what the hell? Did we turn a major corner or is Cincy closet bums?
-
Everyone that gets high on their horse before getting dominated by the Patriots just completely fall to pieces.
Houston showed up in 2012 wearing letterman jackets and they still haven't recovered from their ass whuppin'. I think the Patriots crushed Cinci's soul earlier in the season, and Cleveland curb stomped their skills inside out tonight as they tried to crawl out of their pretender hole.
You guys ripped Cinci's heart out tonight and destroyed their entire organization. Tomorrow the sharks will be circling the Bengals for another prime time beat down. The fans and maybe the team itself will turn on Dalton. The media is certainly going to brutalize him.The head coach probably lost his job tonight, even though he won't get a pink slip until the off season. On Thursday Night Football, the Cleveland Browns broke Cincinatti over its knee. Spine broken. Done. Finished. I do not think they will recover from this and will finish last in the AFC North. Season over. Team going to get blown up. Congratulations on the complete and long term annihilation of a rival organization,
Regardless of who the Bengals are or might have been, it's really the performance that matters. They're a talent stacked team and you gave them a straight up beat down in every phase of the game. A three and out defense, complimented by an effecient offense, great throws by Hoyer, and a swarming special teams.
To me you looked like a solid post season team.
Given the Steelers knack for losing to bad teams, I think the Browns take the North this year and become a very dangerous post season under dog very capable of ending the dream of more likely contenders.
Hopefully you don't come here first.
Hoyer looked very Brady-like tonight attacking the middle of the field.
Texans are a guaranteed win. Ryan Mallett is pure garbage.
If Cleveland is dumb enough to let Hoyer walk this year, a lot of teams are going to jump at him, and with good reason.
Anyway, awesome to see the Browns ascending.
Pats v Browns AFC Championship game. Be there.

Everytime I think Marvin Lewis is going to get fired they give him a raise. I don't know how he has held his job for so long, but I don't mind.

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.
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. 🥷

I agree, it was nice to see Mugshot get off like that. That was last season form for him, we need him to get back to that big time.

The truth is both, that the Bengals aren't very good and that the Browns are turning out to be pretty good, while my Ravens have taken the vacant seat at the bottom of the division usually filled by Cleveland.
I stand by what I said a few weeks ago, final 6 weeks coming up will be crucial. That said, a win next week would be huge, because you guys could split the rest of your games after that and still be 10-6.
To be fair, you guys are benefiting from a injury plagued Bengals and Ravens team, and you also have a surging Steelers team to compete with. As the Ravens and Bengals get healthy, this is gonna be a wild finish for the division, and the 1 wildcard spot not filled by an AFC West team.
Do you suppose we are benefiting from missing three Pro-Bowlers on our offense, too? So to be fair, we are still winning despite missing Alex Mack, Josh Gordon, and Jordan Cameron. Not to mention our d-line has also been injured. I don't remember the last time we had all three starters at the same time. Oh yeah, and our leading receiver was out last night, too.
Everyone gets injured. The Browns are showing they can play through that adversity.

Those teams are no more injury riddled than the Browns. The Browns are down 2 First Team All Pros: Mack and Gordon. Plus Pro Bowler Cameron....plus several other quality player game losses.
Sure, we get Gordon back after another game.
How many All Pros and Pro Bowlers did the Ravens and Bengals lose?
and you also have a surging Steelers team to compete with.
No, we don't, not really. We are done playing them. They are now the concern of the Bengals mostly as they are the ones with 2 games left

You seen how many people have been in and out of our roster? And one of our guys who hasn't as of yet missed a game, needed an epidural in his back the other week just to play. Our front 7 has been dinged the whole season, we saw Taylor limp off the field again yesterday so who knows what's going on with that. Armonty is obviously out the whole season....so yeah, we're as banged up as anybody in the NFL.

Right? Mack on IR, Armonty Bryant on IR, John Hughes on IR/Designated to return, Backup LB/Special teamer Darius Eubank on IR
Gordon on Suspended list all year.
Phil Taylor out for a while. That is 3 DL there....and who else?

Taylor limped off the field last night because he looked like he just finished eating pre-injury phil taylor.

