I realize how things get over-dramatic on a game thread, but I read disconcerting things about Wills today (didn't get the tv stream). Any comments about him that YOU saw? I think wills played as well as all the other O linemen on both teams, which means to say they were all terrible, overall. Both defenses were playing some inspired football, but our o line got it together in the 4th quarter.

Chubb and Hunt are the best RB combo in the league period!
7-3 sounds really good.

I think we should all thank the eagles coach for somehow losing his brain at halftime. They had over one hundred yards rushing in the first half. Come the third quarter they completely abandoned their run game.
It was good to see stefanski realize that stretch running against a defense with that kind of speed was not going to work. In the second half we started running the ball right at them and started having more and more success.
Our overrated run defense worries me alot.
I like Harrison alot but he just cant stay healthy.
Speaking of not healthy did the Phillips kid even play? Dont remember seeing him out there.
Sheldon Richardson HAS to stay healthy, he has been our second best defensive lineman behind garret.
Let's hope this upcoming week does not follow suit with the last two weeks and we have no positive covid tests

1-0 this week.

Ward is a Pro Bowler.
I'm happy.

Special shout outs to Nick Chubb for his Derrick-Henry-worthy straight arm / right cross to the D-lineman on his long run, to Mack Wilson for de-cleating Goedert after the big TE tried to trample Ward, and to Kareem Hunt for his end zone leap.

Being at the game quite often doesn’t give you an ability to really comment on the game because there’s so much you don’t see.

Our STs are night and day from last season. We’re not giving up big returns, our kicker is nailing them. Had one blocked today but that was a great play by their guy.
Sendejo gets criticized a lot. - usually with good reason - but he made a couple of solid open-field tackles to limit yardage. I hope Harrison is ok.

Well, this was a game of half ass team vs half ass team, we were the better half ass team, we should have been better by, at least, another TD, we are a better team than Philly, currently. A good win, all wins are good but I just think 7-3 seems like an illusion to me.
We have Chubb/Hunt and Garrett/Ward (I know, Garrett did not play today and may not play next week?), but those guys can't do everything, we need to get them help, I'd say on D and ST more than offense. I am happy the Rats lost, pputs us in 2nd place, for now. I'm not trying to trash the team, just speaking my honest opinion. We have talent but I think we still need a bit more work to be a real threat for the Super Bowl.

Listened on a.m. radio, while reading the game day chat, and checking they play by play on yahoo sports. I don't want to name names, but someone sent me a link to watch the game. Since I was on my office computer, I decided to not use that link.........paranoid about viruses.
So, did anyone else scream "Takitaki TD"......and have their spouse accused them of speaking in tongues? Or was it just me?

Post of the day goes to Throw Long in the second gameday thread on page 3: BROWNS CAN NOT WIN THIS GAME!
I GUARANTEE IT! ... My device crashed 30 m ago, Ya the Browns were playing bad today, most units, i'll stand by that statement. Prove me wrong in that quote, I don't care, I'm too busy smiling. 7-3 a lot of things to clean up. Going to have to have a PASSING GAME in ordre to continue success. I mean, Years like this, don't come along every year, it's super important to figure out how to play good football. Am I the only one, who, Every time they Hit Wentz all day, I said, OH Lord stay healthy Wentz, because if he goes out, the bad guys might wise up enough to learn just how bad Wentz was to leave in there.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I can’t believe how bad Carson Wentz is. He has no protection but he also makes horrible decisions. What was that pass to Jeffery on the Ward INT?

Yea he was bad. I didn’t really see anything impressive from him at all.
I’m wondering how hard Dan Orlovsky is gonna defend him tomorrow morning.

To everybody please enjoy the moment.
I am not going to look it up. But 7-3 feels like many moons away.
Hell just to be above 500 ball is like pixie dust.
Have no idea about the future. 1-0. Is the right approach. =========================================================
Today was tip your hat day to the defense minus Myles. Vernon and others played large. We won the turnover game.
I will savor the Chubb stiff arm for a long time. "get away from me" ugh.
Baker did enough. Nothing pretty for sure. He left some easy td's out there. He fumbled. He did make some key throws. But the most important stat is victory.

Just you, Arch. Honestly, your spouse never accused me.
Probably should have. I think it is the only memorable thing he has done. My memory is so-so with help, but I was proud to watch him bringing home the pigskin! I wouldn't want to be Went in this game and certainly not on Monday morning. Good job, D!

I agree ... during the days of 0-16 or 2-14 and the like we dreamed of these days

1994. I told my wife after the game "This is the best record we've had after 10 games since before we were married." She didn't believe me and started in on her phone when it popped up on the tv "Best record after 10 games since 1994." I said "Hey, just look at the tv, and don't doubt me on browns facts."

Until you have coaches tape it is hard to tell.
Lots of problems on the OL. Cant't tell the receivers routes.
It is easy to say he is holding the ball to long. But until you see real tape that shows the routes?
The safety was on him for sure. That is look - throw or throw away.
I have not watched their games. His numbers are terrible. Hard to say if that is the whole story?
He got paid. But he is performing up to pay grade.

Please help me, I'm very glad we won....BUT, how was Baker's fumble on 5 yd line not a fumble. Did they blow the whistle because forward progress was stopped. The replay I saw, Phil guys held him up and stripped the ball.....what happened?
