On another note, Joe Woods was considered for replacement last year but apparently Stefanski lobbied hard to retain him.

That’s because Stefanski isn’t a good head coach when it comes down to it. Good head coaches don’t let feelings influence decisions. He accepts blame when it’s not really his fault … that’s fine to do once in awhile. But at this point it has become his blame since he doesn’t hold assistants accountable. I don’t think he’s actually a bad coach, but how he handles his staff and team, makes him a bad coach. Otherwise he’s a really good coach.

What part are you hung up on? I mean there was only 1 lol  he doesn’t hold his staff accountable  and that makes him a bad head coach.

Why do we even have Chubb on this team. I hate Stefanski. 

Ha I did not like the call to do a long pass to your 3rd TE. He was open but Brissett leaving everything short. Nice forced fumble by Myles.

Woods is so bad

Not great playcalling either. So frustrating. 

Stefanski has no idea how to use Chubb. He only has 8 carries, and we are in the third quarter.

What the fuck? Wrap up on a tackle. A junior high player knows that.

This could get ugly

We will come back, and then do something stupid at the end.

Apparently not… this defense needs fixed.

Right on schedule. Moron doesn't know to kick it to make it one score game.

Clock is starting to tick on Stefanski.

Just hope the Browns stench doesn't rub off on the Tribe. GO TRIBE !!!

In other less surprising news, Watson is accused of rape...Again....

You're a few days late and, unless there was some kind of physical force, nothing to see here.

Oh, and just like the Browns, your team STILL sucks.

Oh...so rape is now based on proof of coercion....Good to know....

lol regretting things you do isn’t rape. And he already got punished, you can’t punish more for the same “crime”.

I didn’t listen, so did Stefanski do his usual press conference schtick?

Basically the same thing. He added "We have to get Nick more carries and stay out of third and long." 

It's sad to see this guy waste talent.

I see the same thing about “feed Chubb” every game.

Is any head coach OC that stubborn/dumb every game?

No you just can’t line up and run him but he’s your best player and arguably the best back in the league. No reason he shouldn’t have 10 carries in the first half every game…and then go from there.

Double-standard says hello

But, in his defense, Watson probably can't remember how many women he raped.

icl covered it. Unless there are new/different accusations from the original group, like physical proof of being violently forced, there's nothing to see here. He's settled and this would fall under the settlement.

Patriots were ready for Chubb. With that being said, I've been banging the drum for 20-25 carries per game and 3-5 passes. So sick and tired of this "load management" bullshit. RB's have a prime that they go through fairly quickly and hit a wall. Use him while you got him because he might not want to stick around for this shit fest when his next contract is up.

The Browns run defense was actually pretty solid today but they have this uncanny knack for for being the victims of Patriot QB's "coming out parties." Made the rook look WAY better than they should have.

Oh, and the next several weeks are going to be PAINFUL watching Brissett. Dude is far from "it." I think he may be worse at seeing the field than Mayfield. 

Will be interesting if Haslam will allow the FO to use the "we're using our backup QB" excuse to save Stefanski.
