We showed progress, played with a lot of heart till the end, and kept up with the chiefs offensively. Our defense was banged up. I was proud of how Kitchens and Baker ran the offense, especially keeping duke in the game more.

We had more spark offensively this game than the past 3 combined.

We can't expect to dominate the Chiefs with Ward and Gaines out.

Baker is developing.... and thats what we need.

Onto next week.....

For an interim coaching staff put together less than a week ago and marching orders to run the ball and  keep Baker alive.... they did fine. Duke caught some passes, Chubb ran well and besides, the Qweefs could not have won without a few of us NE Ohio guys helping them.

yeah man we crushed it alright.....me thinks we stopped them once or twice the whole game and one was a desparation  throw at the end of the first half....don't count that one....wait til next week when matty ice and his crew come to town.....stadium should be half empty by midway in the third qtr....

Could very well be a very close game vs. the Chiefs. We're young and hungry and we no longer have the burden of Hue Jackson. Sure, the Chiefs will put up points, but it's apparent their pass D is lacking.

Word is Higgins will play, Higgins is saying Callaway better play, and Landry is due to finally go off for a game. Kitchens will get Duke more involved, and our clock management / time management should be a million times better. I'm willing to bet the farm we put up a lot more points this week then we've been putting up.

Go Browns!

You sure?

Am certain!!..see, ya show up during 13 unanswered in 3rd ? congrats..You keep watching what Dorsey did for KC. While we will keep watching Brett Veach reach on 6 DT's to replace 1 DT...Dorsey will have this roster ready to compete after next draft..With a coaching staff, that can make in game adjustments..Were not going anywhere but up from this season..Is Speaks the only guy Veach drafted that plays?

We have not let a team get off to a "huge" lead to no one including the lala Chargers..TD Chargers hit before half got a ref fired..Your Defensive game plan is not hard to figure out. Our edges our weak on both sides of the ball. Dee Ford & K.Hunt are your best players topped by Terrek Hill. Maholmes should be happy with what Dorsey drafted in front of him.All your sacks come from 2 positions with 4 players deep..... DE & Olb'er..no easy task, but taking Hunt out of game puts this game on our DB's & LB'ers hands..Gregg Williams may have tricks targeted at your C Reiter today? In game coaching/player adjustments have been our issues season after season.   Am expecting some communicating issues coming from our offense today. If KC can't stop our running game plan today? This game will see No "huge" leads..

Chiefs are near the top in Sacks....and might be good for you to look at the box scores of the Chiefs games....it is TRUE we give up a lot of yards and points....AFTER WE GET OUT TO HUGE LEADS.

Calm down Poindexter!    You're never going to sell this stuff until you believe it.   Exhale!     

We know you guys need the Heimlich Maneuver every post season rendering what you did all 16 weeks meaningless in just one 3 hour period. Do you want me to dial 9-1-1 for you now or wait until you start choking again?   You don't have to pretend you're all confident again for us.  You're really just a poor knucklehead that fools himself into watching Rocky multiple times devastated that the ending never changes. Practice makes perfect...

Poor My Homies is going to feel like he never left Texas Tech.  They're still losing to Oklahoma with the moral victory of "almost" Patrick established precedent with.  Too bad because he's such a fun kid to watch.  

@brownpile said:

Ummm.... I have been watching the Cavs and.... well... 

Spring training starts in 3 months!

Hey now they also fired their coach and have won a game, they are definitely competitive with the Browns for viewing time.

uncle fester is gone, so don't be too overconfident.

You're giving Mahomes too much credit. A huge lead you won't have.

@stillmotion said:

Wow, so many of you have gotten Hue'd to the point where you all expect to lose now. Christ, have some kind of fight guys.

The Chiefs Defense is overrated. Almost every team puts up big points against them. Ward should do well against their WR's. It's Hunt I believe we need to worried about.

Expect Ward to have another good game, and if you really think Baker is going to keep getting beat, and beat, and beat without a fight, especially vs. Mahomes, then you're in for a surprise.

Getting Higgins back will be a tremendous help to Baker. There is no substitute for experience.  They had a good chemistry and mutual trust that Baker hasn't quite found with any of the rookie WRs just yet.   Sometimes I catch myself really under-estimating how much goes into a rookie WR being on the same page with a rookie QB considering how much more complex NFL defenses are.  They both have to be able to adjust to some of the disguised coverage/blitz packages they've just never faced throughout their college careers.  Therefore, I don't get the sense Baker is always trusting the rookie WRs that have been asked to hit the ground running with our starting lineup all of a sudden. 

If our offense avoids the 3 and outs - I think we'll enjoy how our defense competes.   It'll be nice to get Gaines back healthy so Randall can play FS.   After watching what Conner did to our defense last week - I expect them to challenge our run defense.  That said, I fully expect our defense to be up to the challenge.  KC probably thinks all they have to do is show up.  

As we start to get guys back healthy - I see no reason this team can't build on all of the close games to the extent we're winning a lot more frequently in the 2nd half of the season.  Fan isn't just a prefix of fantastic. That's why we'll keep spending at least 3 hours to watch us 60 minutes of Cleveland Browns football.  Kick off and kick asss!

Regarding our kicker, the guy we had in TC competing against Zane Gonzalez, Ross Martin, is still available. I thought he may have beaten Gonzalez out in pre-season, but he was cut. That kid is from Ohio (bad weather experience), set records at Duke, 83% FG, no missed extra points & at least 1 55 yarder in pre season. What happened???

Mike

When he left he must have told Dorsey: ?

Take him to the bank  from CBS Sports:

* Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Cleared to play Sunday

"Hill (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns after logging a full practice Friday, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.At the halfway mark of the Chiefs' schedule, Hill ranks sixth in the NFL with 705 receiving yards on 44 catches while reaching the end zone eight times. After proving his health by ending the week without any restrictions, the dynamic playmaker will take aim at a Cleveland defense that has surrendered an average of 275.6 passing yards per game this season. Only six teams have given up more passing yardage to date." 

And throw in his KO/PRs against the worst STs in the league and this will be very unpretty. Take it to the bank indeed.

Fuck you, asshole.

I have a sneaking suspicion there are quite a few posters on here who are going to be disappointed when they realize that "No Hue" isn't going to be the godsend they think it will be for these last eight games.

At this point, I'll be happy with another two wins and a 4-11-1 finish. 

We can all hope though, right?

This team surprised us all when they beat Baltimore and I don’t see why they can’t do it again

@jiggins7919 said:

 Really, we had the game in hand but Tyrod threw that interception, and that was that. Yeah, our kicker blew it,

I believe Tyrod came back and threw the game tying bomb to Callaway after that INT. The kicker lost us that game for sure

@hoorta said:

In reply to jiggins regarding our kicker, yeah I agree with you. But with all the turmoil this past week, working out new ones was a low priority. Probably have a new one after the bye.

Oh, totally. There was no way we could add that into the mix. Maybe if it was a bye week, but not now. In fact, should Joseph struggle again, I think we'll have a tryout. Joseph has too many "miss-hits", ya know? Like, the FG he missed against Pittsburgh sucked for us, but it was a well-struck ball. He didn't miss it by much. Remember the Happy Gilmore kick he had that went left and sliced back right? Lol. The kid has a strong leg, and when he makes solid contact the ball looks OK, but he's not the answer, and I think we know it. Just can't make a move right now. And I hate to say it, but I'm not sure we're going to have a game where FG's matter in the next few weeks, lol. We're going to need TDs.
