DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2023 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 33 Ravens 31 Postgame Thoughts

You should see all his posts about Garrett. One of the most dominant defensive players of our generation, a HOF talent, and this guy thinks he's nothing but a 1 move loudmouth.

we missed Jim D yesterday

Word. That's football.

Some miscellaneous random thoughts, since most have covered various highlights:

- Something I'm interested in, however we probably won't know the real reason. (this is a good thing) What got into our players attitudes this game? Was it a coach or player speech? Did a Ravens player tell a Browns player a Yo Momma burn? We see some celebration and etc in games. However, the team played like bullies yesterday. Tillman had a pancake block where he stood over and taunted Van Noy. Teller had a pancake block on #99 and Hudson stood over top of him flexing. Ford had the hard hit on LJ by the sideline. I really don't remember seeing our players with so many taunts/flexing over a block...and I don't have a problem with that. Though, while it was happening I was laughing but also yelling - the play is still going on!

- I don't remember seeing this many games in a row where a D-lineman from either side bats a ball for an int (or in last weeks case an offensive TD)

- Watson had some big time throws, one I want to highlight is 2nd and 19 2:22 left in the game down 31-30. DW with a 17 yard completion to Cooper to make it a manageable 3rd and 2. Big time throw, big time moment.

- The Ravens drive after the fumbled punt by Proche was annoying as hell by the Refs with the penalties. We stopped them! No. TD Ravens! No. Interception Browns! No. The frustration of all the up and down emotions, I was to the point where I said out loud, just give them the damn TD so we can move on with the game already.

I've seen a lot more balls batted by DL too .. it must be an emphasis by DC's. It's almost like they want them volleyballed up

The best part about the "tush push" or the "scrum" was tiny Elijah Moore in there pushing and Hudson's reaction after.

Really awesome to see the toughness and resiliency of the team. It's fun to root for a team like that.

We have legit tough, not soft guys on this team both mentally and physically in Hunt, Njoku, Cooper, Delpit. I think they are great culture setters and instill toughness in the rest of the team.

I have not understood the Ford criticisms to date as he has been really really solid. Now all of a sudden people want to sing his praises. Guy has been really good all season. Not perfect, not Chubb, but a real NFL running back. I think people lose sight of that.

100% blessing in disguise the extra point was missed. Browns would have played for OT.

My cousins were complaining about Myles before those back to back sacks. His PFF grade.was meh. But I thought he looked more explosive than ever coming off the ball. The issue is he sometimes guesses pass when it's run and you can run straight at his gap. Those back to back sacks were huge. He's making so many game impacting plays this year. He's being talked about today as MVP. Not DPOY but MVP. Well deserved and it's awesome to see the best players make the best plays when it matters most.

Division is there for the taking. I don't think Schwartz or Stefanski will let the team get ahead of themselves.

A lot of sports radio today was about how the Ravens gave the game away. For the first time since 1999 Browns have a legit good team. The 2020 covid team caught lightning in a bottle. This is different.

I love how I didn't see any kids in the locker room and how Stefanski DID NOT give them today off.

Onward. Let's win the division.

I noticed Moore pushing the pile as well. I know he has taken a lot a grief, but I want to re think that now.

Hudson gets a lot of grief as well, but he and Teller were in the middle of it. Botino got a few more yards once he joined.

I did not see players as much as a team that was willing itself to win. Playing hard, all out.

Same with the reaction to the missed XP by Hopkins. Numerous players approached him and I guess their words were you saved us before, now we will give you a chance for redemption… or something like that.

Hopkins got his chance and the Raisins lost.

I did not like the Ford stat bashing of last week, and thought he played well.

There is a difference between giving a game away and getting beat. The Raisins got beat by a better performance by the Browns.

Remember the Jets game last year? That was a give away.

You’re off the fire the coach train? Off the Watson stinks train?

That pile was beginning to stalemate until Bitonio threw his big ass into the mix.
Watch the 'momentum change' when he got in there...


Browns showed right then that they wanted it more.
Elves earned that win.

.02

that was one of my favorite plays.. its why you need big WR in the run game too.. I can't stand Van Noy and it made it even sweeter, and then he looked even worse trying to start something because he got laid out and picked up an unsportsmanlike.

I loved seeing that Raven get his clock cleaned. Really glad Tillmann didn't stand over him and "taunt" him after for a penalty. Also loved it when he headbutted Tillmann for a 15 yard penalty.

That was all on our guards, too. Watch the pile after Teller hits it, and then watch it again after Bitonio hits it.

I heard we can get a sixth rounder for that kind of play

I heard that he would first had to have a season catching for over 800 before they would give a sixth rounder for him.

Njoku wins the angry run of the week

I'm almost scared for the Bengals. Ravens are going to eat them alive after their loss.

Hopefully, the Bengals can punch them in the nose too. We’ll see.

Here are the numbers of the Browns players who were involved in the play that I call "The BIG PUSH"...#s- 34, 85, 19, 8, 64, 66, 77, 55, 75, 2 & 4.

I had to rerun the video a few times to identify all the Browns players who were involved in that play and I was able to identify all 11 players on the offensive unit. Any more numbers and the Browns could have been flagged for too many players on the field.

IMO, that play was symbolic of the type of effort the Browns needed to win the game...it took the entire team..!

JMHO, Hope he was coached HARD for his STUPIDITY. We could have EASILY gotten a taunting call- small things matter and as a 3rd round BUST so far, he sure as heck shouldn't gloat because he FINALLY contributed......GO Browns!!!

The TEAM should fine him for STUPIDITY.

It was brief he looked down at him as he was stepping over him. Not really taunting.

Kyle is amped up!

Watch it in real time. It was very quick.

Maybe Tillman was afraid he knocked him TFO, you know, showing concern for a peer. 😂

Is that Clowney running in after the play is over,? Where was he? That play took forever so maybe he went into the locker room to take a leak when Ford was first hit, came back out and saw it still going forward.

I was being sarcastic, mac. But you could be right. Although he was probably surprised he brought some noise to Von noy

If it wasn't, it was very close to a blindside block, and should have received a flag for taunting.

Can't recall if this was mentioned, but kudos to Ogbo Okoronkwo for the getting his hands up on that tip to allow the Greg Newsome Pick 6.

The dude has been worth EVERY penny so far.

Okoronkwo has been outstanding. I actually think Lamar bounced that pass of his helmet, making this the third game in a row in which the Browns have had game-changing plays doink off helmets.

He has been a MASSIVE boost; a force multiplier.

Ogbo has been absolutely awesome. Great signing.

As has Tomlinson, Smith, Hurst, and Harris.

And how about the development out of nowhere of Elliot. Seems like a light bulb went off.

I think Berry is doing an awesome job personally. See weakness, fix weakness.

Overall Berry has done a fine job.
