Confidence in teamwork can mean the difference between success and falling short of your desired end result at the end of a contest.
What I saw in the Cleveland game on Sunday was not a lack of determination on the part of the Cleveland players. The want to win is definitely there and can be seen in the efforts of the receivers and backs as well as the quarterback.
Extra efforts by players resulting in needed yardage happened over and over.
The quarterback scrambling and taking hits, happened too many times.
Scores were made but more Field Goals than touchdowns. First downs were fought for and made again and again but when the Browns got close to the end zone things fell apart.
The pocket when Mayfield is passing is collapsing too soon. Perspective could be something that comes with time and experience. Let's remember that there are a lot of new players and it takes time to work well together as a unit. I think the Browns will be fine going into the rest of the season. Holding it together and growing as a unit - perfecting plays and improving overall, as a team, is what to look for. Expectations. Outlook, positive.
Rest of the season. Next season. I look for greatness to come from this team.
Said it.
