WYNN - BROWNS - Ya Think Ya Know A Guy...

Written by

SW small Logo Man, where to begin this week as last week I gave Kevin Stefanski real props on growing up as a head coach. I even said I thought the Seattle loss a few weeks ago woke him up as he about single-handedly blew that game with terrible decision making down the stretch.  Turns out with that loss nothing was really learned last Sunday at Denver, it was twice as bad. I admit, I was far too quick on the praise.

What happened Sunday was simply awful. Terrible play calling, a bad game plan, decision making was ridiculous and the result was horrendous. Not running the ball against the worst run defense in the entire NFL is just stupid.  BTW, running the ball is what his team does best offensively -  by far.  Good backs and high priced and excellent run blocking offensive linemen.  Asking these QB's to throw it 42 times on the road in Denver was just dumb.  And dialing up some backyard razzle-dazzle double reverse handoff, pitch thing with 2 third stringers trying to pull it off in the fourth quarter was just -  beyond boneheaded.  I'm sure he's the butt of many player meetings around the league again this week as that play pretty much blew the game. And it also made us look like bozo's.  It's unforgivable and embarrassing. Who does this stuff?

There were all kinds of calls on social media, "Fire Stefanski now!!" and that type of thing, but I don't buy into that at all right now.  What I would like is for him to LEARN SOMETHING!  These decisions are stuff of amateurs.  The "Fire Stefanski Crowd" is just mad and emotional and I get that.  But firing him just makes us start over and I don't want that, and I don't think they do either.  A new head coach means eventually new staff, new assistants and a new era.  I want the coach to learn what doesn't work and stop it with the ding-dong decisions when it matters! 

We all have people in our lives that "know everything" right?  They project there's nothing new for them to learn, and in my life I have no time for those people. I don't know, maybe Stefanski IS that guy. He's an Ivy Leaguer, maybe he honestly thinks he's the smartest guy in any room.  Maybe he thinks he "knows best."  Maybe he thinks he's just smarter than the rest of the NFL.  I don't know if any of that is true. But I do know this.  We looked Sunday like we were not ready to play, and at times it looked like it was his first game.  And when the game was still in doubt, he made us look like a Blooper Reel of Facebook memes and GIF's that put players in a position to fail that shouldn't be.  I gotta wonder what Schwartz, and Callahan think about this nonsense.  Myles Garrett too, Botonio, veterans trying to win at long last.

With extremely well managed and prepared wins against the Ravens, Steelers and 49ers, I thought coach had finally figured out that with this team, this year, under these very tough circumstances, he found the formula to win buy NOT GETTING IN THE WAY!  Sunday was a major step backwards in decision making. I hope the assistants gave him hell on the ridiculous game plan. And I hope the players did too. Everyone out there busting their humps for beyond bad play calling and backyard trick plays you would draw up in the dirt with Uncle John in the backyard after Thanksgiving dinner, with Aunt Louise and your cousins playing defense. 

So we get another crack at the NFL today as we visit the upstart Rams on the road. And let's hope last Sunday was just a hiccup.  Man, Ya Think Ya Know A Guy.....

GO BROWNS
