It would be really nice to see our offense click and have Watson continue to knock off some rust. I do fear that their defensive front will cause some major issues

Cleveland Browns will have their defensive end combination of Jadeveon Clowney and Myles Garrett on the field in week 17. Clowney is expected to play against the Washington Commanders despite being questionable coming in.

Clowney was able to clear concussion protocol and travel to Washington to play in this one. It's been a rough couple of weeks for Clowney, as he missed practice late in the week with an illness, too.

The Browns are relatively healthy outside of the guys who aren't coming back this season. Clowney was the lone injury designation against the Commanders.

Cleveland running back Demetric Felton is inactive. Jerome Ford will man the return duties.

Take a look at the full inactive list below.

Cleveland Browns:

QB Kellen Mond

RB Demetric Felton Jr.

CB Thomas Graham Jr.

DT Ben Stille

DE Isaiah Thomas

T Chris Hubbard

DT Tommy Togiai

Washington Commanders:

No. 14 QB Sam Howell
No. 24 RB Antonio Gibson
No. 25 CB Benjamin St-Juste
No. 31 S Kam Curl
No. 75 G Chris Paul
No. 77 G Saahdiq Charles
No. 96 DE James Smith-Williams

Felton is out, which explains the Kelly thing

I think so too. It's much ado over nothing.

Ready or not.... I'm ready!

Our ball

Awful pass

Chubb screen for 10

Good little pass play.

Chubb for 9

Flag on them

Flag on us … Watson looks awful

Awful pass

ut-oh

Talk about a freaking terrible start .. our OL and Watson are a trainwreck

At least our punter did something good

Real nice punt.

I love how the announcers talk about how great our offensive line is and then the line performs the complete opposite of the talk.

Only thing worse than our oline is our receivers

Hopefully they're just getting warmed up. lol

Can't read a defense

At this point this team is just garbage. They might as well blow it up completely and trade whoever they can to gain back the ability to start over. Including the entire FO. It’s embarrassing to even want to root for this mess.

INT ward!

Nice!!!

Well, that didn't take long for Wentz. He is broken.

Thank god we are playing wentz. Funny teams still think he’s good

You have a qb who can't read a defense and AGAIN you want to throw the ball 35 to 45 times a game

Darn it

Watson seems so slow with his reads

3-0

Our receiver simply suck. They can’t catch anything

Offense looks very pedestrian.

Lazy route ran by Njoku there, not sharp at all

I don’t even think they care about winning at this point. It’s all about trying to get DW back on track. Think about how much money the fans sink into them for them to just throw a whole season.

That was a great interception by Ward a few plays ago.

3rd and long

1st down

They didn't throw the whole season on purpose.

They just let Stefanski do his thing.

Guy has no business being a head coach in the NFL.

No head coaching experience anywhere previously. Not even pee wee.

Interesting that Wentz has bounced around. That QB draft actually kind of sucked.

So embarrassing

Exact same play for their TE and there’s the difference between a good te and njoku

Looks like Washington is about to be smart and just attack our run defense.

Than run summaries our defense since Joe woods has been DC and Berry has picked players

Great stop

Good job D!

Not sure why you would try to run wide there when we are so soft up the middle

nice stop !!

Did Ron let stefanski call that play

Lol

Yeah that was dumb

Chubb for 15

Chubb for 40!!

Lovin' NC!

Watson is so hesitant

That’s what we need to do. Keep giving to Chubb, make them stop it

Watson is not good thus far in the red zone

Watson awareness is 5/100.

Cant read a defense. Just make him a running back since that is all he does anyways

Badcoaching.com

The game was 6 to 0. Smh.

Shoulda took the 3.

Moron

Just take the kick

Hahaha the sexual predator special does it again 😆

Stefanski see Ron's bad playcall and 4th down and raises him one. Amazing.

Example one of outthinking ourselves

His lack of ability to read defenses is very alarming. He’s not worth that money.

That’s just so so dumb

Stefanski is an idiot. Why would you call 3 pass plays when Chubb is running the ball down their throats and you go for it on 4th and goal and Chubb is on the sidelines.

