🙄

Hey we'll take any "W" right now. Still in it in the division.
Been a big Baker supporter but these injuries are hampering his performance. Way too many bad passes to open receivers that he'd normally make. If he's somewhat accurate this game wouldn't have been this close.
Too bad the Bears defense is apparently a dumpster fire. Next Sunday night will be make or break for these guys. Just hope Kareem Hunt and DPJ are back and Chubb's ready to roll again.

Watching the Browns of late it seems they aren’t making huge errors on plays but make small errors that others can pick them up on…..but they are not.
Just survive and add up some meh wins and hope the health and the matchup works out in the early playoff round.

Oppositions running game has the book on the Browns defense now...run it up the gut.
Never thought I'd say this but Joe Woods bailed out Stefanski's play calling today.

The way I see it, we need to win 4 of the next 5 games……and I just don’t see that happening. Even winning 3 of the last 5 is a long shot, imo. Oh, wait, I forgot there are 17 games. We still won’t make it.

One thing you aren’t figuring in is that every team sucks

We also need to clean up the penalties, especially the pre-snap penalties. We got away with it today, but this will cost us against a good team.

Yet, we need to go on a tear for the rest of the season….and I don’t see that happening.

They are as alive as any of about 8-9 other teams in the AFC, especially if PIT gets stomped tonight as expected.
No idea how things are going to shake out, but 3 wildcards take your pick: IND, BUF/NE, LVS, LAC, CIN, CLE, PIT.
My guess is CIN/CLE/PIT will be the 7 seed (IND & BUF 5th and 6th seeds).

Goodness
Baker playing today hurt the Browns. This was a perfect game (like Denver) to sit and get healthy. Fucking dumb. Stefanski and the trainer need to get control and sit him if he is that hurt. Keenum would’ve been the better option, even with more limited plays and abilities.
posted by Ironman92Heard this morning that he apparently dropped the old "yo mama so fat" on a Browns player. Bur seriously, #73 got the taunting call for saying something derogatory about Clowney's mother. I kid you not.Did they ever show what #73 fir Detroit did? Detroit ran a first down inside of the 40…..they went to the line and let last 8 seconds run off the clock to end the quarter.
