And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain

I've loved, laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing

If we run Chubb at all it’s very dumb

Happy Birthday!

Agree... limited at practice this week with a rib injury... I wouldn't mess with that... I'd shut him down for the year.

The sadness of realizing we’re playing insignificant games to end the year sucks again

Yea, it was a rocky season to say the least.

Yeah... but still a chance to beat a division rival... win 8 games which is pretty decent when you look at our record over the last 10 years... I wish we were getting ready for a playoff push... but it is what it is... Also, I am happy we were technically in the playoff hunt until the second to last week of the season...

hopefully we can win today and go into the off season with something positive...

Things are back to normal.

I told myself all week that I wasn’t going to watch this game knowing full well that I would 100% be watching this game.

A win isn’t bad, a loss is better.

I took Case Keenum in a daily contest today just to have some rooting interest in this game. Otherwise don't really care what happens.

Here we go one last time

Anticlimactic

Who is this color analyst? He already sounds awful

He sounds half asleep

Lol true

Enjoy it. Last one 'til next year.

The raucous crowd caused a false start

Already too many touches for chubb

I wanted to listen to Dieken's final game in the booth. Sucks that the radio call is at least 10 seconds out of sync behind the TV action, but oh well.

wow.... great play by their defender there...

Darn it

Cincy fired up

Yep, as others have said. No sense in playing Chubb today.

Not saying it was you but a lot of people wanted to play Chubb a ton last week in an equally meaningless game.

I told my son before the raiders game-if we win one of the next two we have a shot to play cincy for a shot to get in-and we are going to be there if we have a chance for a play in game.
He asked me last night if I still felt like going to day-I told him I had no desire to go today-he was bummed-he still wanted to go

3 games ago, we were 7-6 and Cincy was 7-6; they won 3 in a row and we lost 3 in a row

Just think, those are the scripted plays. Stefanski just blows as a playcaller. It’s time to accept that

I can’t wait until we have the San Diego State punter punting 90 yard bombs next year.

Chase is good

Technically we still had a shot at the playoffs and were under the assumption that he was healthy... now that we know we are out and know he has a rib injury, I don't see any reason to play him.

Pittsburgh winning … Jags winning

Our receivers are so bad when you watch other teams

Jags are not gonna win.

We were eliminated before that game started.

But out of frustration watching that game and after a few drinks I'm not gonna doubt that I asked why Chubb wasn't on the field.

Honestly, I think that is the story of this season.

my apologizes - I thought we technically still had a chance.... either way, if he was healthy I don't mind him playing last week... see no reason to with his ribs being banged up

Just get chubb out … this is pointless

Please lose this pre-season game.

But I’m sure they’ll win this one

Good job Case.

i wouldn’t play landry either

Anyone who is good should be sitting on the bench right now.

Hudson is a hold waiting to happen

You gotta catch those.

Schwartz … gtfo

Come on Schwartz!

Schwarts has done nothing but suck this year.

Our oline getting straight up abused.

Schwartz is another wasted pick, same as Hudson . Berry deserves quite a bit of flak for this season too

At least he's consistent.

Honestly. Schwartz is a waste of roster spot. We have a receiving corps consisting of 1 3rd string WR and nothing else.

Pittsburgh having things break their way so far

That run there shows why we need to upgrade Lb and DT, ours are very bad

good defense

Good job Greedy!

In other words, typical game day for Pitt.

True .. as always

Shocker. The refs are in a quandary on this one. They normally bend over backwards for both of these teams.

DPJ is just meh in everything.

We need soooo much.

Nice play!

Lol tricky

We needed the benny hill theme for that one.

A Hooper drop would have been the icing on the cake for that one.

All that for 6 yards. Stefanski in a nutshell

good run Chubb

Nice run Chubb!

Nice! TD Browns!

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TD browns

Happy for Landry!

Can't believe that's only his 2nd td on the year.

Crazy... he should be in double digits...

Good Job Browns

I give Baker credit for being there

Why is it even when we have good plays it looks like it takes forever to develop. If only we played against a prevent defense every game we would be undefeated 🙄

Just finish on a high note today 😊

I flip over to the Pittsburgh game and it looks like an actual regular season game.

Now back to ours lol

Absolutely.

