Both our QBs deserve game balls for a great game as
well as Big Joe for making some big catches. |
| froggy60 |
Derek did a nice job coming in off the bench
Joe finally got his chances and made the most of it.
Braylon showed he is a playmaker. |
| vintage1974 |
Wow. Feels really good to be able to give the O-Line
a gameball. It would be really nice if we could see this effort week to
week. Heiden way to show up big today. We got nothin but love for you
big guy! I gotta give props to the D, especially Wimbley again, even
though I had to give all my gameballs to the Offense. Willie M, you
showed up in the game, I'm shocked! It only took until week 11. Think
you could do that a little more often? Holly, sweet pick in the zone! It
was also nice to see that Davidson remembered Joe J was still on the
team! K2, clutch catch in OT, nobody cares that you only had 1, that 1
counts for 10 as far as I'm concerned. Great game. I almost felt like it
was 86 again (if only for a few hours)! |
| appraiser |
great effort. |
| losangelesdawg |
For once there were actually more than 3
players/coaches that deserved votes.. let's hope this will become a
trend! |
| slambar |
David "NEO" Anderson is a no-brainer for a gameball.
I have to give Charlie one for the proverbial 'moxie' of coming back
with what could have been a broken wrist to lead the team to a game
tying. Holly gets it for single-handedly stopping KC with an
interception on one of the few defensive stops in regulation. |
| schehlk |
Maybe beginners luck, but Anderson looked good. Maybe
Mr. Anderson can beat the matrix of the Steelers. It was good to see
Steve Heiden again and Joe finally had a big game. |
| teedogg |
If the O-line could do this week after week this team
would be looking at a winning record. |
| jdailey23 |
So many guys deserve a game ball, only three get a
vote, so i'll just type them. Frye for a good second half, the entire
Defense for stepping up when it needed too. The entire offensive line,
the RB's and Winslow for still showing how much he cares for the game
and running his routes perfectly and finally getting a chance in OT. If
that was Randy Moss or some other chump, that pass in OT wouldnt of been
close! Phil Dawson and big Z and the entire Special teams!!! Kill
Pittsburgh! |
| mes92658 |
Sign Simon Frazer to a LONG-TERM contract !!! All he
has ever done is "Be Around The Ball". This is a Good Thing !!!!! |
| ajm37 |
Great Win Over a Playoff Contendor. We kept fighting,
Defense Stepped Up when it Had to |
| brownsfanmn13 |
About time a creative game plan. I have no idea why
they waited so long to try some creative play calling. Great to see.
Let's hope they are able to carry this over to the Pukesburg game. |
| buckeyeindenver |
Derek Anderson was stunningly effective throwing the
ball, even more so once I watched how brutal Jay Cutler was making his
first start on Monday night. And that run has the making of a local
legend, even if it took him about five minutes to cover 30 yards. Props
to Charlie Frye, too. He's been tough as nails all season, has never
complained, and with the ridiculous amount of hits he's taken this year,
it was only a matter of time before he went down.
Joe Jurevicius had the kind of game I was expecting from him all season
long--going over the middle, getting open, and moving the chains. Hope
he's going to be that involved in the offense from here on out.
And if this game plan was any indication of what Jeff Davidson has in
store, let's keep him around for an off-season so he can install his own
offense. I loved the shovel passes (flea-flickers, not so much), and did
I actually see the Browns run a screen pass? Hallalujah! |
| playbrowns |
Way to go Mr. Anderson.
Huge interception by Holly, kept us in the game.
Davidson was creative, and the shovel pass play to Wright was genius. Do
we finally have a play to beat the blitz? |
| nagol |
Finally something that looks like an offense. Use
Cribbs more! |
| frasher.11 |
Anderson came on in releif and did an excellent job.
Dawson hits a game winner. Wright had some tough runs and that screen
pass kept them in the game. |
| zkramp |
For not failing us and having someone knock the ball
out of Anderson's hand as he galloped through the Chief secondary in
overtime like a clumsy elk holding the ball like a stale loaf of bread. |
| bassline |
With a game like this, you GOTS to give the kicker
some love, because it was a complete team effort, starters and backups
in all three phases of the game. And props to the fans that didn't bail
when we were down by 14 - the full lower stands when the winning FG
sailed through the uprights was great! |
| section 527 dawg |
D.A. - WOW!!! Its about time Willie "Stealing a
paycheck" McGinest showed up for a game!! |
| astew24 |
Anderson, Phil, and Willie obviously deserve, but the
team played it's most complete game of the season. Now we need to do
that again against Pukesburgh. |
| pseudoezra |
Davidson kept a good balance of run/pass. Didn't let
it boring, took some shots, and even some trickery. Kudos. |
| mistermagoo_21 |
FACT: Frye was kicking butt when hurt. Too many in
the Oxbow lynch-mob are pretending Anderson outdid him. That said,
Anderson really showed tons of potential, and I hope there WILL be a QB
controversy! |
| jdawgy |
Browns Fans finally helped the team by making noise
when the chiefs were on offense. Also cheering for the Browns helps to
motivate them. |
| eezer58 |
Troy Smith will win the Heisman, and probably get
overlook by the Browns. Even if he is available in the second round. Do
we have some un-noticed depth at quarterback? Don't count on Frye, he
has never and will never play in bigger games than Troy already has... |
| wholesaler1972 |
it was great to see our qb's get some time and then
do something with it. |
| aqib |
I am not going to hop on the Anderson bandwagon yet.
