Perhaps someone mentioned this weeks ago but I didn't realize until today that... Browns are going straight to LA after the Denver game vs fly west twice. Decent idea for team building. Hopefully doesn't make Denver a trap game. 2 straight divisions games, Thanksgiving week, plus travel for a week looming.

Denver is tougher than we thought they’d be, so I don’t see us taking them lightly. We’ve fought through a lot of stuff this season to get to 6-3, we shouldn’t take any team for granted.

We're 7-24 against Denver lifetime. I would never take them lightly especially at their place. The only team we've done worst against is Detroit with Baltimore a close 3rd.

The lack of adult coping skills among members in that group is ridiculous. It renders it toxic. It’s like trying to watch the game with a bunch of 8yr olds. I’ve put so many of the individuals on ignore 1/2 the posts are “you’re ignoring this user”. I feel like there should be 2 gameday threads. The adult table and the kids table. You throw too many tantrum and can’t keep your emotions in check, you get voted off the adult table.it’s just a handful of posters, we all know who they are.

Coming out of the AZ game, I had to hold my excitement. That win meant nothing if we laid an egg at Baltimore. After a horrendous 1st quarter performance the Browns played some good football.

We need 4 quarters of solid play this week. We need to dominate the Steelers. Not an easy task, but if we can avoid the turnovers it is definitely possible.

Time to start tightening up some things offensively, DW needs to find his groove and build off last week. If that happens we could be in for an exciting ride.

I didn't bother reading it this week. I sometimes do for some comedy relief. It's often times like reading something compiled by the chemically imbalanced. I've heard a lot of our players be trashed on that thread based on a single play before seeing how they actually perform in the game. I'm pretty sure watson was probably being trashed as well based on his first half performance. While it's true he had a very poor first half performance, the second half was a totally different story and he was a big part of bringing the Browns back for the win. It's a true reflection of what living in the moment looks like.

Can he play QB?

Would it hurt to try him out?

He can play Tackle

Wow.....and it's not even close! IMO, that is a meaningful statistic.

The biggest factor on the rest of the season will be if the D packs it in or not.

I hope they are saying get on our shoulders and we will carry the team.

I think a lot will depend on how the offense performs in this first 1-2 games. If the defense senses that the offense can be adequate enough, then they'll stay fully engaged

Well this is where we need to start developing our own culture and identity similar to the Steelers and Ravens. They are the only teams I know that do not pack it in ever, no matter what. Football is a psychological game. If teams don't believe in their coach or QB, their play reflects that. Steelers and Ravens are exceptions and the Browns need to start carving out that same identity.

I do find it encouraging that the team played so well even when Watson was playing poorly. They really believed in him despite the poor play, imo.

I don't see this D packing it in unless the O just continuously falls flat so much and so badly that we lose several in a row because of them.... and I just cannot see that happening, either.
This D is in it for the fight. They aren't giving that up.

I agree ... we can take some steps as an organization if we can continue to win over the next 8 weeks

No quit on this Defense!

New Mantra: "Badassery!" Say it along with me. Keep repeating it. We need it more than before. Go, Browns!

That's a pretty good looking pass and catch session.

If we sign him it can’t hurt. He’s capable plus he’ll be like having another coach for our young QB’s.

He looks like he's about to murder the guy taking that pic.

As long as he has that same attitude when facing our opponents I'm fine with it.

He's getting dialed in. Got that dawg in him....

Was hoping for foles but I'll take Flacco over ruining a 5th round rookie qb

he looks shell-shocked.

Something must be up on that plane because there are a couple people that are shooting looks in different directions.

LOL, I just noticed the look on the older gentleman in front of him. Maybe the "He's not real" girl was on this plane also.

Looks like he's flying coach. If we were for sure signing him, he'd be in 1st class

i guess outside of Brady, probably the best option.. he's atleast played recently, and he's very familiar with AFCN

He had a PFF grade of 67 in his first game with a new everything against the best pass rushing team in NFL.. I'd say he did alright.

It’s only one game but maybe we found a good OT. Keep our fingers crossed 🤞

I do understand what you're saying and it certainly is a small sample size. But on the other hand it was against the Ravens which has a very good D. I wouldn't feel nearly as good about his performance last week if it had been against a poor D.

I agree strongly. He'll be a player to watch this week against another tough D.

That's got to be photoshopped...

j/c...

This might go down as an historic defense when it is all said and done.
