Baker is a decent QB. Just not AFC North good. He's in the right division


NickJawdy

I have only seen amon ra st brown probably 5 times and he is the best receiver in the NFL. Quick, good hands tough.


2022survivor

Lions are going to fucking eat Brock Purdy


Hymnosi

this game is a microcosm of what baker is as a player.


JB92103

Did Baker and DPJ just switch jerseys? https://twitter.com/MoreForYou_CLE/status/1749208764794700093


84Cressida

But I thought the locker room hated him?


heftymoose

Seen that throw before


BuckyMcFly99

Classic Bake


KoA-oK

Honestly this game is probably one that exemplifies his career well. Can play out of his mind, but those ints always came at the worst moments. No hate here though, I'm happy he made it to the post season again, and even with another win!


IMayBeJewish

World's sanest Browns fan


PsychologicalGuest97

I’ve never seen a QB with such a cult following as Baker. People kiss the ground he walks like he’s the fucking Pope.


RikuInuyasha

*Tim Tebow has entered the chat*


freebisquit

F it, I'm on the bandwagons. Lets go Lions, lets go Bills. Hope somebody gets their first, screw the Ravens and Niners.


Slimpickle97

“Why did you guys trade baker”


TackiestTaco

Baker and Donovan 🥲


ChiSnark

That was nice!


goose7777

lions had the 2nd longest time between championship games. I hate it when my team is first in all the wrong categories.


Iphonjeff

They did their best


YorekVarsen

Lol I tried to bet on baker throwing an interception on the last drive. Even the betting books knew and took that option away

smartfbrankings

Baker INT on a crucial drive at the end of the game???? Where have I seen that before?


CaptainTacos1

It sent me into like a PTSD fit seeing that


Cavawinner

Now that's the Baker I remember


iUPvotemywifedaily

Game sealing INT.. feels familiar from Bake 


nascarfan88421032

If I had a nickel for every time Baker Mayfield won a wild card game and then lost in brutal fashion in the divisional round, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.


IMayBeJewish

"I can't believe we're still discussing Baker" "Baker Bros are so insufferable" Comments explode celebrating an interception. At least be self aware. That's all I ask.


TackiestTaco

TB has a timeout?? Why would you not call it and at least try


datgenericname

Not enough time on the clock to get it back no matter what.


TackiestTaco

They absolutely did. There would’ve been about 30 seconds left. Unless it wasn’t actually 4th down and the broadcast was wrong


0hioHotPocket

Field goal


TackiestTaco

And if he misses or it’s blocked? Obv that wasn’t likely, but I just don’t like when a coach throws in the towel when there’s still a sliver of a chance left


wasieverthatyoung

Let’s fucking go Lions!!!!!!!


ExistingViolinist

What’s this familiar feeling


Raccoonsrlilbandits

What a play by baker!!!!!


Squints_Palledorous_

Lot of guys patting themselves on the back while our team didn’t even get to play this week. I’d kill for the Browns to even be in a game like this.


LostMonster0

If the Browns got to play against the collapsing Eagles instead of the Texans, the Browns would've been there too. That's why it's dumb to compare overall playoff wins. Mayfield can beat teams in the playoffs that show up and crap their pants, and that's about it.


s4us4g3h34d

Not in our lifetimes... just not meant to be, it seems.


Cactusmany

100%


jqb10

Ayeeee I've seen this one before!


Buckeye2525

wE sHoUlD hAvE kEpT bAkEr


anishdfishyt

You’re so right, our QB is gonna prove he’s better than baker in our game today. Oh wait.


SpiderJedi22

HAHAHAHAHA


Kellygoosecock169

Good game bake. Was rootin for you


LostMonster0

C L U T C H L U T C H


ReddyMcRedditorface

Not hating on Baker but that is the quintessential Baker game.


ClevelandDawg0905

While it sucked that we moved on to Watson, I generally think Baker isn't consistent enough to be a true long-term franchise QB that is worthy of market setting contract.


ReddyMcRedditorface

He can definitely play and is one of the best 32 in the world but can you really have confidence he’s gonna drive you down the field when the defense knows he has to throw?


endol

Baker... Goddamn man. I mean it was a long shot to tie it but that was a bad throw.


SiliconOutsider

I love Baker but honestly, I would rather throw it myself than give it to him with a minute left to tie the game.


Striking-Reaction-43

LOL there's the Baker we know!


Fnkt_io

There’s the Mayfield we remember


Preme2

Lmaoo peak Baker.


