DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2023 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 31 Jaguars 27 How to Win

NO, that's not right,

If you want to win today you have to run and run aggressively and right up the gut, right north and south.

Even a @uick cursory look at the Jags shows they are adept at stopping the misdirection, and the reverse field plays, run or screen,
but,
so was Tenn. Tenn had about the best run D you could imagine, at the time they and the Browns kicked off, and they did well,
but,
the Browns didn't give up on the run in that game, and the Browns threw it deep, and the Browns won.

Take a look at the game in 22, against the Buccaneers and Tom Brady that the Browns won...

Defended the pass, and Ran the Ball, the two pillars of the Browns winning effort that week.

How to win?
Whatever it takes, because this a playoff game,

and that doesn't mean passing more than running, only it means passing deep a couple of times and staying committed to establishing a run game.
You have the best two tackles in Christian and Hudson in all of football, and whatever it takes
establish the Run,
Get field goals or touchdowns every drive
accumulate points throughout
dismiss anything the other team does offensively ... it's the nfl, their plays on offense don't matter, all teams do things, they aren't special, and they will commit mistakes which will haunt them.

You do whatever it takes because this is a playoff game, you are not only playing to stay ahead of the bengals, but the bills and steelers too.

and that means a commitment to establish the run, Even if Tony Fields is your only healthy running back.

No,
When the Browns win they run the ball well.
Run against a team because YOU ARE THE BROWNS, and flip/ their ranking, because You are at home and they are the only idiot team dumb enough to decide to show up today and suit up against you. screw them,
forget their overrated ranking,
what does that mean, it doesn't mean anything,
they can't stop the Browns running game they haven't even played the Browns yet,

oh, so they have been able to be in position to stop the misdirection runs.
That will only work IF THE BROWNs CALL Misdirection RUNs

IF YOU RUN IT RIGHT AT THEIR backsides, RIGHT UP THE GUT, then the Jaguars will crack, crack like a low @uality egg.

AND COMMON SENSE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL.

Whatever it takes.
Football one 0 one, ONE Oh ONE, Establish the run,
and throw deep a couple of times.

same NFL since the nineteen sixties

I'm actually quite pleased we don't see this the same way. I'm guessing you've never been involved in anything that requires strategy.
