Low block on D.... no.... poor call Savage was going for the tackle.

Adams never came to a full 1 second stop before ball was hiked. I didn't watch a replay, so I don't know if another player moved while Adams was in motion. That's the only thing I thought it could be.

This is a Packers team that likes to play off 7+ yards, but doesn't seem to realize it doesn't work on 4th and 1.

Nice rush by Clark to prevent the quick throw and then Gary finished it off.
another GB DB who held onto the ball. How much is the QB on the free agent market?

I wonder if Mayfield gets the Goff treatment.
Thegreatreynoldo
December 25, 2021 at 04:28 pm
Browns exercised Mayfield's 5th year option at $18.85M (for 2022), so that is guaranteed. Googling, there is an article suggesting Cleveland offered $30M/year on an extension, but IDK: he isn't a guy that I'd want to put a ton of guaranteed money on the line.
I suppose he might be a guy one can win with, if not because of.

Nice one-handed catch by Lazard.
Hard running by Jones with a broken tackle.

Jones had a nice blitz pickup...allowed the dumpoff to Lewis. Otherwise 12 gets lit up.

Did you see Clark out wide on the 3rd and 16? Thought it was interesting. Gary and Smith on the same side. No real rush on the play. Not sure I would go with that alignment again.
BAMABADGER

Defense has not stopped the Browns yet.... Mayfield has.... not good this deep into the season.

Yeah, it's ugly at this point without the two picks.

What we have seen from the defense the past two weeks is a 1 or 2 and done defense.

Need to score early and often in the second half. The D will not win this unless Mayfield plays at his current level : )

Why won't the league approve steel toe shoes for broken toes?

"I would like to see Mayfield under the center, so Rasoul, Darnell, Adrian and/or Eric (finally) get their INT and/or pick six."
That what I wrote 2 days ago...
Maybe to become fortune teller?
Thegreatreynoldo
December 25, 2021 at 05:08 pm
Mayfield hasn't been an interception machine in 2020 or 2021, somewhere in the 1.7% area (2.0% this year coming into the game). Relying on errant throws/INTs by Mayfield would not have been a good strategy, IMO, but that's what is happening.
So, I am thinking that the Browns can put up points in the second half. Time to get points on the first possession in the 2nd half to make them more one-dimensional. Still waiting for GB to shut down the pitches wide, particularly to the Brown's right side.
BAMABADGER
December 25, 2021 at 05:09 pm
ST are so Special.
Thegreatreynoldo
December 25, 2021 at 05:10 pm
Nice run. Made Greedy Williams (a guy I wanted in the draft) miss and it was off to the races. STs puts GB in the hole once again.
BAMABADGER
December 25, 2021 at 05:15 pm
Take communications away from the Packer play challenge guy upstairs. That was an obvious incomplete pass from the git go. Another waste of a time out.

Thegreatreynoldo
December 25, 2021 at 05:22 pm
The field goal unit has looked smooth or at least smoother these last couple of games. Crosby is splitting the uprights more often than not lately.
I was going to write something snarky but Deguara really didn't get a chance to turn upfields with any authority before getting hit. That said, I don't think running people over is his forte.

Thegreatreynoldo
December 25, 2021 at 05:42 pm
That was kind of an interesting decision to have Adams run a little route over the middle just 5 yards downfield on 3rd and 19. That looked like a field position decision.

From today's game it is evident that our defense is not top 10 worthy
Oppy

I agree.
Also, neither is the offense. Which, I guess, it isn't rated top ten anyways. But it certainly doesn't look play off ready, regardless.

Was that the million-dollar sack for Smith?
Thegreatreynoldo

8th sack so it is worth $1.25M so far. 10 is worth another $750K or $2M in incentives earned.

This team is not looking right at the moment. The defense was undeniably soft, but they managed to take 4 INTs on the day and held the Browns to 22 points. (Browns average PPG coming into today's game was 21.9, and the league median PPG in 2021 is 23.85, so, ultimately, the Packers D surrendered roughly league average points today.) It certainly could have been worse without the picks, but then, that is part of playing defense.
Offense scored 25, obviously over the 23.85 median PPGs across the league, so a bit better than average.. HOWEVER, this is an offense led by Rodgers and an offense that had the benefit of 4 extra possessions provided by the defense. Three back-to-back 3 and outs is not what you're looking for to close out a game in the second half.
Ultimately, I'm happy with the win, none of them are easy, and the W is all that really counts.. but this team is currently trending the wrong way heading into the playoff run.
Oddly.. Special Teams showed substantial improvement, though.
