What's to say? Beat down at the hands of the Titans 43 -13. Dream team was a nightmare.

Baker also hurt his right hand or wrist or something. He had an xray on it (negative). So that might be a concern for them going forward.

Don't know if it was Wilks himself who hurt their defense, but early returns aren't positive.

Ian Rapoport just reported that it is just a bruise.

The real issue was the penalties. I watched nearly the whole game, they had 18 penalties for way over 100 yards, in fact they had over 100 yards in penalties in the first half. Two TD drives by the Titans were extended by penalties, one I think had 4 penalties on teh one drive. They were down 3 points when Henry busted off that 75 yard catch and run TD. It seemed like Cleveland imploded then. Classic case of frustrated young QB deciding to win the game on his own and 3 picks later it was over.

The defense was bad, but the offense and the penalties were a major reason why.

They had 7 OL's when the game started, one got kicked out for kicking a defender in the head, his replacement got hurt. So by the 4th quarter they were actually deciding which TE was going to play OL if they had another injury.

I still like Baker but he does have to learn you can't win games on your own in the NFL.

I don't think Freddie K is going to be a good coach and Odell is a big baby so what happens when they start losing and he's not getting targeted lol

The system works.
Watch the highlights of the game. One play that has Wilks written all over it in particular. The long TD scored on the Henry screen pass. Notice the horrible pursuit angles the Browns defense took on that play, several of them were out of position also.