The media really did create a narrative this week. I’ve always thought Mary Kay was a lightweight fluffer but she should be called out for her work this week.

We might have our man in Keenum.

Clowney sack .. kinda LOL …

We know he can definitely play against the Bengals backups in a meaningless game.

agreed... nice to see him there supporting his team mates...

praying his surgery goes well

We’d be playing for a playoff spot if he started down the stretch.

Was that johnson? Thought he was on covid list?

Tell me you are a Browns fan without telling me you are a Browns fan.

Schwartz is so slight … hes a heavy breath away from injury

dang... thought Landry was about to get knocked out

Landry is a baller, gonna miss him.

Good run by Johnson

Good job Johnson!

TD

TD!!!!

Exactly. Mayfield should have sat once injured.

14-0

Sadly I agree. It was a weird year with Baker and the injury. Wish we coulda just sat him

Johnson will be a starter somewhere next year

Also, imagine if we got to ply the Bengals backups down the stretch.

Good to see the team playing well and not looking like they have given up

So you know for sure he is leaving …. Hummmm

Johnson will be a RFA

Good game, thus far...its nice to see rhythm and no dumb penalties causing us to go backwards

Probably will be tendered, to what extent I'm not sure

Quit being logical.

Phillips nice job

Happy!

good to see the fans showed up also


little things that


save



Hope

Garrett and Clowney just had a Brandon Allen sandwich. I bet that hurt.

Just preparing myself, I doubt he is retained. With his age/salary I just don't think we resign him.

Looked like it!! Clowny looked like he tweeked his back as well

I mean….he’s 28. With our WR room, they might pay him that 16 milly

Baltimore offense looks terrible

Is Lamar Jackson playing or no?

Bengals secondary is gonna be really thin in second half.

Are any of the Bengals starters playing?

Huntley is playing

I think this game shows us that 50% Baker is not better than 100% Keenum

They sat their secondary and I think the majority of the OL and DL.

Vonn Bell, Hendrickson, Hopkins, Spain, Mixon, Hill, and Ogunjobi are all still on the virus list too.

Horrible punt

We need two kickers as well

Yes, a kicker and a punter

against backups. in a pretty meaningless game.

I do wish in retrospect, they would have shut down bake for a few weeks.

there would be a lot less drama.

in 2021 no one questioned Baker was the starting QB

Down by contact

Story of the year right there, just can't seem to come up with a loose ball.

I am totally wrong LOL

Point still stands. Keenum has had success as a starter, we pay him 10mil a year specifically because of that . He would have been alot better option. At minimum gives baker a chance to heal

Nathan Zegura reports that Clowney's two sacks today gave him a $250,000 incentive bonus.

Clowney is a dumb***

Point still stands that Keenum looks better against the Bengals backups. I am not sure how that really helps us though.

Wish dline would learn to just fall on the ball

Ugh

Keenum fans just got brought back to reality lol

Baker also looked good against the Bengals, but it was against their starters.

Bengals backups back in it now

So you al want Keenum … smh

Lmao wtf was that

Ravens driving …

Hudson might be the worst oline to ever play. Berry gets a big fail with Hudson and Schwartz

put in the backup

Remember when Wyatt Ray was on our team

Whoa! Browns kickoff return gets past the 25. That never happens.

Lol yeah cause baker hasn’t done that or worse. With a fully healthy line. You can tell who love baker despite anything

And to be clear, I am not saying Keenum should be our Qb going forward. 100% Baker is better than 100% Keenum

My point is that we pay him a lot of money to be a backup. We should have played him against Detroit and maybe another game to let Baker heal up

So Huntley starting over LJ in the future was a one game hot take? Got it

And that is why Keenum is not the man even with Baker hurt. Nuff said.

because he is about to have a double-digit sack season?

For real. Clowney is a better DE than Garrett , yeah I said it. Clowney makes plays that aren’t just sacks

I knew I should not have started Chubb on my Fantasy team today.

Nice!

Get landry two nfl quality starters wr so he can play slot and he’s in perfect role

Really liking Chief getting targets.

Schwartz caught one!

