Here are five quick thoughts on the Browns’ 23-9 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday:

1) Another terrible job calling offensive plays by Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. Instead of turning to a decent running game, he made rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel throw so many passes that his arm nearly fell off. Plus, it put him into harm’s way. A middle school coach could’ve called a better game. You’ve got to throw the ball down the field or else the defense will not respect the deep part of the secondary. Instead, opponents will stack the box and make it almost impossible to get the pass off or to run the football.

2) Gabriel was off-target on some throws, and you can blame him for the completions on those. But at the same time, his receivers dropped way, way, way too many passes, so those incompletions are on them.
3) The offense was pathetic once again. There is no way you can win in the NFL when you cannot score points.
4) The special teams weren’t very good, either. I am wondering how they can continue to be this bad all the time. What do they do all week during practice?
5) Once again, the defense did a pretty good job. The unit was on the field for so much of the time that it will eventually break down. But for the most part, it more than held up its end of the bargain. If only the offense and the special teams did the same.
