  • Great hard fought win.  We always used to lose those.  When Mitchell dropped the INT.  We always used to lose those.  When Burrow threw that perfect Hail Mary, and the WR tapped it backwards towards the two guys they had stationed there (well designed) and it instead went into our guy's chest.  We always used to lose those.

    Gutsy performance by Landry.  They have no mercy on him.  They keep running him with the ball with a cracked rib.

    Bryant made the catches he had to make and helped us big time today.

    Rashard Higgins got more involved as the game went on.  He helped us in a big way today.

    Peoples-Jones hung in there and made the plays that he was targeted on towards the end of the game including the really great catch game-winner!

    I've been losing faith in Baker in recent weeks...to the point where I didn't have any faith that he could engineer a game winning drive.  And the game started off underscoring my lack of faith with that int.  And it ended with him orchestrating a beautiful, no time outs, 75 yards in a minute game winner!  Congrats to Baker!

    Myles with another one of them strip-sack thingys.  

    Denzel Ward knocking that TD out of the receiver's hands!  Big Play!

    - With Parkey missing the final XP, I felt that we should've kicked it out of the back of the end zone and make them start at the 25 rather than the 40ish where they got it.

    On my Browns Schedule I had this game listed as a Must Win.  We have to beat the teams that we're supposed to beat. (I've got 7 Must Win games on the schedule.  We're 3 for 3 so far...with the Raiders coming up as another Must Win)

    1. Odd.... I can't think of a win we ever lost... 😉
    2. It wasn't just one GWD Baker put together... it was three of them... all in the 4th QTR. Problem was Burrow engineered a couple of his own along the way.
    3. Disagree... the squibb kick and subsequent run-around-back burned all save one play's worth of time off the gameclock. That was key. It eliminated any chance of a tying FG. Kick it deep and they can run two sidleine plays and have a shot at a FG.
  • One added thought...

    Someone in the RB room not named Hunt needs to step up. Hunt's good, but we are going to wear him out long before Chubb is back.

    If no one does step up, then we might want to shop a fire sale.

    Yeah D'Ernest Johnson seems to have cooled off a bit.. I'm surprised Andy Janovich does not get any carries...

    Dernest had one carry.  He appears to know the offense well as he’s been called on in key situations (Colts and Cowboy games).  Maybe the coaches need to call his number?

    I tell you what, the Bengals got away with a couple of offensive pass interferences in the game, but we got away with the ultimate PI at the end. DPJ pushed off to get the TD and although it wasn't much, it was JUST enough to throw off the defender. And they didn't call it. 

    I almost thought his feet were out of bounds until I saw the replay.. That was a freak catch!

    Bro, I refused to celebrate until I saw the replay, and then it was PANDEMONIUM at my house. I was screaming, my kid was yelling, my dog was barking, and my wife was dancing. It was absolutely incredible.

    I am happy that the refs ARE finally starting to call offensive pass interference more, though. Used to be it was incredibly rare to ever see it called, looks like it has been a point of contention talked about this offseason with the refs.

    I totally agree with you. I've really started to see that call more and more and it's a good thing. 

    I still can't believe DPJ caught that ball. It wasn't that easy of a play to make and he somehow pegged both feet in bounds. Crazy.

    Especially considering how close it came to going through the defenders arms too.

    D'Ernest Johnson is the next man up.  And I've liked him since he first played last season.  He does a pretty good job picking up blitzers as I recall.  But he's definitely slower than our other backs.

    ...and I still don't like the squib kick in that situation.  The clock doesn't start until they touch the ball....and they didn't touch the ball until they were already pretty far upfield. 

  • Guys, if you need another jolt of happiness, watch this video. At the end keep your eyes on Joel Bitonio. He waits for the replay and after its confirmed he literally PRANCES off the field while high-stepping. Lol! 

  • OBJ did tear his ACL - Darn, see you in 2021.

    When is Chubb due back?

    D'Ernest "went off" against the 'Boyz... prolly the worst D in the league... with 95 yards on 13 carries... and it's all been downhill from there...

    And in Week 6 he put the ball on the ground.

    I like the kid, but sometimes there's a reason a RB's snap count dwindles.

  • The fact that Hunt was back healthy and that they were playing catch up The last two games plus against Dallas see where ahead by 20+ points which led to more ground action is the primary reason that Ernest Johnson isn’t getting the carries he was.

    I think the reason had more to do with the circumstances of each game.  Week 6 playing from extreme deficit and week 7 playing a team that didn’t want to be bludgeoned by the run game.  In each contest we threw the ball more frequently. 
     

    Prior to that could his “stock”  have been any higher?  He had arguably one of the biggest plays of the game sealing the victory against the Colts  and staying in bounds to keep the clock going.

    Teller went out early in that game.  The run was toward the end over the left side with a great block from a guy that was actually in the doghouse (Higgins)
