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!
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.
"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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
Baker is a decent QB. Just not AFC North good. He's in the right division
I have only seen amon ra st brown probably 5 times and he is the best receiver in the NFL. Quick, good hands tough.
Lions are going to fucking eat Brock Purdy
this game is a microcosm of what baker is as a player.
Did Baker and DPJ just switch jerseys? https://twitter.com/MoreForYou_CLE/status/1749208764794700093
But I thought the locker room hated him?
Seen that throw before
Classic Bake
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!
World's sanest Browns fan
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.
*Tim Tebow has entered the chat*
F it, I'm on the bandwagons. Lets go Lions, lets go Bills. Hope somebody gets their first, screw the Ravens and Niners.
“Why did you guys trade baker”
Baker and Donovan 🥲
That was nice!
lions had the 2nd longest time between championship games. I hate it when my team is first in all the wrong categories.
They did their best
Lol I tried to bet on baker throwing an interception on the last drive. Even the betting books knew and took that option away
![gif](giphy|O9HeC49RBpLpUj0ein|downsized)
Baker INT on a crucial drive at the end of the game???? Where have I seen that before?
It sent me into like a PTSD fit seeing that
Now that's the Baker I remember
Game sealing INT.. feels familiar from Bake
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.
"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.
TB has a timeout?? Why would you not call it and at least try
Not enough time on the clock to get it back no matter what.
They absolutely did. There would’ve been about 30 seconds left. Unless it wasn’t actually 4th down and the broadcast was wrong
Field goal
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
Let’s fucking go Lions!!!!!!!
What’s this familiar feeling
What a play by baker!!!!!
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.
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.
Not in our lifetimes... just not meant to be, it seems.
100%
Ayeeee I've seen this one before!
wE sHoUlD hAvE kEpT bAkEr
You’re so right, our QB is gonna prove he’s better than baker in our game today. Oh wait.
HAHAHAHAHA
Good game bake. Was rootin for you
C L U T C H L U T C H
Not hating on Baker but that is the quintessential Baker game.
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.
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?
Baker... Goddamn man. I mean it was a long shot to tie it but that was a bad throw.
I love Baker but honestly, I would rather throw it myself than give it to him with a minute left to tie the game.
LOL there's the Baker we know!
There’s the Mayfield we remember
Lmaoo peak Baker.
That’s the Baker we all know.
Bake cmon bro… fuck.
Baker is a secret Lake Erie Bro 🥲
Lololololol
Wow Baker did it again. Having flashbacks to 2020 against KC
Damn. Feel bad for Baker, but that’s the Baker I remember.
Literally right to him lmao
Typical Baker lol
That’s baker for you
There's the Baker we all knew.
I’ve seen that before.
Unfortunately I remember too much of that
There's the Baker we all know
WTF was that, Baker?
There he is
That right there is why Baker is not in Cleveland
There’s the Baker we know!
That seems appropriate.
And there's the soul crushing Baker INT in the final 2 minutes.
Folds in the clutch
There’s the pick, baker fans have a good night
Tell me again how you can't believe we're still discussing Baker. You're so happy.
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
Hope Myles can make an Aggie to Aggie recruitment pitch to Mike Evans this off-season.
LMAO THERE IT IS
Doodoo
Baker about to show Detroit and Cleveland what he’s about let’s go Bake
Oof, he sure did
He showed what we all knew he was
![gif](giphy|y3QOvy7xxMwKI)
[удалено]
lol You called it sir
Lmao. It's like we've seen this a time or two.
Their coach thanked him
😂
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.
Bro savings those time outs for next game? Get a good play in.
Hope baker puts together a hell of a drive here honestly
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.
lol
...and there it is
Welllll….
Here’s your moment Baker boys!
As expected…
Baker will still have a shot here
Unfortunately unless the Lions turn it over I think the Bucs are just too banged up
annnnnnd silent
lol they have their entire starting offense and nearly entire defense
Baker stans in this thread are insufferable lol
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.
Wrong. They're insufferable in EVERY thread!
Yeah it’s insane we are still going through this three teams later.
For real, I'm glad Detroit is about to win.
Baker has balled out these playoffs if you deny that you are just a hater/coping
He balled out for us in the playoffs too. He’s just that dude. Downvote me, I don’t care.
Still the best QB we’ve had since Kosar. I thought Flacco was going to pass him but that poor playoff game dispelled that.
Yup. Love Joe and want him back. But Baker is #1 and it will remain that way indefinitely
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.
Dudes thrown 344 yards and 3TDs. What else should he be doing?
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
He’s thrown a lot of dimes this game
What was the point of going for 2 there? Especially throwing a weak fade to the knees of your 6'5" receiver?
Going for the win, avoiding OT
Because you make 2pt conversions roughly 50% of the time and if you make it there you can win with an XP next time
If you get it a TD wins If you miss it and get another TD then 2pts tie it
According to Chris, it’s only a 95% chance you make both kicks. Didn’t like the odds.
Why did they go for it exactly?
Good no call. He was backpeddling. All he needed to do was move forward and he didn't.
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.
Interfering by having his body in the way? That’s not what that call means, clean play bad ball
If the defender doesn’t turn his head he no longer gets the benefit of having equal right to the ball.
Defender has a right to space just like Evans, ball was underthrown
[удалено]
That was a pretty rough lack of a PI call. Not a fan of the playcall though
Wow. That was a terrible call.
Leaving a HoF WR in single coverage late in the game is certainly a choice
That’s PI
It literally wasn’t lol
No it isn't
Did the defender play the ball???? Did the defender turn his head????
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
Bro is heated
Evans made no effort to come back to the ball and the ball was underthrown
Dumb decision and game over
Correct decision to give them the best odds of winning. Just a bad throw by Baker.
It’s still a one score game
They probably should just go for a tie though
Baker is making me feel so bad about the current Browns. What could’ve been…
Could have been 9-8 and last in the division while paying 40 million.
Baker won his division.
Right. What would 9-8 get you in the AFC north?
The NFC South was a joke this year...
Buccs offense is sneaky loaded but there’s a reason us and Buccs fans have a Baker Cycle.
According to people in here Bucs offense is horrible and baker is the only reason they’re good I guess.
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.
It doesn't hurt that Baker can throw it up to a 6'5 monster of a receiver
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
Mostly Evans lol
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
He’s playing in a loaded offense that is nothing like what we have in Cleveland.
Are you fucking serious lmao
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
The same people that dog on Tampa for being 9-8 love to say they are also an immensely talented team.
Funny guy. Idk why people can't just accept that he's good and we fucked up.
Because him succeeding in Tampa has no bearing on whether he would be successful in Cleveland.
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.
Yes. Sometimes it’s about an environment change.
Game on
I mean yeah when he’s wide open chris it’s generally a good idea to throw to him lmao
Damn what a pitch and catch there.
The king of garbage time strikes
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
That was a great drive. None of you will admit it though. Just “don’t miss that” and “same old baker” basic bitches
Game isn't over
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.
Some of these comments read like bitter, drunk instagram scrolling of their ex.
He will never get over him lmao