This is why stefanski has to go. He literally costs us crucial points every game and they always end up costing us the game

Oops, there's points on the board. Let's take them off.

Stefanski has to be saved from himself.

I've been trying to stick with Stefanski but he is losing me.

Such a freaking joke, this team.

Haslam is a joke. Stefansk is a joke. Berry is a joke and Depo is a joke.

And going back to the pass after Chubb was dissecting them. Stefanski is just pat shurmur with better talent

Stefanski is an idiot.

Watson afraid to throw??????

held the ball too long, had an open Njoku on the left on 3rd and goal.

don't know what the take the penalty, and take the fg off the board and go for it and whiff on 4th down came from
I bet that is all on K. Stefanski dumblankery.

I think Stefanski seriously wants to get fired.

Taking points off the board, as a team that has had a really hard time scoring points, doesn't seem like a smart move.

or the more plausible scenario is he knows it doesn’t matter and he won’t. Haslam is a problem

Defensive penalties screw us

This statement is literally a microcosm of Stefanski as a coach.

no comment.

Nice hit Ragland

Nice!!!

INT … Wentz is terrible

IMO - what's happening is the Browns know that they're not going anywhere and Stinkfanski has told the boss that the balance of the season is Watsons "pre-season" for 2023. So it's not about winning any games, it's about giving Watson reps. That's why the obvious Chubb attack was benched.

Wentz no longer belongs in the league.

He is incredibly bad.

What does analytics say about this?

Wentz is our best defender

Our much-maligned defense keeping us in another game.

Lol

Woods is getting another season. Oh boy.

Watson has always had one of the slowest releases in the NFL. Why? Because he is extremely slow to diagnose a defense.

Nice to see there is effort being played

Can we convert it into points

Watson’s lack of ability to read a defense right now is really concerning

Awkward

Watson is afraid to throw the ball.

I know Stefanski wants us to be a pass first offense, but we're just not that.

Lmao holds the ball forever and haslam gave him the biggest contract ever

We can't even convert an already completed FG into points by declining a penalty.

Worst case scenario….woods gets a garbage time streak against two terrible teams and comes back.

Must be nice to have DEs that can make plays before the 4th quarter

Yeah its not good

Analytics Baby. They stop a roller coaster halfway down the hill .

repeat after me. Whheeee>> crunch> ouch> neckbrace> back injury. Ha,

Watson looked like he fell asleep there for a second or forgot he was playing in NFL when he got sacked.

Chubb with 65 yards on 4 carries but sure, let's keep putting Watson back there to pat the ball twice, panic, and run into a sack.

Parade of Disaster on offense.

Lmao

Conklin was wide open

Omg Watson just tried to throw the ball to a lineman.

Our OL and Watson look like a circus right now

That sequence deserved the Benny Hill theme

Conklin's got more targets than Cooper.

Seriously - this is as bad as The Replacements and The Waterboy combined (before Coach got his manhood back)...

I'd love to see Vers defend this terribleness

Ok that was the worst series for a qb since 1864

Lol the dude is a bum. 250 million

Watson is doing as much as he can to make our OL look bad.

Why does Stefanski hate Chubb?

Offense has never looked worse.

Very very unimpressive.

Even Conklin looked at him like: " the heck you doing?"

I tried to attach that play to the BennyHillifier, and it rejected it for being too silly.

We would be up 21-0 with Brissett

This will go down as the trade that took down an entire organization.

Time for a Defensive TD

Agreed Psyde. I just said that our offense looks like a clown show. Like the generals against the globetrotters. I’m telling you, I wouldn’t put it past Dipodesta to tell Stefanski to lose out so that we pick a little higher in rounds 2 and 4.

If you really look back.

the number of games this year where a DECISION has cost you 3 points in the first half.
has to be greater than 4, more than five, maybe five or 6.

They have nine losses and this game in progress.

Watson sucks. I’m starting to think the Browns made a MASSIVE mistake throwing a quarter of a billion dollars on a guy who can’t remember how to play QB.

