I just believe baker is better without OBJ is out there 

OBJ would have had an easy 80+ yards today had Baker been anywhere near on target. Ridiculous to pin this on Beckham

It was a fine call.  Should have been defensive holding, but Troy didn't let go while the ball was in the air.  If his hand was flat, then it would have been a non-call.

I agree. Nothing wrong with that call. 

Baker had half a dozen chances to put this game away and every time he shat it back to the defense.

Thank god they were as dominant as they were on that side of the ball, because no way Baker could have played “catch up” the way he was throwing. 
 

I hope he’s hurt, not because I hope he’s hurt. But injury can heal, and suck is just suck.

 Knowing the gipper I would expect him to prefer a donation to some sort of organisation or other. But I know he would have appreciated the guys getting together and raising a glass.

  I'll keep everybody posted on the calling hours.

WSS

I dont have the option of being there, but if there is something I can contribute to (a donation/flowers/whatever) I'd like to know too... And if there's a time folks meet up I'll drink alone up here in Canada at the same time with Gipper in mind and send some pics in. Maybe we could open the Tavern or something?

Being where I am, I never get to meet or talk to fellow Browns fans. This is the best place I've found to fill that void, with the most passionate and knowledgeable fans out there. I love all of it (even the asshole parts) and Gipper really was all of it all in one presence. I visit every day (even if I don't say much) and he was a big reason why.

Thank all of you for being that outlet for me. 

This isn't for real, is it?? 
 

That can't be.
 

Fuck. No words. 

If I’m reading the stats right, the Browns allowed the opposition to convert 22/27 fourth down attempts. That is atrocious. 
 

There’s a lot to clean up defensively, but thankfully, there’s a whole new defense. 

The Chiefs aren’t going 1-0, let alone 20

Don’t give the Haslams any ideas 

Zero interest in a Mayfield for Rodgers swap. Just so I’m clear. 
 

I’m just enjoying the trainwreck that is the Green Bay Packers: https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.si.com/nfl/packers/.amp/news/source-packers-signing-qb-blake-bortles

Baker is our guy. This doesn’t interest me.

Someone is trying to stir up controversy to knock us down a peg. It’s bullshit.

I love this pick as “boom or bust”. The Browns are in a position to take big swings at big upside and some of these guys will hit. We don’t know if Schwartz can catch or run a route. But if he can, he adds a unique dimension to the Browns receiving corps.

You didn't hear about that?  :

Earlier this offseason, a new proposal by the Kansas City Chiefs that called for the relaxing of jersey number rules was passed by NFL owners. Now, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, linebackers and defensive backs will all be eligible to wear single digits.

Oh I did. Which is cool, I think.
 

I also think Six will have something to say about it

With the new uniform number rules,  he could perhaps keep his number  6. 

Um...

I honestly thought they'd have to trade ahead of the Steelers to get him in the first round.

Berry and co are freaking BRILLIANT and have nerves of steel. LOL

traded ahead of the steelers in the SECOND ROUND and got him !

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT !!!

WOOOOOO!!! 

We got BOTH the guys I wanted at 26.

I am fucking ecstatic 

I’ll say Alim McNiell. 

I’m ecstatic about this pick. Didn’t think he’d be there.

Awesome

This draft year is focused on getting big fast dudes on our front four.

Thats it that’s all.  

When that happens...watch out.

I like this too. Is this what it feels like to have a competent front office? Because it feels pretty good

And there we go. Boom motherfuckers

The draft this year is gonna be easy. No gnashing at teeth over position. BPA

The backfield has been drastically improved 

Can’t quantify it, but Baker is better with Hollywood and Hollywood is better with Baker. It’s just a match and I’m happy he’s back to do it all again.

🙁 Sad to see Money Mitch leave. Dude did everything we asked him to. Sucks.

I know it's not likely... But I would lose it if he signed in Cleveland. Watt and Garrett together? Lights OUT.

I don't think some of you realize just how much yesterday was about certain things coming to fruition and not the Browns being "superior"

 Pouncey hasn't been "good" for a while and villanueva has always been overrated. The teams decision to start feiler over dotson was also ill-advised as dotson is better.  Shit happens, the Browns played well but this wasn't a "oh my God, we got owned" as much as it was the end of the line for some in the black and gold. Go back to that first snap. Again not trying to rain on parades. Enjoy your win.

 

Two days ago, the Steelers were Super Bowl contenders.

Today they’re trash. 
 

😆

Where’s Vagitron to tell us how the Steelers are SuperBowl bound and how the Browns suck? Betcha he’s doing his best impression of Roethlisberger on the sidelines after the game. 

I keep thinking I’m about to wake up. 
 

Best thing about this game for me was that I got to watch it with my son. 
 

The Browns are fuckin’ LEGIT. That is an against-all-odds gutsy fucking win. My heart is still pounding. God DAMN I love this team

Brutal
