The pass rush isn’t connecting quite like I expected, but overall great D effort. Flacco is putting up a nice stat line too

I’ll take a 7 point lead at half, nothing killed us more than coopers fumble.

Yea the penalties are brutal. Not taking advantage of the jags gifts also feels brutal

The hold was bull shit, as they show highlights of Garrett fighting through a choke hold

You gotta be shitting me

Good to see the pass rush finally get home, TLaw shoulda tried to salvage the field goal range

That was such a bad overthrow, I really don’t see what people like about Trevor.

Makes this game even more important for the browns, and makes this week much worse for the Steelers if they pull it off

I don’t really see the need to rotate both quarterbacks, maybe if the offense goes stagnant.

Joe Flacco looks prime, beautiful play calling and execution the whole way

I think it’s not top 10 safety money, so it’s not a bad deal overall. i mean that, I don’t think the browns are overpaying at least

Actually disregard, they confirmed it’s Flacco now

Browns not announcing it, like at all apparently. Both are warming up and they say we’ll find out on the first drive. But the espn “insiders” say Flacco is expected to start

No ward despite practice all week, wtf is that about. Also Lawrence is a whiny baby who over exaggerates every injury.

Denzel ward is out today, I think that’s an unfortunate game day plot twist nobody really expected. Lawrence confirmed starting too, no way it was actually a high ankle sprain

The announcers are going to suck off Trevor the whole game for his durability, but it’s more likely he’s a baby who overreacts to injury. Browns 27-13 LAR 30 - 17 IND 17-6 , I think browning comes back to reality this week

Use Uber, in a city like Houston that’s much easier. In nyc is a different story. Even in Cleveland I’d just pay the $15 for the Uber from downtown to the airport

Cooper is playing, Cameron Mitchell active, dawand jones is out due to an injury in practice. pj walker was also cut, probably with intention to resign to practice squad when he clears waivers

I’d be kinda curious to see a tape analysis on it. I don’t wanna comment that Christianson has been equal or better than Wills since I actually don’t know, but the high level the o-line has been playing well lately Wills was eligible to return from IR this week but the browns didn’t designate him for return, probably next week.

The could woulda shoulda for the drafts apply to every team, but they are so, so much worse for the browns. Don’t even have to go back that far - imagine if we chose Josh Allen over Baker in 2018 🙃 People can debate it all they want - but one of those guys has Watson-like value and the other is bouncing around teams, Tampa Bay is having the debate we had for years - they aren’t sure if this is the guy they should build a team around. Our last first round picks pre-Watson I think are Newsome and Wills, also not particularly impact players. —- But who can complain, they’ve been winning and hold the top wild card seed - great to have some extremely good December football 😁 I can’t even imagine the reaction of people if you told em after 2021 wild card that baker would be on his 4th team and the browns are in control of their own destiny with Joe Flacco at the helm

I know he practiced in limited capacity, but it’s gotta be a smoke screen. Don’t really get the advantage other than browns waste time watching tape on Lawrence over other things. They are in too good of a position to risk their QB aggravating his ankle in December - with Blake Hance against Myles Garrett in shitty Cleveland weather. Can’t imagine you can play on a high ankle sprain very well in less than a week.

Cincy has it very tough, and week 18 there will probably be like a home game with 90% browns fans. Texans/colts play each other, and some of the other hunting teams play each other which makes it a bit easier. I’d we take down the Jags, things look very good for the Browns. If not then we can probably still squeak in with 10 wins.

I’m sure it’s just smoke and mirrors, doesn’t make the most sense since it seems so obvious to everybody that it’ll be Flacco…but like Kevin said why name a starter when they don’t have to. Joe had some incredible throws, like the skinny post to cooper - that’s a throw that even the elite QBs don’t complete at a very high percentage. He’s the guy and Kevin is probably giddy he can open up the playbook - as evidenced by the most downfield throws since he’s been a coach

Seems like copper practiced today as a full participant but hasn’t yet cleared protocol, potentially a good sign he may be clear by Sunday though. And neither team naming the starting QB until game day, but I think the browns decision is a little more obvious than the jags.

We wouldn’t seed ahead of them as long as they are winning their division. Which they may not, Texans and colts are both 1 game behind them. its great Pittsburgh is blowing the games they thought would be easy. It’s crazy the cardinals and pats are the difference between them being 9-4 and 7-6 Though we will also fall out all together probably with a loss to the Jags this weekend. Huge game for the browns.
