DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2018 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 28 Falcons 16 Postgame Thoughts

Why do people keep saying there were no turnovers? There was a turnover on the poorly thrown gadget play to Baker. It was an INT. Just not on Baker.

INT on the trick play.

That play was a treat for the Falcons.

Looking forward to seeing the game on NFL Game Pass tonight.

John Dorsey is looking like a true genius!

Baker, Ward and Chubb!

The 2018 Draft will be remembered as the turning point for this franchise!~!

I'm not so sure he'll be here next year.

If he is he needs to be in the slot.

congrats on a great game!

EVE .... sometime in the 4th Q when it looked like a REAL strong probability the Browns were going to win - I thought of you being their and breaking your streak. Sure it was a GREAT game to be at.

To me, the PA throw out of our end zone to Callaway said a lot

Saw a lot of people tweet during the game about the call. Don't have any issue with the call. I have an issue with the decision by Hilliard to actually throw that ball lol.

Every year we rip the Browns for not emptying the bag of tricks in another lost season. So were going to rip them for doing it because it didn't work. I love our fanbase but wow

What's with all the hate on Landry?

It was a really bad throw with a decent throw it might have been a td.

From my POV, it's not hate on Landry, he's just being played out of position.

Loved how hard the defense fought in goal line situations today.

Team played a full game, and we got a win.

Yeah I agree the goal line stuff was awesome

That and Williams said that they were in a good defense conceptually speaking.

I love the call ... Not the results, but it is something that teams will be looking for now, and we can play off of it.

The stop that Peppers made was old school stop him in his tracks

yeah Peppers lit his butt up

- Great game to be at. Browns in victory formation. Wow, it's a rare sight.

- Outstanding game by Baker.

- Zero sacks. Great job by the OL and Mayfield getting rid of the ball quickly.

- Ward nearly had a pick 6

- Jamie Collins was motivated

- Chubb with the longest run in Browns history. He had a great game (it looked like Hollywood was directing Chubb where to cut while blocking downfield).

- TJ Carrie had a nice game. Got called on a bogus PI.

- Nice TD grab by Hollywood.

- Joe Thomas and Andrew Hawkins were having a lot with the fans. Great stuff.

- The team is functioning better without Hue and Haley.

- ST played well.

- Great team win.

* I haven't seen us play a game as complete as that one in years.

Baker was so decisive in his drop backs. Just seeing, thinking fast and hitting his man. I didn't want to draft him, boy I'm glad I was way off the mark with that one. I haven't felt this confident about a Browns QB since Bernie was playing for us.

Carrie and Ward did a heck of a job today against a great WR corps. Carrie got dinged for PI but it was a bogus call.

Our kicker's starting to nail the extra points with authority. I think he's starting to feel comfortable.

Chubb... what can I say? I worried about his blocking but he's a tough back to bring down, plus he's got breakaway speed.

They could have called three or four holds on the guys blocking Garrett. Ridiculous.

Loved the win, loved victory formation, now get some more!

Greg Williams needed 2 games to equal Hue Jacksons win total of his first 2 years. Kitchens called a game that had me excited to see the offense take the field.

WE have a young talented team that has responded to a bit more disciplined coach and a more innovative young OC. Baker and Chubb are taking huge strides. the young defense is studding out.


We beat a red hot Falcons team solidly today. We are 2 wins back in the race for that last wildcard spot. Houston is the only game left on our schedule that we should probably lose lol

Yea, Collins actually showed up today.

I also want to add that Ward may be the best cornerback in the NFL already.

Game in, game out...his guy does basically nothing.

Looks like we're headed in the right direction, just have to deal with the growing pains that our phenominal rookies are going to experience.

It's going to be a fun ride. :-)

Can anyone else explain why Myles Garrett wasn't credited with the sack when the snap sailed over Ryan's head, he recovered and Garrett tapped him when he was down? I watched it a couple times on DVR and he tapped him first before anyone else did

I have been critical of the offensive line all year but today they really had a good game. If the line can play like that the rest of the year we will be in good shape.
Baker looked like a seasoned vet.
Chubb had a great game.
Our defense bent but did not break. They held a high powered offense to just 16 points. Outstanding.
No dropped passes.
Special teams was solid.
Total team win.

With the way Landry's contract is structured, he will absolutely be here next year.

I don't get the hate either. Is he Antonio Brown? No. But, the Browns are in no position to be ridding themselves of actual NFL talent. It's nonsense.

Exactly.

What a great game to watch! Baker looked great from the start. I loved seeing the slant back in the playbook. Baker hit Perriman in stride for a nice gain as well as Calloway. His only bad throw was also a slant to Calloway. Best throw of the game had to be the TD to Higgins.

I was skeptical of Chubb when we drafted him but he really is proving that he deserved his draft status. Dude has way more of a top gear than I thought. I love his patience.

Ward may be a pro-bowler as a rookie. I didn’t hear Ridley’s name called while Ward was covering him until late in the game.

I don’t understand how some people can overlook Schobert’s contributions on this defense. He can ball and did again today.

I saw that as well. I think they gave it to Ogbah. I assumed that they missed the touch.

Locker room speech by Williams was like 5 words.

Didn't make a big deal about the win.

I like that.

I think we can see that dorsey knows what he’s doing, getting rid of players, trading hyde, not spending capital for a band aid wr

It wasn't recorded as anything I follow ESPN Stats all game it wasn't recorded as a run for Ryan or a sack it was like that play never happened

It should count as a sack. They could still correct it.

Bengals have to play the Ravens while we get to rest...they always play tough.

If I remember right, that play was on Atlanta's 2pt conversion attempt and if so it just goes down as a failed attempt.

I was in the end zone seating at the game, and, really concentrated on Greg Robinson for quite a few plays. He looked solid. Simple as that. The one hold he got called on was obvious, but not egregious.

The whole attitude of the team was confident. They played the best overall game I’ve seen in a long time.

The offense, with a few exceptions, was meat-and-potatoes football. And, it worked. Drive after drive, just simple, effective football.

I walked out of the stadium with a smile on my face. It was an alien feeling.

That sack was by Zettel

And more importantly an extra week for GW and Kitchens to put their stamp on the team.

It's a shame the dude won't play consistently in regards to his effort. He's smart, has a good read on offenses, and IMO could be providing a much bigger impact than he has.

It's also a shame Peppers doesn't play in the Golden Days of safety play, when they could actually hit. He stopped Coleman stone cold at the goal line.

On that INT Hilliard threw, I think the worst thing that could have happened was if baker caught it. Their safety would have lit him up. I don't have a problem with calling that play necessarily though.
