Yessir. Emotion l jive with. However, silver lining, what a weird àss way to start the season right? A tie? Who even does that anymore?
I gotta admit. I am unreasonably fired up. A tie on opening day? That is such a Browns thing to do, but also a Browns thing in the right direction.
That’s my team. Fúcking up standings from get go in the AFC.

There has not been a tie on the first game of the season since like the merger in 1970 or so

Has there ever been one? Even before that?

Morning, kids. God bless anybody who went to the Muni, Burke, etc etc to tailgate. Too cold and rainy for me at this point. I'm not 18 anymore.

Ah the weather wasn't that bad, nothing to light drizzle, light rain. Rain got a lot heavier in the 4th quarter and OT. The real deluge came on the drive back home after 8 o'clock.
Unfortunately I was thinking during most of the game that the rookie Baker could have read the defenses far better than TT was doing. It showed in preseason. But that said I don't want him out there until this team can decently pass block, which they can't.
Taylor was slow in his reads- and I'll agree- he had plenty of off target throws.

Think they said you have to go back to 1971 for a tie on opening day. It's the first time the Browns and Steelers have ever tied- in a zillion games. BTW, the last time the Browns had a tie was in 1989 against the Chiefs.
Some of you guys are disappointed- but I'll take it as a moral victory. I had a loudmouth Steeler fan sitting next to me I was about ready to punch out.

You still probably could kick a FG better than Gonzalez.
That's exactly what I was yelling at the TV. I at least watched the rest of the game before getting x Rays.

Hey guys, it could be worse. I jumped up to celebrate us tying the game and I broke my foot.

I believe that is correct. And FYI, that was before they even instituted overtime in the NFL, which did not come in until the 1974 season.
And face it, with the reduction of the OT period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, we ARE going to get a few more ties.
Which could make things interesting at the end of the season when determining playoff spots, and seeds.
Example: 1989:
Browns win division with 9-6-1 record
Steelers AND Oilers finish with 9-7 records, Bengals go 8-8.
Steelers and Oilers had to meet each other in the Wildcard game. (Steelers won that game...IN OT!!

There comes an age when you have to carefully consider jumping...
I guess 31 was that age haha. I'd like to think it was just an awkward landing. I'm not old, yet.

I'll let the trivia exert look this one up if he feels like it. Has a team had more than one tie in a season?

I assume you mean, since they implemented the OT rule for regular season in 1974? Before that it was a regular situation.

Either- most ties in a season, one team since 1920.

Well.....since the the OT rules came into play, the answer is that NO teams have had 2 ties in the same season Here is a list of all the tie games since then:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_tied_games
Note, many years there were no ties. In fact, the league went from 1989 to 1997 without having a tie game. Then there were 2 in 1997, but not another one for another 5 years in 2002.
There were no tie last season, 2017.
But, as I said, with the shortened OT, I think we will be getting a few more, here and there.

So, just FYI Here are a few facts about tie games:
The Akron Pros won the very first NFL title with an 8-0-3 record.
A number of teams in the early years, the 1920s would have 3 ties on their record.
The team that had the most tie games in a season were:
The 1932 Chicago Bears, whose record was 7-1-6 They were awarded the NFL Championship based on this record!! The Packers who went 10-3-1 were given 2d place!)
The next most number of tie games were the 1925 Frankford Yellow Jackets who finished 9-4-5. (Packers won with 12-0-1 record)
Three other teams in history finished with 4 ties: 1924 Bears 6-1-4 (cleveland Bulldogs given title at 7-1-1); 1925 Orange Tornados and the 1932 Portsmouth Spartans.
Now....the LAST time an NFL team had 2 ties on its record was 1973, the year before the rule change. And actually 4 teams, including the Browns had two ties on their record. Perhaps those 4 teams with 2 ties prompted the rule change to go to regular season OT.
The LAST team to have 3 ties: 1970 San Diego Chargers

Does anyone know who got credt for the late sack of Ben? The one where he appeared to trip over one of his OL or the turf and then was touched down?
I thought I saw in the one ground level replay that a Brown on the ground reached between an OL's feet and grabbed Ben's ankle. I thought it was MG, but I could not see a number.

I mean, just ONCE...ya know? Six turnovers? How is that even possible? How did Joel Bitonio of all people get pushed back 7 feet into the kicker? How are the special teams STILL so bad? Jabrill Peppers called a fair catch with NOBODY around him? Jesus man. HOW? We literally got every single break one team could possibly get in that game, and we STILL didn't win? It's almost impossible.
We really couldn't have a slow start to the season offensively. Why? Because we're about to start hearing the chants of Baker Mayfield, that's why. Heck, I bet there were a few yesterday. If Tyrod has another poor game against the Saints, we're going to start hearing louder chants for Baker to play. Granted, Tyrod had to play in the driving rain ALL game, but COME ON GUY.
Oh, and kiss my butt Njoku. Tyrod's best pass of the entire day, and you drop it. Would've been 1st and 10 from their 31 yard line. But nooooooooooooo.

I wonder if the earlier TT high ball on a seam route that got Njoku lit up flashed before his eyes.
