They went on the road and beat a solid playoff team, they had less penalties than they have in week 1's in the past and produced against a very good defense..no need for a SB chant but its far from a nothing week 1 win..like every other team in the NFL they need to clean up some things for week 2 and keep building...

You guys keep using that word “agenda”…what exactly is the agenda? The Browns have a great defense. Our offense was solid in the first round. Not so much in the second. What agenda?
You’re going on and on about the offense in a thread about the defense. You started in the very first reply. Why?

Nothing in the OP about the CLE D either, why bring it up in this thread?

First game time for these guys, I was surprised by the improved discipline shown on both the edges and middle running lanes. BIG improvement over the kamakazi-style Quinn had these guys playing. Cleveland is a very solid team, this wasn't the NYGiants we whipped up on like last year. It's a good win, let's accept it, be happy and move on to the Saints.

The browns did not have either starting OTs and their Starting RB.

Just something to keep in mind.
Defense will probably not look that good all year nor will the offense look that average.
CLE is a playoff caliber team led by a top 5 defense.

Dallas is simply good in all 3 phases.
Pretty wild given the youth and lack of vet talent addition.

Parsons was incredible and is clearly the best player we have on defense. Physically he has no equal out there. Bigger stronger faster. Exactly what I would expect week 1. I dare anyone to go back and watch the Green bay game and compare it to the Browns game. You would say that there is no way that Parsons is the same player. He literally stood around and watched. Did nothing.

I mean the passing offense didn't look too good. It's not an excuse
The passing offense looked fine.
Grading it out after opening up a 24-point lead is silly stuff.
They were just killing off the game with risk free stuff.
CeeDee spent the first half getting open at will against arguably the best 2 starting CBs in football.
Blitzes were handled.

And the run game was there in goal line and short yardage.

Cowboys disadvantages I heard:

-Played on a grass field where apparently they're terrible
-Playing the #1 defense last season on the road no less
-No preseason experience for most starters
-Started 3 rookies including against Myles Garrett and Cooper some of the Browns best players
-Lost Bland
-Lost all rotational pass rushers
-Always sluggish in the 1st game


Sounds like we would have lost

Because it’s a forum? This is how forums work. If a mod didn’t have a issue why do you?

I watched the highlights again. What stood out was Jordan Lewis. I can see why he's on Amon Ra st browns list. He was acting a fool after the whistle :laugh: in case you want to know what I talk about regarding bland and diggs late in the season @TheMarathonContinues

Then don’t play shocked when people say it’s easy to see the agenda. Go hop in the Overshown thread and talk about the rookie o line and how great then CLE D is. Makes total sense.

I’m not shocked by anything here I know we have a bunch of weirdos. And then you want to talk about an agenda when you clearly have one? I’m suppose to believe you got triggered because of what I said? Please.
