In this breakdown of the Browns’ tough loss against the Raiders, we dive into the reasons why there’s still plenty of optimism for Cleveland’s future this season. Despite the rough patches, there were signs of progress, particularly in Deshaun Watson’s standout performance under pressure. We explore how Watson’s leadership is evolving and why this could be the turning point for the Browns.
From offensive flashes like the impressive opening drive to key mistakes that cost them the game, we analyze everything: dropped passes, missed PATs, questionable coaching decisions, and more. But don’t lose hope yet—there are solid reasons why Cleveland can still turn the corner.
Key Takeaways:
Deshaun Watson’s leadership and improved performance
Offensive and defensive struggles (and how they’re fixable)
Player accountability and coaching adjustments needed
Upcoming key returns from injury, including Nick Chubb and Mike Hall Jr.
The importance of playing complementary football

Not going to happen
Aye I gotta call u back Joey dropped a vid 🔥😂
Thank you!
Right on..I think the refs need to do better
We need this optimism. Love your takes man keep it up 👍
Yeah. Unfortunate loss. Sad loss. But I too saw some of that Deshawn balls out effort like in the Raiders victory last year. We SHOULD have won that game. Browns beat the browns and the Raiders got to celebrate. All in vs Redskins
I picked us going 4-6 to start the year and go 11-6 in the end, we'll see if my prediction stays true.
I love the positivity. I went to Vegas and told all my friends that was the game that I was gonna be in or out officially on Watson. He played IMO, so he gets 2 more games until he starts stringing them together.
Awesome video.
I hope so
My man, been a fan from jump and will continue to be so. But I think its being pretty generous to suggest Deshaun “balled out.” Its fair to say he played good enough to warrant winning that game. But he seemed allergic to the idea of pushing the ball downfield in the first half. He definitely turned it on in the 2nd half. But that was fine at best my guy. Lol
Aint nothing happening.
I think the Browns can turn their season around but to what extent? Maybe instead of 5-6 wins they get 8-9 wins? This doesn’t even remotely look like a playoff team. I don’t think Nick Chubb or Njoku returning is going to rebuild the offensive line or lazy mentality of the team.
The schedule is going to get much, much harder in the second half of the season. The Browns have no OL. No running game. No QB. Trouble stopping the run. Very poor play calling. Inept GM. Clown owner. There is NO WAY the Browns are going to turn around this season. I wish it could happen, but you are going against the Laws of Physics.
Joey the Captain of the ship named “The Optomism”!
And now here comes the Browns will comeback & resurrect their season speech!!!!
Go Ahead Joey!!!!
That clip of Watson talking to Jones after the fact is such a gem. I haven’t seen a single CLE sports person show that clip except you. Fantastic takes bro
We're gonna get smacked around by Washington this week . We'll meep finding ways to lose! Im ao done investing in this franchise! Terrible feom the top down!
JJ is have a way better season than Coop! One player looks like he has something to prove and the other looks content and like he knows this is his last yr!
This guy must be on the Browns payroll. Or using LSD watching the games
To say he balled out when he took a sack on the last play of the game.
I mean i realize he didnt play as bad as his stats say he did.
But i cant get with balled out that's crazy.
The structure of your videos is extremely well done. Super clear points and logical flow of your analysis. Your prep is on point.
Anyone seen Zadarius Smith???? Guy has been a ghost
Yo…Im glad you are calling it how it is. Dont care if people unsub or get butt-hurt because the Browns are being dookie…you are here to tell the truth and not be a simp for the Browns with no payoff for us and the fanbase. Too many bootlicker casual Browns fans who always expect the bare minimum and are casuals who dont know sh*t. Be real my homey, and dont do puff pieces for the little Sallys on here.
Keep Jed, Thornhill and the Buckeyes player
Stefanski will never call a game in the Super Bowl. He will continue with the same disappointing, mediocre results until he gives up play calling, at least
I LOVE YOUR TAKE WATSON DID BALL OUT !!!!!
I believe we can turn it around hopefully we get a run game back that way they can't just blitz us every play
Finally… someone that knows football
Losing to the giants and raiders might be too much to overcome
totally agree with you about the Dawand Jones scuffle. i don't see how people are seeing that as a negative. Peyton Manning would lay into his linemen all the timr
i do think next season we will be superbowl contenders, cause we got our draft picks back, we could get a offensive line player
Fantastic work as always!
The players need to take all these close losses and sloppy play personally and come out with a fire!
IDK man I can see us being cooked already too…but I'm here for it either way.
16:40 How are the fans justified for not liking him to boo him and make it worse for him at home than on the road?
I like your channel and content bud, but re-think that phrase for a second. That puts a bigger light on the fans if they're giving him a harder time than the away crowds. 💯
