I had so much fun even though I was freezing my ass off. We were surrounded by Bils fans too!

Well, I'm all for the rivalry but you've got to admit that some of the other games saw finer or more exciting moments for the Browns. Furthermore, ever since the team lost the that playoff game, Pitt has absolutely ruled the Browns.

From a purely football perspective, the Browns fought a tough team (Seattle) and gave up 14 pts early. From there, they played like a team determined to win. I've never seen them play or hit harder. Injured Seattle players were being taken off the field in large numbers. In my opinion, it was their best effort in a win.

i agree completly, but for me personally to be sitting in a bar with a bunch of steeler fans and still being able to cheer after the third quarter was a great feeling.

The euphoria I experienced when the Browns beat the Giants on that Monday night this past year... I can honestly say I've never felt that way in my life. When Eric Wright intercepted that ball and took it 94 yards (I think) to the endzone, it was a total out of body experience. The Seattle game and the first Cinci game were both amazing as well the season before, but they can't touch that Giants game.

Other than that... Cle 24 Atl 16 I remember the Jim Donovan line as William Green broke free for the 64 yard touchdown to seal it... "Run William Run!"

And of course... the coach HailMary.

the Giants game had announcers stuttering for weeks>>>everyone looked past them. that one probably tasted the best even though no one really acknowledged it even happened. the Giants were effectively silenced and it still affords bragging rights over them to this day.

My new favorite will be on opening day this year against the Vikings when I'm there to see a win finally...

As much as I hated that we lost, It was our first return to the playoffs and we led for most of the game, Holcomb tore it up and we let them come back in the last quater but for 3 qtrs I had the time of my life, pissing off Pit fans making as much noise as possible. Greatest game I ever got to attend.

This is a tough one. I'd have to go with the Couch drubbing of Pitt on Monday Night Football. At least I think it was Monday Night. If it wasn't it was either a Sunday or Thursday nighter. Anyway, I was still a road construction foreman at the time and working up in Westlake. Stayed out until about 4am getting hammered and went to work still drunk. Anybody that has ever worked in construction knows that many dump truck drivers (not all) are morons and a ton of them are Steeler tools, which is par for the course for the type of people they are-----think toothless, Harley wannabe, Neckar hat wearing front runners who know about three players.

I had a blast with those boys all day, but the best was hearing the excuses of blaming the entire game on Maddox, because that's about the depth of those morons' football acumen.

There were others but the combination of this win and the circumstances surrounding it are what make it the best. I still remember how uncomfortable Butchie and Couch were on the Browns show the night after----it had to be a Sunday nighter than. Butchie was trying to act all proud of Teyiamm and Couch wouldn't make eye contact.

Wasn't it Porter who admonished his teammates on the sideline with something like"we gonna let dese guys do dis to us?"

Great Story! Great Memories!

The airshow against Cincy in 2007 where J-Lew still got 200+ yds (And a TD run that yielded the only time in my life I wasn't depressed I spilled a beer when I lept from my chair)

Yeah, it was the best game......that was the longest winning streak the Browns have had against the Steelers all decade long (1 game) and since then its been nothing but Steelers 11 games and counting (as if it wasn't nothing but Steelers prior to that anyway)

Also, imagine if the Steelers had won that game, they would have finished the 2003 season with a 7-9 record and would have been unable to draft Ben Roethlisberger, who has never lost to the Stains, was the first QB in 20 years to win the ROY, youngest QB to win a Super Bowl, only QB to start his career off with 2 Conference Championship Game appearances, youngest QB to win 50 games and just completed the greatest game winning drive in Super Bowl history with a TD to Santonio Holmes.

Thank God you won that game. Thanks

Beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh on Monday night 33-13 was great....but my favorite post-expansion Browns game was beating Buffalo 8-0 in a blizzard. Tailgating in 40 mph winds, getting drunk, and rooting the Browns on that day was a blast. Stll can't believe Dawson kicked a 48 yard field goal in those conditions.

I completely agree....I'll never forget that game. I feel on the floor laughing when that FG went through the uprights and then called my brother to get his reaction. We were both laughing and saying this is classic stuff!

That game was vintage Browns football. Like the the old days and they won. Trip from parking lot to stadium was epic.

Mine was the Seattle come-from-behind victory. In that game I saw an attitude that I haven't seen in the Browns for years. They were determined to win and played smash-mouth football on both offence and defence.

I have to agree, but then again, that was my first time seeing the Browns in Cleveland Browns Stadium. Not bad for your first ever game huh!

Spanking the Giants last October was preeeeeeeeeeeety sweet too I have to say.

But no, I don't think I'll ever replace my first high back in November 2007.

This was the only time Butchie beat Pittsburg, and was also one of Willie Greens last effective games, as I remember.

at least Chris palmer went 2-2 witht he Steelers......

I think that Mangini will change how we approach the Steelers.....

The Giants game has great value in that they were the SB champions and it was a national game.

No doubt that "Run William Run" will go down as one of the most famous quotes by a Cleveland sportscaster

Nov. 18, 2008 29-27 vs. Bills

Harrison scampers 72 yards like he was shot from a cannon and Romeo acts like he can't even remember the guy's name.

That was the changing of the guard and the handwriting on the wall.

I forgot about this one - and still don't know why Romeo had issues with using Harrison more. I hope we see more of him this year.

I liked a game in Nashville when it seemed Dawson was kicking onside kicks to Northcutt....that was our best come from behind victory...

Sitting in row 7 of the Pound when we stuffed the Falcons on the 2 on 4th down was pretty special.

Last seasons MNF drubbing of the NYG made for a special trip up to Cleveland....that was fun.
