Man, that's crazy. Didn't we just barely squeak into the playoffs by beating Pit the last week?

A deep playoff field that year, and losing to the Jets in Week 16 because COVID snatched up all our receivers less than 24 hours before kickoff made things more difficult than they needed to be.

Patient offense, nothing bold, safe and smart throws. Playing field position and grinding things down.
So far, can't complain.

Only so much you can do against 9 man fronts.
Steeler defense Sunday in a nutshell... Allow me to quote a Ghoolieism....
CLASSIC MARTY TURTLE BALL.... HEY, SHITPANSKI, WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY AT LEAST ONE LONG BOMB TO KEEP THE STEELERS (DECIMATED SECONDARY) DEFENSE FROM SITTING ON THOSE DINK AND DUNK ROUTES THAT YOU WERE CALLING ALL DAY? HMMM? YOU'RE LUCKY AS HELL NONE OF THOSE OUT ROUTES DIDN'T TURN INTO A GAME KILLING PICK SIX.
Yeah, I'm way glad we won, but that was shitty play calling MHO. ?
You're probably not wrong. But we're going to come from behind in this game if we win and DTR can't do that. I can promise you everything I own, there's absolutely no way DTR can lead us to victory against the Steelers in the 4th quarter. PJ at least has done it against other teams, despite being lucky.
LOL, I hope no one took you up on that bet.
Four for four on the game winner.

Holy shit, what a game to be at!
I haven't looked through the game thread but I have to ask, how the hell was that first quarter sack on Pickett not a safety? It happened right in front of us, and even on the replay it seemed like he was definitely in the endzone. Hell, the following play looked like it might have been close to being a safety too(?)

They(announcers) said he wasn't in the end zone when Garret made contact, but retracted after they said the ball was in fact in the end zone at the time. In other words, no one has any idea how that wasn't a safety.
The announcers were very annoying the entire game.

Was it the plays or was it DTR not looking at the downfield options, retrospect in the tape will tell I guess

At the game, it seemed like DTR was very reluctant to hold on to the ball very long. I think it was drilled into his head to make a read and hit the safety valve if needed, and boy, that he did. He didn't take many sacks, but he probably sacrificed the ability to go downfield numerous times. The offense was, well, offensive to watch for about 2 and a half quarters. Really got bogged down.
That and I'm pretty sure Njoku dropped like five balls today. Rough day for him.

Can't believe you were there. What a game! Kevin didn't give a great answer on why he didn't challenge. I think he said he threw the flag but ref didn't see it? I dunno, it was rather embarrassing. But whatever, we beat Baltimore and Pittsburgh back to back. I can't really remember ever doing that.

This will be hard to believe, but there's Browns fans on this board who seem happier when they lose.
It's crazy, but it's absolutely true.

It was beautiful!

A Cleveland BROWNS fan-tastic finish to remember -or- why we do this on The BROWNS BOARD for every BROWNS fan everywhere.

Oh one thing that I wished most of you could have experienced...
After the Browns defense was announced, Nick Chubb came out of the tunnel on crutches and was announced. I thought the crowd was going to blow the roof off.
Then they had Jim Donovan on the field to smash the guitar.
At that moment, I could have ran through a fucking brick wall.

OMG !!! What an absolute amazing Cleveland BROWNS Game to go to. Incredible ! One to remember for a long, long time.
It was amazing no matter where on earth you were. The 11/19/2023 game. CLE 13-10 finish one.
CLE 7-3. it just goes on and on.

I think we get the luxury again of learning from a loss, and that's extremely powerful. People are buying in, they're starting to believe, and they know it's going to be a slog. All of the sudden, the Broncos game looks tough, the Texans game looks very difficult, and you've got to figure out a way to get some more victories.
Up 10-0, it very much felt to me like we were trying to not hand the game over on offense like we did the first time. I was ok doing that up 10, but we HAVE to find ways of generating SOME explosives, we just have to.
Now, to be fair, not every team is Pittsburgh. I told my buddy it seemed like we were playing Techmo Bowl and the Steelers perpetually kept guessing our play. I'm not being negative, just stating facts here. We could not run the ball, we could not attack intermediate areas of the field, or much across the middle other than a slant or two. Virtually every pass was to the outside and was about a yard or two down the field. DTR's average depth of target was 3 yards and the NFL average is 6. It worked today, but I don't think many people are thrilled with the lack of attacking attempts.
Again, not every team is Pittsburgh, so the run game will likely be better, the compressed style of defense won't be as severe, and you won't have Highsmith and Watt bearing down on you. Broncos are 32nd in DBOA defense, a major stat. That's MUCH better than Pittsburgh, I'll tell you THAT. I thoroughly believe Browns were SO scared of the edge rushers that they just were NOT going jeopardize the tiny lead or tie game status. They were bound and determined to make the Steelers' offense beat them, and they couldn't.
LFG people.
