Belichick so desperately wanted to have a team like this that he could scheme is way into success. And now this is the results. Turns out he’s not that good without the goat that he wanted to kick out the door. Aside from seeing the Ravens or Steelers lose, nothing gives me as much Schadenfreude as watching the Patriots lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 As a Browns fan, never really understood the Patriots hate. Yeah, seeing them in the SB every other year got boring and Boston sports fans in general are the worst, but if it weren't for them, how many SB appearances do the Ravens and Steelers have over the years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame my grandfather and his uncanny knack for knowing that I was trying to change the TV channel when a Browns/Buckeyes game was on and he was snoring on his recliner...to this day I curse his name under my breath every Browns season and still try to figure out how he would snap out of his slumber and yell at me to leave the game on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I gave away one dumb penalty in my rugby career. Belfast used to kick a 3 point penalty. We lost 6-5 in a hell of a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what bothers me about situations like that- You can easily tell that player “hey we did a lot of bad ish to even get to this point.” It’s the truth, as a team there’s stuff you all could have done to prevent that from happening. However, that kid knew the totality of the moment and thinks he’s all to blame. Edited October 21, 2023 by candyman93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Quote Offenses are simply not creating chunk plays through the air or on the ground, a culmination of a recent trend (or renaissance) in defensive philosophy that wants to make offenses earn those yards and points, sacrificing multiple short gains to take away the long ball. While more reps can lead to leaner muscle in real life, it forces offenses to make effective plays constantly and hope their moments of selected aggression work out more often than not. It’s like the 3 ball in the NBA. Teams will eventually adjust. The Browns are a perfect example of this. They refuse to let pocket passers beat them, especially deep. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/the-overhang-nfl-scoring-is-down-and-offenses-have-been-sputtering-and-heres-why/ar-AA1iwhRO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that kid knew the totality of the moment and thinks he’s all to blame. Another assistant came up to him and showed him his wrist band that he was wearing for one of his coworkers and the kid’s teachers, who had a 4 year old son dying of cancer. He gently grabbed him, pointed to the band and said “Son, this is a big deal. What happened tonight is a game. Remember that.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
