The Good

Jacoby Brissett

Give Jacoby Brissett all the respect in the world. He’s no gunslinger but man, he can sling it when he’s given time. He’s had two dimes to Amari Cooper for a touchdown, and an awesome throw to Harrison Bryant in the back of the endzone that he wasn’t able to bring down in bounds. Cooper’s been impressive too. If he had a better set of teammates around him, who knows what he looks like?

Or a better play-caller.

The 1st Quarter  Defense

The Cleveland Browns’ defense in the first quarter looked incredible. They were swarming Josh Allen, stuffing running backs, making big hits, and getting in the backfield. It was awesome. It was like someone brought us the wrong order of food. Then the second quarter happened, and it was like the waiter came back to the table to apologize for giving us the wrong food, took the good food, gave us the old nasty food, and then gave us both tables’ checks.

The 1st Quarter Offense

Kevin Stefanski has scored a touchdown with their first drive of the game five times. They are 0-5. Whatever black magic nonsense that Stefanski casts for that opening drive clearly can’t be reduplicated. It’s time for him to turn over the play-calling because he’s just not very good.
