The Cleveland Browns lost a tight one to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1.
With the final score of 33-29, the Browns were leading the majority of the game before the Chiefs elevated their level of play and the Browns made costly mistakes.
All of this spells heartbreak for a city that is super optimistic about its team’s chances in 2021.
However, it is only Week 1, and Emily Mayfield is here to remind all of us to keep calm and stay the course.
It is a long 17 game season, and this is just 1 game of it.
Painful as the loss is, her perspective provides comfort with just a few words.
We’ll be just fine… 🤍🧡🏈

Plenty of fans agreed and supported her.
Baker played good. I don’t care what people say. I ride and die with #6#RideAndDieWith6#Dan6erous

Emily Mayfield Is Right
Before everyone gets too excited, it is important to put it in perspective.
Yes, the Browns made mistakes, and they were costly.
However, they did a lot of things very well.
You can bet that Coach Stefanski already has created a list of items he wants to work on this week in practice.
It is how they pick themselves up from this and move on that will dictate what happens this season.
Onto Week 2
This loss can sting for a few hours before work begins to prepare for the Houston Texans in Week 2.
The Texans, with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback, schooled Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Trevor Lawrence today.
Houston is 1-0 after beating the Jags by a score of 37-21.
As Emily Mayfield suggests, all will be fine.
It is time to shift gears and focus on the task ahead.
Beating the Texans now becomes the top priority.
Of course, everyone wanted a big statement win over the Chiefs today, but it was not to be.
Nearly everyone who predicted the outcome of this game picked the Chiefs over the Browns so it is not a shocking loss in the scheme of things.
Let’s move on.
I think baker did a wonderful job however the front line offensive and the whole defensive squad sure walks alot instead of running after ball carriers and the backfield and offense needs to protect and hit someone and keep active all the time not part of the time. And defense needs to tackle that is why it is called tackle football
Baker did great but was sacked several times where was his team when he needed them?
Baker Baker the letdown maker
Love you in Toledo Baker, Great Game 1, you were right on the money. We are with you every week, stay strong, block out the negative Nancy’s.
Other than Brady and mahomes
I’ll take baker over any one else
Mrs. Mayfield, your husband played fantastic!!!!!!!! & So did the rest of the team.
It a loss all right; but, we the browns nation, can hopefully get a win at home next week.
Stay safe.
Brown’s suck, Mayfield sucks, the defense sucks, can,t hold a lead, same oh Cleveland browns!
And you suck
They played good enough to win , but the costly mistake’s hurt them .
Move on troll!
You suck
You swallow
Negativity will get you NO WHERE! GO BROWNS!!
watch another team if you don’t like cleveland! the browns have the right coach and the right players and they will be fine. they had some incredible games last year and will this year as well. playoffs bound!
A couple of miscues and it cost us. The browns went toe to toe with a great team. They showed me a lot. So I’m not worried at all. It’s a long season people, they got this, so relax and enjoy.
CANT wait to see the game next week! Great offensive half and a couple of costly errands—- also LOVE to see the commercials— so entertaining 🤣
I am 82 years young. I knew Paul Brown (who was from Massillon,OH). My father graduated with Paul from Massillon High in 1926. I believe Paul Brown would say- keep focused, play like you are a winner, and play well even if you are losing!!! Losers are people who have come up short by making mistakes. Winners never make those mistakes more than once.
A female fan.
Our boys looked good… keep the faith. Baker was fabulous
It wasn’t Mayfield’s fault that the browns lost the game. Just think if it wasn’t for the fumble, the blocked punt, and the browns defensive back field that let the Kansas city receivers wide open the whole game. Also forgot the missed coverage on hills 75 yard pass for a touch down. So over all baker played a great game. If it wasn’t for the 4 reasons I just talked about, browns would have won.
We are the Brown’s Nation. Baker is our Quarterback and a great one. I for one believe in our Brown’s!
I know Mahomes is good but browns can’t figure out how to stop him or Kelcie. Browns defense coach had a year to figure it out. If he can’t, I say Berry and co. Need to find somebody who can. It was evident that Bienemy
Out coached woods badly.
I think that Browns did good but were disappointed at the same usual results; To many mistakes as usualBriwbs
Baker is our man they will get it done we need to chill out and be proud of them. Go Browns
That will be our toughest game all year. Mayfield is a beast. Prayers to Jed Wills. With God, nothing is impossible. I’ve watched the browns for 35 years and this team is something special this year. Baker is a leader in all aspects of the word. See you in January, Kansas City. Bye for now.