Jimmy Smith, Dennis Pitta, didn't have Daniels for the Bengals game, left side of offensive line been shuffling in and out. Bengals have been without Green for many of their losses, and he still doesn't appear to be 100%.
Don't misunderstand me, not trying to take away credit. Browns deserve their record. they have done a better job handling the injuries than we have.
and you also have a surging Steelers team to compete with.
No, we don't, not really. We are done playing them. They are now the concern of the Bengals mostly as they are the ones with 2 games left
Compete in the sense of who wins the division, not head to head.

The browns aren't injury plagued? It's week 10 everybody's banged up. We're missing 3 offensive pro bowlers and have battled with defensive line injuries all year.
It's not easy coming into a losing franchise and changing the culture. Looks like Farmer and Pettine are succeeding though, hats off to them.
And I agree with neon deion about hoyer, pay the man!
Yes, the Browns have injuries. Everyone has injuries. I agree.
Browns are in prime position to take the division, it helps that they are playing well in spite of injuries while the Ravens and Bengals struggle with theirs.

Roller coaster ride with Lewis. I don't think he's a terrible coach, but I do think he has a tendency to lose his teams when the going gets a little tough. Bottom line I don't think Dalton's play last night was a result of poor coaching and the game go so out of hand because Dalton really was that bad last night. The only QB to have a worse QBR in recent memory is Eli Manning his rookie year were he nabbed a perfect zero and we've all seen the ups and downs of Eli Manning.

I don't think he's a bad coach, but he's definitely on his last leg. He can't get that team prepared for games that matter. They were a big favorite in their last playoff game against an inferior SD team and laid an egg yet again.

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

You need to realize how damaged most Cleveland sports fans are. Lots of bad memories destroys brain cells.No excuse I suppose, but its a factor.

I don't think Mike Brown works that way. If Lewis was ever going to be on his last leg that would have happened years ago IMO. He's had some serious up and downs. I'd place the game last night more on Dalton's absolutely pathetic play than on Lewis and his ability to coach. However Tom Coughlin is in a similar position in New York so you may be right. I'm sure his seat is getting warm but I don't believe his job is in danger, not yet.

As someone else already mentioned that type of fandom exists everywhere. Everyone would really understand if you could tune in to Pittsburgh sports radio when they were losing. Callers can and often are absolutely ridiculous and the reality is that type of polarizing position exists in the most passionate fan bases. Crazy fans exist everywhere.

I don't what to make of this game. That was an ass beating we put on them. Play half that good throughout the season and we're 8-0. This team is odd. How was our line that freakin bad last week against Tampa but this week we all of a sudden looked like the 9'ers run blocking. The only time the o line irritated me tonight was when Greco whiffed on Atkins and he tackles Hoyer on his way to the handoff, never seen that tbh. But yeah other than that the line was blocking fools out of their shoes tonight. And defensively we stopped the run...holy fuck my ass running we stopped the fucking run. How the hell did that happen? Srsly I've been wanting an all-22 x's and o's on why we couldn't stop the run all season but now I want to know what we did different tonight. I saw Robertson got most of the ILB snaps next to Dansby tonight. Maybe they figured out he's a better run stopper than Kirksey? I want to say Taylor's return had something to do with it but he was there in the beginning of the season so who the fuck knows. But something clicked tonight that's for sure. This is the front seven we were all expecting at the start of the season.
The secondary though, holy hell this is looking like the best secondary in the NFL right now. Dude's are playing their asses off. I know Dalton eerily reminds me of another ginger we had here in Cleveland...but there were some good throws he made to Green tonight that Haden shut down...skrine too. These guys are clicking huge.
Side note, Sheard looked like he had one of his best games this season. Looked better than Kruger tonight and I thought Kruger had another solid but not terribly great game. Even Mingo looked stout setting the edge tonight. Still think we need to get Kruger and Sheards hands down way more, and at the same time. I see them both put their hands down than stand up....and still rush. What's the point to that? They know you're coming. Why does our DC have them do that if down and distance make it an obvious rushing down?

May be before your time, but why did Tom Landry have his Offensive Line raise up and reset every time (essentially cocking the Offense)?
Could be something similar going on here with that.
