Thanks, Hack. You're always a class act and a good sport, especially through all your years of dominance.

Now go teach your WRs how to act.

Ok I live out of state... I dont even know who this guy is. Never heard the name. Him and back up Oline guys stepping up was huge. Thank you Browns TEAM

Obviously he's getting a bunch of flack on social media, but Ryan Clark was the one that really smacked him upside the head.

I’ve actually been waiting for us to deploy Chubb more in the pass game ... I think Stefanski is pretty calculated with installing and building the playbook

I’ll expect a few other things this week too

Makes me wonder if the roles were reversed (Covid issues for coaching staff, 3-4 important starts, no practice, OL played who only joined the team that morning etc) would this clown be using it as an excuse for the Steelers loss?

Those are some eyebrows.

They will be like Andy Rooney's in 40 years.

I wonder if he's related to Wild Bull Curry, one of the dirtiest wrestlers ever.

Never understood ridiculing the team that just beat you. I always went with the thought that if we got beat, I want that opponent to take it all, and show that it took the best to beat us.

100% Agree with this. That is the mentality I take.

Grateful that has to be one of my favorites of all time~~!!

Literally has me in tears!

More loser cope.
My sister told me this is like a teen girl saying "yeah, she beat my ass but they're feuding with whoever and she'll beat her ass"
They just need to STFU at this point. It's making them look worse

j/c...

Heads up: replay is on tonight at 8PM

On which network?

NFL Network

Rewatching that 1st quarter without the stress of the unknown ... is FUN

What I didn’t really notice: how FIRED up we were as a team. We were flying around ... much like what we’ve all wanted to see for two decades. We certainly were the hungrier team

When you get to the part where Redwine intercepts a pass, watch what Karl Joseph delivers to Pouncey at the end of the play...That's what I love about passionate gritty players.

I heard the full game is on youtube.

i recorded this version just in case ... I’d like to be able to keep this one!

1. Baker Mayfield- 90.5
2. Jack Conklin- 82.1

6. Kareem Hunt- 71.2
7. Nick Chubb- 70.5

Thanks! For some reason I couldn't get it to copy and paste.

same... just re watched the first quarter... un real...

You know as clips of the game from various players and angles have been coming out... there's a lot of them where you see Steelers get manhandled.

Years ago, a good friend decided to join the Dawg Pound when the Browns made The Return. I told him what it meant to be a fan of this team, what the history was, and what he should expect, going forward. I also remember telling him: "There isn't a single one of us who would ever blame you if you decided to bail. It's a Browns thing for us; most folks can never understand." Michigan native, he was U of M, but never really the Lions. Never really had a team. So, when CLE came back, we'd already become good friends, and he decided to go all-in. I'm really happy for him.

There was a time when I'm sure I'd have lost my mind at a playoff win like this one. For some strange reason, I've been amazingly calm and just- so, so... satisfied.

This team has been more than just a joy to watch. They've been an inspiration. They started from less than nothing, beat back CoVid, beat the odds, beat 12 opponents, and did it as a Pod Against The World. No one would have given them a chance. Which is exactly why they are so special to us, and why I'm so amazingly calm.

From the time this team played better than .500, I've looked upon all of this as gravy. Every game has been a gift. Relevance in January: priceless. And it's not just that we're here... it's how this team got us here.

This team's only viable path to reach this point required them to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers not once, but twice... in successive weeks. First, at home, in the reg season finale, and one week later, in the house where PIT has humiliated Little Brother for years. Hollywood studios would laugh this script out of the conference room for lack of believability, but them's Our Browns, right?

Which frames Sunday night's tilt in the starkest of terms for us Browns fans:

If ever there was a culture-changing inflection point, the past 2 weeks were the fulcrum under the teeter-totter. And look what these young men did with the balance point. Oh, my goodness. My goodness.

_____________________

So, I'm not jumping up and down, losing my mind.

Instead, I'm looking at what they've done, who they are, who is in charge/place... and I'm finally seeing what I've always been preaching.

Let us not forget one important factor in this incredible season: this was Year One.

I'm feeling calm satisfaction because it looks like the beginnings of a long stretch of years that sees CLE playing in January. Stretches like those are what bring multiple Lombardis to a club.

Those last 2 games were an exorcism.
That last game was catharsis.
This team is finally for real.

No matter what happens beyond this past 2 game stretch, something very important happened: Browns made Steelers cry. Not Steelers fans- Steelers players.
Tilt/Shift.
New reality for the AFCN

I saw on social media that Joe Haden had not won a playoff game while with PIT. I did not know that. Kinda funny.

And I remember Schobert tweeting after the 1st weekend of the season about how nice it was to finally be 1-0 in his career (JAX won game 1). I wonder if the warm-and-fuzzy from that win has worn off yet?

Look at guys improving. Role players like Goodson and Taylor and Takitaki ... pretty cool

we’ve waited two decades for that

Classic "break-up" image too, as we found out the next morning.

Pouncy: "I just feel like we've drifted apart. You don't seem to understand, maybe it's over your head."

Maybe Ben thinks they're purty

Nervous Browns Fan Still Worried Team Going To Blow 48-37 Lead Over Steelers From Days Ago

WARREN, OH—Pacing around his living room continuously and nervously downing pretzels, local Browns fan Max Symanski was reportedly still worried Wednesday that the team was going to blow a 48-37 lead over the Steelers that it had held since Sunday night. “They always do this. They get your hopes up by building this lead at the end of four quarters, but they always give it away,” said Symanski, who told reporters that he knows better than to relax just because the Browns have built up a double-digit lead, the game ended, and the team has officially moved on to the divisional round. “They already let the Steelers crawl back into this after being up 28 points. I can tell that by Thursday or Friday they’ll get complacent, give up a couple late touchdowns, and get knocked out of the playoffs. We haven’t won a playoff game in 25 years, and we’re not about to start now. This organization is always the same.” At press time Symanski was screaming at his TV after learning that acting head coach Mike Priefer had taken all the starters out of the game with 0:00 still left on the clock.

funny stuff

Rewatching the game from last night confirmed something I saw live that never got addressed. It was on the Steelers first TD drive, 4th and 1, low snap, Connor up the middle, stopped short. Both line judges ran in showing a spot short of the first down. When the nearside judge realized they had not gotten the first down, he gradually inched his body toward the first down until he was sure he gave it to them. The other line judge was like "whatever", but they were literally standing a full yard apart. Inside 2 minutes and no replay. Chris and Al didn't want to bring it up because they were crushed by what was happening. I've never heard two sportscasters wish for a comeback so blatantly as those two.

I mean for those who don't believe that certain teams get special treatment, go and rewatch that play. Insanity.

I saw that and I agree. I could not understand why they did not review that because it appeared he was stopped short or at least stop the clock and measure, the definitely spotted the ball further up than it should have been.
