bUt OmG tHe GaMe IsNt OvEr

Great game by the Browns today. Sloppy defense, but they made the stops when they needed them the most.

Mayfield was awesome. Jarvis Landry had a monster day.

Kitchens needs to stay. I'll leave it at that.

We have a QB.

great game today.

Baker....i dunno what to say. the guy is a beast. the throws he made today was beautiful.

Landry had a crazy game today. 1 rushing, 1 receiving TD.

perriman makes clutch plays for us. great find.

defense turned it up in the 2nd half. only allowed 3 points! that was huge. was finally getting pressure on Cam in the 2nd half, and randall with the pick to seal it off was the best way for it to happen!

Team win. Kinda ugly but a W is a W!
Good character/team building win.
D bent, broke at times but they did what was neccessary when needed. Some new toys here and there and this team rides to the top. About time...

Good game today, I had a feeling we would pull this one off.

The interception at the very end was much needed. I'm glad we won and I'm also glad the game is over. When the Panthers got the ball back? It made me nervous.

Still think we need to get our pass rush improved in the offseason. We also didn't have Ward today and that probably hurt. I would love to see another stud on defense somewhere in that front 7.

Great play by Baker Mayfield and the offense. We got away from the run a little, which stalled the 3rd quarter momentum. However, when we came back to the run and screens in the 4th, big plays opened up.

Defense held when needed. We need decent LBs.

Missed XP.

Botched final drive.

Mystery penalties.

Actualy penalties.

We were ALMOST the same ol' Browns, but then the D stepped up and closed it out.

I'll take it! Next year I'd like to see those other things fixed and close out the game properly like a good team does.

3RD VICTORY FORMATION IN 4 WEEKS! LOVE IT!

Nice goal line stand but the Panthers OC really screwed the pooch on that. We haven't been able to stop McCaffrey all day. How does he not touch the ball once in those 4 plays?

Refs dominated this game. Way to nit-picky for my taste. But I don't think they were unfairly biased against us. I think they were just bad.

Baker/Chubb - the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

We won!

Baker is "The Guy". No INTs today.

I love Chubb.

Landry had a great day but for the fumble.

Tackling was abysmal. But the D stepped up when they needed to.

Perriman was a great addition. I'm shocked at how well he's working out.

Collins is abysmal.

Great win against a good team.

Biggest thing is we still have all winnable games left. Going to be hard to let this staff go if they keep winning

I would say like other good teams this team did close it out like most good teams. Down by 3 we go and take the lead back AND add another FG, up by 6 we let them run the clock down themselves and got a turnover on downs. Then we take their TO's punt the ball and the defense gets an INT we kneel twice and poof a win. Exactly which part isn't what a good team does to wrestle back a lead in the fourth and take a win from their opponents? We held the Panthers to 3 points in the 2nd half. A good team wins games by any means necessary when they have to and I would argue we just saw the Browns do that today.

Offense was a problem in the OT game

Offense was a problem in the other OT game

Offense was a problem in the Steeler loss

Offense was a problem in some other games, the raider loss.

The offense was a problem today, if not the int, had just given the ball back because they couldn't get a first down.

I remember a game a few weeks back

I typed like, 3rd and 5, (other teams 3rd down) and on about 4 out of 5 occasions the Browns defense made a stop and got off the field giving the ball back to the Browns offense,

These were late 2nd half and 4th quarter drives.

THE OFFENSE
THE OFFENSE
THE OFFENSE

The Browns offense has got to become consistent, on NFL, against good played NFL defense, and it's not there yet!

consistency, running game, overcoming penalties,

making a play on offense.

Despite this big play, all or nothing, 3 and out plus a one play turnover for most of the entire 3rd quarter today.

If the Offense doesn't get consistent, they are going to be in a game that matters, and will come up short.

This team is getting better we hurt ourselves some today with Penalties and TO's but in the end they never quit and got the win ...

Baker was great 18-22 238 Yards 1 TD 0 INT's 126.1 Passer Rating

Jarvis Landry was great 2 Carries 54 1 TD 3 Catches 57 Yards 1 TD

Nick Chubb was very good today 13 Carries 66 Yards 5.1 Avg. 1 TD 4 Catches 17

Breshad Perriman made 2 Important catches for 81 Yards

Damarious Randall had the Game Winning Pick plus he had 8 Solo tackles and 1 Assist

Myles Garrett played great IMO also 4 Solo Tackles 1 Assist 1 Sack (Now Has 12 1/2) 2 Tackles for loss and 3 QB Hits

we had 2 TO's but we got the biggest one at the end and are now +9 on the season. I am looking forward to Saturday Night in Denver GO BROWNS

If the Bengals lose we are OUT of LAST PLACE

Another Thought.

Gregg Williams is on the HUE TWO YEAR VACATION PLAN

" the army, where we do more before 9 am than most people do all day"

" Williams, where we win as many in a 4 week span as you win in 32 plus"

Where is Chubb in the quest for 1000 yards?

Franchise QB - Check
Franchise DE - Check
Franchise RB - Check
Franchise DB - Check

When is the last time the Browns are in the playoff hunt 13 weeks into the season?

Nick Chubb 131 Carries 694 Yards 5.3 AYPC 7 TD's

+1

Thanks! Some work to do...

Yep but very possible with one of his monster games

SWEET!
We beat the Panthers, the Refs, and our own stupid mistakes!

KUDOS!

Baker is light years ahead of where anyone thought he would be!

we were 1-31 now we are 5-7-1 now thats a turn around !!!

If he gets to 1,000 yards this year it will be very impressive. He had very few carries first 3 or 4 games this year.

First winning record at home since 2007

That's with six starts and doesn't include today. Though one of those "non-starts" included his 92 yard run. (3 rushes for 105)

baker went 18/22.

and 3 of those were drops.

I think the Ravens won today, there's still a chance if a tie record that the Browns (having beaten the ravens earlier,) would have the tie breaker head to head to take the division from the Ravens, but they'd have to lose out.

If the stillers lose to the Raiders, and lose out, the AFC North is still within reach.

This team needs to win every freakin week next year

and go 8-0 in the division, the next 8 games, and take the AFC North, next year, and

and this year if they get enough help too.



They got themselves a pretty good quarterback.

ravens lost today bro

Yea and the drop by Higgins would have been for a TD.

Nice win.

Landry's fumble had me steaming.

Baker is proving worth the first pick

Miles was a beast

First half defense was looking horrible

Playing the spoilers is going to be fun

2007.

I didn't get to watch much other than the last five minutes, but I tried to follow on my phone and from that I got the impression that while the game was a tough one, it wasn't as close as the score. If not for that fumble that got turned into a TD for them, we'd have been in command much of the day.

Not that I have any aspirations to go anywhere but a playoff game would go a long way in our growth. Get acclimated to high pressure games. Ehhhh, who am I kidding. Waaaaay too much of a longshot.

Wow! What a great game! I got kinda scared there towards the end. But Randall went BOOM!

Just love this team, and I live to watch Baker play.

And there was a table of Panthers fans sitting behind me at the bar. At first I couldn't figure out who they were rooting for. Because they'd cheer for the Panthers, then they'd cheer for the Browns.

So I turned around and said something to them. And they were like Hey if you guys win it helps us because we want a new coach.

I was all good with those fans.

Good day today.

Well Good!
