DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 24 Steelers 22 Postgame Discussion - PLAYOFFS!

For those who say we won ugly or that that game was excruciating, I'd say what we've been through over the past 18 years has been ugly and excruciating.

Joe Garagiola once said about MLB playoffs: no such thing as backing in.

Same deal in the NFL.

11 Wins, most wins since 1994!

If I had the authority I would name this quote of the year just for the reference to that movie. Since I don't, I will say "awesome post".

I feel happy for Joel Bitonio.

Pettine, Jackson, Williams, Kitchens, Farmer, Sashi, Dorsey, etc.

Dolphins only have the tie breaker against the Colts because,

The Dolphins beat the Raiders on that Thursday night, or other day night game, two weeks ago.

Where Fitzpatrick came in late, and where
Derick Carr scored with less than 1 minute to go

and in 7 seconds the Dolphins moved back down to field goal range.
And the Dolphins won on the last Field goal.

If not, then, maybe, (not completely sure)

then the Colts game vs Jaguars would not be even necessary for the Colts to have to win, for the Colts to get in.

well if they were tied by record of course.

This. Boom.

I didn't like it but it was consistent with the entire year...can't put teams away. Always comes down to the wire.

But we're in and that monkey is off the team's back. I think they play loose next week and surprise.

11-5 and the PLAYOFFS!!

What - no loser references this week.

We won that's what matters. It was a tough week for KS not knowing who we would have playing and who not. Our facility was closed 3 times this week so I'm sure it made game planning hard. I'm sure the players were feeling the lingering effects of covid and others were emotionally drained. Hopefully, we will get our guys back next week and be able to compete with their best.

I feel the same, friggin drained! I just layed down, I bet I Paced a couple thousand steps. It will never be easy for us, However I will be sporting the Browns Gear at work tomorrow. Go Browns

Almost.

First off.. Cut Sendejo! (gotta keep the lucky rabbits foot goin....)


-I can't believe how close Carlson came to blowin it! How Brownsie!

-Stefanski has a real pair on him. Letting Baker run for 2 yards to get the first down was the LAST play he should have called but...


IT FREAKING WORKED!!!!! PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of a joke, from David Cross, he makes, about religion, for some reason he makes a point by saying
" I can believe there's only two people on earth, blank, blank, and Joe Garagiola,"

and I don't know why he picked him, I don't know who the heck that is.

Indeed. Our offense did feel a bit constrained. Chubb looked like he was in for a huge day but we still ended up a bit more pass heavy than I cared for.

Jackson deserves a lot of credit. It wasn't a stellar performance, but the guy was resilient. I think it was awesome he was able to get the last word with that pass break up on the 2 pt conversion.

Karl Joseph had another really good game.

j/c:

Agreed Rish. We can't put teams away even the bad ones. It always comes down to the wire even against the bad ones. We always give up long plays and points right before the half and our tackling isn't good. We are in the playoffs and I'm as happy as anyone but we won't get far playing like this.

It feels really good to be waiting to see when we play next week while other teams are still fighting for spots

Going to be a great week at work.

Was going to be a really long week if we lost.

I feel like asking my boss for more work now!

We'll play when it's most convenient for Pittsburgh.

We won’t know until after the SNF game.

Isn't it a little early to be pulling an April fools day ?






What!!!! It's for real ?






Beat the Steelers to get in the Playoffs ?








HELLLLLLLLL YEAH !!!!








LET's Dance...

As soon as they announced we had lost 12 straight game 16s to the Steelers I was sure we were going to lose.

I don't disagree - but the D has had warts all season long and we were starting a CB who was playing in his first ever NFL game .... I'm just wondering what people's expectations are?

I am thrilled to be in the playoffs, really I am. And I don’t want to be a downer. Can someone make the case for why we have a shot at Pittsburgh and against Big Ben next week after we barely pulled this off? Gimme something to hang on to!

Maybe we’ll have more than one day of practice this week?

A belief in the good Lord and a lot of prayers!!!

j/c:

Thanks, Odell, for helping us get there. Worth every penny (and first rounder)!

The team was playing tight and too amped up with so much on the line. The players feel that black cloud and monkey on their back whether they admit it or not. They'll play loose next week. Everyone will expect them to win. We are going to get chip on his shoulder Baker.

I'm looking for a close game with a chance to win at the end if Ward is back.

Big bens elbow is done.

no that’s just saying that is when they updated the page. The times will be announced after SNF

I was watching the game highlights. Rudolph does throw a better deep ball than Ben at this point. At least that's what it seems to me.

Maybe I am being optimistic ... I think / hope KS was playing very conservatively (as in not showing new plays - not as in running most of the time) ..... I think next week you will see everything we have. It may come down to having Ward back? It may not matter anyways ... our D has serious flaws. But I think if we can limit TJ's impact - we have a serious shot.

Feels good to finally be in, we all deserve this!! I was hoping for .500 ball...and got a playoff birth!

I want to believe Ski has big brass ones, big enough to believe he we can win a game while handicapping ourselves.

ANY success we have in the playoffs has to go through Chubb (and Hunt). Chubb looked like he was tee'd up for a 200yrd day. I know it won't be that easy next week but our Run game is the center of this Offense, not Baker.

Did you see the Steelers play the last 5 weeks? Other than 1 good half against Indy, they were not playing good football.
