    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.  ?

    LOL, I hope no one took you up on that bet.   😁   Four for four on the game winner.  

    Totally agree.. Kevin almost lost the game for us...

    Only Cleveland fans will bitch about one of the best coaches in the league.

  • 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(?)

    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.

    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. 

  • Question for the geezers here. When is the last time the Browns were 7-3?

    During the Baker Mayfield  long  era in Cleveland ....  I believe.  Before that I will have to look it up.

    ......  edit add  .....  CLE 7-3 list.

    When was the last time the Cleveland Browns started the season 7-3?

    The last time the Cleveland Browns started the season 7-3 was in the 2020 season, after a 22-17 win over the Eagles. The Browns finished the season 11-5 and eventually lost in the Divisional Round in the playoffs.

    How many times have the Cleveland Browns started the season 7-3?

    The Cleveland Browns have started the season 7-3 a total of 12 times, in the 1952, 1961, 1963, 1966, 1968, 1972, 1979-1980, 1986-1987, 1989 and 2020 seasons.  <--●  NOTE 1 :  NOT in the 1964 Championship year.

    How often have the Cleveland Browns made the playoffs after starting 7-3?

    Out of the 12 times the Cleveland Browns started the season 7-3, they went on to make the playoffs 8 times, or 66.7% of the time.  <--●  NOTE 2 :  2/3 making the playoffs is skewed because in the  1960s  fewer teams made the playoffs.  NO Wild Cards, etc, were even available to those teams.

  • Today is a great day. The Browns are 7-3 and beat the Steelers with a game winning drive by a 5th round rookie quarterback. A defensive that is dominant and a kicker who can kick.

    Oh and Myles Garrett >>>>>>>> TJ Watt. Miles is the best pass rusher in the league.

    And any team foolish enough to allow a one on one against him always pays a price, seemingly at a key point in the game.

    Why did we call TO with 20 seconds left?  Why didn't we just run it down to 3 seconds and kick the FG? 

    They wanted to place the ball on the other hash for D hop. 

    @tiamat63 said:

    But they had already ran the ball and got it placed on the other hash. They could have just stayed in the huddle for the next 17 seconds and called a timeout at 3 seconds and kicked from there. Instead we run to get it on the hash and then call a timeout with 20 seconds left leading to the cluster fuck of getting that spike off after running again. Also in the scenario tomlin could have used his last timeout after the 2nd run (about 16 seconds left) and made it so we either have to kick the on 3rd down with 16 seconds left or risk running a play on 3rd and potentially having to rush the fg unit out if we get tackled in the field of play short of it first. Stef (if he called the timeout) has done a good job coaching this year, but calling your last timeout with 20 seconds left on a running clock when you're already well in field goal range is 100% the wrong call

  • Great job by the Browns Defense!  ('cept for the one gaff)   They did everything but score points.  Well, ok, they actually DID score points but they didn't give them to us and we didn't request that they give them to us.

    DTR had another bad game.  The whole 2nd half he led his team backwards.  But damned if he didn't lead his team downfield for the winning FG at the end when it was all on the line.  Go figure.  Give him a game ball for that.  Some encouragement to take into next week.  Then sign somebody to replace him.  🙂 

    Why did we call TO with 20 seconds left?  Why didn't we just run it down to 3 seconds and kick the FG?   Instead of all the drama?  And another flag during the winning FG kick.  Are the refs trying to cause heart attacks?  

    Just a total gutsy win by the Browns Defense!

    Was truly a headscrather as to why you just dont let the running clock go down to 3 seconds before calling your last timeout since you had just got the ball on the left hash for your kicker and you were well in range.
