Watching the final drive again, I'm more impressed. I honestly didn't believe we'd be able to throw the ball, just didn't. And to be fair, we displayed ZERO ability or even willingness to try. Go watch that pass DTR had to Moore again. That thing was SICK, and that catch wasn't super easy, either. With a guy in his face, DTR threw an absolute seed to Moore, low and away so he could cradle it and go down. Our protection was good, Moore ran a perfect route, and once we got THAT pass, it was time to roll.
Additionally, Njoku had a rough game, we know, but check out the route he ran at the end. Nothing fancy, but Kevin was sly here. Kevin had Njoku running that sideline route ALL DAY, so what do we do now? We run a "tendency breaker" and sell the same outside route, but Chief breaks it off and runs directly back to the middle. It was wide open, and an easy throw. That's the little stuff you set up the entire game, then you cash it in when you need it. I THINK we ran it previously when DTR fired that fast ball off David's hands, and we were fortunate it wasn't picked. He could have caught it, but that ball needs to be down and perfect to a wide open dude.
Very impressed with that drive, and in awe of what the defense did all day.

Speaks to the players wanting to make plays, the coaches believing they'll make up for their mistakes, and the mutual trust between them.
That jerk route where Njoku came up big at the end was the same he dropped a potential first down on the drive before. Coaches went back to it.
Moore dropped a square in that hit him in the hands, they come back the next play and hit him on a backside tare. Knowing your coaches believe that you can do better instills confidence and accountability. Players tend to respond well to that.
Was nice to see we didn't shy away from either of them when we needed a play.

Good evening BROWNS fans everywhere.
It's been a good day, on to next week.
●--> And something to shoot for !
Which AFC North football team has gone the longest since winning the division?
The Cleveland Browns have never won the AFC North. The last time the Browns won a division title was in 1989, when they won the AFC Central.
Who is the best NFL team to miss the Playoffs?
Based on winning percentage, the 1967 Baltimore Colts had the best regular season record at 11-1-2 to not make the NFL Playoffs.
Who was the last 10 win NFL team to miss the playoffs?
The most recent 10 win NFL team to miss the playoffs was the 2020 Miami Dolphins, who had a 10-6 record but didn't make the playoffs.
●--> Who was the last 11 win NFL team to miss the playoffs?
The most recent 11 win NFL team to miss the playoffs was the 2008 New England Patriots, who had a 11-5 record but didn't make the playoffs.
●--> Who was the last 12 win NFL team to miss the playoffs?
●--> A 12 win NFL team has never missed the playoffs.
Who was the last 10 win NFL team to miss the playoffs?
The most recent 10 win NFL team to miss the playoffs was the 2020 Miami Dolphins, who had a 10-6 record but didn't make the playoffs.
Count not your chickens before they hatch mjp.... However, as of today the Browns are in the pole position in the wildcard race at 7-3... Why I was harping that the Steelers game was critical. Browns (only) need to go 3-4 to get to 10 wins. (4-3 and we're in, take it to the bank) Two other teams sit at 6-4, Steelers & Texans, meaning they have to go 4-3 to get to 10. There's a bunch of clubs sitting at 5-5, but they'll all need to go 5-2....
It scares me a little with the upcoming game in Denver. Historically we've played like crap against the Donkeys, plus (see above) they're going to be fighting for their playoff lives. They can ill afford more than a couple losses to have any chance at playoff land. PS- that was more lousy scheduling (thanks for nothing NFL) putting that game on Thanksgiving weekend- to screw up my bucket list adventure. Worst travel day of the year.
EDIT to my betting fan... Browns open as 1.5 point dogs to the Broncos.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the division scenario pretty cut and dry after this past sunday?
If PIT beats BLT (again) and the Browns beat the Bengals, I believe that means we win the division on merit of total division wins and not going 0-2 against any team.

A lot of iffs there tia... that would be way cool should the Browns host a playoff game in like forever.
Not exactly, the Steelers would have to lose to the Bengals once, and\ or the Browns have a better record than the Steelers. Otherwise, we both end up at 4-2 in the Division, then it gets complicated.
Don't get me started on the complexity of a three way tie with the same records.

I've been wondering where in the hell I saw that formation from previously with the HB on the swing as the cheese and the backside pin and pull. I kept wracking my brain over QB's that had designed mobility. Then I remember the Panthers were VERY big on this formation because they had both Jeremy Shockey and Greg Olsen at the time.
At the 2:57 mark.
Very first play from the Brownies.
Whoever is digging deep during the week, likely the assistants behind the scenes that help dig for information and run it to the coaches... bravo. That's really pouring over personnel and trying to find ways to directly get DTR's legs involved. Because I don't think anybody in the higher coaching staff has ties to Carolina around that era.

Anyone calling for stefanski to be fired should be evaluated for head trauma.
I hope DTR matures quickly, but the lack of throwing downfield when the Steelers were pressing hard for multiple drives in a row is questionable. Lost confidence after his first go, misreading the defense, who knows.
I think Denver is a better confidence booster for the young QB, but they will be bringing in Flacco probably who may be our guy the rest of the way for the playoff push.

when we make the playoffs he should be coach of the year.

The Browns broke the Steelers offense too.

@steelersStatement from Coach Mike Tomlin: -
They should have fired Tomlin and promoted Canada to HC

most of the toothless hillbilly inbreed fans of Squeeler City don't deserve a Mike Tomlin as their head coach. ?

You’d have to be some kinda masochist to watch that game again, on thanksgiving no less.

Anyone else find themselves watching that 12 minute youtube game highlights video over and over again? There's nothing quite like a victory over the Steelers. - asking for a friend
