CB Denzel Ward won't need a pre-game workout to determine his status. He's in. But WR Marquise Goodwin (knee) and RB Pierre Strong (lower back) may have workouts. Goodwin out there now with trainer.

In a surprise move, the Browns made P.J. Walker the backup QB & designated Jeff Driskel No. 3 on the inactive list. Alex Van Pelt had said Driskel would be the backup. Other inactives: PK D Hopkins, WR Tillman, RB Pierre Strong, CB K Hailassie, C Luke Wypler, DE Isaiah McGuire.

hopefully we get a little boost

I'm so ready!!! Glad my DirecTV NBC feed came on and I don't have to watch this on some sketchy free site.

Its time boys

Here we go! GO BROWNS!

here we go

our ball

touchback

ford for 10 .. I HATE the sun spots

Bell for 4

Ford for -4 .. that was a horrible play

Pocic missed him

Pocic... Dang

well, thats not a good start

Nope.

Oline is just a complete fail. They aren’t rising to the challenge. Houston came to play. We did not

Houston is definitely amped

We will need better play out of the line today.

step up

the OL was manhandled that drive

Most important drive for defense to date imo. We have to match what they did and their intensity or they will just come out and scorch us

I hope the defensive plan is to shutdown the run

singltary has had a good year for them

welp, there they go

their OL is much better than ours

Need to get people on the ground. Horrible effort by JOK

Hopefully, Callahan, can adjust the Oline after a series or two.
.

god wipe open

I don't like the vibe of this game .. they have us on skates

Texans just got away with a hold

3rd and 8

Not an optimal start.

offsides

same old stuff

Garrett extends the drive .. UGH

dangit ... almost picked off

Good.

I'm nervous.

whyu fiels that

we are pinned very deep now

Our specials teams …. Just horrid,

we need a drive here ... and to get the run game going

Everyone is jerking off ventrone. I think those guys are a liability.

Hunt for 2

we look AWFUL

we don't seem to be in sync today

that was a good call but bad execution

well, another really bad possession

horrible

Yea, we look real flat now.

Yeah we are losing this game. Stefanskis gameplan garbage. Getting outcoached. We are not ready to play. Run it back next year healthy

not a good time for a really bad punt

resting last week showing

zero pass rush so far

we need a turnover here

What a horrible freaking punt. This team is overwhelmed and cracking under pressure. Ryan’s is the COY, I don’t think it’s that close

gotta get a stop here

This game is 7-0 if not for a few drops by them last drive. This looks bad right now.

their QB is just too good

we are blitzing a lot compared to other games

Newsome smoked

Yep game

Newsome really did get beat right away there.

ugh

Newsome was toasted

It was a good run, overachieved. Just not our time

so far so bad

Seeing that we can't run the ball we can't get behind by to many points

omg catch it!

Stfu

Play calling has been awful so far. Way too conservative.

3rd and 3

Is it me or are the announcers all for Houston?

Good D

3-0 bad guys

Offense needs to wake up

Remember a few years ago when I was begging for Nico Collins ahead of the draft...man he would be ideal in Cleveland...instead we ended up with Anthony Schwartz, whom I was begging us not to draft lol

Newsome made a good recovery play!!

If WR's cant get open gonna be a long day

Browns offense playing timid.

Also don’t like running out of shotgun.

Seems like Houston has 15 guys on defense.

Like…who is your team? It’s certainly not the Browns. You literally root against them.

our offense needs to get clicking

Held them to a FG, that's good. Now lets go offense. Get it in gear!

Chief

we needed that play badly

Now that's what we needed!!!! Woot~

That'll back the D rush up a bit.

and it was underthorwn

Here we go

njoku for 6

Cooper to the 8

Cooper hurt

need 7 not 3

Cooper is really hurting

And cooper down

Damn wish Flacco would have just run for it. Cooper would not have been hurt again

Hunt to the 4

nothing dumb

come on Bryant ugh

TD Browns

TD!!!!!!!!

TD HUNT

good job offense

There it is. Hunt TD

great job Bitonio

7-3

Man, we needed that.

Sorry about that, Leadtheway. You must be bummed out. They scored.

Thank god...hopefully our D settles in now.

New game now. Hopefully that gets them pumped and the sleepwalking is done. Crazy how much better njoku is with Flacco throwing. He’s a top 3 te now

Come on D

Sorry bout that. Maybe we’ll start playing worse so you’ll be happier.

Ridiculous

our defense is just a sieve right now

secondary getting abused

That's what I was worried about. Thier running game

So much for the d waking up

we're gonna have to win a track meet here

There you go leadtheway. Just like you like it.

