If only we can stop treating 1st quarters like a preseason game, we might not be in this tight games

Watson just seems like a slow starter. Got to get him going faster.
Very true. Thankfully we still have an amazing run game to help with that.
Shout out to Ford, went for 107 with a 6.3 average! We had 178 as a team!

- WOW what a win - Credit to our OL down the stretch .. I wasn't happy with the (backups/2nd backups) OT but they really made their mark - Credit to Watson. He made some BIG plays for us .. .the throw to Cooper and the big run - Credit to Ford. He has earned more and more respect - Defense was huge down the stretch. We had them in hell after that big pass to Andrews
"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."
Only thing that would have made it better is if someone would have pulled a gardocki
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne
I will be honest. I thought the missed extra point would come back and bite us. It has happened so many times. I am 72 years old and have seen it way to many times. Glad I was wrong.
Football the rest of the week is just nicer to watch after a win

So at the 14-3 score, and the Browns showing as much life as Jimmy Hoffa, I bailed on the game. I went Lazy Boy shopping for my 91 year old Mom to see if I could find something with the features she wants. So disgusted, I didn't look up a score or nothing. Fast forward to about 4:05 I get home and tune into the game fully expecting some 45-3 type score and see 31-30 with the Browns apparently playing some actual ball. And of course, the Dayton Double Miracle unfolded before me, Browns pull out a win and the Bengals lose.
Moral of the story: You're all welcome. Seems like whenever I watch every millisecond they stink, but when I give up, they win. Go Browns! Steeler's Week inbound.
Who was our LT today, Christian #64? Where did he come from? Played not too bad....
He is a former 2018 3rd round draft pick by the Redskins. At that time, Bill Callahan was the Reskins OL coach and Assistant HC. He has battled injuries throughout his career.
Safe to say, Callahan had a large say in the Browns signing Geron Christian.
In October 1968 we went into Baltimore and beat what was at the time, considered to be the best team in the league the Baltimore Colts 30-20 and they were until the Super Bowl. We did the same thing today.!!! Hats off to my Cleveland Browns.
David Njoku just dragging defenders for extra yards.
The entire Oline on that last drive....especially the play where they pushed Ford ahead for an extra 10.
Hopkins for overcoming the miss and kicking the walkoff.
Z Smith for just steamrolling that OT. Good God that was awesome!
DW overcoming early mishaps and showing leadership......making plays when it counted. Looked like he was hurt while doing it.
Miles Garrett for having Lamar run scared all day, and the 2 consecutive sacks that seemed to just take the steam out of their offense.
Amari Cooper for just being himself and making clutch catches.
Newsome and the other defenders that circled Hopkins after the missed XP and looked like they were saying something like, "don't sweat it, we'll get you a chance to make it right". That's a team.
What a game.

Great win in every sense. More later but if we're talking heroes, none bigger for me than Mike Ford for his big hit on Lamar.... And Hopkins. I can honestly say I thought he was going to make the game winner and felt 100% confident, well... 97% for sure.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
just watching the final drive is so clutch .. Watson made 2 really good throws, had a good run, the OL stepped up, and then Hopkins nails it

I agree completely about almost all of the posts, but one particular thing caught my attention, and it shows teamwork and attitude.
During the replay of the Ford run that turned into a scrum, the network replayed it to focus on Bitonio coming in late and pushing the pack for more. I then noticed this small body, #8, Elijiah Moore in the middle of that group of about 10 huge guys, driving his legs doing what he could. Now that little 180 lb receiver could have just taken the end of the play but he had guts and played to the end.
Rugby scrum indeed, & good that Ford kept churning his legs to give our big fatties a chance to push the pile. We out-muscled them on that play. Or out-gutted them.
Hopefully people will get on board and believe in this team. They showed incredible heart to fight back and win the game.
Took it away from the team that everyone was ready to crown. Lamar MVP. Nice pick six with the game on the line. Ravens where did your great great defense go?
Where was their great defense when we gave them point blank TD's. All they had to do was stop us. They could not stop us. 24-9 in the third quarter all you had to do was stop us.
Missed the xtra point. All they had to do was stop us. They could not stop us with their folks in their seats.
They couldn't stop our runner while we pushed him down the field. How did it feel Ravens to watch the clock run down while we lined up "The Game Winner."

During after game interviews, bit Stefanski & Watson said he "hurt" his ankle or foot in the first half, had it retaped at halftime and played the 2nd. When asked if he thought about not going back in he said there was no question, I was playing.

I'm beginning to embrace the D Watson theme music, Urgent by foreigner which originally was a fitting farce.
I've never seen a Browns team win Twelve in the reg. season in my memory, and, that goes back to 80 something? but, , ... except for, Jax, Houston, maybe Pittsburgh
uh eh eeeh, the Browns, MAYY not end up ninth in the afc, uhhh, twelve wins, ehh MIGHT be possible, who knows.
They ain't won nothing yet, but best part of 6 and 3 is a chance to be seven and 3 next week.
This team had a 2 point lead in the 2nd half in Pittsburgh on Monday night football, 8 weeks ago.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.
It was a "no way are we going to win this " after the first few minutes. I was wrong, and am happy about being wrong.
I was ready to take my ball and go home at 14-0 also, amazing win and I guess that's why we make ourselves suffer and keep watching on those dark dreary blowout days.
Finally one paid off to keep watching. Thank you Browns.
all divison affair next week. Ravens v Bengals, Browns v Steelers...
Ravens, Browns, and Steelers all 6-3, Bengals 5-4
so by end of next week, one team will be 7-3, one team will be 6-4, and there's potential for the other two teams to be 6-4 or 7-3 and 5-5 unless ties... and that would make this even funnier
great postgame speech from KS ... next week is big again
