The Official Browns at Buccaneers Game 2 Thread
-
Man I was fully expecting to give up the game winning td after the long rain delay. Credit to the defense today for bouncing back after that atrocious showing last week. Also credit to watson for playing probably his best game as a brown (not that it is hard to surpass) in the face of all the discussion about him being benched. He really only threw short passes and used his legs really well. I would like to see more stretching the field but as long as the chains keep moving I'm happy. Lastly denzel Boston is a stud.

How βbout them Brownies?
I spent the bulk of the game cleaning out the garage and took a monster nap during the 4th quarter thanks to the delay. Woke up just in time to hear the last defensive stop. Hats off fellas.
The new Browns radio crew sound better than last year, theyβre really improving, but l still miss Jim Donovan.
This oneβs for you Jim.

Yessir. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Celebrate the W today - get back to work tomorrow.
Always nice to start out the week in the win column!

Hickman & Delpit each had a sack. There's no Myles Garrett, so you've got to try and create sacks. Graham had a crap luck sack.
Here he is, going in the wrong direction....but he gets the sack
This was a delightful win.
We can't run. There's no holes. But the D played better. Which kept us in the game. And our QB position played better...actually bringing the offense down the field for the go ahead TD late in the 4th quarter. Go figure.
It was good to see improvement over last week. Some will say, Well THAT was a low bar! Which it was, but we had absolutely NO reason to think we'd do any better. So, it really is quite a nice step forward. Now, we need the OL to play better. Perhaps DeWand Jones at RT might help??

On defense, I expect more man coverage with some zone sprinkled in. Got to mix in some well timed blitzes to throw Baker off his game. It would be great to get in Mayfieldβs head.
they just have to be far more aggressive - or it may be a longer day than vs the Jags. The offense wasn't watchable, they need to go ahead and put Sanders in.

"No. 32: Deshaun Watson - Cleveland Browns
As long as Watson is starting for the Browns, Cleveland will struggle. Watson delivered yet another poor performance that resulted in the Browns being completely blown out in Week 1. We will see how long he has the privilege of starting."

Honestly. I can not blame any fans for losing faith. Iβm not sure why or how I have so much. Enjoy this glorious W.
I know I am.

This buys Watson another start for sure. He played well enough today and the D helped him more than the 1st game.

I ripped this team up and down this week leading up to this game, hoping against hope that I would look like an idiot and they would pull out an improbable win. I didn't really think it was a possibility.
Hats off to the entire team. I can't believe I'm fucking writing this, but hats off to Watson for actually looking like a competent starting QB, even if for just a day.
Hats off to the defense for playing well after a horrible opener. Hats off to Monken for getting his first win.
And condolences to the people on here who so desperately were hoping for Baker and the Bucs to annihilate the Browns today and who were not able to come on here and be insufferable twats. Maybe he'll actually pull off beating the Browns four years from now when he plays them again. A third time's a charm, right?

I can't believe I'm writing this:
He actually deserves to start next week. Nothing I think about him personally or long-term has changed, but on the field, he played well.

Wow, so I was in a bowling tournament in Cincinnati, so I didn't see the game ( recorded it as usual). Listened on the radio driving home, I was worried about the weather delay ( remember the 2016 World Series?).
Sounds like a good team win to me.
I had predicted a Browns win here before the season, but after last week, I didn't think it would happen. GLAD they won.
Go Browns!!!

Well, I'm shocked, I say. Watson looked like a semi competent starting NFL QB. And the defense played very well. Watson bought himself another start, but he will never be loved in Browns fandom. Play like crap this coming Sunday expect a chorus of boos.

If the O-line had given him decent protection, especially in the first half, this may even have been a comfortable win.

He also threw an absolute dime to Boston in the endzone in the third quarter that the defender made a great play to knock the ball out on a fade pass

I'm happy that we beat Tampa Bay. I'm happy that Baker didn't throw for 400 yards & 4TD's. This way we don't have to put up with the Baker Bro Talking Heads, or The Baker Bro Browns Fans, or the Watson Hater Browns Fans / Talking Heads. We don't have to listen to any of that bull-shit. We can instead enjoy a win and look towards the home opener with just the slightest bit of hope.
I'd like to see our OL improve / gel / whatever, so that Judkins can have a nice game and get some love. I swear that he's a good RB that just does not get the kind of OLine help that other RB's are getting.

Hereβs the highlights.
Watson was downright terrific today. More please.
The TD by Boston was the stuff of legend. He bounced 3 would be defenders on the way to the end zone.
How about Denzel Ward? Too soon to talk HOF? No one even throws his way, and they got him sprinting off the edge on opposing field goal tries now? Hats off Denzel.
I only got to watch the highlights, but our center looked good. Elgton Jenkins, but itβs Mr. Jenkins to you.
Szmyt might be the first kicker l have confidence in after 1+ years on the team. Iβll admit l had a crush on Hopkins for a minute. The mighty Phil Dawson is the gold standard.
Bahr and Stover get big love. Lou Groza too, before my time.

Watson played well today.. He had one great game against the Rats in the past.. But consistency will be key going forward.. Next week we play the Panthers here at home and they just absolutely drubbed the Falcons who are 0-2.. 34-3. Let's see if Mr. Rub n Tugs can do it twice... Because I think next weeks defense (Carolina) will be a little tougher and more disciplined..

I'll slightly disagee with "we can't run" - only because there were a few good runs by Judkins mixed into the frustrating inconsistency otherwise. I like your idea of considering Dawand Jones at RT if struggles continue off-tackle/outside (never thought I'd say this til he showed up in shape this year). Having said that, my memory of how he did in the pre-season eludes me. ANOTHER thought is giving the better athlete (Barber) the RT job and remembering Tytus Howard started games at OG and OT for Houston so that could be a more suitable niche for the former 1st round pick as depicted in cut and paste.