Newsome torched again

No pass rush means loss and stroud throwing for 350

we cant tackle today

they have our defense on a string right now

Good job D

Oh you’re still here? Need to file another complaint for harassment

this offense is just UNSTOPPABLE for us

the defense is a huge concern for us

Schwartz has no clue right now

Yeah top defense .. resides in Baltimore not Cleveland . This defense ain’t winning anything. Big difference when teams have their starters as we know

Wus. Waaaa. Somebody called me a name! Waaa.

Man up for crying out loud.

Defense read all the praise all week , not playing garbage QB's anymore

Newsome is struggling right now. Both big pass plays on him

We aren’t even slowing them down. Double Myles because we have not a single other person that can win one vs one. Schwartz better figure out how to generate some pass rush or this is going to be a long day.

can't hang in with a shootout

it’s simple rules of the board. Read them sometime. It’s to keep keyboard warriors such as yourself from pretending you can actually do something

defense optional

first one to 50 wins this game

Absolutely beautiful play!

Originally Posted by Jcamm

Why not?

Defense may blow but Flacco is wide awake

our run game is just so pedestrian

Ford makes it 3rd and 3

bitonio is hurt .. NOOOO

great

Ugh - Bitonio going off the field with assistance.

Jole done yikes

Awesome bitonio down

Bitonio whent straight to locker room for xray. Not good

Bell for 5

Shootout

TD HUNT

great little flip pass

Here we go AGAIN!!

Shovel to Hunt - TD!!!!

Literally pulled him down by helmet and no call

Great job Hunt! TD!!!

Hunt and Flacco came to play

now only if the D would show up

14-10

I do like our chances with Flacco in a shootout

Need D to settle in.

this is just unacceptable by our defense

DAMN.. WTF is the Defense doing

Where is the D? Did Joe Woods come back and no one told us???? WTH?

This defense

I mean, WTF guys

this is embarrassing

Schwartz can leave if he wants.. hope he does at this point. What a failure his unit is

Scwartz is getting his !@#$%$v handed to him

On the plus side, the D is getting a lot of rest with only 1 play per possession.../sarcasm

I put the game on pause, ran to the bathroom and was back in a few seconds to watch. Now that was a quick TD (sighs).....

we might have to score 60 to win

Number 1 Defense HAAAAAAAAA

JOK totally misread that play

Plus the refs missed a blatent block in the back

so much for the under

Horrible defense!

Defense wins in playoffs and wins championships. Safe to say with ours they will be watching from their couches with everyone else

how isn't that DPI!!

flag!!!! What the hell

come on!!!

let em play I guess

Piss poor lack of call there

What the hell is going on on defense? Geezus.

Totally got homered there. Full on DPI.

Vegas called

the texans fans are going nuts

whiff

well, this isn't good

One thing for sure Houston won trade

24 to 14 coming

where is the D

get off the field

This doesn’t feel good.

Defense has no answer. And Botonio is not expendable.

It’ll take a Flacco miracle.

Two nice plays on D.

gotta get off the field

Bell at saftey? Thought it was hickman?

lucky

Thank God.

OMG how is he that open behind us

How the F was that not pass interference?

Better off playing man at this point

Schwartz can kiss that raise goodbye

That was pure luck; D secondary is exposed badly right now.

WTF is the secondary doing? Get their heads in the game Schwartz! This is embarrassing.

we need a scoring drive to slow this down

At least this will end the “Schwartz is a hot prospect” discussion.

This d is a joke today. Myles, who has not been doubled, is a ghost.

ford for 5

Ford is the only back who fears contact

Ford could have had so much more if he cut right

thats such a hard play to catch

no flag .. thats a hit we don't want him taking

No flag again

flag

But now they call a flag on us after two no calls on texans

outcoached right now

punt

Bjork having a steller day

We could really use a big turnover right about now.

awful punt

need a turnover like now, Texans could have points every drive so far

The hell happened to Bjork. Is he still hurt?

Getting outcoached at every level. Hey Berry , Houston says thanks for the stupid amount of draft picks. Luckily we don’t need them all but we will keep them thanks

Originally Posted by Dawgs4Life

Have the Texans been penalized?

I don't think so

that same fly sweep just kills us

If we don’t score on every possession, this game is over.

Thanks Schwartz. Great job keeping this #1 defense grounded. They’re balling right now.

Myles with the predictable no show.

Guy is only good for about 11 games then it’s fall off a cliff time.

D doesn't seem like they're identifying any play.

Nesome has been really bad

Myles is simply not close to DPOY.

He’s a name. That’s it.

this offense is just unstoppable

we have no answers

Originally Posted by redddog

He’s a poser.

Seems like every Texan play goes where there isn't an orange helmet in 20 yards.

JOK came to play.

Yeah your stars are supposed to shine in the playoffs...not him

right on cue

and a flag on US to extend the drive ... talk about a fewaking JOKE

thats blatant cheating

Bull crap! Why are texans getting all the calls

its over boys

make up call

We needed that penalty.

