Sigh....We all know how this one sided game turned out. Ouch!!!!!

Dalton is a beast

Looking at the Browns O-line makes me cry. I miss a line without 4 UDFA. Oh and a 3rd round pick and a UDFA RB running wild behind that O-line.. Maybe we are doing it wrong here?

The Browns won more than a game tonight. They won Ohio.

2x Pro Bowl (2012, 2013) S Donte Whitner, who is from Cleveland before going to Ohio State, gave a legendary speech before the big game:

Browns staff reporter Kevin Jones:

Several players said Donte Whitner gave a rousing speech to the team. His message: "Our time is now."

Karlos Dasnby: Guys had tears in their eyes from Donte

Whitner's powerful speech. It got us so focused.

The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer:

"(He) shared his personal journey of overcoming adversity. He spoke of growing up with a father in prison and learning how to walk again after being hit by a car at age 6. He expressed what Cleveland and the "orange helmet" meant to him.

Joe Haden shed tears. Others did, too.

...

Haden said: "Donte just gave us real talk, a good speech. He let us know it's football, it's a game we've grown up playing and that it's our time. It's our time"

...

"All the guys walked up (after his talk) and shook my hand," Whitner said.

Life isn't easy. Neither was beating the Bengals in Cincinnati until a son of Cleveland shared his testimony and the importance of the orange helmet."
