Before the season kicked off, not many people picked us to win the division. The Ravens were pretty much crowned the AFC North before the season started. Many in here, & the talking heads picked the Ratz. On "paper" they were the Champions.

We got a 5 game lead, with 5 to go & the Steelers own the tie-breaker...

Down go the Paper Champions a mere 2/3 of the way through the season

We scraped by a team that played RGIII and Trace McSorely at QB and had a host of other backups starting. I'll take my win quietly this week. That was an embarrassing display of football from the Steelers.

They are the Browns... they will brown things up at the end of the season... they always do... they have a favorable schedule and should be a lock to at least make the playoffs... but we all lnow they will be lucky not to have some star player go on ir for explosive diarrhea and snowball into losing out and missing the playoffs or some other dramaticly pathetic end...

Honestly it could well come down to a win and you are in scenario for tgem the last week and they blow it to Mason Rudolph and our jv squad... thats Cleveland-esque right there....

Meh. In the end, it was simply a win.

He may have been about the 17th best in the division on that int.
But it's the simple win that matters, and very few qbs have put up either an 11 or 15 game win streak in their career.

I mean the INT was on a 4th down where he had nowhere to throw the ball. Would it have been better for him to throw it out of bounds? They get the ball either way. I wish he would have just throw it up to where a player was.

On this day, the way the WR's and Ebron played, they would have dropped it anyway.
 
On fourth down you always always try to make a play... there is no point in not trying... i watched Eli throw it away on fourth down and get defended by the announcers.. it’s idiotic

Something many over look is this will be the first year in ages that the Browns won't be picking top 5 yet alone top 10. How will they be able to sustain this caliber of team if they can't continuously restock with top 5 draft pick talent.......????