About damn time

Don’t give Schwartz an option to leave. Just fire him

I just turned the game off. Need proof the nfl is rigged, this is it.

WOW - that's a DPI, but Chief getting flat out tackled before the ball got there isn't. Yep, that seems legit.

This is just getting out coached and schemed

That DPI penalty when we didn't get a blatant one on the other end...so hard to watch some times.

Originally Posted by Jcamm

It's hard to beat a team twice. The loser can watch tape and kniw what they dis wrong and make adjustments. It's harder for the winner to do that. Losing bitonio also makes it harder for Flacco to have time to throw

Horrible referees, looks like the game is fixed.

JOK is all we got onD

The NFL hates the Browns. It makes it certain that we’ll never be able to win. We don’t just have to beat the other team, we have to play at a disadvantage every time.

Refs are told to call against us. It’s a fact.

9th missed tackle today

Ugh

Newsome îs literally killing us

newsome having himself a day

I mean, this is embarrassing

Our DBs getting smoked.

Newsome ain't it

fun season while it lasted

Newsome is trash. This defense is trash. Myles as dpoy is laughable. And Ryan’s is the coach of the year. No doubt

Hickman also

Crazy when we play a legit qb, we look like every year

here comes a panic pick

That wasn't Newsome fault

we need a score here

no flag?

OMG loo at that right T

Texans can taste blood.

this texan team is our nightmare matchup

That’s game. Oh well. Was fun for awhile but we still don’t have the HC and staff that can get us where we need to go. This staff ain’t it. Houston won everything about the trade and they fell into a coach that can get them far

Well seems like the magic Brownie dust is just about all out. Unless something insane happens, our season is over.

The rout is on. Stroud is unstoppable.

why does our D play like complete crap on the road???

Originally Posted by leadtheway

Myles is an all time poser.

Has literally done nothing today on the biggest stage.

Stroud is a future HOF QB without a doubt.

This is why I said those two defensive ends that didn't play against us first game would make a big difference. Now it depends on if we can make 2nd hand adjustments

Schwartz better light a fire under these guys, because they look flat. Newsome is costing us this game

What an embarrassment. Jim Schwarz can go back to Philly. Buncha losers. I’ll say it again: Only a complete moron would buy season tickets for this mistake of a franchise. Just move the damn team. And for all of you diehards that think that we’ll com back in the 2nd half… we’ll lose 38-24 or something along those lines. Complete loser organization.

Please, Our D cannot find their butt holes... First our safeties are not in position for not one pass... Our D is OVER Persuing everything... Our Tackles are GETTING KILLED.... Shwartz is playing a single safety high on first and second down, and the texans are running all types of Mis-direction plays....

There’s a chance we’ll come back and win. But so far the browns have been out coached and out played. And our best player has been a complete zero.

and if CJ didn't overthrow earlier, it would be 7 more points for them

Schwartz is getting out coached and the players are not tackling and not reading their keys!!.... Newsome does not know what he is doing

It's not over yet

How is that possible though? He's coached for like 30 years.

No it's not over yet but clearly the advantage is with the Texans right now.

Must get pressure on Stroud. Try and confuse him by running stunts and different blitzes. He is getting way too much time and is too comfortable. LBs and DBs have to stop over running the play. Our defense is just too good to be playing this way. On offense, must control the time of possession with long TD scoring drives. Get the running game going. Keep Stroud on the sideline as much as possible.

Rookie HC. Rookie OC. Rookie QB. Beating us like little brothers.

JOK wants to win. C'mon D...somebody help the man.

their punter is better than ours today too

I don’t know why anyone in this freaking town ever gets excited about this stuff. We are getting embarrassed today.

I'm still fuming about the OPI that got called a DPI, that was 7 points their way. The defense finally got off the field and that happened. I'm upset at the inexplicable play of our defense as well. How are they giving up all these homeruns? We haven't seen this all year.

Njoku is all we got

I wasn't absolutely sure of a win today, but I was not expecting our defense to be costing us the game. Only time I've been this surprised by their bad play was the Indy game.

Originally Posted by Dawgs4Life

Yep. Ride him like a rented mule!!!

Njoku's face healed up nicely. Lucky he wasn't scarred. It was bad.

Cooper sighting.

needed that 1st down

Of course a flag...I'm sure it's on Cleveland.

and a drive killing flag on us

our screen game has been off all year

Now it's 1st and 20. That could kill the drive

good catch Bell

Flacco special ... that's a heart break

and that, as they say, is that

And that's it. Now it's over

Good time not today.

I just knew this game would be like this

Well, there is a chance, but everything that's been going wrong will have to go very right.

