The Cleveland Browns and head coach Kevin Stefanski hit the road with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson and it didn’t go how they wanted it. They suffered more major injuries, including to Thompson-Robinson, and just couldn’t take care of the football. The Denver Broncos had been living off of turnovers coming into this week and they keep t that winning recipe forcing three more against the Browns.
Thompson-Robinson was starting to settle in and it seemed like he was taking a step forward until his injury. More drops plagued the offense and an eventual injury to Amari Cooper shut down Cleveland’s offense.
Defensively they got burned by big plays and they missed Denzel Ward in a bad way as Greg Newsome II was picked on all day long. The Broncos were ready for the Browns’ run defense and showed a major flaw in Cleveland’s defensive armor.
Let’s take a look at how Browns Twitter reacted to this week’s loss to drop the Browns to 7-4.
Injured players:
Deshaun Watson
Nick Chubb
Jack Conklin
Jed Wills
Denzel Ward
Anthony Walker
Rodney McLeod
DTR (?)
Amari Cooper(?)
Myles Garrett (?)Soon to be (most likely) playing a 4th QB. Winning 7 games to this point is remarkable. But, let’s bash the coaching staff.

I think it's fair with an 11 game sample to say that Elijah Moore has been a big disappointment.
Not good enough considering the asset the Browns parted with to add him.

PJ Walker is the worst QB I’ve ever seen

Awful game from start to finish. Regroup and find a way to win in LA.

Joe Flacco absolutely gives the Browns the best chance to win. Take it for what it’s worth.

You could stand next to PJ Walker and blow in his ear and he wouldn’t know you were there #browns

This loss will either derail the Browns season or be a huge wake up call.
This was just a bad bad loss.

Never want to see another Walker snap

The #Browns defense continues look average on the road Jim Schwartz needs to get it fixed quickly.

Kevin Stefanski developing the QB in live time. DTR looked uncomfortable. Stefanski kept setting him up for success and he started getting better. If the Broncos have to respect him, it opens up the run more.

Eventually I’m landing at it was just a bad game, scrap it, get one in LA.

The NFL is the ultimate week to week league because now the section of Browns fans who think Stefanski sucks are out in full force.
Was today a good day for him? No, but it happens.

they lost Nick Chubb in game two. they're playing with a different quarterback every single week, and one of them (PJ Walker) is not even NFL caliber. if Joe Flacco starts next week, it will be their fourth different starter in 12 games. it's a miracle they're 7-4 and not 0-12
— Jordan Zirm (@JordanZirm) November 27, 2023
I can’t take another minute of watching Phillip Walker Jr. trying to play quarterback. If DTR can’t go next week, it has to be Flacco. I can’t believe this is where they’re at, but this is where they’re at.

The really sad part is DTR is actually making so many high level throws, and they just aren’t helping him at all.
