Quote:I nominate this thread as one of the best ever. On a message board where many fans criticize players, coaches, and the general manager, I am only reading praise even from the Debbie Downers. It's such a good feeling to have a hard time finding something we did wrong, especially on a defense that was ranked dead last in September.


Gus Bradley talked about how we got better every week and everything came together Sunday. He added we had fun out there. I think that was both the cause and effect of how well everyone played. Bradley only had good things to say about the defense until someone asked him about losing Poz for the year. Even then he said although it is a big loss, we will be OK without him.


For those who are not very excited because the Browns helped us, think about this: No team ever wins a game without getting some help from the opponent. Every team has injuries. All coaches make bad decisions. Even All-Pro and HOF caliber players help their opponents sometimes. You are crazy if you think just because our opponent was the Browns, we should not get excited.


Game balls go to Telvin Smith, Paul Posluszny, and the entire defensive line.
