Post-Game Thread Browns 28-Titans 14

Mariota held on to it too long today as well. He was being too careful because his wrs weren't wide open like last week and in college. This is something he's going to have to adjust to. Giving his wrs chance to make plays.

Also he looked rattled in the first half from getting hit. It affected his accuracy and decision making ability.

 

Mariota already has half the touchdowns VY had when he won OROY. I think MM has a decent shot of breaking 30 passing TD this year.

 

Same story for a few years... bad line, bad defense.

 

I was thinking the same when his passes in the first half were to high, behind the receivers, or right to the defenders. I'm kind of glad that we lost this game and early. Now he gets to chew on this loss and think about it a bit. This might of been the best thing to happen to him this season.

 

What is he even doing out there? Surely there's a backup LB or CB that's on the bench they could put in his spot. He just ran down there and didn't even chase the guy.

 

:anon:

 

Whoever said the Browns let up clearly didn't watch the game.

It's not like the game was out of reach.

As crazy as it may seem, it was our first drive that pinned us so far back by needing 20 yards for the first down deep in our territory. It's like we never recovered, as far as field position goes. This is the sole reason why I HATE with a passion getting the ball first to start the game. A 3 and out on your first drive from the 20 can be extremely dangerous and give the other team easy access to an easy score.

 

Agree with this. Get this ugly loss out of the way. Learn and improve.

 

tied Marino with 6 in first 2 games

 

Got to give mariota credit. The dude hung in there and brought us back within striking dustance. Good to see hm come back from really bad adversity . He grows from this game. He is a rookie. The play that killed us today was the punt return for TD right before half. That made it 3 TD instead 14-0. Big difference
