DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 48 Steelers 37 Post game thoughts

are the last of the demons exorcised?
Can we finally say we've actually returned to the NFL?

I think we can say that our reboot is finally complete.

j/c...

Thanks, Browns! Had not seen a playoff win since ‘95.

I just realized the Steelers lost 5 of their last 6 and we got them twice. Life is good.

thats not DVOA rankings

Just had a feeling.

Took a picture of my granddaughters in T-Shirts I bought them a year ago but never gave to them.

Posted it early this morning on my family thread.

People may disagree, but I don't give Ben too much flack for not getting up and shaking hands. That stare was a "this might be it" stare. Juju and his apparent protege Claypool should've been out there.

People were going bananas over the D, but you gotta do what you gotta do. That wasn't a prevent D, that was a Robert-Jackson-is-starting-at-outside-corner defense.

I'm no longer feeling like beating the Chiefs is impossible.

The Browns is the Browns!

I think certain doom-and-gloom-ers need to keep up the good work.

On one hand, I can agree with you about Ben. He may, MAY have been sitting there thinking "that was it, I'm done. Last game."

But on the other hand, showing class is just that: a sign of class.

Juju was probably thinking about his video, and claypool was just following his 'leaders'.

Guess what? The Browns won!

With this win the Browns are no longer playing for the past. They are now playing for the future.

Are the Browns the only lower seed to beat a higher seed in the playoffs NFC and AFC this week?

No. Rams won.

As well as the Ravens.

I really thought we had a chance to win before the game. I didn't think for a minute we would put 28 on them in a quarter. When the game got close I felt a little something inside but it quickly passed. I just had a feeling Baker was going to get us through!

Someone has to eloquently transcribe the events of tonight, and it has to be good.

Cleveland writers, I’m looking at you.

Replay on the nfl network right now

Michael Dunn had him a great game.

The image of Rothlisberger sitting by himself, dejected, was most gratifying!! He was probably thinking about where to go to find a college girl to console him.

A heroes welcome

Just watched the game. Was never comfortable but man alive - WE WON!

Baker played a good game - a few high passes, there was a couple of drops but he made plays when we needed and was for the most part accurate and making quick decisions. Massive kudos to the OL - they kept pressure at bay for the most part. Chubb and Hunt will give give any defense nightmares. I feel we need to keep Njoku next year. He makes some good catches most games.

The D benefited from some uncharacteristic errors but they did what they needed to. When youre down 2 starting CBs, they can get a bit of slack I don't think our LB corps is half as bad as some folk have made out - Taki with another pick, woot!

We didnt get much pressure on Ben but he looks like he is done. He would have made that far closer in years gone by and probably pulled it out for them. Conjecture, I guess.

This win shows this team has turned a corner, attitude and belief wise. I was expecting the worst but we beat a team with a great D, in their house. This is down to coaching, pure and simple. I hope the person who doesn't believe Stefanski has his fingerprints all over this was joking. This year and last - considering the circumstances with covid - is not even night and day, it's more striking.

Great team win. I feel we can score on KC. The D will need to turn the ball over for us to give us a realistic chance as they will score but MAN!!! Playoffs?? Win???? In Pitt??? That's a nice present to wake up to.

Hate to admit it but I’ve drank 20 beers and I’m completely sober right now. No way I can sleep tonight.

Enjoy it man. It's been 18 years - ive no idea how long its been since we won a playoff game. What time do we play next week?

Offensive play calling was better than it has been in a few weeks. Still think we need to run the ball more. I think maybe stefanski now can have confidence in alex van pelt as a play caller and hopefully let him do that permanently giving stefanski more time to deal with everything else going on in the game. Browns proved to me this is not thw same old browns.....

I’m watching the replay right now ... it feels way less tense watching our lead slip away haha!

I gotta give props to the OL ... Baker wasn’t pressured really one time all game.

Jarvis with some huge grabs and was undoubtedly our safety blanket

Visiting teams went 4-2

Rams won, Bucs won, Rats won......and THE BROWNS WON

Victory Monday. Sweet!

Oh yeah, I thought the playcalling was stellar. And it had to be to win this game. A couple of dropped passes and a penalty kept this game from being a total blow-out. And while I hate to say it, Stefanski makes some head puzzling calls every game, but VP kept everything on track.

Congratulations on a great win. Not much more to say. Good luck the rest of the way.

j/c:

I will be listening to Pittsburgh sports radio all day.

So far, it's been glorious.

Changing the Narrative, Culture Change, Monkeys of Our Back, And any other Stigma that has plagued this team since 1999, All That is GONE!, Go Browns.

Going live to Daryl Ruiter:

Great team win and can't think of a time when I enjoyed a victory more.

Let me be the 1st to Congratulate US we have been thru hell and we have never wavered this is as much our win as it is the teams.

No fan base deserves this more. Now the new Browns are going to begin to feel the electricity of Cleveland and their fans. It means a lot to be a Brown again.

Awesome! I remember on one of those shows where they interviewed the 1980 cardiac kids team, they said one of the things they remembered most were the fans at the airport greeting them when they returned from Cincy after clinching the AFC central.

It was so so cold that night and there they were, it was other worldly.. No city loves their football team more. This week it will be all Browns all the time.
