Outplayed, out coached, outclassed. Those are the first 3 words that come to mind when reflecting upon the Browns playoff performance this evening.

As the Browns fans always say...There's always next year.

I had a feeling CJ and the Texans would put the challenge to them and keep it close. I never dreamed that put the smack down on them like that.

Maybe another example on why you play your starters in week 17.... lost all momentum.

While the Texans played well a lot of it was just terrible Browns play.

Now they are also off to offseason - where they are about 14 million over the cap...

Maybe the AFC North isn't a Goliath , after all.

Come on!  Let Lamar do his Playoff node dive before you bang on the AFCN....also the Browns were always on borrowed time.  They got Flacco'd.

The Browns D didnt show up at all.

Flacco’s TWO pick-6’s didn’t help. Lol

That or Stroud is the next Mahomes….and FWIW….he might be.

We didn't play our starters in week 18 and we went all the way to the Super Bowl. 



P.S. The Browns clinched their playoff spot in week 17 on Thursday vs the NY Jets.

The Texans obviously watched the hell out of the film from their first meeting with the Browns on Christmas Eve.  Every standard play that Cleveland likes to run in any given situation seemed to be perfectly diagnosed and snuffed out, and on the other side of the ball they just simply executed and let the speed of their weapons handle the rest.

Yeah, I noticed that.

The Texans were storming every play. 

It was fun to watch..........

 

Was constantly texting my friend from college that's a die-hard Browns fan!

(He's from Columbus, so I couldn't hate on him too much since Ohio State was my dream school, but it was always run to rip on him).

At least we didn't do the one and done schtick.. The whole " at least we made it to the playoffs"  thing was always overblown . For Browns fans ..At least they got to kiss their drunk and passed out sister along the way.. Congratulations!
