Oh man. So tough to watch.

This would have been called "The Timeout".

Another streak broken.

Another win.

Still in the hunt.

Ugly win but a win.

That was a rough game, except for the beginning. The last play on defense was great. Peppers rocked it out.

I can fall asleep with a smile on my face. "We won!"

You know something, we finally have a damn good team!

Rough game... found a way to win.... this team is growing some character...

our defense.

our defense held the broncos, who are 7th in rushing, to 32 yards on the ground.

2 picks. 2 sacks, including the WALK OFF SACK BY PEPPERS!!!

Coach almost lost the game. But he didn’t

Baker came back from a BAD 1st half

Peppers Balled Out

Chubb Chubb and More Chubb

Give the D Credit 2 Sacks 2 Picks Held Denver to 270 Yards

Peppers made the two biggest plays in the game. Taking Garrett out on obvious running downs proved to help slow their running game down

I thought the turtle offense was finally going to come back and get us. Alas, another win!

Very close to being same old browns by not kicking the field goal and negating the neutral zone infraction. Defense held. Got the job done.

Denver is a really tough place for a rookie QB to win. We won anyhow.

After the first two defensive stands and our opening scoring drive I was sure we were going to blow them out with ease. Then it seemed like Browns football for the rest of the first half. Then a back and forth battle. Then the crap spot, and "The Timeout" and I was sure we'd find a way to blow it. Nerve wracking to the very end. Great defensive stand to close it out.

I have to preach in the morning and I CAN'T SLEEP

Got that " Ain't won in Denver since forever " monkey off their backs! In fact, we're shoving a lot of different monkeys off our backs! Don't know what it means for the coaching decisions to be made.
William's winning makes it all the more crucial to get this right! Going to be scary...

I don't know when the last time I could feel like this was. The fact that we're finding a way to WIN games rather than lose them says a lot about the team and their character.

As for the timeout, it was the right thing to do because they were going to blow it up, but the timeout was called before the offsides, it’s not like Gregg saw it and still called it.

I’d second guess the 4th down call. I’d still go for it, but call a play action. Denver was selling out to stop the run. Slip the TE out after a fake block, boom.

Doesn’t matter, the D came up BIG. PEPPERS!!!!

Not sure what happens in the next two weeks, but for tonight, it’s grand to have won IN Denver. I remember that game in 1990 we won. Crazy to think that was 28 years ago.

Enjoying this.

Yet the whiners in the gameday thread kept telling us how much our D sucks.

A Win is better than a loss.

That was a rough game. I still have battered fan syndrome. I was waiting for the kick in the teeth, but it never came. We're still alive.

No matter. After this win, you know God is on your side. (I know you're secure in your faith, but I was beginning to think God lived in Denver.)

Why on the replay was njoku not down by contact in bounds with a live clock forcing them to use the timeout?

You do have a good team. Congrats, guys!!

We all have it but its fading ...

Refs need to be investigated. If not I will consider the NFL to be on par with the WWE and even though I will continue watching I will be sad in my heart knowing it's fake.

(I'm overly dramatic I know lol) Ok, time to be positive...

We are in the playoff hunt!!! IN DECEMBER!!!

Peppers had his best game as a pro. I still want him off kick returns, but he played lights out at safety.

Our pass rush was great 50% of the time. I think we sold out to stop the run and...

our run D was stout!

Baker had a rough game to start but when the time came he served up some horse meat pies!

Callaway, Perriman, Njoku and Higgins all had PRIMETIME catches. We have a receving corp!

Other than the one penalty Collins Sr. played a solid game!

Carrie struggled a bit but had the big time INT to get the mo back. I'd give him and Pepp gameballs.

BITONIO BITONIO BITONIO. Saved the best for last. The dude was a MONSTER today.

We have much to fix but I'm just gonna enjoy for now!

GO CHARGERS! GO PATRIOTS! GO REDSKINS!

I'll say this. In 2019, the AFC North is in play and there's now a possible favorite...

Yes, you're right, and I don't blame him. Just like I don't blame Byner for The Fumble. It just happened.

Games like this we ALWAYS lose in year past, maybe we are finally trending upward

Now reality is setting in...no Browns football tomorrow! boo!

He was...Denver was charged with their final TO.

Break open that beer cooler Balpeen, the Browns officially have avoided the 10 loss mark for the 2018 season



Now lets go root for everybody else who's got to win on Sunday to help the Browns out.

I saw a face mask on the long Chubb run with about 4 minutes to go that the refs missed.

The refs should have moved the Njoku spot up . Maybe not a 2st down but 4the and inches is very different than 4th and 1.5 yards.

We overcame those ref missed calls and won anyway.

I think we saw the Denver coach seal his fate at the end of the season. Kicking the FG instead of going for it on 4th and one played a huge role in losing them the game.

Heart-pounder.

Glad Williams went for it on fourth down, even though it didn't work. Loved how GW brought the heat on the last drive.

Baker made some bad throws, but straightened out in the second half, got the win for us.

That taunting penalty on Calloway was chintzy. Chubb wasn't getting a lot but he made that 40 yard run late, which really helped us out.

We are still alive in the playoff hunt, heading into game15.

And oh yes, I loved the fact we went into Denver and knocked them out - virtually - and beat Elway.

Denver still had a timeout left...at least on the TV screen was still showing it

Ugly game but we are still alive

I liked Baker calling out Drew Stanton as a mentor and a person he relies on to help him bounce back. For those that missed the post-game chat he mentioned Drew takes a bunch of notes and goes through them with Baker at halftime. That's really good stuff!

Go Browns!

Exactly!

Not Baker's best day but he is definitely changing the culture. We're starting to find ways to win these types of games instead of finding ways to lose them.

SUPER STOKED RIGHT NOW!!!!

Oh Hey Denver...we just beat you in your house. One more thing crossed off the list.

We have all the talent in the world.

Now we just need a bit more experience.

And then there is NO STOPPING US!!

"Faith springs eternal." Use it. Dress it up some. Unfortunately, I am reader and I need to read from Zephaniah tomorrow. Wow!

I am getting too old for these games. Great win!

We won!!!!

Facemask not called early in the game, BS taunting call on Callaway, delay of game not called, and after review didn't spot the ball where it was actually supposed to be. NFL officiating is horrendous.

Baker was struggling in the first half, I think the thin air had his ball sailing on him. Heard someone this week on the radio mention that it could happen.

Chubb just seems to get that run when you need it, been a long time since we had a guy like that.

Another bad streak wiped out. 6 wins on the season. We beat Denver in Denver.

Thee future is looking very bright