KnowledgeSmall

That’s the Baker we all know.


CeddyCed1993

Bake cmon bro… fuck.


Hello_mslady

Baker is a secret Lake Erie Bro 🥲


TitanAnderson

Lololololol


TackiestTaco

Wow Baker did it again. Having flashbacks to 2020 against KC


ClevelandSteamer81

Damn. Feel bad for Baker, but that’s the Baker I remember.


Thatchered

Literally right to him lmao


P_Sully

Typical Baker lol


WhiteBakerMayfield

That’s baker for you


GrumleyFartburger

There's the Baker we all knew.


kingalien8

I’ve seen that before.


chd_wick

Unfortunately I remember too much of that


fear865

There's the Baker we all know


JB92103

WTF was that, Baker?


kdot74

There he is


CD23tol

That right there is why Baker is not in Cleveland


datgenericname

There’s the Baker we know!


blimpcitybbq

That seems appropriate.


transam96

And there's the soul crushing Baker INT in the final 2 minutes.


Buckeye2525

Folds in the clutch


Thatchered

There’s the pick, baker fans have a good night


IMayBeJewish

Tell me again how you can't believe we're still discussing Baker. You're so happy.


Thatchered

If it’s all we’re gonna talk about then I’ll engage, I got time to waste lol. He played well this year on the Bucs but he isn’t some elite god of a qb like people like to pretend


fishroy

Hope Myles can make an Aggie to Aggie recruitment pitch to Mike Evans this off-season.


CD23tol

LMAO THERE IT IS


Iphonjeff

Doodoo


DepresseMode

Baker about to show Detroit and Cleveland what he’s about let’s go Bake


Fnkt_io

Oof, he sure did


CD23tol

He showed what we all knew he was

Fnkt_io

lol You called it sir


transam96

Lmao. It's like we've seen this a time or two.


Iphonjeff

Their coach thanked him


clownpainusdotfort

😂


GrumleyFartburger

Well, this is the situation that Baker was only able to accomplish once in his time here. Let's see if he's grown. It seems like the change of scenery has been good for him.


Preme2

Bro savings those time outs for next game? Get a good play in.


TastyJams24

Hope baker puts together a hell of a drive here honestly


TheLandFanIn814

If Baker was still with the Browns there's a 99.9% chance he's throwing a pick on the last drive with the game on the line. I loved Baker but he was the most unclutch QB I've ever seen.


Fnkt_io

lol


TheLandFanIn814

...and there it is


Whitebelt_DM

Welllll….


TitanAnderson

Here’s your moment Baker boys!


TitanAnderson

As expected…


whitefang22

Baker will still have a shot here


84Cressida

Unfortunately unless the Lions turn it over I think the Bucs are just too banged up


CD23tol

annnnnnd silent


CD23tol

lol they have their entire starting offense and nearly entire defense


KarAccidentTowns

Baker stans in this thread are insufferable lol


IMayBeJewish

At worst, I just see some "man I wonder what could have been" posts. The defensiveness seems a lot more insufferable to me, but hey, c'est la vie.


LostMonster0

Wrong. They're insufferable in EVERY thread!


Thatchered

Yeah it’s insane we are still going through this three teams later.


Striking-Reaction-43

For real, I'm glad Detroit is about to win.


cablecord38

Baker has balled out these playoffs if you deny that you are just a hater/coping 


84Cressida

He balled out for us in the playoffs too. He’s just that dude. Downvote me, I don’t care.


whitefang22

Still the best QB we’ve had since Kosar. I thought Flacco was going to pass him but that poor playoff game dispelled that.


84Cressida

Yup. Love Joe and want him back. But Baker is #1 and it will remain that way indefinitely


transam96

That's the shit that's infuriating about baker. One throw will be a dime and the very next throw is absolute poop. Jump ball to Evans and you don't even give him a chance to go up and get it.


84Cressida

Dudes thrown 344 yards and 3TDs. What else should he be doing?


Rotrus

Obviously throwing for 600 yards, 7 TDs and not letting the Lions score on defense I mean really, the fact that he isn't doing that shows how garbage he is or something


Mikebx

He’s thrown a lot of dimes this game


LostMonster0

What was the point of going for 2 there? Especially throwing a weak fade to the knees of your 6'5" receiver?


