  • Shout-out to Jo-Jo Natson.  He may be 'just a special teamer'... but he's a Pro...and knows what the rules of his profession are.  He saved us near 40 yards by getting himself out of bounds before touching that kick-off.  Smart play.  -  And he catches the punts!   (I've a knew appreciation for Jo-Jo)

    as man that was crazy I did not know that rule 

    side note: read where Hunt wanted back into the game and they held him out as a precaution so hopefully it is not to serious 

  • Anyone miss Walker or Harrison?

    not so much walker

    Pat unShurmer was 88x worse

    Forgot about 0-16 Hue ?  And plenty more since 1999 they're still in the playoff hunt with only 5 games to go.

    Show Stef some ? love.

    Lol no forgetting him. 

    I just think unShurmer was worse. Let the clock run out in Baltimore when we had 2 timeouts, & a 1st & goal at the 5 on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas ugh

  • I need to rephrase my previous post. They are not the worst coached team, but they sure are close to being the dumbest coaches

    Harrison you aren't going to miss in this particular kind of game.  It suits his strengths quite well.

    Walker? His lateral ability is suspect and his strength when something comes right at him is as well.  

    The rest of the defense played pretty damn good, especially in the turnover category.

    For all of you homosexuals that are going to bitch all week about HOW we won ...

    For the record, our offense only scored 17 points again.  

    They have a great kicker.  Down towards the middle of the goal posts every time, no matter how far.  Our guy kicks it right near one of the uprights, every time.  Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn't.  

  • This is why I believe the NFL is fixed up big only one by two when favored by two and a half and they cover the spread

  • The offense and defense and special teams  played with a ton of HEART.

    and, I'm still delighted the Browns traded ahead of the squealers and drafted Owusu-Koramorah.

    I said he was a special player, and to get him in the SECOND ROUND? priceless !

       The Browns WON !

    I don't know the specifics, but the DL landed with all his weight on Baker, no call? Just wondering about that one.

    And, I honestly had no idea about Natson's brilliant play - didn't know that rule. Love it.

    I hate that they let the ratibirds come back with a bunch of short throws. Andrews is too good a TE for that crap.

    ....and it was really disappointing that our FB was not looking at the onside kick attempt. bad move. Almost like the ratbirds planned it .....

    LOVE THE WIN !

    and, btw, Baker is no average qb.

  • Holy shit. I did not think they would pull that one off. Kudos to the defense.

    You mean Janovich... You must be thinking of Sam Jankovich LOL

    Yeah.  He was Yank-a-Dick on that onside kick.  

  • Have to give a nod to Denzel Ward.   Kid brought his A game and that last stick well short of the chains was textbook.

  • Great win, I had them splitting games with Baltimore so all's well even if it was a little hairy in the end. Now let's take care of business and seize the AFC North

  • Clowney and Takk had 4 and 5 pressures respectively.. Garrett had 4.  Haven't said McKinley's name much this season - hope he cranks it up for the next few games.

    They both had some good games early on, seemed to disappear for a stretch in the middle of the season, but played well recently.

    A game like this really reminds you of what we have in Ward when he's healthy. Hope we can keep him healthy for good long time. What's the status of extending him?

    I haven't heard anything regarding Ward getting extended. 

    He's so damn good, but has missed a decent amount of games in his career. Not a ton, mind you, but enough at times to make some wonder if you can depend on him to be on the field when you need him. I think the Browns extend him, though.

    The Baker extension is going to be interesting.

    Likely won't have to worry about that until next year.  5th year option on deck.

    Not sure, and I don't have Andrew Berry's number so I can't really text him to ask.
