    do you disagree? do you think that generally cleveland sports fans are level headed, rational, and intelligent?

    As much as any other city. I've lived in LA, DC, San Diego, NY, etc. Same talk goes on there.

    Can't judge a fan base by radio callers. Sports radio represents the worst of every fan base, and often aren't even fans. They're just fringe bitchers and trolls.

    The hosts just aim for controversy and the calls wait on hold for 45 minutes to rant nothing but stupidity that embarrasses everyone listening to it.

    Everyone watching football in their living rooms or with family or in the stadium love Tom Brady. The guy is like New England's long lost son, and when the Brady chant started during the Cinci game after all the media hits he took, it was really, really emotional. One of the most emotional moments I can remember watching football, and people I was watching the game with teared up a little bit. New Englanders would storm the gates for that man.

    Meanwhile, on talk radio, callers were saying he sucks and demanding he be traded so we can start Garoppolo.

    In my experience, sports-radio callers are night and freaking day from the real heart and soul of a fan base. That's been my experience and observation anyway.

    I think Cleveland has awesome fans.

    No no no no. I'm basing this off of actually living in cleveland, social media, and online message boards too. I honestly think it's safe to say we have the dumbest fans in the country. I love the passion all of NE ohio has for the city and it's teams, but we're not a very intelligent bunch. (Generally speaking)
  • nice way to talk about your fellow fans dipshit.

    i don't think cleveland sports fans are dumb, i think thery're restless and at the first hint of trouble they start looking for the next brian sipe or the next jim brown.

    people in the tavern we're talking about the cincy fans booing last night, meanwhile weren't the browns getting booed in their own stadium weeks ago?

    anyhoo, last night goes a long way to shut everyone up about the little elf who wishes he could play football for santa on xmas.

  • Starting off fast was huge, on defense then setting the tone by running the ball for that TD after the TO.

    Starting West was equally huge, Tate couldn't run on Iggy's JV team.

    Finally, run stop & secondary were lights out.

  • They simply overlooked us. Just like when we analyzed our schedule...this games a win, this is a loss etc. we were their "trap game"

    I highly doubt that.

  • the team as a whole played one of it's best games (if not the best) of the year. i had hoped they would come out and dominate from the get go and they did.

    weeks ago people were putting cincy in their discussion of AFC championship game. to say they just are bums isn't true. sure they had some losses in key places but we didn't?

    taylor made all the difference in the run stop game tonite for the browns IMO. and whatever fire was lit under the whole D squad should be kindled and saved for every game in the future. i'm sure our D ranking moved up significantly with this win.

    on paper the bengals are stacked compared to the browns, yet hoyer with his mish-mash unit of WRs/TEs looked sharp and shanny must have devised some type of offense to allow our OL to make the best of missing mack and excel with the run.

    good job by all.

    Damn mik if you keep this up you are going to develop a bad reputation for understatement.

    That's the most dominating game I have seen out of the Browns since Christ was a corporal in the Roman army. 🥷

    No, they simply got their asses handed to them by the better team in this particular game. Playing at home for first place in the division on national television and you're saying they "overlooked" a 5-3 opponent? Seriously?

    At what point do you see a 5-3 team on your schedule and think they are a 'trap game'? They didn't overlook us. The Browns just proved they are the better team. The Browns got up for this game. Joe Haden said they were treating it like a playoff game. They were hungrier. Did you see how the defensive line was coming off the ball? I hadn't seen that kind of pop from them all season long. If they play like this for the remaining game on our schedule, everyone one of them is a potential win.

  • Cincy can't afford to overlook anybody, they know the Browns

    always play tough.

    The Browns took them out of their game completely.

    Nice bulletin board material, Gregg OOPSlittle.

    And that is after a short week for the Browns.

  • Pettine and co. out-coached the Bengals. On a short week, it's all about focusing on the right things and getting your guys ready to play in 4 days. Give our team credit for being prepared ... and executing of course...

    To the OP... the difference on D is simply guys adjusting to the scheme. The difference between Horton and Pettine's 3-4 D is significant, and it took these guys a few games to adjust. Now that they have, this D looks GOOD!!

  • What I don't get is, how do we have any passing game at all without Gordon, Cameron and Hawkins? Hoyer must me the man! No reason Manziel should feel bad being on the bench.

    Hoyer is great at being non-discriminatory with the ball.

    One some scoring drives he ends up getting the ball to 8 targets.

    Tonight, looked like Benji was his favorite target in a skimp receiving group.

  • Did anyone else see Sheard completely annihilate Little on that last pick?

    I don't think your fans are dumb; they're just traumatized by years of losing.

    Funny things is that I've been watching your team and Hoyer since last year, and what's plainly obvious to me is that he's got it. He may not be "elite," but he's NFL-starter quality, certainly more so than Orton or Fitzpatrick or a dozen other guys (including Dalton). He's got an arm, makes good throws, and he doesn't panic in the pocket. That last part is the hardest for young QBs to pick up-- check out Weeden, he's decent when there's no pass rush, but as soon as a rusher comes within 3 feet of him he freaks out and throws a laser into row 50.

    A laser into row 50 would've been infinitely smarter than a lot of what we saw.

    Congrats on your win, btw. It blows my mind that some of your fans don't realize what you have in Hoyer.

    cleveland has the dumbest sports fan base in the country.. its embarrassing really. try listening to an hour of cleveland sports radio and hear the callers. go read up on what they're saying about the cavs on social media and message boards. we can win out and get the top spot in the AFC and still our fan base will be clamoring for manziel because " we wont be able to win int he playoffs with boring ol' hoyer!". it's nauseating

    If so, then you are a primary contributor to that statistic

    You are just making up stupid shit. No one is clamoring for Johnny. What is nauseating are boneheads like you complaining about other fans.
