  • Not our best, but I'll take it.

    I do think we missed Callahan on the sideline today, but pretty sure he was virtually in the locker room at halftime. Looked a lil better in the 2nd half.

    Big mystery for me was Hunt having so much less success than Chubb.

    Yeah...and then Chubb on the biggest drive of the game on the sideline.  Dang 3rd and 2. Pass?  Nick Chubb twice please

    I'm not going to apologize for 11 wins and playoffs; especially with all the starters that have been out week after week.  If this bothers other people too - then find a new FUCKING HOBBY!

    You try playing chess replacing several attack pieces with pawns every week and let me know how EASY the play calling is.

    Yeah.  I hear you. playoffs. Got the dub. 
     

    Play calling was awful.  They were Need to be better next week.

    Exactly!  Never apologize for 11 wins.  Play calling isn't going to be pretty on a team coming off 6 wins when we're replacing Denzel Ward with a backup's backup and 2 LBers , etc.   Last week we lost 7 starters and people we're griping that we didn't look like a playoff team. How can you when we had replacements that had to learn the playbook in the morning walkthrough the day of the game.  QBs count on chemistry and there was none to be had last week.

    If we get close to getting our full team back next week - we could really surprise the favorite at home.  All of a sudden, there's no pressure on the Browns and that's pretty freakin cool!

  • Baker will be running for his life next week...

  • WOW'za!... After reading all the Browns sports clippings all week..

    Why does it just make sense?

    A.) That LB Jacob Phillips would play the game of his short NFL life? ?

    and

    B.) CB Robert Jackson makes the game saving play to get us here? ? 

    sign me up... for guys showing up everyday that worked hard for this kind of Day 🙂

    I now remember what being on cloud 9 feels like again...  I'll come back down at some point... just not today ?

  • I have so much to say about this game and season but don't have the words right now. I shouldn't be this emotional about a football season but I am. Everything is just so effing hard for us. What a season. 

  • Here's to our 1000-yd rusher, Nick Chubb.

    And he did it in 11-1/4 games... JB has to be proud.

  • Still major concerns/questions:

    Back 7 defensively.    How many of our defensive starters were out today?    And  will they all be back for the playoffs?

    Why not run their asses ragged when you have a 24-9 lead?

    Looking back on the highlights,  .every one of the 4 sacks were on Baker, not the protection.   One time he slipped down that got him sacked.  The other 3 times he just held the ball too long.

    Browns defense didn't seem like they were getting the pressure on the QB they needed, not at all.    Is Garrett still weak from covid I wonder? 

    Clearly we are going to need a new kicker next year.   SS's and RFs have two of the best kickers in the league. We can't be taking sacks when we are in FG range. 

    I am sure I will have more question the more I synthesize this one.

    I also hate  playing a team back to back  from last regular season game to first playoff game....But that looks like what we will get.

    FYI...Browns last 2 playoff games have been losses to the Steelers...at Pisstown.

      ?Didn't mean to be.  Just pointing out areas we need to shore up for this next game. 

  • CONGRATS TO ALL OF US BROWNS FANS!!

    ...doesn't matter that some non-calls went our way...and that we were playing against Mason Rudolph...

    GREAT BLOCK KAREEM HUNT

    ...man I hate using Baker as a ball carrier.  Thank you Kareem Hunt for a great block to seal the game.

    Sometimes I agree with 99% of what you post.

    Slight Dissent:  Our secondary played admirable against the Steeler “A”team WRs.  The play that Woods dialed up a blitz....INT.  The other play...well covered blitz pickup and a TD.   I think I hope we stay with Pressure. We will get a couple PIs next week in Pitt. We gotta be better..we were handsy 

    I also disagree on playing Steelers back to back 80% of time I think our HC is a on the money with calls.  Today was not that day but give him another opportunity to figure that team out and we have some young guys. 
     

    RUN the ball next week.  RUN...Run again... play action and boots.  Do not do this shotgun sandlot Cr@p we saw today with Baker.

    Our friend ! You deserve this day just like many others...

    Enjoy it ! We Did it when nobody thought we could ?... 

    and the record says they can't take it back... 

  • Although we know 11-5 isn't that bad which coulda been 12-4 or even 13-3 as we a all know -and- there is always room for improvement in this crazy year.

    And they might be a dangerous team moving on in the playoffs.  But for now........

    GO BROWNS, they ARE 11-5.,......baby !   Playoffs.  🙂

    I am not claiming that the DB didn't play admirably.....but I still want our (current) starters out there at full strength where I think we can do even better.   Steelers are barely capable of rushing the ball, so focus has to be on putting on pressure, and on coverage.   I am just saying that in both areas,  we can....and must do better next week.

    I don't think "upset" is the issue.    I think it is like  "we can't have a minute to breathe....to celebrate until we have to worry about having to play this  fucktard team again next week"  I think if we were facing anyone else, we would have had some breathing room, some time to celebrate.  If we had ended up playing the Bills, or the Tits....I think we would have had that time, but playing the Spermsuckers again?  It seems no. 

  • Good game by Phillips.  10 total tackles.  I think I like him.

    Our current DB's are not fast enough to make up for little errors.

    I choose to Celebrate!!   ? Cheers!

    we had 1... (one) on the field practice all week... sure, we looked like it at times today..Zoom meeting can't replace on the field practices.. See spotty OL play today with flags? .

    a) We should get some guys back before practice Wednesday

    b) the players need locked away till then

    c) Ben wants to play his little dink game? Bang their WR's on there asse$ the first 5 yards we are given..

    We can play straight up with these guys just like the Ravens found out...

    It's a long way from Wednesday..... Enjoy this win till than!