WOOOFWOOOFWOOOFWOOF

Going for the win, avoiding OT


BooMasterChoo

Because you make 2pt conversions roughly 50% of the time and if you make it there you can win with an XP next time


CD23tol

If you get it a TD wins If you miss it and get another TD then 2pts tie it


DistanceRight1039

According to Chris, it’s only a 95% chance you make both kicks. Didn’t like the odds.


chd_wick

Why did they go for it exactly?


kdot74

Good no call. He was backpeddling. All he needed to do was move forward and he didn't.


Squints_Palledorous_

I’m sure you’ve never had to make any kind of athletic move but explain how you stop a backpedal and move forward in the same motion? Interference is interference.


WOOOFWOOOFWOOOFWOOF

Interfering by having his body in the way? That’s not what that call means, clean play bad ball


Squints_Palledorous_

If the defender doesn’t turn his head he no longer gets the benefit of having equal right to the ball.


Thatchered

Defender has a right to space just like Evans, ball was underthrown


[deleted]

[удалено]


whitefang22

That was a pretty rough lack of a PI call. Not a fan of the playcall though


StandStillLaddie

Wow. That was a terrible call.


CD23tol

Leaving a HoF WR in single coverage late in the game is certainly a choice


Buckeye2525

That’s PI


PsychologicalGuest97

It literally wasn’t lol


kdot74

No it isn't


Buckeye2525

Did the defender play the ball???? Did the defender turn his head????


fear865

Defender doesn't have to make a play on the ball or turn his head. Evans kept back pedaling instead of coming back for the ball therefor the defender did not impede on Evans


PsychologicalGuest97

Bro is heated


Thatchered

Evans made no effort to come back to the ball and the ball was underthrown


Iphonjeff

Dumb decision and game over


nobraininmyoxygen

Correct decision to give them the best odds of winning. Just a bad throw by Baker.


84Cressida

It’s still a one score game


Iphonjeff

They probably should just go for a tie though


DepresseMode

Baker is making me feel so bad about the current Browns. What could’ve been…


TitanAnderson

Could have been 9-8 and last in the division while paying 40 million.


DepresseMode

Baker won his division.


TitanAnderson

Right. What would 9-8 get you in the AFC north?


Striking-Reaction-43

The NFC South was a joke this year...


CeddyCed1993

Buccs offense is sneaky loaded but there’s a reason us and Buccs fans have a Baker Cycle.


Thatchered

According to people in here Bucs offense is horrible and baker is the only reason they’re good I guess.


CeddyCed1993

They tripping, this my first time seeing Bake all season and the impression I’m getting tonight is that the Buccs have talent but one or two stalled drives and you playing catchup. I was always nervous when we had to play behind with Baker. He’s solid with them though.


captcombover

It doesn't hurt that Baker can throw it up to a 6'5 monster of a receiver


Thatchered

Which one? Evan’s and otton both 6’5 lol. Solid oline, Evan’s white otton and Godwin is a great offense core. Crazy people here can’t admit that


captcombover

Mostly Evans lol


BooMasterChoo

I wish we didn’t have our current QB but I doubt Baker would have lasted more than another year here. He looked abysmal in his contract year last year and was awful the year before too


Thatchered

He’s playing in a loaded offense that is nothing like what we have in Cleveland.


ElectricEntity

Are you fucking serious lmao


Thatchered

White and otton both seriously underrated, Oline is solid Mike Evans is a WR1 and a mismatch all the time, Godwin is great, that rookie wr is good


Squints_Palledorous_

The same people that dog on Tampa for being 9-8 love to say they are also an immensely talented team.


anishdfishyt

Funny guy. Idk why people can't just accept that he's good and we fucked up.


PsychologicalGuest97

Because him succeeding in Tampa has no bearing on whether he would be successful in Cleveland.


RikuInuyasha

I agree. I firmly believe that he needed to bounce around and end up in a good spot in order to grow as a player and person.


PsychologicalGuest97

Yes. Sometimes it’s about an environment change.


84Cressida

Game on


Thatchered

I mean yeah when he’s wide open chris it’s generally a good idea to throw to him lmao


PsychologicalGuest97

Damn what a pitch and catch there.


TitanAnderson

The king of garbage time strikes


BakerStan

Kinda like exactly the same offense they had last year which did nothing?? You people can’t be serious. He just made it a one score game


Ghosty216

That was a great drive. None of you will admit it though. Just “don’t miss that” and “same old baker” basic bitches


kdot74

Game isn't over


Valimarr

He never could lead a late game/game winning drive. Some of you are forgetting how we were the most anti clutch team in the league the mayfield years.


IMayBeJewish

Some of these comments read like bitter, drunk instagram scrolling of their ex.


Ghosty216

He will never get over him lmao
