    Holy smokes, you really did!

    Crazy game.

    I was at a good friends gathering for the game, so I didn't log in here til now. 

    Certainly a bunch of positives, but the pre snap penalties drove me nuts. Good road win though.

    I'm going to scroll back & read these comments...woof

    I kind of looked at the beginning and the end of the comments, but I can imagine the rest... ?

    Sloppy, ugly win, but hey, we're Browns fans. 

    We are never in any position to be picky. ?

    Eh, well see. I did see improvement today

  • Taped the game and just finished it, much better performance than last week in all facets of the game. Offense under Watson still doesn't look as smooth as Flacco but let's see how the season progresses. Great win, Go Browns!

    I liken it to my natural abilities versus the natural abilities of my younger siblings. 

    It seems like I have to put 150 in to get 100 out, so I put 300 in to get 200 out.

    My sister can put 50 in and get 200 out, so she's content to only put 25 in to get 100 out.

    My brother can put 100 in to get 150 out, so he hammers and puts 200 in to get 300 out.

    It may be vague, but it just seems the Browns are so slow to make necessary changes, whether by ignorance or incompetence.

    Signed, an overachiever...

  • Ravens L, Bengals L - those are nice.

    Steeler fans will jump about being on top but we’ll see how they do against their first competent opponent next week.

  • Always good to win. Lack of discipline remains an issue. Playoffs? Possible,  but this team scares nobody.

    Hope next week is another improvement.

  • Grandson's 1st ever Little League game today.  Got his 1st ever hit his 2nd time up!!!  Walked 1st time up.  Was awarded the Game Ball after the win!  And then I find out the Browns won!   What a Day!  

    ...just finished watching the condensed version:   

    That guy, #58 Hicks, did he wear 58 in the preseason?  (I believe he didn't survive roster cuts)  If he was 58, he was all over the place during the preseason games.  Him and #51 Hall were two guys that were disruptive.  I kinda' like him.

    Wright's Safety was the deciding score as the final Hail Mary came within a whisker of winning the game....And all because our Offense, which had gotten into range of notching another FG on the board, decided to get 3 big penalties in a row (at least two holding calls in a row)...and had to punt.  

    WATSON UP THE MIDDLE for the TD.  Maan, I hate that.  Second and goal from the 1.  Your Three 1st round pick, quarter billion dollar QB who just had shoulder surgery...is who you're gonna make run the ball up the middle??   

    IMO, it's only a matter of time before Watson is hurt.  He runs and does not slide.  He's stretching things out for the extra yard, two or three.  (even though they were important yards)  -  Being without our LT hurts.  Jones at RT should be able to do a half decent job but having to play guys at LT that we only just signed to the PS a few days ago is a tough way to go.

    The Defense did a good job that went a long way towards today's win.  

    Hopkins did a good job nailing the FG's.....but stupidly crossed the 50 on a kick-off where we recovered a fumble.  

    Today was the first leg of a possible 4 game winning streak.

    First, awesome for your grandson!

    Second, I stepped out and missed the forced fumble that wasn't because of some weird penalty play. Explain to me what exactly the penalty on Hopkins was for?

    He crossed the 50 yard line before the ball hit the ground or was caught.  

  • @bob806 said:

    Well after last week's opener that featured major league prices for minor league football, I have no confidence.

    So that means Browns 15 Jax 13. Blocked punt out of end zone is the difference lol

    DING DING DING....I almost nailed it.

    I'm not quite sure why this matters but I'm sure there is some kind of reasoning behind this, maybe...

    The grandson hit, that’s cool. Where’d the hit go? Like if you were scoring it on a score card?

    I almost get the impression Watson has free reign to be as reckless as he wants to be. If he gets injured? It’s kinda like we’re anticipating that and have a contingency plan in place. But until then, if that’s what he needs to do to win football games then have at it.

    We don't want Hopkins involved anyway.  

    ...and the rest of the kicking team cant' run until it lands or is caught.   ( I did the ST Deep Dive a while back )

    To the Shortstop.  He got his glove on it to stop it, picked it up and threw...but my grandboy beat it out.  I was pitching wiffle ball to him last night and he was hitting it.  I told him that he would be fine in the game...but I was NOT expecting a hit in his first ever game.  He's 10 and playing with the 12 and under kids.
