Glad they survived Harbaugh's boneheaded management of timeouts. Challenging a TD score, which is already subject to a booth review, was a new low for him. Thankfully this team wins despite his awful game management. I did not understand that tactic at all. I am glad to see others were also puzzled!

Open note to Joe Flacco. You were supposed to throw 4 TD's and lose not throw 3 TD's and win. Come on man, I thought we had a deal...

I saw the postgame interview with Flacco. He looks thrilled to be back and having success. Happy for him but wish it was anywhere else.

Greatly overpay Watson to underperform and get injured and then divisional rival's former QB who owned you comes in and outplays your franchise QB.

How many teams passed on Flacco this year that really could have used him (good defense, just need a qb)? I know he reached out to the Jets and Pats and some point earlier in the season. I don't mind him being a Brown honestly. I don't like the Browns, but had he gone to the Steelers I think I would have been pretty scarred over that.

He wasn't very good there but they did add a bunch of weapons this past offseason, so maybe he salvages their season somewhat.

Last year's team was better, and he did lead them to a 4td come from behind victory. I'm more surprised that he actually reached out and wanted to play for that dumpster fire of a franchise

Just watched the highlights from yesterday. He made some very good throws. But there was a 3 yard behind the LOS pass on 3rd down that I remember all too well from his time in Baltimore and his INT was terrible. Have to think they'll become more common.
But they had him getting the ball out quickly, which worked well, as opposed to his later career here where he'd be looking...looking...looking for an open WR and get sacked.

That's about the only way to use a 39 year old tree Browns fans are all saying "sign him to a three year deal!" and think he is a better option than Watson at this point. Wonder if the Cleveland PD is already conjuring up a sting op to catch Watson with prostitutes to get out of the contract?

No, THE most Brown's thing would be if, now that he is back on the practice team, the Chargers sign him away from them. That would be fun.

He was never off it; they elevated him to play yesterday. I *think* that the team can sign the player to their regular roster if someone tries to poach him. Which at this point the Browns would surely do. That would leave only the question of who gets cut or demoted, but I am sure the Browns have that figured out. Wait... this is the Browns, so I'm actually not sure about that. But someone on that roster has a Sword dangling above them and I imagine they know who they are.

He was the best non-Rodgers option, but obviously the people running the Jets were too busy planning their SB parade to consider what would happen if an aging Rodgers got injured.

In other news, somehow Miami blew a decent 4th quarter lead to the Titans.

Helps us out.
I can't believe Miami lost that game. That was Ravens-like.

Figures. I turned it off and went to bed when the Dolphins made it 27-13.
Well, I haven't been on the Dolphins hype train from the start. They still haven't beaten a team that had a winning record, now they are losing to really bad teams.

Not to mention, Miami has a really difficult finish to the season. They needed that game last night.
They have the Jets coming up but then finish with Dallas, @baltimore and Buffalo.
That final game of the season could determine the division. Buffalo already beat Miami.

That final game of the season could determine the division. Buffalo already beat Miami. I wouldn't even count the Jets out of that game. Division game, tough defense. If Wilson has his once in a blue moon good game, they could beat Miami. On the other hand, we could easily lose to Miami.
