  • I lost it on Metcalf's second punt return. Lost it.

    I will always remember where I was, who I was with ... I'd have to say that is most memorable favorite.

    But there are tons of others ...

    The ones already posted ...

    Mack trucking the Oilers,

    Metcalf faking a bungle out his jock.

    I remember a Greg Pruitt zig zag TD against chiefs.

    Webster Slaughter streaking down sideline in orange shoes v. Bears on MNF.

    Brian Brennan TD in AFC championship in the Drive game.

    Erin Turner stopping Jay Novacek dead in his tracks yo preserve a win late season 94.

    Many more .... I will post some of them when I get a chance ...

    I was around 11 years old when I remember Eric turner laid the wood on Novacek. That in my mind was a defining moment on who I was going to root for, for the rest of my life. Also RIP Mr. Eric Turner.

  • This video is crap but it summs up the reaction to my favourite play. My first game in Cleveland having been a Browns fan overseas since 1989, Phil "automatic" Dawson kicking the winning filed goal in OT Vs Seahawks November 4th 2007.

    I have not seen the Browns win in person since that date despite 5 more trips over the pond since then - there's always this year!

    That's one more win than I've seen. The win I saw in person was November of 2000 against the Patriots. Doug Pederson was our starting QB.

    This year we will see a win together - no doubt

  • I've got to find the video of Earl Little jumping in to my arms ...

    You have a good memory! I can't remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday.

    One I loved that hasn't been mentioned.

    The goal line stand against Atlanta Dec. 2002. The final game of the season to get us to 9-7 and earn us our only playoff appearance since the return. I was at that game with incredible seats. That place was rocking!

  • While all of my favorite plays have pretty much been posted I would like to add my favorite game.

    Sept. 11th 1989 Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh

    Or the snow bowl Cleveland vs. Buffalo

  • Not a single play, but about a half of a quarter:

    No doubt is was great...I was lucky enough to see it live. Cussing to going crazy in about 10 seconds.

    I can't find a vid, but the best play I think happened in Nashville....Dawson kicked a onside kick the other way.....I want to say Webster Slaughter caught it, but he wasn't on the team then....a great play....we scored a bunch of points in the final minutes to win the game.

    Who was that receiver.....forgive me...I just got back from the first phase of a root canal....the pain meds and alcohol are starting to kick in.

    I'm thinking it was Andre Davis. If not def. a wr

  • Couple come to mind. Dawson recovering his own onside. Record 99 yrd td pass against eagles Garcia to Davis. Or greens run against the falcons.

    Im pretty sure it was Northcutt.

  • I could never pick just one as my favorite play.

    I remember quite a few Greg Pruitt runs when I was a kid in the old stadium.

    Brennans TD against the Broncos in the playoffs.

    Metcalf's two punt return TD's. I (like Zombo) can remember exactly where I was and who I was watching with when it happened.

    Couch to KJ for our first win in 1999 on Halloween. I will never forget watching that one because I didn't see the game live but watched it that night not knowing anything that had happened. My wife watched the game and didn't give away anything, just sat there watching the game again with me in silence waiting to see my response when KJ catches that pass.

    I'll add one from last season. D'Qwell Jackson's INT return for a TD on opening day last season.

    KJ was the man.

    The video of the play is on the first page.

  • -two deep ball plays by Couch obvi

    -the 2007 browns bengals game 51-45

    -the 2009 browns chiefs game with cribbs/harrison setting records

    -hillis leaping over dudes

    -braylon had some amazing catches in his short prime

    -phil dawsons overtime kick that bounced on the middle post and was counted good

  • My favorite Browns play is the last one they ran. Keep em coming!

  • I was at this game freezing my balls off. I was too young to drink at the time but I remember the guys beer in front of me freezing before my eyes. Then it went into OT. 1989 Browns vs. Vikings, Mike Pagel to Van Waiters fake field goal in OT.