I've shouted "Throw the F'in ball!" way too many times this game, and it's not even halftime yet

Let's hope not. So far Watson looks lost.

Can't believe we gave all that money for a QB and this is what we get.

2nd radio guy said we .should be up much more than 3
letting these guys hang around is ridiculous.

Watson is looking a lot like Deshone Kizer...

We need a QB we can believe in. So far Watson ain't it.

Why would wash throw another pass in this game?

At least we guiaranteed him $250 million over the next 3 years ........

Garrett even playing today

Good job D!

Would Carolina or Atlanta give the Browns 3 #I picks to take Watson off your hands?? Today?

just thinking.

Sadly, I think Kizer was more productive than this.

Watching this game its hard to believe this has playoff implications. Both teams are so bad.

No way.

Well - I have to go take down Christmas deco...I'm sure it will be much more fun than watching this crap.

Happy New Year everyone!

3rd and seventeen they get nineteen,

after the sack they get a first

That’s just inexcusable

Geesh.

Wow watching Garrett that play proves he’s just mailing it in.

Yeah he ran a stunt at like 20% effort.

wondering that myself, i don't see his number out there

Yep this game is over. They figured us out before half

This is one of the worst games I’ve seen

He's playing. He's even playing the run today. He's just not been impactful.

They'll get to double dip.

This team just blows...No other way to describe them.

Why bother? They want to lose and the players are going through the motions.

Sit everyone. It’s not like Garrett is in the mix for DPY. He’s overrated AF.

FIRE EVERYONE

I think Watson's already won more games than Kizer.

I wouldn't blame Chubb if he asked for a trade and they can keep all the money they would owe him

He has 5 tackles. Including the stop on 4th and 1.

Those michelob commercials are so stupid. Yeah first thing I want after exercise or a run is a beer…

2nd wide open receiver on consecutive 3rd downs

Why even call a timeout? Let’s get this [censored] show of a season over as fast as humanly possible already. It’s disgusting to me that I end up feeling like this about a sports team every single year. The biggest joke of an organization in sports history.

Lol. Falling on a pile is credit as an assist. He hasn’t made a solo anything today. I’m not even sure his uniform is dirty

They are going to walk away from us now

Should be 21-0.

Good job D

Bad read there

If they had an offense they'd be up by... a couple more.

These announcers are horrible

Ouch

Longest drive of the season....

That was basically a punch right in our mouth

Longest drive I’ve ever seen lol

Browns are the only team that can win the turnover battle and lose more than they win.

Screw this team and this coaching staff.

There is ALWAYS some sort of record or "first evers" or "season highs" against the Browns

Time to rag on the defense for failing to pitch the shutout that our offense needs to be successful.

That drive was a manhood check.

And we set the record for longest drive given up. That’s how we do

Fire Kevin Stefanski

Can't wait for Watson to throw 30 more times in the 2nd half.

well the good news was we didn't have to see watson run around like a fool

Well.....That was beyond depressing.

lol they have up the longest drive in nfl this season. Let’s not pretend they don’t deserve any criticism

Just kneel it

I hate this team and I hate Watson.

but now since they get the ball back, I'd bet money they get the dreaded double dip

Only the Browns could be up 2-0 in turnover ratio and be trailing 7-3

I would say the game is over but it was over before the busses pulled in.

Or giving up a 21 play TD drive and giving up multiple 3rd downs including a 3rd and 17. But yea, they shouldn't be ragged on.

What excuse are we going to hear next year?

When at this point of the year their record is worse??

It’s official. The Watson trade will go down in NFL history as the biggest bonehead transaction of all time.

Only a 4 point game

lots of time left

If Haslam has any sense at all he will wipe this dumpster clean and either sell the team or bring in a REAL football mind to run the organization

This is my last season.

If they ever get good, I'll come back.

They created 2 turnovers and gave up 7 points in a half. Every other NFL team will take that half every single time and most would have a 10 point lead right now.

Lots of time to show how much worse they can look.

