I am never a fan of running your yap when the offensive side of the ball was as dysfunctional at times as this one was this past season. Once he torched the Falcons and Stef, then the gloves could come off but for now, be focused on righting the wrongs from this past season.

And Joe Thomas can politely STFU. He's been the Browns talking a-hole for a while. Excellent HoF player but stay out of the drama.

 

Not me.  This team is actually woefully short of trash talkers. The team is way too soft. Wish just one player on the soft defense had at least 1/2 of Mayfield’s fire.

Setting the bar high.

There are times you sneak up on your opponent, crow after the victory - then there’s the Baker moments. Say what you’re going to do, pick a fight, then go and do it.

Blue collar all the way - and he fits the Tampa area just because he does this.

Dare slippery coaches, who baled on you and lost confidence in you and sold you for a bag of massages.

Fitting. Put ‘em on notice and force everyone into working to back it up. 

Perfect fit. Let’s go.

Now if baker can back up the smack talk

guy was pathetic in the final 6 game stretch 

He's 2-4 vs. Atlanta in Tampa Bay, and that was against Arthur Smith & Raheem Morris.  Stefanski is a far better HC (2x COTY) than both of those guys. Hopefully he will be better, but he may want to chill out on the shit talking until it happens.

 

Stefanski is garbage 

He's anal retentive, boring, uninspiring and was the players union lowest rated HC in the NFL by his own players.

He's dumb in the Red Zone and don't be surprised to see him throw 4 times and fail on 4th and goal

\His last speech to the team he was telling then how he's never lied to them,,, you should have seen Myles Garret roll his eyes and look at a friend

Baker seems like a guy who needs a slight to hit top motivation so I don't mind it. Definitely easier (and maybe smarter) to trash talk after a win but at this point the "season is lost" anyway so why not go out guns blazing!

my perception of him changed when we needed to literally secure 2 wins in the remaining 5 games (NO, ATL, CAR X, MIA) and we only mustered up the final week heavily supported by favorable calls our way, a 2 point victory.

If he couldn't get "motivated" for that, the guy is a loser.

I was once a Baker Bro, and he can win me back, but he is certainly not held in the same view.  He needs to earn that back.

Fair to call out the record...but I don't recall him or the offense being an issue in almost any of those games against Atlanta (Maybe one game in 2023?). 

 

I mean just the last falcons game was blow because of a baker INT

sure defense was ass but if he wasn’t so pathetic as to just throw a 6 yard completion instead of a turnover, we win that game 

Baker needs to work on himself this offseason because 2025 baker was mediocre and cost us some games 

 

We lost because the defense gave up a 3th 28 and a 4rd and 14. 14 point lead in the fourth quarter. The INT didnt put them in our own red zone.

"pathetic" is a really strong word.

That's a good call. Give me the list of "garbage" NFL Head Coaches that won NFL Coach of the Year twice. And then follow that long list up with the even longer list of Head Coaches that have won 11 games with a dogshit Cleveland Brown franchise.

the INT prevented Bucs from kicking a field goal. 

defense collapse certainly key to Bucs downfall but that INT and bakers basically 8 tds to 6 INTs in the easy 6 game stretch was disappointing at best

Its fair criticism of Baker. He threw picks to close out too many games last season. Personally, it’s between a bad playcaller and an injured QB - but the facts are real. Too much of our early victories were 3rd & 4th down hero conversions by Mayfield. The Bucs escaped and began relying on Baker solving our problems sustaining drives. 

I don’t like excusing losses because of injuries, Chargers had some similar o-line injuries, but kept winning. I do think that the lack of playcalling prowess likely exposed Baker to contact that limited his abilities later in the season. However, the point is valid - refusing to acknowledge Baker’s suckage in those last 6 to 7 games - excuses too much. We all saw him exhibit bad habits in those games. 

He’s going to have to prove to us he can overcome it. I think the organization has given him all the tools to do this, hired a coach that runs an offense that compliments his ability - but it’s no longer a given. Hope that’s a big enough chip on Baker’s shoulder. We all want him to knock it off.

Until he does, I’m not buying into any hype.

About 4 years too late. We're sticking up for Stefanski now?

I’m acknowledging reality. He could have got in the mud with Mayfield, but he didn’t.

He didn't, but he's the HC you'd expect that type of response because his words are the organization's words. I think it was a question form a reporter at a press conference? Maybe not

 

Mayfield was responding on social media, I thought?