Good drive here

Dang, bryant seemed to jump early

He almost didn't, lol.

case....mvp

same.

there goes all my fun money

Man we need some decent TE

Bengals just want to get this game over with and concentrate on playoffs. That's why there backups are in

I'm glad Bryant did not come closer to catch that. he would have woken up in the Cleveland Clinic ICU

Backups or not, Case looks more in control than Bake did in the stretch

Keenum cant even beat the bengals backups and yall bagging on baker lol

Scratch that

Schwartz is such a waste of roster

We should have been starting Nick Mullens all year!

... and then THAT happened.

Interception or not, case has done fine. Y’all act like baker didn’t just throw 4 of them in a must win game

My comments aren't bagging on Baker. They are bagging on KS for not sitting bakre a couple games to let him heal.
WHy are we paying a backup $10 million dollars if we don't think he can beat a winless Detroit?

I'm glad we have case as our backup.

No, because he tried to scoop the ball up and run it in when he should've just fell on it. It has been a disaster ever since.

Yet we have the same number of turnovers at halftime as we had in the entire game against the Steelers starters. I am not sure how anyone makes any meaninful comparisons though.

lol The Bengals backups are in this game because of Keenum

This is exactly it. It’s not about case being the answer, it’s about paying him for literally the exact situation this year. You think any other coach or team would have let their starter go out there with that many injuries and risk him more while paying a backup 10 mil a year .

Lol yep. Sone people are determined to hate bake. Last year 27td passes. And I would not doubt that the same people cringed everytime he did

STEFANSKI NOW ABOUT 0-16

0-16 in taking the field goal near the end of the first half??????

What a group of MISTAKES analytics are that with 9 seconds remaining

9 seconds, they couldn't see, they couldn't

OPEN THEIR EYES, and realize, they'd have been lucky to take a short FG try, and get some points and positive feelings going into the halftime.

I think that's a DOLT MOVE!
SOMETIMES YOU TAKE THE FG

YOU HAD 9 SECONDS. They haven't made a good play in crunch time ALL YEAR!!!!!

FIELD GOALS WHEN THEY HELP YOU!!!!

BUT YOU ONLY DECIDE TO TAKE FIELD GOALS IN GARBAGE TIME WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU CAN'T WIN THE GAME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BILL BELICHIC
THAT AFTER 2 YEARS, TO BE MAKING MESSED UP DECISIONS LIKE THAT
GAME
AFTER GAME
AFTER GAME
AFTER GAME
AFTER GAME!

What does this game mean anyway???? It's the difference between going
2-5 or worse
and NOT going 2-5 or worse in any stretch of the schedule.

AND THAT, is my watermark of coaching, at least one of them.

We went from 2 and 5 to 3 and 33 on that play. I'd say things have been a disaster since the Browns fumble.

Indianapolis is blowing it big time

Meh, we had a play to the end zone and a 4th down field goal. It isnt like we skipped the field goal to go for the TD.

Stefanski couldn't win with Tom Brady!

I'm so angry he didn't take the chip shot field goal with 9 seconds to play in the half. YOU HAD THE LEAD!!!

Never quote or reply to a Throw Long post, it's one of the general rules around here.

The Minnesota Vikings
Never won )****( in my Lifetime EITHER

So your Offensive JOKE that loves the Vikings offense, Is a Collasal nose dive Also!!

YOUR Minnesota Vikings never won **** in my lifetime EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm presuming that Chubb is hurt???

If the colts lose and that rapist gets another shot at a superbowl I want stefanski FIRED. Dont care if we blow it up again , we could have ended the chances at one last superbowl for that rapist and instead stefanski comes out throwing against the 31st ranked run defense

They mentioned a rib injury last week, but I have a feeling he still is recovering from Covid a little.

I’d say Chubb shouldn’t get a carry this half

ANALYTICS LOST THIS GAME

Greedy can't cover their 4th best receiver without mugging the hell out of him....

Greedy has to go.

Greedy another guy that needs replaced, can’t cover and can’t tackle

Chubb has been out since 3rd drive

Referees say they are sick of not getting any attention, call phantom PI on uncatchable pass.

Our defense is in serious need of speed

Couldn’t stop the run with 11 in box

I think Phillips and JOK help in the speed area …. I think our WRs lack of speed and playmaking ability is more pronounced

A win here does nothing, we have like 20 holes. We need the draft position, the time to win games was december

Called a TO to avoid delay of game and got it anyway.

