Really good point re the counts. He may as well counted down "3....2....1"Great analysis and I’m not going to argue with any of it.
All I’d add is Baker did an abysmal job with his snap counts yesterday - which is something wholly irrelevant to an injury. We should've had 5-6 penalties drawn if we would've just gone with a hard count more frequently. There were a number of plays where the Steelers were out of their stances or in full stride before the ball was snapped. That also would've helped our tackles because they wouldn't have had to play on their heels against an opponent who was guessing the snap count and beating us off the ball.
I love the guy, but right now he doesn’t seem to be developing that much. Still panics in the pocket too much, especially when it collapses. As you pointed out, he’s had to work under several coaches and that’s definitely affected him. My own view (although many here in Cleveland think the same) is that he’s got this season to figure it out. If he doesn’t look any better in games 12-16, we may be shopping for someone experienced. Right now he’s a franchise face/ personality, but not a franchise QB.Really good point re the counts. He may as well counted down "3....2....1"
Cannot help but think a very good QB would have handled that much better and picked up a few penalties.
Where do you stand on Mayfield, in general?

The Jets get the best picks year on year but look where it gets them.That's my view. I really want him to succeed as he has some of the natural talent needed to be a franchise QB.
Just imagine, next year, someone like the Jets will get Trevor Lawrence. Ffs

As a fellow Packers fan - you spoke to soon. And against the NFL Rags affiliates. Not sure what happened there. We hammered out of the blocks 10 points up but the O line and Rogers went to shit almost like a switch was thrown.
Re my other team.
@roman totale @Manc in London - You played the Steelers in top form on both sides of the ball, only going to be one winner. Getting excited for this team.
It was the right thing to do.I went to bed at ten points up :(
I have NFL season pass on my IPTV and it all looked well in hand...
Fucking Brady. I even stopped outside Tampa's stadium last year with my lad just to give the Glazer's outfit the two fingers.
Obviously jinxed it.
Managed to stay up & watch MNF.Cowboys lose yet again, with the offense turning over almost as many points as the defense. Wonder if Skip Bayless could actually self-combust this year...