Originally Posted by Dawgs4Life

Kinda felt that way to. Bad match up for us with thier players healthy and after we beat them first time

That's the season. Just too many injuries to key people and patchwork backups over performing. I'm not going to complain, they brought the Browns way further than anyone would have thought after losing that many key people. Houston was just too much to get past.

Thanks for the ride Brownies; it was fun to watch.

Time to clean house

Back to the basement for us. It’s comfy there with no expectations. But please fire this staff

Ouch. I wish we could have played Jacksonville lol

Most embarrassing effort since 99. Biggest game , all eyes. Everyone on board and you prove why you’re just always going to be the browns

Browns should not have been thinking about that last game

This is what has been doing. INTs kill this team no matter who is at QB. Well there is always "next year"

Guarantee Baltimore and Pittsburgh wins

Bad ending to a fun season.

This website keeps crashing again.

symbolic

Sell the team Haslam. You couldn’t put a worse product on the field if you tried

Originally Posted by leadtheway

Are we still resting our starters? EMBARRASSING!

their offense is really, really good

I told my co workers the Browns defense was not as good as their
Ranking. They faced alot of gimpy QBs and back ups all year.
Very over rated defense to be honest

Wrong week for the Browns to lay an absolute stinker on both offense and defense. Embarrassing

Where's this great secondary at ...haha

yeah, its a tough end to a good season

Wow, fascinating. If only you were running the team, it would have all gone great...

Newsome needs to be traded

Worst team in playoffs

Well they were in it until the back to back pick sixes. This is why Flacco was sitting at home. Oh well, they came far with all the injuries, but it finally caught up with them. No tackles is a recipe for defeat. But I have to say, the defense was just as responsible. No impact from our best players.

Browns are a joke. And they always will be.

Screw you, Myles. You did. NOTHING today when we needed you the most.

Defense? Eff you. You were NEVER deserving of that ranking. And you let this team down like no other defense I can remember.

Screw you browns. Maybe NOT next year.

I guess Nathan Zegura over the top Homer tones
Are down to silence now

mah, what an embarrssing game

I said this in the regular season, I can't be mad if we get bounced in the first round, I just didn't want a heartbreaker OR get blown out. Looks like we are getting blown out

The truth can be cold at times
Like I Said the Browns never faced a hot QB all year

We got owned tonight. Sad.

Well, Jim Schwarz won’t be courted for any head coaching jobs. This team overachieved and got very lucky, but it all ran out today. I don’t think Flacco will be back. And I am second guessing the decision to rest everyone last week. Maybe if they had played, they would have stayed sharp.

Someone needs fired. Someone.

Sometimes you just lay an egg. We overachieved all season with the amount of injuries we had. It's amazing we got to the playoffs. I'm glad all the biggest losers on the board are having a ball tonight. Got to be some of the most miserable to people to be around in real life.

Injuries galore. I am proud of the fact that they did as well as they did. I am very disappointed thaty we couldn't win today, but we still had a great season.

Who and how will it fix this loss?

It's clear the Browns were not prepared for Stroud.

This is bad enough to get Stefanski and his entire loser staff fired. Good names out there . Pete Carrol, Bellichik, etc.
This is inexcusable. Fire this entire staff.

No ones getting fired.

Don’t be ridiculous.

we just simply ran into a buzz saw AND were out played/coached

Out coached and out played by a rookie HC, rookie QB, and rookie OC.

yes very true

Oh by the way the Texans get the Browns next 2 1st RD picks
Cause they traded for a over rated QB

This is a bad loss but I’m proud of my team. We were decimated with injuries and found a way to compete week after week.

After all the injuries there was no way I thought the Browns would make the playoff. The reason they did was because of Flacco and the defense. Both were disappointing today. They are not miserable people. Just tired of being disappointed by the Browns every year.

Well, that sucked. Thanks for keeping hope alive Joe and Ski. Can’t expect much more than we got. It was a miracle he got us to the playoffs this season.

They do not get 2025.

This year (2024) completes the trade.

So many fragile little children in the game day thread. Grow some coping skills kiddies. We’ll be back next season with a healthy team and a lot of players with a chip. No ones getting fired to help widdle feewings. Grow a pair.

Joe Flacco this, Myles Garrett that, Browns are Super Bowl bound, blah, blah, blah. Overrated defense. At least Schwartz probably stays. What a damn embarrassing effort today. Guys need to check themselves. You got punked by a ROOKIE QB. Badly. Sit down. Shut up. Stop reading about how good you are. You are so far away from being good it's not funny. Please put the work in this off season to become a genuine playoff contender. Tired of waiting for next year.

Flacco will definitely not be back next year.

Well at least they lost to a former The Ohio State University QB. LOL

I would definitely bring him back as a backup

Suck fest. Still amazed we even made the playoffs. Stroud is a beast.