Texans laughing all the way to the draft

but all the talk has been to fire the Defensive coordinator. :LOOPY :

I have to agree with this. The third and 17 was tough but in general if we had a good HC and good QB play, most professional teams would have a pretty big lead right now.

The Browns look like the Shurmur Seneca lead Browns.

Waston reminds of Josh Allen except for the mobility awareness and arm talent and decision making

Nick Chubb has 5 carries in the first half. That alone is a good enough reason to fire Stefanski.

I don't think people realize how bad Stefanski is.

I was trying to give stability a chance.. but I look at Jacksonville, NyG, NyJ, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, heck even bleeping Carolina….. all teams shouldn’t be even close to us in the power rankings. But not only are they ahead of us, but they’re all vying for playoff spots..
Unreal. Not only should we fire every coach but we’d be of sound mind to demand an ownership change. The bleeping Steelers and panthers are still alive in the playoff hunt and we’re a laughingstock clownshow. Let that sink through your heads.

Can't wait to see how many homers pick the Browns for the playoffs next year and or winning the division

Did that atat say we have a total of 8 passing yards? That's actually a good day for deshaun

REGROUP time, re group, halftime. time to re group and this is
still a winnable game.

Winn a ble
Win a ble
Win a ble.

Ragland has looked good

Jonathan Allen is out

this should be the year that we sweep the stillers, but now I'm having doubts that's possible

Additionally, I see Chase Young (a world class defensive end) giving his quarterback words of encouragement and support prior to the 96 yard drive. And I see overrated Myles Garret not caring, going through the motions. - What a leader. Trade him and start the rebuild, this is a disaster that lost hope the second Haslam opted for Berry and Depodesta over John Dorsey.

What about Berry and Depo? I mean they always say it's a collaboration.
something tells me Van Pelt actually isn't wishy washy, but again a group decision making group.

Watson 3/8 for 23 yards
Chubb 5 rushes for 68 yards
Washington defense 4 sacks

Stefanski at the half -> Hmm, should I run it or pass it more in the 2nd half
Hmmm, hmmm, got it! Lets pass it, pass it, pass it.
Huh huh, They'll never expect that, I'm a genius!

Yes. Watson racked up a total of 23 passing yards but walked into 4 sacks for -14 yards.

Ugh

The heck wrong with toney fields? He looked more angry than hurt

Here Comes the O
the offense ... ready to bring the BOOM

after the advert. break.

radio said left arm

1st down

Drop

Go O
Go O
and a fake to Hunt, @b sneak convert First down

drop by Njoku, 2nd and I0

Everything seems so hard for this team too do

Njoku is not good

well well well

TD COOPER

need an entire new WR corps

Great run

We have two playmakers

so Cooper is playing

10-7

Who is this Cooper guy

That was a sad attempt at a tackle, but nice to finally have a big play.

Njoku back to dropping passes.

TD Browns!!!!!

Touchdown Browns
Cooper up the sideline whew looked like he almost stepped out on stride number 3, no look yet.

Big Play for a TD !!!

Now the D will give it right back history sasy

Browns only able to score on broken plays.

We need all new TEs and a legit 2 for cooper

and Haslam, the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
maybe winning he thought
doesn't come from a 230 million dollar man ]rhymes with door,

maybe winning perhaps,
is from a little bit more.

and here it comes

Good job D

Garrett doesn't usually have sacks in the last 5 games of the season.

Woods finally put Garrett in a good position to make a play

G.K.W.

GOTTA KEEP WOODS

Battle of 2 QB's who look like they aint got it no more

Finally a good play from garrett. Maybe he should put on weight and move to DT, seems to make more plays when he’s inside

only took to week 17 to do it

Myles only has 1 more good play left in him this game. He gets us about 3 a game

Go Chubb go!

Keep going to Chubb

Ford time

now lets pass 4 times in a row

Lol wtf was that

Another BAD decision in the pocket.

Lol bad enough he can't read a defense now he can't throw a football lol

That was a nice playcall there

2nd and long run like always

Conklin looking like a bad contract

Followed up with HC doesn't know what to do,
handoff into the defense and run for a loss of yardage.

