  • This was an ugly win. Glad we could get the dub. Baker needs to be more consistent. Great first half, terrible 2nd half

    I don’t know the Redskins game was kind of ugly at times.

    This was a playoff team that we beat and there is no such thing as an ugly win against a 9 maybe 10 win team 

    Our offense played as well as I can remember in the first half and the defense played its best all year in the second half 

  • Can't play cover 2 with these safeties.

    Cover 3 minimum?

  • Told ya, hit Rivers and he gets stupid.

    And once hit then all you have to do is harass him and the "stupid" continues. He really does lose his composure as well as his temper.

    On the SNF lead-in I saw a replay of his grounding-safety and commentator (Simms' kid, I believe) pointed out all the room Rivers had to step up instead of making the most poorly disguised grounding throw I've seen in a long time.

    Mack Wilson is not good. We need Lbs

    On the other hand Smith really impressed me today starting with his coverage on that early circle route. Played hard and fast and hit people the whole game long.

    Great and quality win. Stefanski's the real deal, Go Browns!

    He just updated injuries.  Baker has rib injury

    Even with rib pads?

    Bruise or cartilage tear would seem most likely. In any case unless a rib is broken shoot and pad him up and play ball.

    To not assume it’s forward progress and that’s a live play is absolutely terrible reffing. No reason it shouldn’t even be reviewed. 

    Ah, but put the same scenario near the goalline with Hunt stretching to break the plane and we'd all be be yelling how he was not down/stopped and TOUCHDOWN!

    I think we got lucky and that the Indy owner gets an apology letter this coming week.

    @tiamat63 said:

    Sendejo got cAught looking and missed the deep over. 

    Seems to me that both of our Safeties were signed and start for their banging and run support, and that for at least 2020 we are willing to give up some coverage skills to get them.

    Far fetched?

    Can Sendejo just be in position to prevent big plays?

  • I'm not gonna quote all the people that have mentioned it, but today in the Tavern I said that Sendejo could learn a thing or two from Peppers. Don't let anything happen behind your back, keep everything in front. We're screwed if we need him either way, so it's better if we give up 15-20 yards everytime a CB needs S help rather than 30-40 yards.

    Yes, I know a position for him:   Left Out. 

    So, is Delpit out the entire year? 

    Ain't Earl Thomas still on the street?   (and was Thomas FS like Bandejo....or SS?)

    I didn’t realize how fortunate we were with that Peppers 20 yard centerfield- prevention of 20 yard plus plays.  You don’t know whatcha got until its gone.

    That’s my one and only complaint tonight.  We battled hard. The Offense first half and Defense second half put together some great tape.

  • Vag I like you being on this board. You are solid as a poster and usually aren’t a nuisance. 
     

    but I will say the Steelers get calls. More often than the browns. On that we can agree on. 
     

    what did you think of the Steelers defense today?

    He gave up two chunk plays for zero points... IIRC... and made the tackle on both.

    Look... he's on a one-year deal for $2mm... likely would not be playing, if Delpit was healthy... and will not see 2021 in a Browns uni unless we make a playoff run.

    .. but he is playing and my guess is that he is playing the role that Woods wants him to play.

    Would Woods want him to be faster, anticipate better and not make mental errors? Absolutely, but that is not the player he now is.

    What he can still do is bang... and he is doing that.

    And we are winning...

    No, you are the only  Steeler sperm slurper here.  TB 50 is just being cordial.  I am often cordial. But I stick up for my team against the Yinzers.  You never do.  

    Memo to Tour:  We have these things called "rivalries".  That means you do not give quarter to opposing rivals fans.  Just once try   not being a Quisling. 

  • Anyone else wondering why they got away from rolling out Baker in the 2nd half?

  • Credit is due to Kevin Stefanski, who appears to be in complete control of his team's offense in his first season as head coach. We'll see how well they perform in a key early divisional meeting next week.

    3) For a team that entered Sunday touted as perhaps the best defense in the NFL, the Colts didn't perform to such a lofty standard. Indianapolis surrendered 385 yards of total offense, allowed Cleveland to convert 10 of 17 third-down attempts, and lost the time of possession battle by nearly 10 minutes. The Colts managed to intercept Mayfield twice and tackled effectively in one-on-one situations -- limiting Kareem Hunt to 72 yards on 20 attempts -- but without Darius Leonard, the Colts lacked the punch they needed to get a road win. Philip Rivers' performance (21/33, 243 yards, two interceptions, 60.5 passer rating) didn't do them many favors, but on Sunday, Indianapolis took a step back from its strong defensive start in the season's first month.

    Probably a bruise, which sounds mild, but I've had them twice, and it sure didn't feel mild. But, he'll be good to go next week is my guess.

    I thought they tried once and the backside end prevented it and Baker got flushed the other way. 
     

    It looked like the Colts came out begging us to throw.  Second Half they diagnosed things a little better.

    Looked to me like the Colt backside quit biting on the PA.

    Not sure about diagnosis vs. design, but in either case I think our increased rushing total in the 2nd half will verify that their D changed.

    That plus it wore down some...

    Also give Stef credit... he anticipated our run difficulties early and opened things up to counter... with just enough running sprinkled in to keep them honest.

    Nice game-plan...

  • I was surprised that Keenum didn't come in to replace Baker.  'Cos Baker was hurt.  

    Nice run by D'Earnest Johnson to seal the win!  I've liked what I've seen of him since the beginning, last year.  But he IS noticeably slower than Chubb & Hunt. 

    Baker misses high on a lot of his missed passes.  He hasn't demonstrated the accuracy that he supposedly has.

    Very nice win.  30+ points again.  We've been saying that we'll need to score a lot to cover the D.  And fortunately, they're doing it.

    The Red Carpet rolled out for Higgins today.  -  was good to see.

    Nice win Browns!
