Well it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. A win that the front office didn't want to happen. A win that the Browns were in no position to complete. A win that is a major boost for players and fans alike.
I've made no bones about the fact that this hasty fire sale that was impending, was a horrible idea. And the rumors this week of every player on the offense short of Joe Thomas and Alex Mack being for sale didn't help. I thought this team would get humiliated, but it didn't happen. In fact it was one of the most entertaining football games this team has played in a very long time.
The defense once again played extremely well, but it was the offense who looked really solid at least for one half. Which is one half more than they have looked good in the previous two games. This bodes well for Brian Hoyer, who becomes the only one of 19 Cleveland Browns starting QB since 1999 to actually have a winning record. But the true star of the game was Josh Gordon. A guy rumored to be on the trading block, Gordon certainly put a dose of uncertainty into that impending decision.
Regardless the Browns showed that no matter what the decision makers want, the players will not mail in this season. So guess what Joe Banner, Mike Lombardi they are going to play to win, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about that.