You cant simulate that on Madden

Clone Cooper.

I just witnessed the worst throw this year in the NFL

Glassdoor hurt again

Coop

Outside runs.. see can’t run them to the right

Njoku

that looks like a QB

Nice Njoku

Cmon o

Come on DPJ

Gotta hold onto 'em.

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

TD DPJ

Good job O

Earned it back

Dnp needs upgraded

DPJ made up for it

Every run play is so recognizable
its like
war of the worlds broadcast nineteen thirty seven.

Touchdown Browns a pass

Who is this team?


Should be 20-7.

We're winning, 17 to 7.

Watson starting to get some rhythm.

Just when I think you can’t get be any dumber….. completely Redeem yourself

Extend it !!!

see how long it takes to blow this lead

See how long it takes to add to the lead !!

Not sure why Washington would let that run out down 10? But they have done just as much questionable things today as we have.

we know where this is headed

Cmon D

This D has no kill shot

This is where garrett needs to step up

Winnable game

Gotta stop 'em here.

Another great signing by Berry, juked with his cement shoes. Defense will fold per woods MO

Now Miles

17-10

Miami falling apart

Um Samuel can do that to anyone let alone a mlb

Now 250 mil man lead a drive here

Should be 20-10.

Held em to a field goal,
Up seventeen to ten.

Here comes the Great Browns Offense

Here Here" , after the advertisement break.

Here Here" "Go O"

Our O line played better under JB

Bad drop back again, ought to count those

@b runn for 20

A little too slow on that one Watson.

BAD drop back after shotgun formation.
AGAIN, THAT 2 this drive arrrgh

Watson is very slow

dumb @b run after a drop back from the shotgun
4th and one, Brisset picked up the first.

Run the damn ball garbage ass stefanski

Me think Wa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tsom was a BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG mistake

TD!!!!!!!!!

TD COOP

Nice drive guys

DPJ took the defense with him

Cooper

Well, ole @b got a 3 TD day. 24 to I0 lead.

Wow.

Hang on to this lead

COOP !!!!!!!!


Nice Pass DW !!!

24 to 10 with 5:21 left in the 4th quarter. Brownies up on top.

A Browns win ?

Thx Russ u sux

Interception!!!

Wow Deplit is having a big game

I love The Office. Seen it many many times.

G.K.W.
Gotta Keep Woods

Remember when Cowherd said Wentz was elite

How do you lose to the browns with 3rd string linebackers and joe woods as coordinator? How embarrassing

They probably should have started their other QB

Have Wentz as your starting QB

Why is Jerome Ford playing.

Watson's light switch may have just turned on this game.

Agreed

Why is Jerome Ford on the roster.

Why don't we get chubb the rushing title. Geez.

Browns should be up 27-10.

Why aren't they playing D'Ernest Johnson instead?

WHAT A WASTED SERIES on O

The most gutless gelding playcalling series I’ve ever seen. Stefanski is just trash

Or Chubb, or Hunt.

Wentz is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

I would have took my chances with Hinekin

Washington playing more like the Browns than the actual Browns in the second half.

Right? What was the point of keeping that guy? He is pretty darn good and they don't even use him

Wow , really stefanski

Ford is getting work because he will be Chubb's back up next season.

Wentz will never be a starter again

I think he is insurance, just in case either of our other backs get injured.

If Stefanski can petition the league to play Wentz every week, the future is bright.

How many more times will the Browns dumb coach
give the ball back to the other team,
when
they had a chance to take a knee.

what a freaking miracoulous version of not acting in your own best interest.

Putting in the 4th string Rb to run out the clock

calling a timeout before the 2 min warning so you can't run out the clock

staying 3 plays with Ford for 0 positive yards

disaster

Well played second half.

O I C
only in Cleveland
if it ain't Chaos it aint Cleveland

Watch em need to recover an onside to not lose

disaster

Narrator: This did not happen

It's official
Jerome Ford vacuums

of course just like Jordan Elliott he'll be a brown for many years

They did give the ball back with 24 seconds after taking a knee 3 times