Greedy plays a position that is hampered by the Rule book

IT IS AN OFFENSIVE GAME! STEFANSKY CAN'T BUT HURT THE OFFENSE
STEFANSKI HAS TO GO!!

If they lose this game, Stefansky has to go!

Phillips is a horrible lb. If he’s not hurt he’s out of position. He won’t be here next year. JOK is undersized and always hurt. He’s going to have to prove he can play consistent, but I love what I’ve seen from JOK, if he had better backers next to him I think it would accelerate his growth

Sack #16 for Myles.

PS kicker on and doinks it thru!

OIC

The Browns Radio announcers are just so happy that cinciny scored.

They (aren't nice to listen to) either!

At halftime I managed to get dressed, jumped into my car, got a pizza and came home all without missing the second half kickoff... Life's little personal victories. lol

Good return

never mind

Cant have that

A Pizza isn't enough to help my feelings after Stefanski (Hue Jacksons') this game!

Vilma needs to just shut up lol

Nice move by Johnson.

Has Baker already had his surgery?

Because if not, then what was the use of sitting him so he could recover from it earlier?

Don't Worry!

K. Stefanski is going to Ruin this drive for points TOO

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quick, abandon the run now

WTG Nick!

now pass pass pass

Chubb stiff arm is more like a right cross to the jaw.

Let’s not turn it over Keenum

Just dumb playcalling

After a TV time out, the offensive play calling, coming up,
I'm sure will be a football bat!

You could see it coming. he loaded up to punch the guy.

i don't undestand why we only use chubb a few times a game.

drawing offside?

Nice throw Keenum

We must really have no faith in our kicking game this year.

KS is allergic to points apparently

kick it

Fail. Not the best pass, but....

I would have probably went for the field goal.

Another wasted drive

Hilarious.

Playing for a better draft pick

12 for 28 on 4th down all year.

and now 12 for 29.

[color#FFFFFF] KS is the smartest guy in the stadium [/color]

We’re going to lose to Cincinnati’s backups if we don’t wake up

It's time to hand playcalling over to Callahan or AVP. It is a MUST.

wtf why do receivers run routes short of the line to gain or goal line?

Nfl receivers make that catch

Jim Brown used to have a stiff arm like a piston straight to the crossbar. Chubb's is like a Mike Tyson roundhouse.

And why is that who we throw?

Chubb had to sleep with Stefanski''s wife or something

That is equal to SEVENTEEN turnovers by the freaking Head Coach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the fans should do a PowerPoint as to why stefanski shouldn’t call plays

Steelers keep catching breaks

Colts lost to jags and bow rapist gets in to playoffs. FIRE STEFANSKI

Honestly. 4th with 3 to go and he’s not even on the field???!!!

I really like MJ Stewart.

I heard a rumor that the rb coach has him/all rb's on a pitch count.

CUT DPJ

Man, DPJ has really fallen off

Browns ball

DPJ is straight up garbage

Defense is playing…

DPJ is a nightmare

Me too!

We recovered it

Dpj was never any good, just caught a couple wide open deep balls, but everything else he’s not been worth keeping

38

DPJ still fumbling punt returns?

IF THE BROWNS LOSE THIS REFEREE CHALLENGE
IT'S ANALYTICS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!


IF THEY WIN IT, IT'S STILL ANALYTICS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANALYZE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is that the bungles ball?

looked like we recovered for sure...

Our STs cost us nearly every week

Just can't get used to Aaron Rodgers with that stupid man-bun.

refs all year

thank you

Dude will you count it the f*** out with the caps?

Why?

Ummm, pretty sure it's Browns ball.

Very underrated aspect of our team, how bad our special teams is...bad punts, kicks, and zero return game

Ladies and gentlemen let me present Cleveland Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Our ball

Berrys draft don’t look so good anymore in context. Thats a problem

It makes his posts really important.

Kevin Stefanski is a horrible coach right now.

Did Ben Roethlisburger change his name to Bo?

Fear the apostrophe!! I hope we keep Johnson.

Almost last in every offensive stat yet stefanski keeps calling plays

i remember a game not that too long ago when there was a fumble and refs said the other team recovered. You could see a browns player had it while the other team got up without the ball. It stayed other teams ball

Throw Long says he'll stop using caps when you stop replying to the wrong poster.

