We showed fight, PJ threw two dumb picks but he took us down for the go-ahead score.
Great D! Ford had a couple nice runs at key times in the game, great team win. 3-2 after beating the supposed best team in football.

this is the kind of signature win that gives teams swag and propels them to better things. Lets see

Biggest upset of the NFL season so far. Hardly anyone, including me, gave the Browns a chance. Thank you to Jim Schwartz, the defense, Hunt, Ford, and Jake Moody! GO BROWNS!!!!!

We won despite Walker's horrible passing! I never want to see him dropping back again. I'd rather have DTR but I'll give Walker a (very) little bit of credit for at least not losing his nerve. The 'D' played great, especially Tomlinson and the LB'ers. Stephanski called a better game this week than last. The officiating was absolutely horrendous (for both teams). Get well soonest DW; we need you at your best next game....

maybe the NFL gods gave us this win to balance out the fact we never should've lost to the scrubby steelers

Football is a game of inches, and the Browns won today by about 8 of those with what may have been a tipped FG attempt in the waning seconds of the game.
Offensive Observations: The Jet Sweep needs to be swept from the playbook and into the trash. The Browns simply do not have the talent to make this play work. Stinkfanski is like an alcoholic who can't resist a drink once they've generated positive effort. The HC/OC still has the worst clock management skills in the NFL. Poor use of timeouts, giving opponents free clock killers and leaving too much time on the clock for possible comebacks. PJ Walker was pedestrian, but it was enough. IMO Pick 1 was completely on him, Pick 2 was an uncalled PI on SF. Amari Cooper is a stand up player. David N'joku is under used; when he should be Target 1, Stinkfanski uses Bryant...using other teams as examples, when other teams have a #1 TE, they use them even when they're expected, and they succeed. Jedrick Wills just needs to go home and never show his face on the field again. He can't open holes, and he can't stop holding because he gets beat.
Defensive Observations: A very solid game except for the first SF drive and the last. Dalvin Tomlinson was a monster today which was great since Myles was getting chipped and double teamed. The DB's are still a bit handsy and flags flew like crazy today. While the unit doesn't get a lot of TO's, I can accept that because they've been lights out tackling most of the time.
ST Observations: We still don't have a return game. Bojorquez punted well today, but there was one touchback that should've been a coffin corner spot. D-Hop pretty much saved the game even with an early miss.
Somewhat of an Ugly win, but with a late pickup QB so much better than what was expected and I'll take the upset any day. Browns beat the spread and won as Underdogs (There's No Need To Fear! - Wally Cox)

Agree that Tomlinson had a great game, very disruptive. We got after Purdy, made his life difficult. I won’t bash PJ after he took us down the field to take the lead. Wish he would run it, or at least slide, esp. when we needed to eat some clock.

Glad to know the Browns coaches and players have more emotional intelligence and stable temperament than the lot on here. Going back to reread last week's posts.
Should be a doozy.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

First and foremost, and the only thing that matters: We won.
Other things:
The ref's were, uh............
First drive by SF? Didn't take long to score and embarrass our D.
However, after that drive, our d started to bring it.
The penalty on Njoku's td, hurt. The missed field goal hurt.
The O wasn't great, but good enough, especially with a practice squad qb, Bitonio out, etc.
Browns WON!

Already have people saying the refs cost the 9ers the game. The refs didn't kick that last shanked field goal now did they? Glad he was from TTUN Ha Ha They will say it's because they lost Samuel and McCafferey....well keep in mind we were without Chubb and Watson too.

I had to take my dad into the hospital to see our mom .. we left right after the SF go ahead TD
Long story short, there was a lot of elation listening on the radio
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

We have a 3 point lead in the 4th qt. We are playing a quarterback who last week was on the practice squad.
The defense is playing lights out. We are in our territory. 4th down and knucklehead Greg Olson makes a federal case out of why we should go for it???
STFU. If KS would have gone for it; I would have called Haslam begging to fire him.
* side note.
I refused to watch the final kick. I left the sound on and went into another room and heard the call.
I cannot think of another game that I was more sure we would lose. I gave us 10% chance.
Still in shock.

Opposing kickers had been dynamite against us the past three seasons. The numbers were ridiculous. Until today, and today is what matters, ohiostatebrowns

Same here Bone and all good points. Never thought we had a shot and that last kick, I figured he would make it no problem. So glad I was wrong on all counts.

For once, the terrible calls went our way. What???? The niners never should have gotten that int and play on the five yard line, because the intercepting player about body slammed Amari Cooper before he got that, and there was no flag, The Browns, if this game were reffed right, refereed correctly, held the niners to ten points and 0 in the 2nd half.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Dalvin Tomlinson was awesome today

I thought the 49er Int that led to the final SF TD was actually PI.
A great win. Unexpected.
Those in the gameday forum should read their words.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!
