I honestly thought this was a headline midseason. Mayfield's success, when he blew another game winning drive? I was watching the playoff game and told my wife when he took over that "game's over, Mayfield always panics in these scenarios" and two plays in bingo. Watson who is the only other QB to defeat Baltimore at home this season on a broken shoulder and one leg. Berry assembled a roster that could withstand the loss of Nick Chubb of the 26% IR this season. I get tired of clickbait and hot takes that poses as sport journalism these days.

I think because he ignored the rushing attack which improved after his departure. Most advanced analytics dropped after his departure however. Funnily enough in the divisional game they still abandoned the run early in his absence which was one of his criticisms. I'm fine with the hire, after going 11-6 with this injured roster they have a pass unless they fall flat on their face next season.

Giving up big plays has been an infuriating weakness of this defense the entire season. I expected at least one but boy did they find the day to give their worst performance. However looked like it was a running theme this weekend with Dallas' purportedly top 4 defense being boat raced too.

I know but just throwing a bone to the Flacco lovers.

DL and secondary were pretty healthy today. Our inability to consistently run the ball showed up and agree we need more tackle depth. Flacco should return only as a backup. His magic ran out at the worst possible time.

I had to step out, resumed DVR to watch Flacco's two pick 6's and just skipped to the end. All our weaknesses were exposed today. At least we won't have to worry about Flacco vs Watson next season.

That was embarrassing. You can't keep this game close with Stroud out there.

I watched most of that game, the Titans just wanted it more, agree Lawrence was really inaccurate, the play calling was terrible and the Jags were just outcoached overall. They didn't deserve to be in the playoffs although I would have preferred them. Anyway to be the best you have to beat the best so I'm up to beating everyone including Baltimore on the way to our first Super Bowl.

Any reason why they didn't play PJ Walker instead? Meanwhile the Jags are sleepwalking out of the postseason.

I think he'll be an upgrade to Pierre Strong, plus he has a relationship with Stefanski.

That's true. He'll need a brain wave test whether it's part of the protocol or not for his own safety. Wouldn't expect him back before the SB if we make it there.

Totally expected Baltimore to beat the Dolphins, my only surprise was the Steelers beating the Seahawks.

Won't that only be for Division crown, aren't we statistically out of No 1 seed?

All aboard the Flacco train now guys.

We'll see.

Stefanski's our next Paul Brown, yes I said it. To have an XFL player beat the top of the pack 49ers, Watson beat the Ravens on one leg and arm, DTR beat the Steelers and resurrect Flacco from NFL death to 2 wins is remarkable. Plus let's not forget Cousins' best season in Minnesota was under Kevin's run as OC. Goodell in the stands for a 1 pm game between a mid and low tier team was very telling, the NFL loves narratives and look forward to hyping Flacco getting back to the SB.

Was watching the game on DVR so didn't want to join the thread but described Myles as ordinary and that his OL would handle him. Anyway great win, even though Flacco had his letdown game (that I was expecting) he still overcame it for a comeback win on our behalf this time. Defense was great and Dhop as usual was the best trade in the offseason. I'm calling the playoffs now, if our D can be healthier we'll make a run there too.

Browns should win this. Fields who can't face pressure talking smack about Myles means a bad day for him.

Great win, I watched the beginning and the end. Great position to be atop the wild card standings with the 4th QB and all our injuries. Hope this puts all the Stefanski firing nonsense to bed once and for all.

That only happened once in their SB winning season. I just read on Twitter he's back on the practice squad so look's like Kevin is going with DTR.

That's typical Flacco. When he played against us, I always waited for the untimely interception. Our team was just too bad to take advantage of it back then. I'm ambivalent about him starting the rest of the season.

Bad loss but things really went south after DTR was knocked out of the game. After a rough start he really picked things up, defense was a let down allowing one of the worst run teams to run all over us. Looks like Flacco may start next week but the main problem is our rapidly growing injury list. Heard Myles is in a sling and Coop has a rib injury thankfully not fractured on X-ray.

Browns still win.

Great post, I'm picking the Browns to win and think Stefanski will open the playbook a little bit more for DTR, our run game should flourish against one of the worst run defenses in the league and our pass rush will feast on Wilson. Plus D hop is money for a low scoring game. The national media will realise Denver's win streak was a mirage and the the Browns are for real.

I also had 11 wins at the beginning of the season, looks like we're on track. "Must win" games is language of the former Browns teams not this one.
