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 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.

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.

also i can't believe no one said a word about about robinson he did get burned for one sack but otherwise was solid

We do seem to have the phalcons number.

Very impressed by yesterday's win!

Finally nice to see a coordinator utilize Baker's strengths.

Defense played great, it helped tremendously having Ward and Joe back there.

Higgins is very valuable to this offense when he is out there..

Baker with 13TDs and 7INTs so far.. Good numbers for the rook!

I tell you what, if Baker can somehow finish with a 2-1 TD to INT ratio, I think that would be an incredible feat for our rookie. He's closing in on it now, and while we definitely play some tougher defenses on the horizon, it's terrific to see us finding some strengths and playing solid ball. I would like to see us mix in a deep shot now and then, but honestly, we kind of didn't need to. Additionally, I don't like seeing zero points in the 4th quarter, but we relied on our defense, and they came THROUGH.

I love it!

Now 12-4 all time against them.

On the other hand, some teams have the Browns number: Seahawks, Broncos.

Actually l think that was the Baker dribble fumble, recovery, and run where Robinson got beat.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/brownswire.usatoday.com/2018/11/11/studs-and-a-dud-from-the-browns-big-victory-over-falcons/amp/

Saw this article today where the author pinned “dud” status on Robinson for that play and one other, which l think is a wee bit unfair. I guess when you pick a theme for an article you gotta stick with it, but it may have been our best o-line performance all year. Zero sacks allowed, and they were certainly doing their part in the run game.

Yes, it would be incredible. Compare the other rookie QBs in that area:

Darnold 11 TDs 14 Ints

Rosen 6 TDs 8 Ints

Allen 2 TDs 5 Ints

Lamar Jackson....in very limited QB action has 1 TD pass , no ints.

Baker 13 TDs, 7 Ints.

And of course, it was Baker who dealt with the disruption of having his HC and OC fired.

I actually disliked the early, direct-snap, trick play much less than this.

The RB throwback was in the flow of the game off the new formation we sprang on ATL. It wasn't executed well, but it was in the flow.
