The browns were just dominated by the NY Giants, at Cleveland!!!!  

Close games are the norm when you have 2 bad teams going against eachother.  Or 2 good teams going against eachother.

We got humiliated by the browns at home.  And the Giants, who are trash, just humiliated the team that made our Franchise QB say that we currently suck.

Let's see how our coaches game plan and runs plays on Monday.  Maybe we can turn things around.  Based on what happened today, we are still viable to winning the Division.  But that is only provided if this offense decides to play like an NFL offense.  If we run the current offense, we're gonna get smoked.

Despite underperforming, we were inches away from stealing the game at the end.  We didn't get humiliated.

Also, someone said previously that Daniel Jones carved up the Browns D which is an easy, if lazy, conclusion to make off of the stat line.  I watched most of that game and that's not really what happened.  90% of their stuff that I saw was dump offs in the flat which the Browns didn't defend well against.  That's more scheme than sheer talent overcoming talent.  Kudos to Dabol for game planning well for the Browns.  I'm sure he thoroughly dissected our game against them the week before and took what worked and incorporated it.  This is normal early season stuff and is why we should hold off making definitive conclusions about the Jags or any team through the first few weeks.

DJ also threw a bad interception early in the game that could have easily changed the entire complexion of things but that play was called back on a very weak roughing call which, incidentally, the Browns were also the beneficiary of a very weak roughing call early in the game the week prior against us which probably had an impact on the final result.
