Check out the stat lines. Especially note the Yards Per Play, Yards Per Pass, Yards Per Rush and sack differences between the two.

Reads like the Seahawks teams from 2012 to 2015. That is the direction this young team should keep trending.

Only four penalties in two weeks since Hue left. Can’t be a coincidence?

It’s not. Coaching really does matter. After all , isn’t coach just another term for teacher?

And as someone mentioned early... the playcalling and unveiling of our "full-house-shotgun" was very good.

Only play call that furrowed my brow was the 3rd'n'one in our opening drive. Instead of going "jumbo" we tried the "Baker's confused" direct snap cutesy shite.

ATL came out to stuff the run and make Baker beat them. Something he might well have done, but we'll never know since Kitch kept pounding until the wall broke.

This game is proof to me this job was all about Hue and his ego.. Glad the Haslams sent his A$$ packing

I'm guessing some of our younger "Madden" influenced fans that think you can't win in today's NFL by simply running the ball and playing solid defense might have a different outlook right about now.....

I honestly don't think we have many younger Madden influence fans. Because those are the type that if they're only into football because of Madden they are certainly not going to have been rooting for the Browns for the past rough 19 years. They are the type that jumped on the Seattle Seahawks bandwagon or now the Rams bandwagon

At 55...My Madden don't do "Duke get Creamed,than sling it backward shuttle passes" nor "hell naw Hillard ain't chuck'in that chit up" to Baker Baker the touchdown maker...?..

I don't know wasn't that long ago that the Broncos won a playoff game in that style of play.

I have played a lot of Madden and consider myself pretty good at it and I was against a lot of Haley’s playcalls(aka wanted him gone)

I think most video gamers realize that they can only be so realistic.

I thought the game plan today was amazing. Of course, I questioned the direct snap but I understand why. It was early, don’t wanna have Baker forcing anything.

Late in the game, the playcalling was on the conservative side, but the defense warranted running the ball on 3rd and 2 and punting with a 12 point lead.

Also, shout out to the staff for getting these players to play such an inspired level this game on ALL fronts.

And a diamond in the rough signing: Breshad Perriman.

Now this is some Fun on Sunday..Enjoy!!

the rb option to.baker was my only grouse today, and it still bothers me cause if it had gone wrong the rage here would break servers.......so kitch gets a pass this week cause otherwise the play calling seemed balanced and fluid.

but we should also understand the success of the defense had a major hand in allowing the offense to follow the pre planned gameplan.
