    I am going on the Higgins bandwagon. I will 100% support his effort to make that TD. Not 1 in a 100 times would that result in a touchback... 

    Rashard. You keep your head up!!! Browns Nation loves you and your effort to make that TD..... There were at least a dozens points that we could have won that game and your mistake was just one of them. Baker's INT was inexcusable. The fact that our Defense couldn't make Hennie miss on a 3rd and long...

    Keep your head up and I for one hope you our are 3rd receiver next year behind Landry and OBJ.....   Great season.. See you all at the Draft!!!!!!

        He played great, and fumbled the ball. I can't take anything from him because in the same position, human nature tells you "go for it". 

        There were many plays that lost us the game and I hope we can grow out of this.

          -- the hit on Higgy [5:50 in the video] was pretty clearly helmet-to-helmet.  Also info on the Mahomes concussion

            That was a blatant missed helmet-to-helmet call.

            The refs blew it.

              I agree he didn't lose the game. My only criticism on that play is that he should have been more self aware of the situation. He didn't need to score on that stretch given the time left, but I dont have a problem with the effort.

                    I didn't watch the whole game, I had to go rescue my mom from a dead battery.  However I saw the aftermath and some of the other plays people are talking about.  The tackle on mahomes wasn't dirty, it's a damn tackle and it just so happened his arm went up and around his head.  The missed call on the higgins hit was fucking absurd.  I'm not sure how you can talk about player safety and be so inconsistent on those calls.  I know there are different parameters for runners/qb's etc but holy hell that was a bad one.  I as a fan on the outside looking in had no issue with his effort to score either.  You are ALWAYS trying to score when you have the ball in your hands unless it's well in hand and you are trying to kill clock.  If he didn't get absolutely rocked in the dome piece he is holding on to the ball.  There needs to be a UNIVERSAL PUSH to implement full time refs and a "punishment" structure put in place if your crew continually fucks up calls.  You get the less desirable games etc, i don't really know how to address it but it's gotta be better and more consistent.

                            Go back and watch that tackle again.  I still don't think it was dirty but he essentially got Undertaker tombstoned without the theatrics.  He definitely donged his head pretty hard as evidenced by his inability to stand up afterwards.

                              ... and then took it away for this.

                              • First, it was 3rd and 10 and Baker tried to make a play.
                              • Second, Badger made a great reaction to the throw and Landry not only did not come back for the ball, he drifted deeper as he waited on it.
                              • Third, since the FG was missed the INT caused us nothing except a little time.

                              As for Henne... he ran on 3rd and long and came up short... a play you apparently missed.

                                  Not only was the hit on Mahomes not dirty, I still can't figure out how he ended up with a concussion from it.

                                  And everyone can cool the "LOOK AT THE BALLS ON ANDY REID" bullshit. Those big balls called an idiotic option run play with your already injured All-Universe QB and now you've probably ended your shot of a Back-to-Back Super Bowl. 

                                  Go back and watch that tackle again.  I still don't think it was dirty but he essentially got Undertaker tombstoned without the theatrics.  He definitely donged his head pretty hard as evidenced by his inability to stand up afterwards.

                                  Oh i know he went nighty-night, but I never saw his head really ever hit anything... Not the defender, whose arm was wrapped around his neck, nor did his head hit the ground.

                                    I didn't watch the whole game, I had to go rescue my mom from a dead battery.  However I saw the aftermath and some of the other plays people are talking about.  The tackle on mahomes wasn't dirty, it's a damn tackle and it just so happened his arm went up and around his head.  The missed call on the higgins hit was fucking absurd.  I'm not sure how you can talk about player safety and be so inconsistent on those calls.  I know there are different parameters for runners/qb's etc but holy hell that was a bad one.  I as a fan on the outside looking in had no issue with his effort to score either.  You are ALWAYS trying to score when you have the ball in your hands unless it's well in hand and you are trying to kill clock.  If he didn't get absolutely rocked in the dome piece he is holding on to the ball.  There needs to be a UNIVERSAL PUSH to implement full time refs and a "punishment" structure put in place if your crew continually fucks up calls.  You get the less desirable games etc, i don't really know how to address it but it's gotta be better and more consistent.

                                    That makes two of us... I saw neither a concussive blow nor rapid head movement to explain the kid literally being out on his feet as he got up.

                                    Plus as you said  bit of a necktie tackle, but nothing viscious. I actually wonder if Pat had a mini-stroke due to a blood clot being shaken loose. I did not hear of him going to a hospital, but he should and spend a nite or two.

                                          That is EXACTLY what I thought... that somehow the tackle by his neck cut off enough blood that he wasn't concussed, but he just blacked-out. Almost like that weird sex thing where a guy almost hangs himself while jerking off.
