what the hell? Did we turn a major corner or is Cincy closet bums?
-
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"
-
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?

Reading this made me vomit.
do you disagree? do you think that generally cleveland sports fans are level headed, rational, and intelligent?

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.

We took 5/6 past games.

Yes, you do, because your point is still invalid. Any team can beat any other team in the NFL. It has everything to do with who is more motivated to win. The Jags beat us because they were motivated on that particular Sunday, and we beat the Bengals because we were more motivated on this particular Thursday.

It's partly the system. Play-action creates wide open receivers, and Hoyer is good enough to execute the system. Props to Hoyer, though, he made some good passes in tight spaces.

I think the win was a combination of Browns starting to gel and Cinci just having a bad game (especially Dalton, wow). I'm sure the Bungles will be better prepared next time we play in Cleveland.

Look, im so pumped at our record, how awesome we played, how great everyone looked. All i was saying was responding to the original posters question. Dude, im a believer in the browns. I was saying they probably did a little overlooking when they saw us on the schedule. All teams do it. I think that enabled us to get on them and up early, and they didnt realize how good we really are. I dont want to argue with you man, we are in First FUCKING place!!!!!!!
