  • I'll give one to the maligned secondary, to face what, 68 passes and bend,bend, and bend some more. Sure they gave up 38, put they also had 4 picks

    Preventing 2 out of 3 two point conversions was huge too.

    True that. They had a hard outing, most of them are backups and gave the offense some chances with those turnovers. 

  • I wanted to congratulate you Brown fans on your victory last night! I loved watching Pittsburgh lose. You guys deserved and earned every bit of it. I hope you beat KC!

  • Back to the OP, as much as I want to signal a main protagonist... It was a huge team effort:
     

    - OL didn't give up sacks and I never heard of cam Heyward, for example.

    - Mayfield leaded the team and made no mistakes. Even that first down run... Man oh man I like my QB when he plays like that. 3TD passes.

    - The running back duo played at their usual level: TOP NFL. I love them both. 

    - Hooper and Landry made some huge catches. Receivers didn't make many mistakes. 

    - Dline maybe didn't sack Ben a lot, but boy he had some hard time on that pocket. They forced half of the INTs. 

    - Takitaki had an INT and that should cover LBers. 

    - Secondary had 4 picks. 

    - Special teams played well, scored all points and didn't make mistakes. I don't remember a huge ST play by the Steelers.  

    - Playcalling: We mixed both run and pass plays on offense, 41 points on a Steelers defense... That's something. Defense didn't go prevent all time and saved the house with a depleted secondary. 

    I'm really proud of the team effort. GO BROWNS!

    What's wrong with THIS year?  🙂

    I cannot give reactions to the posts (used 'em up in the wee hours) but I enjoy reading your comments.  

    The 'D' did a great job considering what they had to work with.  All of the understudies gave their best effort and with the help of the offense, preserved the win.

    - I shoulda' left the kicker game ball for Nero.  I wasn't thinkin'  🙂

  • AVP

  • This is going to sound cheesy, but I give it to the entire 53 and coaching staff. 

    The coaches for not letting the players go all woe-is-me, and the players for buying in and using what seemed like far too much adversity for any one team to handle, as a giant sized chip placed perfectly on their shoulders.

    If we face them this year, it will be in Tampa....not in Green Bay.

    Next season one of the Browns away games will be at the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field.  (think John Facenda)

    OK.....Who is it?  Axe  and Z  live down Tampa way, No?  If not for Covid, we all could have invaded their homes for the party. 

  • Who would you give game balls to?    

    I'm gonna start with one:  Cody Parkey.   He's a guy that's kinda' been under the microscope...playing for a city that's absolutely crying for a playoff win...and he made ALL of his kicks.   There were a ton of kicks to make, and we needed them ALL.  Including the kick-offs.   Good job Cody Parkey!

    @orion said:

    Tretter.

    Not only did he play a great game, but he also was our de facto OL coach.

    So maybe he gets 2... 😉

    We still have not forgotten 1965! 😉

    Green Bay 23, Cleveland 12, NFL Championship Game.

    Jim Browns last NFL game. 

    Last NFL Championship Game... the 1966 had the first Super Bowl.

    Baker Mayfield 3 TDs 0 INTs remember his last game at Heinz. 
     

    MJ Stewart he was everywhere and actually made tackles and not allow YAC like every other DB.

    Michael Dunn Guard.  He couldn’t wreck the game by giving up penetration but he actually up opened holes.

    He wasn't half bad was he.  I hope he's ok.  And Conklin, I hope he can come back.

    An honorable mention goes to Porter Gustin who made a terrific diving catch of that batted pass.
