Browns blow it against Chargers

The Cleveland Browns squandered a two-touchdown lead as they lost the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 30-28.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It is beyond comical at this point when it comes to the ways the Cleveland Browns find ways to lose. Cleveland was spotted 14 points early by the visiting Los Angeles Chargers and even held a 21-17 lead at the half. With momentum clearly in the Chargers favor, a very predictable second half played out as as Cleveland was outscored 13-7 and now sit at 2-3 on the year. At some point team personnel need to be held accountable and not just be the recipient of a stern talking to.

Los Angeles came into this game averaging just 64 yards per game on the ground and this lackluster unit managed to gash the Browns defense. Very few teams are capable of outrushing Cleveland’s offense (238-213) and the Chargers should not be one of them. Cleveland’s defensive tackle group is one of the worst in the NFL and this is a major problem. Opponents will continue to exploit their interior as they manage to neutralize Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney on the outside.

It simply does not matter how well the Browns play this season, they are just not a good team. This goes beyond just players, but coaches and front office as well. Not being adequately prepared and looking completely lost at times has been their trademark so far this season. Kevin Stefanski can say all he wants about cleaning things up, but until it happens his message will fall on deaf ears.

There is saying things and then there is doing things. Post game statements are completely worthless and until stuff changes on the field it is more than fair to question them.