Love DJ.

175 yards rushing!!!!!


and TWO DRIVES END INSIDE THE 20 WITH NO POINTS BECAUSE YOUR HEAD COACH CANT whip cream with an outboard motor.

ANALYZE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey dumbasses, this isn’t a steeler broadcast

I was just thinking the same thing. I really like him and the effort he puts forth.

It was that female ref. Chubb was trying to hand her the ball while she was looking for it from the other team, lol.

johnson looks good. glad we have him another year

Equally annoying. Good point, Dave. SMH

Is Chubb hurt? Why is he not playing???? 9 carries so far.

I'm glad Johnson has kept up with his conditioning and cardio

Johnson is tired, play Chubb for the love of my Fantasy Championship game!

Interesting contrast. The Bengals played a ton of backups while needing a win to try and get the #2 seed. The Bengals have quite a few injuries, to backups playing instead of the starters.

Johnson can make some silly good cuts.

Chubb seems to be lacking his usual burst, he kind of has reminded me more of Jordan Howard lately versus the usual Chubb...to his credit, we've had a lot of defenders blowing gaps ...but I do think he is banged up some.

Chubb is playing with bruised ribs.

It's gameday thread.
Gameday threads are for shouting, emotion. That's why there are game day threads, because, the moment!

(Silly Rabi, kicks are for trids)
If he wants to read Shakespeare buy a book!

Or better yet, Give one to the Browns Head Coach, on how to score a freaking POINT when you rush for 175 yards plus!

Good drive

TD!!!!! Man, we needed that!

Nice to see us eat up the clock and get the 7 points.

good thing we didn`t kick it last time

TD 21-10 BROWNS

Most creative posts in the GameDay thread.

We need to end with a win nice drive

Demetric Felton is a better play caller
than Kevin Stefanski is a touchdown scorer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice running by Felton, he has those quick feet

You spelled "weird ass" wrong.

Huh?

The ignore feature comes in handy...

TOUCHDOWN BROWNS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Demetric Felton !!!!! (Now go sit on the bench for the next 25 drives so analytics can figure out how to go for 41% on 4th downs.)

Dammit! Still can't get off the field on 3rd and long.

Phillips has looked good

What?




I have never heard this or seen it on an injury report

Wide open.

Radio said 1/2 the Browns defenders are "looks like they are done for the day"

including Garrett and Clowney if I heard right. so....

ANALYTICS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Commentary here. Its better to score twice than to miss the first one. lol

Analytics can go flush a toilet! :headbang:

I saw it rotoworld this week, I just wonder if he's been dealing with it for several weeks

Kevin Stefanski is hurting this team !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here comes the onside kick

onside?

Wasn't Chubb though.

Browns ball

Oh hell no

we dont do onside kicks well

LOL!

Bryant another bad pick

You have to be kidding

Our hands team has no hands.

We got really lucky there.

This is the longest I've ever seen this happen.

Quoted for emphasis

wow, in the new era where onside recoveries are statistically impossible, we nearly give up 2 in a year

This is just dumb

Great job Bryant...geez

KEVIN STEFANSKI
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT !!!!!!!!!

for sitting the defenders on the last drive!

36

The percentage of recovering onside kicks is so low yet we give it up to easily

Priefer should be the first cut this off-season

Fire stefanski. Rapist about to get into playoffs

The outcome of this game wouldn't even be close if the Browns had real coaching

instead the Browns have analytics losers! analyzing how they can lose a game even when their own team goes out and Wins it, and wins it several times over.

They aren't in the playoffs because they analyzed a way to lose,
after Greedy Williams intercepted a pass in the packers or raiders loss, I forget which.

because
Analytics LOSES ON GAME DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were saying what every fan is thinking! Stefanski and analytics are done!

case=mvp

Swept the Battle of Ohio and the Division Champs in a disappointing year.

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ANALYTICS, (and DEpo)

YOU WILL NEVER WIN A GAME BY DOUBLE DIGITS, AND NO CHAMPIONSHIP EITHER

ANALYZE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

last post

I will not miss you this off season.

I will not miss the nattering nabombs of negativity..

Go have some paid for Arbys's curly fries,
Just show up tomorrow at any Cleveland area's Arbys' location and mention this post!

Bizarre.
