3 Good and 3 Bad from the Cleveland Browns loss to the Atlanta Falcons

The Bad

The passing game

We talked before about what this team will look like when Amari Cooper gets taken out of games and that’s exactly what happened. The Falcons made Cooper a non-factor and in turn, Jacoby Brissett looked like a non-factor. This wasn’t as bad as the Carolina game, but any talk of a quarterback controversy died a death today.

The defensive line play

There are some people who think the Browns have good young defensive tackles. There are some people who think dyed ketchup tastes different. Those people are both wrong. The Browns got carved up like a Christmas ham on Sunday, and any thought, conversation, or declaration about how good the interior line of this team is should be dead. The Browns need to be on the phone and calling around to free agent tackles because this team does not have any worth talking about.

Playing Calling

Whether it was calling for a fourth-and-goal offensive play instead of kicking it, doing a jet sweep with lumbering David Njoku, or burning through all of your timeouts early, Kevin Stefanski really screwed the pooch on this one. The Browns played four of the worst teams in the NFL and truthfully, should be 1-3 right now. This is not a team that can win if they don’t catch breaks or play perfectly. Sunday proved that.
