Not a single player on this team that is hard to root for, they all seem like good dudes. That’s kudos to KS/Berry and the culture. It’s easy to root for these guys and they seem to really love it here

way to go browns ... well deserved

We have to get healthy and get as fully loaded as possible

Part of me wants the Ravens to just win Sunday so we don't even take more than a practice squad to Cincinnati in two weeks

Stefanski called a gem... again.

- Ford had the best vision and adjustments I've seen from him all year.
- Njoku is a stud. Ballpeen and others need to come clean.
- To me, this felt like a game to give props to the back ups on defense... Ronnie Hickman, Alex Wright, Taki Taki, etc.. This team has dealt with so much (injury\- wise) and they've proven their worth/depth.
- Flacco might get us deep into the playoffs if we can get folks healthy.

I've been a Takitaki hater. I still like both Walker and JOK over him, but his speed has seemingly increased (after injury oddly enough) and has been a big asset to the depth of this team. I think we might loose him in FA as a result of his performance, but I hope we can keep him.

Although, if the Ravens lose twice and Buffalo beats the Dolphins a win over the Bengals would earn a home field and a bye week. That would be some much-needed rest and then get to play at home.

then you risk more injury.. risk/reward I guess.. i think we need to be healthy more than 1 seed, plus you can keep momentum

We play ugly ball but I love it. I keep thinking our lucks gotta run out with all these injuries and turnovers, and yet…

Our ability to make other teams play like crap is a thing of beauty. Defense wins championships! Go browns!!

- Another game, another predictably easy win. Vegas knew as well.

- Stefanski adapts to Cooper being out and masterfully calls a game. Loved how he kept Njoku and Ford out of harms way in the second half to prevent injury.

- Njoku continues to live up to the 'Njoku Truthers' hype.

- Ronnie Hickman has performed at a higher level than Juan Thornhill. Thornhill is another JJ III.

- Hat tip to the OL, specifically, Christian and Hudson. Callahan has them playing above their pay grade.

- Greg Newsome has Joe Haden vibes in the way he connects with the city.

- Shelby Harris bats down a FG. He continues to bat down balls in the air.

- Takitaki and JOK were all over the place.

- Did not miss a beat with Patterson and Haack, naturally.

- Jordan Phillips made a big play on 4th down.

Game balls: Njoku and Takitaki

Playoffs will be fun!

Takitaki, will take the injury prone, Walker's, job next year.

i hope we can do better than takitaki.. he's average at best.. we def. need some speed in the middle that can lay a hit and get off a block, alot of those counter runs were because we couldn't get off blocks..LB is still a weak spot outside of JOK on occasion but can't have all-pro at every position. Delpit coming back will help the run defense tremendously

Flacco is the QB that Stefanski has been wanting for a long time. A very smart pure pocket passer with a cannon arm who loves to throw to his TEs. Flacco has allowed Stefanski to open his playbook and be very agressive and so far it has paid off handsomely.

I do wish we would run a lot more than we do because Flacco's play action game, like Baker's was, is awesome. On the other hand, I am ok with throwing 50 times if that means we keep on winning. Whatever it takes.

Not me. Go Dolphins! Force the Ravens to play their starters week 18 and risk injury (especially against a demoralized Steelers team). The Browns have already proven they can overcome injuries.

I've said it before and to quote, likely Hall of Fame Browns OC Todd Haley, "you can't live in your fears."

I doubt it. If they feel Walker is too injury prone, I'd guess they replace him with someone new, not Takitaki.

I find gambling/betting deplorable, but I'll allow you to wine and dine me at The Standard (I may or may not opt for the Kaluga caviar) if Takitaki is not re-signed. I'd suggest dinner at the Shoreby Club but we do not need to have a Koby Altman situation on our hands. tongue

Thoughts:

Excellent first half. Njoku, Flacco, o line, and ford.

Ford's biggest problem? He's filling in for the irreplaceable Mr. Chubb.

Not what I expected to see. First half. OUr d struggled, our O didn't. Jets d struggled, their O didn't.

Adjustments at half...........helped no one, really.

Many more thoughts, but this is the best: Browns are 11-5 and in the playoffs.

Hopefully a week and a half off will get some players back - Cooper, Moore, Walker, etc.

Now, what to do with the bengals game. Play the first team? Play backups to prevent injuries? I don't know. I guess this weekend will help to determine that.

I got the sense that we weren't going to Njoku the 2nd half unless absolutely necessary. We need some rest and recovery for the next 2.5 weeks

Feels Good. Don't need to say more. Love to hear Jim Donovan call that play.

What? I have never once said I wanted to get rid of Nick.

As for Njoku...the guy is playing great. I don't think I was wrong when he wasn't playing well, and I don't think I am wrong to say he is now playing great.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Friday morning after clinching what a way to wake up. Feels really good.

My first thought was game ball for Kevin Stefanski.

I do not care how the media votes for Coach of the Year. I am voting for Kevin.

The game starts with losing our number one receiver. Then during the game we lose our number two receiver.

The first half the offense on crutches destroys the third best defense. Scores 34 points in the first half.

The adjustment after learning of Cooper being out. We go Tight Ends away. Carve up the Jets defense with David Njoku and Iceman Joe.

Stunning really.

IMO Kevin is one of the best in the game at creating offense. He was outstanding last night.

Game balls normally go to players. But we are in the playoffs because of the coaching job that has been done this year.
