In the end the Browns had a chance to extend the longest winning streak in the NFL with a win over the horrendous Bucs. They decided to change their philosophy this year. In their 4 game winning streak last year their run to pass ratio:

37-19
49-18
46-17
49-11

yesterday against Tampa:

21-38

Obviously they can't keep with the ridiculous ratio they established out of necessity last year, but they became a much better team by becoming a running team. Jake Delhomme stinks bad. Perhaps not the level of Brady-Derek Quinn-Anderson bad but still bad. They need to run a lot. In their 4 game winning streak they ran 74 percent of the time. Yesterday they ran 35 percent. Tampa had the worst run defense in the NFL last year. Yeah, they make sense.

More fine work.

Remember the Cincy game just a few years back..down there?

That would have clinched a play off spot.Very windy....they threw like the dickens.DA had 4 picks, I think...and they lost, like 42-38.No?
