The Browns left it all on the field tonight and overall played well IMO.
Obviously a win would have been better but Cleveland fans can be proud and whoever they eventually face in the playoffs should be worried.
uh...they way they played the 2nd half tonight is nowhere close to how bad they have played historically...

Lamar Jackson denies pooping during ‘Monday Night Football’
The Ravens won 47-42 on Monday night, and despite much speculation, Lamar Jackson says he did not take the Browns to the Super Bowl in the process. During the fourth quarter, Jackson, 23, jogged to…nypost.com

Still trying to decide if the offenses are that good or if it was just terrible defense
I wanted to chime in before MNF, but held off. I think comparing Lamar Jax to Kaep is unfair. Lamar won the MVP award in his age-23 season. We'll see how his careers develops, as obviously he'll need to improve his pocket-passing and playoffs results. OTOH, Kaep was and is overrated IMHO. His numbers really aren't special and nothing to brag about if you subtract the two playoffs games when he destroyed the Packers.agreed. In college, he just looked like an athlete that could easily out-athlete everyone on the field. That's all I thought of him. His first two years in the league definitely surprised me, but I think he's now stabilized at his norm. I hope he doesn't fall into Kaepernick territory--great tools, but zero brains--but it might be heading that way.
LOL you have a ridiculous definition of terrible. He didn't pass for much yardage, but statistically his passer rating was 115 while his ESPN QBR was a near-perfect 99.5. The Ravens don't win the game without Lamar.Choke.
The Browns should have won. Lamar had a terrible night and still they won.
Mayfield had a good night and still lost....cursed?

IMO he's definitely going to have to shift to a pass-focused attack. It's not really about losing the raw speed; a sprinter can maintain that for a decade (see Usain Bolt). The big problem is that rushing backs take a ton of punishment and are always just one bad tackle away from a season-ending injury. The shelf-life of a run-first gimmick QB or really any RB is fairly short (on average).I never thought Kaepernick was very good or really even NFL material. Far as I'm concerned that Superbowl appearance was a fluke.
Jackson is FAR more talented although I still have doubts about him being successful when he (inevitably) loses that "first step" acceleration.

Totally understand. Since I am a long time suffering Fins fan (way back to the days of air it out of Marino and the Marks brothers (Clayton and Duffer))
It's Cleveland. It's as if they just smoke weed and play impaired all the time on defense.Until last night, I thought the defenses had somewhat figured out how to stop Jackson's run first attack, but last night it seemed he was unstoppable. So we will see in the playoffs (if they get in) how they do. He did miss a couple of open receivers though. I still think Mahomes is in a class by himself though. Just fantastic arm strength and accuracy, and decent running ability when necessary.
As far as Jackson goes, hopefully as he gets older he can transition more from the run heavy attack to a more balanced run/pass level.
I think Kaepernick's new "career" is more easy to make millions with, and with far less pain and homework involved.I would say Alex Smith has been a more successful QB than Kaepernick however neither one of them has been all that good. Smith however would be a solid choice as a backup for most NFL teams while all Kaepernick would be in that role is a distraction.
And "taking a shit" is sort of like a cramp!
It was clear that Lamar got his "release" once he came back in.
