Just checkin in. Nice win! We struggled early and that DL of theirs showed they're worth all of the praise.
Good hard running by Chubb. Tough team to get 100 yard against but he did it. He makes a couple / few really good runs each game.
Myles chipped in a BIG play (strip sack recovery) again!
OBJ and Landry made some good chains moving catches.
The D made some key turnover plays and the offense scored on them!
Wasn't as easy as the score indicates.
Good Win!

Have to consider the opponent, but...
- 3 picks today... 2 by our "woeful" LB corps... including 1 by that 9th-yr pro who is not a vet.
- D allowed only 103 yd rushing including 22 by a WR on one reverse... so that's 81 by RBs and WSH has some good backs.
- 3 sacks including 2 with a trifecta by Miles "I'm just gettin' started here" Garrett
- Chubb goes for a buck + 08... Hunt adds another 46.
- Stef stuck with the run despite having issues getting going.
- Baker posts a very efficient 16/23 for 156 and 2 TDs with no turnovers.
- OBJ looked happy despite only 4 catches... routes looked crisp to boot...
- Ditto for Landry...
Nice game... nice W...

One thing I'll add that I've noticed in all games this year...we are wrapping up & TACKLING rather than doing that "kill shot" shoulder block shit! Finally, a coaching staff stressing fundamentals.

We did Browns things in the First Quarter
Freddie was calling plays in the 3rd
But Baker was turnover free
Our Oline started winning battles as the game went on.
OBJ quietly had a very solid game.
Myles had a huge splash play and the defense overall played better. I think PFF scores will show it.
Our Kicker was flawless.
We had 37 runs 23 passes - I’m looking for 40/30 so have to be pleased there.
Who knows what Dallas team shows up next week but our Defense has to take another step.

Baker didn't make the critical mistake today and didn't have a pick. He had another intentional grounding penalty that was completely avoidable and extremely angering. He did it last game too, and it cost us big time. Honestly, I thought his underhand duck got to the line of scrimmage (barely) but I guess we couldn't review it.
Here's something else: We were down 20-17 (somehow) in the 4th quarter and it looked BAD guys. People were running free in the secondary, we couldn't tackle, and we once again gave up ANOTHER 4th down conversion. So when everything looked bad, guess what happened? Baker Mayfield engineered a drive that reclaimed the lead. Yes, 10 out the 13 plays were runs, but Baker still had to complete some big throws and he did. Capping it off with a gorgeous TD strike to our promising rookie TE. Baker didn't panic, he didn't choke, he just got the lead back, and we didn't give it back.
With one of those throws being an absolutely critical 3rd and 12 dart to move the chains. Bottom line- people will see the yards thrown and scoff. But if our QB can complete roughly 70% of his passes with a 2td 0INT day sign my ass up. The 49ers were a much better defense but extremely similar offense in the super bowl last year.

Man, that's so funny. I was just about to edit my post to include that laser on 3rd and 12 but you beat me to it! That throw came directly after we lost our 10 point lead and we had ZERO momentum. That throw got us started big time, and then we settled down and got back to work.

WE SHOULD BE THROWING 75% OF THE TIME BRO!!!!

Well...you know what a good team is? A good team is one that beats the bums and draws even with the good teams.
So, how many more bums are on our schedule?
Giants/Jets/Bengals again/Eagles?/Texans?/Jags If they win those 6 and split the other 6-7? That would be 11 wins, an optimistic number? I will expect 10...and hate to settle for 9, but would.
10 wins then beaten like a drum the first round. As a Browns fan, I take it!

Why? Who do you think they would face? See my playoff format thread.

You know what else OBJ does consistently well that his critics don't want to give him credit for? He blocks people and takes pride in doing it.

I was not talking playoffs. Playoff format, yes. Not playoffs for any team.
If talking about Who do you think they would face? - in the playoffs.... then you were talking playoffs.?
(I know you didn't start talking about it and were just replying to whoever did, but simply clarifying for Your Honor)

Wasn't that Leroy kelly in '67? Man, we have some kinda tradition of great backs here in Cleveland!

I don't see this team going to the playoffs, not with this defense and while Baker is managing the offense well, he's not dynamic.
That being said, this schedule looks far less daunting three weeks in than it did a month ago.
-
Then 3-1 it is...
lol... well let's not go crazy as I am going to the game and cannot remember the last time I saw us win in person.
I take that back... I remember seeing us beat the Oilers in the Astrodome in the '84.

True... when we get the ball carrier in our sight...
... but we still need work on "breaking down" in open field situations. Saw our D flying right past the ball a few more times today.

Well coached and executed game. A few predictable/bad playcalls here and there such as a run on a 3rd and 1 where a PA would’ve been nice. Defensively, we sat back in coverage on a long 3rd and goal and let Haskins calmly find Inman.
Solid performance all around from the defense. Good coverage from Mitchell and Goodson. Nice INT by Malcolm Smith. Great hit and INT from Karl Joseph. Defensive line depth is impressive.
Offensive line is among the best in the league. TE room is great. WRs are great. RBs are great..and Baker is the franchise QB.Also, I don’t recall so many hardcounts in a game.

idk I'm just messin' around. Haven't been a fan long enough to witness anything but failure, and I don't like our QB.

Just looked up the games stats. The Browns stats weren't great by any means, especially Baker. Only a 156 yards passing but the big thing is 2 TD's and no INT's, but he got the job done that's all that counts. If you didn't knw the outcome of the game looked at the teams stats first you would have never guessed we had won by as much as we did. Baker leaves a lot to be desired, but he the best we have right now and as long as he is winning games I'm ok with that.

This was a very interesting game. Would I love to see us step on the gas and maintain momentum? Yes. However, that's not realistic in most NFL games. I mean, just look across the league today and notice just how many games started out one way and then completely went the other. Fact is, it's really hard to blow someone out, even the bad teams. Take Washington for example. They were down like 17 to Philly and then guess what? They came back. And won.
So yeah, hard to extend leads and put teams completely out. One thing I do love is how Baker responded to being down. I mean we were LIFELESS out there and then he drilled that 3rd and 12 to OBJ and everything changed. This team has moxie and we proved it. Something else about Baker that was nice was the TD pass to Bryant. That was a poorly designed play (said by coach) and Baker calmly fled the pocket and delivered a strike to a wide open rookie.
To be honest, I'm more upset with the defense, even though we forced 5 TOs. It just seemed like we had no answer for them and I really don't like giving up TDs and not forcing FG's...especially when people are wide open in the damn end zone. That happened twice and it's worrisome. The 5 turnovers were AMAZING, but those won't always be there. We need to be able to get teams off the field on 3rd and 4th down.
Am I complaining? Hell no, that shit was awesome. I got to watch a victory with my Pops and talk some smack in the Tavern. It was awesome and we have a winning record. Bring it on, Dallas. We can score points, too.

Turnover differential tells the story of the margin.
