    Congratulations to the Browns....and Browns fans everywhere!      No more road losing streak.  No more, haven't won consecutive games since 2014.  -  Getting rid of the negative records!!!

    Way to go Browns!!!

  • Holy shit, it just dawned on me...

    The Browns are 2-1-1 vs the AFC North so far this season.

    AND big ben just threw a pick in the end zone..... DEN in victory formation.

    Great long weekend!

  • And the Broncos take down Big Ben on an INT in the endzone at the end of the game! What a great day!?

  • we got no help..but it is late november & my TV screen has our Brownies still in PlayOff Hunt listed for all to see....😛😛  ?

    Indeed, Browns win Steelers lose, almost perfect. Now if the Purple Ratbirds had lost, couldn't hope for better....

    Aw, some Negative Nancys around here are saying - we're blowing our draft standing.

    Except Denver winning is still on pace to keep them behind us in the draft by 1/2 game. Hope we both win out until we beat them Dec. 15 in Denver.

  • I guess they want us to suck every year so we have a great draft standing.

  • I can't believe I'm actually printing this for the first time......and yes pit and cinci lost!  🙂

  • if only the team that played today was the team that took the field a couple weeks ago against the steelers.

  • Felt and looked like on TV that there were more Browns fans in the stadium than Bengals fans. 

    You can feel the hope returning to the most deserving fan base there is.

    It was. Minus a head coach tho

  • I have so much stuff to say about this game, but I'm slammed at work, LOL.  (I know everyone just can't WAIT for me to write my drivel, haha).

    I could get used to this "winning" stuff.  ?

  • Really impressed by the Brownies in this one..

    Wish they didn't pump the brakes in the 2nd half, but other than that, they didn't choke, got the win, and avoided another road loss..

    Onto the Texans!

  • have to share this, don't know if it's been posted...

    Njoku on his TD leap - LOL

    these guys are really excited to be having fun on the field.

  • For those wondering about Chubb ........................you are getting spoiled by those long runs earlier in the season and last week. He actually had 84 yards running and another 44 in pass receptions with 2 TDs. That there is an excellent day in the NFL for any RB. And the TDs came early for gut punches to Cincy right from the start, which allowed for that eventual 35-7 lead. I like this RB a ton.?

    Texas, that is such a great point.  And don't forget, he had a 20 yarder (or so) at the very end of the game, AND he stayed in bounds.  We still had to punt, but it allowed us to take off more time.  He ran tough, he caught the ball well AGAIN, and he didn't fumble it.  There are times when I yell "Hold it with two hands!", but the guy doesn't fumble somehow.  LOL.  And I REALLY like how he's becoming a real weapon in the passing game.  I also LOVED the short TD run he had.  Lower the shoulders, pump those strong legs, and get in there!  Nothing needs to be said about the TD catch.  I mean, just wow.  To be honest...I'm not sure it WAS a "catch", but hey...it was a near miraculous play, and I think the ref basically gave it to him because it was just that insane.  LOL!

    And yeah, and we got spoiled with some long runs, but it sure felt like Chubb was about to bust one at any moment.  I LOVE this kid.  

    Oh, one more thing.  I thought our LT Greg Robinson played well AGAIN for us.  Other than the very first play of the game, where Robinson obviously held his opponent on the nice Chubb reception but wasn't called (somehow, lol), Robinson pretty much handled his business.  Now, Robinson will REALLY have his hands full this week, but if he keeps on playing well, he's going to stay put and we somehow have our LT.  AND we have depth with a developing Desmond Harrison.

    Both our LT and our RT will have hands full with Chubb/Miller and their backups who got a sack when they briefly replaced those two for a breather against Pitt. That defense is relentless on both ends of the LOS. We will have to really gameplan short passes and quick openers for the running game. Ball control and patience with 2-4 yd gains. There will not be time for the longer throws. Miller makes the Watt brothers look slow. There was one play yesterday when he anticipated the snap, dipped to the outside and shot between the blocking RB and RT and was past them before they could get any effective leverage on him. Ben barely had time to brace for impact. Have a look at what we will have to deal with even late in the game like this play was. You can see the TE was supposed to chip him, but can't even touch him as he flashes by.

    I was watching that game and saw that particular play.

    Brought back memories of LT and Derrick Thomas.

  • Another solid win.  I still think there are many areas of improvement but that discussion can wait until the offseason.  It is just nice to talk about Browns' wins!!!!
