Interesting questioned posed on the OBR: At what point did the Browns season start spiraling out of control?

My two guesses would be the shell shock loss to the Jets. Haven't been able to close since.

Or...

When the Watson suspension went from 6 games to 11.

This season has been a mess since the whole quarterback situation was mishandled. It's been a circus ever since.

By no means do I think that Joe Woods is a good coach but, other than the two Malik's at DT, this defense is pretty much the same as it was last year, with a few additions. I think it's a combination of who sucks. The shitty DT play is on Berry with his not seeing IDL as "value."

Woods will have to go, and he can take Priefer with him, but how long is Stefanski going to stay loyal to this guy (Woods) before it affects his (Stefanski's) job security? He may already be Dead Man Walking with Watson's preference for Eric Bienemy before he demanded a trade.

The season was lost when Watson couldn’t play. What were you expecting? Best case is kinda what we got, minus a win. Want Watson to come back and get reps in meaningful games, and the season is a win — provided he looks good and like the future.

As it should be...

now Stefanski’s play calling isn’t the only thing that stinks https://t.co/RpjMwHnpuu

Surprised they found a way to win this one. Even when they got it down to the 3 yard line I was saying "punch it in, but don't fumble....I don't trust a FG here." But they did it.

Njoku's catch was unbelievable but when he did it I was screaming "go for 2! You know you'll blow it in OT." Plus I was worried York would shank the PAT.

Cooper/Chubb were their usual selves, minus the Cooper drop.

Defense played very well today. Garrett actually made some meaningful plays when it mattered. Emerson is emerging as a solid corner.

Brissett was solid again and deserved much better than a 4-7 record while leading this team.

Next Sunday's what we've been waiting for.

Sad times rooting for CLE to win so PIT can get a higher draft pick

Cleveland likely isn't going to make a run here but I'm rooting for them so Houston DOESN'T get a higher draft pick.

Thank you for your sharing,That's pretty cool.

Heading into today #Bucs QB Tom Brady was 218-0 when leading in the final 2 minutes of regulation by 7+ points including the playoffs.

The #Browns  made that 218-1 with a win today in OT.

Browns finally did the opposite. 

Hope Watson can come back and we can handle a team tanking. If they get to 5-7, with Cincy up, Watson will at least have 2 games of must win/meaningful games.

Interesting..

It will be interesting to see.  Most guys coming back from a long injury lay off would probably need 3-4 games to regain form.  But then Watson didn't play all last year, either. No idea how rusty he'll be or for how long.

Pretty sure Houston has a weak run defense. Stefanski should lean on Chubb/Hunt and try to get Watson slowly acclimated with the running game. 

This offense is going to open up ridiculously with Watson coming back. No more stacking the box, trying to make Jacoby beat you. The running game should flourish.

Watson's ability to run will also help extend some of these drives that have fizzled.

They’re so bad. 

Still bad. 0 points by the offense yet… vs a trash team

At least we got a win, but it was ugly. Stefanski still doesn't want to run the ball when we are running all over them, and Watson looks terrible. Hopefully Watson can turn his career and life around. Giving up three first round picks for him is a huge gamble. Those trades never seem to work out for the team giving up all of those picks.

We'll take it.

Defense finally showed up STRONG and the special teams (DPJ/Fields) came up big. Just what the doctor ordered when you have a QB coming off a 700+ day layoff.

Cleveland sports talk fans might be close to the worst. Was listening to the post game show when I went on my evening walk and I heard 3 consecutive callers with either "why is Watson getting a pass" and "Baker would've done better." The hosts of the show were pretty clear that Watson didn't play well and it will take time but there were a few glimpses of what this offense can be when he gets it together. I find it hard to believe that one of the most accurate passers in NFL history is suddenly going to forget how to hit receivers.

With that being said, he's going to have to be monumentally better if they want to have a chance in Cincy.

Browns/Rats game has been moved to 4:30pm on Saturday 12/17.

They have also lost Sione Takitaki for the year with a torn ACL.

Tough one - he's at least the third linebacker lost for the season.

Third MLB lost for the season. Wonder if it has anything to do with their weak ass IDL not protecting the LB's?

DPJ named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Not sure we've seen that since the Cribbs era.

Travis Benjamin had a few solid games. Not sure he ever got ST POW though.
