The Browns are, once again, an inelegant mess.
We’re past the point where we’re talking about the Browns as an overhyped disappointment — even those who didn’t buy into the whole “This is their year” thing have to be a bit shocked by the extent to which this team has fallen off a cliff in 2019. They were 2-6 at the season’s halfway point, and though they managed to turn things around a bit to get to 6-9, Sunday’s 31-15 loss to the Ravens was yet another embarrassment for a team that lacks any manner of discipline and consistency. Once again, Freddie Kitchens fell victim to weird clock management, ineffective play-calling, and his own players berating him on the sideline.
Odell Beckham Jr. is clearly upset with Freddie Kitchens.

As for quarterback Baker Mayfield? Safe to say, the bloom is off the rose.
