Well, well, well. The Cleveland Browns are now 10-5, with one game away from clinching a playoff spot in the AFC North. It's been a long time coming, and the Cleveland fanbase is ready now more than ever. This was a game that was so enjoyable to watch and the "W" made it all worth while. Now, I will say, when Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the secondary came in the game, things took a slight turn around.. unfortunately. Let's just be thankful that didn't cost us the game.
This was one of those games that I was confident on the win, but I was more concerned about us being on the road. We are 2-4 on the road, and it doesn't worry me too much, but 41% of my attitude was "skeptical". Nevertheless, my Browns played with endurance and we even had Amari Cooper break a team record with 11 catches for 245 yards, passing Josh Gordon with 261 yards. Amari was doing his thing guys! It was all so golden. Amari with the tip toe catches, Flacco hitting his receivers with the 3rd down conversions and let's not forget Kareem Hunt with his powerful dominance grabbing those first downs and rushing TD's when we needed them. A phenomenal performance by the guys from Cleveland... Let's go!
From the very first play of the game, Flacco throwing that deep ball to Cooper, to "DTR" grabbing that 2-point conversion we needed, the game was not just fun to watch, but so enlightening to see how the Browns are playing collaboratively. Since Joe Flacco has came to this Cleveland Browns team, there has been a since of calmness and severe determination for the future of this team. I believe that the quarterback is the most important person on the team and also the leader; meaning, when they have a sense of the field and a good read with your receivers, plays will work and 1st downs will be made. Flacco's accuracy and readiness for passing on the field is one of a veteran most defiantly, but he's 38, and hasn't played an NFL game in about a year and some change. Who would really expect a quarterback of this nature to have 300+ passing yards in three consecutive games? I'll wait.
Well, Cleveland, we can honestly say that we have a quarterback that our head coach and staff can work with, along with the players, of course. Beating the Texans does make the Browns 1 game away from securing a playoff spot in the AFC North. This is outstanding. However, we have to make sure that as a team we keep our focus, and play to do nothing but win. We can't worry about other player stats and facts, we can't dwell on any plays that don't work and what should've happened. Move on and make changes accordingly. As long as we keep this defense crump tight, which I'm super confident in Jim Schwartz and his extraordinary mind, so we will be just fine.
I will end saying this, the Browns is not a team you want to take lightly. With their exceptional defense, to Joe Flacco's precise and patient passing, this is a team I can see going all the way. Mark my words, do not be surprised if you see us as Super Bowl contenders. We have the talent and determination. We have a great quarterback. We have a great head coach and staff. We have what it takes to win it ALL. We some DAWGS!!
Here we go Brownies, Here we go! Woof Woof!!