I am not going to be like one of those fans who was asking the street
vendors if they had Anderson jerseys. But I do want at least two more
starts out of him to see if he should be in the mix next year. Braylon
made great catches on horrible throws by Frye. Droughns ran well. This
is what we expected from him all year. |
| willy15 |
More than these 3 deserve Gameballs. It was a Team
Effort. |
| cashmoney216 |
For the real fans that stayed on Sunday even after we
went down by 14 points...thanks for not giving up! That is what the NFL
is supposed to feel like! |

When you win as a team and show heart after a
crushing defeat. No one is goat. |
| froggy60 |
Todd still needs to get blitz packages back and
going.
Matt has not impressed since coming here at all.
How many empty seats were there. Come support team as a die hard fan. |
| bendal |
The entire defense gets a goat because they couldn't
stop the Chiefs all day. |
| vintage1974 |
I cannot pass out any goathorns this week. Everyone
stepped up when it was on the line. I can only pray this is a sign of
good things to come. |
| slambar |
Sean Jones would just get a mini or half-goathorn for
dropping an easy interception. Northcutt, whose job is to catch the
ball, dropped one in his hands. Dinkins gets one for fumbling the
kick-return; nothing can change a game quicker than a ST turnover. |
| schehlk |
Sorry no goat horns for a win. Way to keep your heads
up and pull out a win. The Browns could have given up, like a lot of
fans have, but no they are still trying. GO BROWNS! |
| teedogg |
No goats this week. Short week coming up. PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE play four tough quarters against dem stoopid Stoolers!!! |
| iwillpierceyou |
NOBODY, this was the best game I've seen from them in
years! |
| jdailey23 |
Charlie doesn't get any respect and keeps getting hit
after the play, screw the officials |
| mes92658 |
RAC for throwing the red flag on a ball
that was CLEARLY a reception. |
| brownsfanmn13 |
For once, I can't really think of anyone deserving of
a goathorn. |
| buckeyeindenver |
The pass defense, particularly against Tony Gonzalez,
was pretty brutal. I know the guy's the best tight end to ever play the
game, but can somebody, anybody stay within 5 yards of him when he goes
out in a pass pattern, please?
And as much as I like Dick Enberg, was it really necessary to hear how
KWII said he was better at 90% than any other TE at 100% over and over
and over again? He said that about 4 months ago and he was joking so
let's move on. |
| playbrowns |
Dinkins, you are not a returner. Get as many yards as
you can but DONT FUMBLE THE FOOTBALL.
Pool got schooled all day by Gonzo.
Learn to catch the ball Dennis. Ive said it before, and I will say it
again: Please exit from my football team. |
| frasher.11 |
A lot of empty seats, sort of fitting because the
team gave up the week before. |
| mjo55555 |
When are we going to see the "best WR in the 2006
draft" on the field? This retarded policy of not playing rookies by
Coach Crennel is not helping us. Northcut is a respectable special teams
guy and Wilson should be the number three, if for no other reason than
to find out what we have and whether or not we need to find a #3 in the
offseason. |
| dixiedawg |
Hard to hand out goats in a big win, but Dinkins
needs to hang on to he ball! Oh, and Mal Moore is a complete dipwad. |
| caryncbrownsbacker |
The TV announcers are always lame and negative toward
the "LOWLY BROWNS" |
| zkramp |
Anderson almost made me have a heart attack as he
galloped through the Chief secondary in overtime like a clumsy elk
holding the ball like a stale loaf of bread. |
| bassline |
Mo C gets some posthumous goathorns for holding this
team down so bad. 1-5 with him, 3-3 without. And since PITTSBURGH STILL
SUCKS, they get lots of goathorns, too, and for once, they're not
attached to their DATES. |
| section 527 dawg |
Frasier gets a goat because he went to Ohio State -
As should LeCharles Bentley - because he went to Ohio State - The BCS is
a sham - and my ass still hurts from getting screwed in it by the
BCS...being a Michigan Fan!! |
| pseudoezra |
Kind of in jest, but it's nice to see what this
offense is capable of when the D is kept off balance, when play calling
is creative, and the players execute. |
| zodypop |
I can't think of any; I actually can't think of
any.... aaaaaahhhhhh! |
| jdawgy |
Not much to goat about. Should have done a better job
on Tony Gonzales, you might not be able to stop him but you need to
contain him more than that. Plus that TD play he was wide open! |
| eezer58@yahoo.com |
Draft team - The reason Charlie went down is because
of the poor drafting of Offensive linemen. Whomever is at
quarterback...run for your life!!! |
| wholesaler1972 |
the university of michigan is the most arrogant
school in the country. lloyd carr belongs in the arena league. |
| aqib |
Hello defense? Are you home?
Frye gets a goat from me because despite his stats he had horrible
throws the Edwards and JJ made up for them.
The Fans get a goat for a few things:
1) The Braylon hate - if he played at OSU the fans would be cheering his
every move.
2) The Frye excuse making - He wouldn't be getting a pass if he didn't
have an Ohio birth certificate. Don't give me the spin about how hard he
works or how he had a Kosar poster when he was a kid. I had a Kosar
poster as a kid and I would work hard if I was being paid as a pro
athlete, but I can't throw either.
3) Not showing up (I'd say about 5,000 fans) and leaving early (about
another 2,000 fans) |
| willy15 |
No complaints on this one. |
| glabonne |
The best Team game of the Crennel era! No Goats from
me! |
