Looks like that will be the kid from UCLA - Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He was decent at UCLA, but I don't recall him being exactly elite there. He certainly had his moment. At lest he isn't a sexual predator (that we know of) and doesn't have a stupid contract that makes him the ultimate albatross. The Browns really shot themselves in the foot with Watson.

Pretty simple chart illustrating what I already know. Art Smith is the worst coach in pro ball.

Browning is still around in the NFL? He disappeared off the face of the earth, more or less. At least he's not Clipboard Jesus.

I was surprised too. The game was playing on the background where we were last night. I stopped what I was doing when I heard them say Jake Browning and went to the TV to confirm it was the Jake we know. Sure enough, it was him.

I wasn't watching. How did he do? He always seemed like a decent human, so I hope he did reasonably well.

The rookie in Cleveland came through. Did Watson ever beat the Steelers?

So, Warren is having the game of his career and is the only Steeler able to do anything on the offense. They take the ball out of his hands when the game is on the line and give it to Pickett and stonehands Johnson. Canada should have been fired right there on the field.

Did you happen to notice how unhappy he was on the 75 yard Warren TD?
The very next drive, Warren didn't even see the field. Two runs to Harris after a short pass, three and out.
Harris is another former Alabama bust. He's nothing.
The guy has a serious ego problem in addition to his inability to call an NFL offense. I saw a couple interviews recently where he blew off the folks interviewing him like they were not worthy of his time.
As for Pickett, that's what he is. He won't get better than he is now. The Steelers front office got enamored with a local kid and went all in on a career backup to save the franchise. But hey, he's going to come cheap at the next contact renewal because he doesn't have any stats to prove otherwise so the bean counters will love him. He'll help Tomlin ensure he never finishes under 500 while keeping his mouth shut, so Tomlin loves the guy.
From the moment that ball was kicked off, the Steelers played with little more desire than not to lose. The lone exceptions to that would include Cam, Warren, TJ, and, Highsmith.
Cleveland rolls out backups at key positions all over the offense and the Steelers made them look like the old Oilers run and shoot. I get it, it's hard to prep for players you don't have much tape on, but come on already.
Classic Tomlin near the end of the first half, down 10 points with a couple seconds on the clock and you get the ball back to start the third. Throw a Hail Mary? Try something, anything, to score? Nope, they kneel on it to end the half. Doesn't even give his guys a chance to try. Loser mentality right there.

The Browns thank him for his knuckleheadedness.

Chiefs let the win slip through their fingers multiple times. That dropped TD pass was inexcusable. Then they follow it with a dropped 1st down pass on 4th and 20+? :eek::vomit::bored:

Yep, the loss of Bienemy as OC coupled with the continued deterioration of their WR group has really hurt. That said, they're only a half game out of the race for the top seed in the AFC.
