  1. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, we'll see.
  2. Generated 23 points with an XFL back up and 154 yards of rushing on the road (with 3 backup RBs) against a great defense, is conjuring magic to be honest. People out with the pitchforks for questionable playcalling at times. Didn't Seattle lose a SB in a similar situation with Pete Caroll who had decades of experience? Stefanski is in his 4th year, impatient Browns fans need to realize what they have instead of clamoring for a reset with a new coach.
  3. In hindsight a running play would definitely have made more sense with a backup QB but nobody's calling out the defense for giving up 60 yds and a real easy TD on a simple screen. Notably this is the 3rd game in a row where the defense collapsed in the last two minutes, we were lucky in the last two games to escape with a win.
  4. He literally only needed two plays to win the game last week. Our O-line can dominate Seattle's Defensive front and our Defensive front will definitely dominate their O-line. A few more plays from him and we beat the Seahawk easy.
  5. Let's see what he can do with a full week of practice. Go Browns!
  6. I agree, I had been ok with him in prior seasons but before the bye doubts started creeping in. The Indy game especially demonstrated great coaching, maximising your special teams and maintaining confidence in your star player in defense even when the unit was underperforming. Also benching Deshaun was the right decision and finally giving your best offensive unit in the game namely the OL and Kareem Hunt the opportunity to win the game on the winning drive. Cooper is probably our best offensive weapon overall now but no way would he be serviced by PJ in that scenario. ...... absolutely , so he never, ever leaves and we don't accidently ever forget to pay him ....... in small bills, please.
  7. In terms of clock management Kevin made the right call plus when the play is well executed you create your own luck. Walker does suck but wasn't here for training camp and yet to have a full week's practice under his belt.
  8. He was right this time, read the article on those last 33 secs from Kevin and the linemen. https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2023/10/hes-playing-chess-inside-the-browns-decision-making-on-final-drive-in-win-over-colts.html
  9. Quincy Carrier gave his opinion on the final sequence of playcalling and I tend to agree with him. In summary with 30 secs left and a back up QB more time conserved with throws rather than stuffed runs. Leave the run for last so if it's stuffed it's the end of the game anyway.
  10. Great win, pulsating and thought we lost the game so many times in the final 2 minutes. Since the return we've been on the losing end of these so many times. Defense is still a work in progress and that layoff has set back Deshaun considerably.

  12. Great win today, we have a Super Bowl Caliber defense. With above average offense we can win the AFC North and go deep in the playoffs. Congrats to Stefanski, Schwartz and the D and even PJ Walker.
  13. That fricking sucks. I don't believe in curses but this is unbelievable, now that we have a SB calibre defense we lose our starting QB. No offense will start negatively impacting the defense. Not even sure if I'll watch any games with PJ or DTR starting.
  14. The 49ers crushed the Cowboys on SNF. Can our defense do better than the Cowboys and will Stef gameplan an offense that can outduel Kyle Shanahan's? I think Stefanski is 0fer after the bye so far so he would be bucking the trend but as Browns fans we hope there's always a first time.
  15. The Giants have been awful since Saquon was injured. Funny how they paid Daniel Jones all that money when it's now apparent that Saquon was their top offensive player that made the o-line and QB look much better than they actually were. Seattle had zero respect for the Giant's running game and had their way with Daniel Jones, rattling him into dumb throws.
  16. After the preseason mirage, fans had falsely high hopes for DTR. I even read some schmuck say on X/Twitter that after today the Browns would bench Watson. I haven't read through the whole thread so I apologize if this has been answered; when did DTR and the coaches know he was going to start? It really didn't look this gameplan was designed for him, having said that we haven't figured out our run game after Chubb was injured. Another factor against DTR is Harbaugh's teams know how to gameplan against rookies his score is now 28-9. In summary as soon as I heard Watson was out I knew we didn't stand a chance of winning, my only expectation was that the defense would keep the score down but that was hard to do with 3 turnovers and the refs spotting the Ratbirds 51 yds on the first one.
  17. Lights out performance from the defense.This is the best defense since '99 and a SB caliber defense. Watson settled down after that disastrous negative play, if he stays this way we definitely have a chance at winning the division.
  18. I'm pissed and depressed this morning. Pissed at Minka Fitzpatrick's dirty hit on Nick Chubb and depressed that we don't have a starting NFL QB. if you're paid $230 million at least keep the ball secure, his 14 points off turnovers gave the game away.
  19. Spectular finish and the Jets are a very well coached team. Josh Allen looked 10x worse than DeSean
  20. The YouTube Sunday ticket experience is much better than DirectTv’s streaming. Much easier to switch from one device to another, I’d often miss the beginning of games due to work, now they’re automatically DVR’d.
  21. I got Youtube TV for Sunday Ticket but also enabled me to still watch ESPN. If the dispute isn't resolved soon I'll ditch Spectrum as we're empty nesters now and I mainly kept cable for sports.
  22. Just finished the game on Sunday Ticket DVR, awesome complete victory and the Defense was a joy to behold. Watson wasn't too sharp but did enough and fortunately for him the defense bailed him out of his ugly interception.
  23. I watched it last night very entertaining and not as painful as you'd think. The Browns segment was relatively short but instructive. My takeaways: The Browns organization was/is terrible. They should've walked out of the private workout, if a QB can't corral WRs for a workout then he has zero leadership skills. Manziel actually had talent but became an entitled brat spoilt by his family not his coaches as his father claimed. Heck if you fake an illness to cover your son's benders and inability to perform at the combine don't blame anyone else. You really need a strong organization around a budding star, Texas A&M didn't provide it. I think he would've fared much professionally under a Nick Saban. After becoming "Johnny Football" he was enabled by everyone, his OC Kliff Kingsbury admitted it on camera. The sports media is fake news, no one did a fact check on Manziel being "Old Money" and I remember them reporting he was studying tape when he admitted to ZERO minutes of watching tape. I remember the Merrill Hoge segment on him, Johnny realistically should've been drafted in the lower rounds and given time to see if he really wanted to play football. His former agent deserves his own show, his antics were hilarious.
  24. I like the hire, let's hope he can mold these players into a top 10 defense.
