I hope they're working somebody else out to handle punt catching. I know it's only been one game, but that DPJ trade hasn't done anything for us yet. Tillman is basically just running around out there and we fumbled away a punt.

Does anyone get the vibe that Randy Moss cursed him (Tillman) when he proclaimed him the best WR in the draft?

Well, that DPJ trade won’t do anything for us probably ever. We decided almost nothing (late 6th round pick in 2025) was better than renting DPJ for the rest of the year and getting nothing when he walks.
Though to be fair, DPJ was ass on punt returns this year too. If we’re rolling ford and hunt 95% of the carries maybe strong can be the punt guy.
as far as receivers go though, I’d rather have DPJ on the team.

I thought he had improved to 'ok' with punt catching. His first year they had him doing punt catching and it was a hair raising experience. My departed best friend in the world, Vikings fan, was a punt catcher. He told me once, I'm not a real good punt returner...but I make sure that I catch the ball. He never muffed a punt. And his team never put anybody else back there.

As a two way player at S and WR I fielded punts, but I had never experienced fielding an NFL level punt until I went with my friend who got drafted in the 2nd by the Colts to field punts for his roommate Steve O'Neal who now holds the NFL record for longest net punt at 98 yds. We were doing so for a scout from the Oilers who wanted to see O'Neal first hand. His punts were so high with so much hang time I never thought they'd ever come down, but when they did the velocity was like something I'd never experienced. They were damn hard to catch before the age of stick 'em or sticky gloves.

I liked DPJ too; but I'll cut Proche some slack just this 1 time since he had a pretty good first game with the Browns the week before. The Ravens were his old team so I think he was putting a lot more pressure on himself than he normally does.
Anyway, here's his week before vrs Arizona: fair catch, 5 yard return, 17 yard return, 12 yard return, 16 yard return negated by holding, 20 yard return negated by holding, 10 yard return, fair catch. He seemed pretty comfortable at it for a 1st performance on a new team. That's probably because he's an experienced guy at it.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I like him, too. Broke my heart to see that muffed punt, but so glad it didn't cost us. He has real speed and last week it felt like he was going to break one at any time. Also, did anyone else feel like the defender was too close? I mean, he was up in his grill. Is there a rule about that, or is that in college? Or did I make it up? Lol

Plain and Simple…We need to start fast Sunday. This makes Kenny Pickett a passer and increases the likelihood that Kevin runs the ball and doesn’t get this idea that slow developing downfield plays is the answer against their bookends considering the state of our bookend tackles.
If Kevin can call a better game and Deshaun can play a better game than what we witnessed in Week 2…we should win and barring a catastrophic collapse a win here should seal playoff football.

Someone might also have something to do with the comeback
Hopefully this may be a turning point for the 2023 season as long as the front line, running backs and the rest of the team can stay onboard. The (6-3) Cleveland BROWNS are in a good position in the
︎ AFCN ︎ to make a playoff run.
︎ YES, I said a playoff run as in that iconic Jim Mora ... "playoffs, playoffs" quote some 22 years ago. My how time flies on some things even like the still iconic "playoffs, playoffs" quote. Thank you Jim Mora, always "quoteable".

Wasn't Mora the same guy when asked about his teams execution said... "I'd be in favor of it?"

Glad you reminded me Jiggs. There is a rule about it. It's called kick catch interference and the return specialist needs to be given a yard to make the catch. I brought that up during the game in the game thread (this thread) The replay showed the guy that invaded his intimate space banged his knee against Proche's. For the flag happy officiating crew that couldn't wait to throw flags all day - I would have thought they would have been excited to throw that flag. Never did and it set the Rats up for easy points.

That was REALLY funny at the time Larry! Still is so thanks for the reminder. It was actually John McKay HC of the TB Bucs back when they were an expansion team and/or shortly thereafter. He coached USC before that.

It sure does feel like Buffalo's window of Super Bowl contention is shutting fast.
Josh Allen can't do it all himself, and he's starting to turn into a turnover machine. Two more interceptions so far tonight, a NFL leading 11 for the season. (Does have 19 touchdown passes though)

It got worse for Allen and the Bills later in that game. ? Buffalo still has the Eagles, Chiefs, and Cowboys on the schedule, as well as the finale against the Dolphins. 'Fins have a much easier time, their first remaining game against a team with a winning record doesn't come until week 16 against the Cowboys. Then it's Ravens and Bills.
FWIW, at this point it certainly looks like 10-7 will punch a ticket to the playoffs in the AFC, and even 9-8 might get you in.
Sorry Bill and New England regarding the playoffs- stick a fork in them, they're done. Vegas will give you 1,000:1 odds that they can run the table and get in at 9-8. ?

See my above post... Browns also got some good news regarding Denzel Ward. Neck strain, and not the much feared concussion. FWIW, the Browns forwarded the tape of that hit to the League office, and I won't be shocked if a fine is forthcoming on the Ravens for the helmet to helmet hit.

Thank you for that. That's something that I didn't see in highlights. I was in Disney at Animal Kingdom with Mrs. Wife, daughter and the two Grandboys. All I could do was check the score periodically. A glorious day!

No problem. I was also worried about replacing DPJ's reliability with fielding punts. This guy looks pretty good though.
