Browns vs. Bengals: 3 takeaways from the demoralizing loss

Any hype surrounding the possibility of Robert Griffin III leading the Browns to a victory this season was destroyed early in Sunday’s loss.

The most memorable play from the game came when Hue Jackson dialed up a flea flicker from the Browns’ own 2-yard line, which resulted in Griffin throwing into triple coverage for an interception. The play call was questionable, but the execution was downright embarrassing.

Like Josh McCown, Griffin tries to make big plays out of nothing, ruining any hope of actually winning a game. He finished with 104 passing yards on the day, and rushed for 31 and a touchdown.

The total yards from Griffin is not main problem, as the weather was tough to play in, but he just didn’t look good at all. Weather aside, he missed several easy throws, throwing some short passes at the feet of receivers who looked confused as to what happened on such an easy throw.

Hue Jackson now has to decide if he will stick with Griffin moving forward, as he is still committed to trying to find the right man to pick up a single victory this year.

But no matter if Griffin plays or not, it doesn’t look like he will have a legitimate shot to be the starter next season.
