Remember also one of the CLE scores came on a wrongful possession iirc. Absolutely not blaming the officiating, but you never want to be in a position to be at the mercy of a bad call.

The best thing about this result is that Browns fans will feel more upset.
That blocked field goal made my day. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while.

Still undefeated baby!
Can't wait to see how this tie messes things up for the Steelers at the end of the season.

I get the weather being dogshit, but Ben better come out during next week. I'm not interested in him figuring it out 6 games in.

Also Lev Bell tweeted something as if he was needed for that effort today.

Browns play one game, don’t win, clinch better record than last season.

That’s so Browns.

Yeah, I saw that. Conner, despite his fumble, was far from the reason we lost. He was a beast today.

I feel as though I wasted my entire day watching that game, which means it’s very unlikely I even attempt to stream a game that isn’t broadcast in my area.

JC had a terrific day, but in all honesty there were three or four plays that were TFL or short yardage that I could totally imagine Bell busting for 15 or 20.

Bell had one run longer than Conners 22 yard TD run on his 321 carries last year.

I agree completely. But if that’s the Conner we have week in/week out, I am more than happy.

Honestly, right now, the only thing I’m pissed about is that botched punt call. It was clear as day, and they managed to get it wrong.

The thing that makes me wonder, like.. remember when Bell went down and Deangelo Williams was great? And now Conner looks awesome? Bells great, but just makes me wonder how great he really is

Bell is most definitely talented, and a good player, but I think there is no question that his worth is inflated by the quality of our offensive line. The question is, how much is it inflated? That's why I'm not bullish at all on signing up to a large contract.

It’s slightly ajar, but not open enough to get a bottle out.

The observation about plays Bell might break is not about long runs. It's about taking more than the defense is giving. Williams and now Conner will maximize what is there for taking, but Bell was good for a handful of plays every game where he'd take getting bottled up behind the line and come up with a first down. Stuff like that is hard to replace.

Who was the color commentator for this game? From what little I watched of the game, he was awful.

I thought Arians was pretty good, actually. Didn't know he got a broadcasting gig.

Are we going to talk about Bell until week 11 or whatever it is?

Green was good (and always has been)...Arians seemed to crowd things a little bit...he's unnecessary...I know it was his first time and it sounded like it...but I don't hear a lot of upside there...

Gumbell and Green is a quality duo, no need to muck it up...

Sounds like I'm referring to Arians then. I heard the name Bruce, but didn't think it was him since I assumed he still had a coaching gig.

I’m not a fan of three man booths. I thought Arians was better in the second half than the first, but I’m not sure he has a voice I want to listen to for the 7 hours it takes to play an NFL game.
