  • I don't want this thread getting buried. There was so much that was done right yesterday, with a swarming D that did absolutely everything it could (except the 4th down goal-line stand) to win us the game, and looks a player or two away from becoming truly elite. And, an actual punt return! Mingo's best game ever - I particularly liked that on his sack, he tried to knock the ball out first, couldn't but then wrapped up (sort of) and got the sack. Two picks and a sack from Leonhard. Craig Robertson looks a lot less like the guy that got picked on last season, and a lot more like a legit ILB.

  • Secondary keeps getting better, and that is scary. With Gilbert making a play and gaining some confidence, it only adds to the depth back there. Skrine and Gipson are FAs this off-season, and I think they both need to be re-signed.

    Haden / Skrine / K.Williams / Gilbert

    Gipson / Whitner / Leonhard

    Add a true NT and a pass rusher and this defense will be over-the-top good.

    However, it won't matter if they can't improve on offense...

    Taking the good out of a loss sucks.

    It sure does BB. Pissing away a rare and stellar defensive performan doesn't really cheer me up.

    These opportunities don't arise every Sunday.

    Browns defense should have been the talk of the NFL for that performance.

    I'd really love to agree, but for that to have happened JF would have had to come in and put on a game saving drive some time in the second half. And we know where the media would have taken that. Lost would have been the greatest Browns defensive effort in a decade.

    On Leonard: We love Gipson, but did he cross anyone's mind yesterday? 'Nuff said.

    On Robertson: Good to see him mentioned. His improved play this year has been somewhat overshadowed by excitement over Kirksey.

  • There were very many things to be pleased with yesterday. Special Teams finally got going (Cuntiff aside) and defense has bought into Next Man Up in a big way.

  • If we would have won the defense deserved to be hoisted up on the offenses shoulders for a victory lap. But we didn't win.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    The way O'Neil has them playing, and more importantly, how he's gotten them better each week, the offense needs to carry their equipment to and from practice for the rest of the year.

    If by offense you mean Hoyer and the receivers, then yes I agree.

    I mean all offense, including Shanahan. In fact, Baby Shanny should 'shadow' O'Neil during the week to see how a coach gets his unit to improve every week, even with injuries.

    Include Pettine and it's a deal 🙂

  • Justin Fucking Gilbert baby. Showed his speed and quickness taking his first career pick to the house

  • I felt the final TD was a pick play. Not in the traditional sense coming across the middle but the two receivers ran a crossing pattern and basically crashed into each other and the brown defenders, then crossed making it impossible for Hayden to cover the out route. And I'm still upset at both Witner and Kruger on the 4th down play before - great penetration by Winn and #51 and that was game-over.

    No but you're talking about the best offense in a league fixed for offenses. They did a pretty stellar job.

    They played above average, lights out in the first half, but there is still room for improvement and Reggie Wayne had some huge drops.
