Well i want to chiefs to be like the celtics of the 50s win the super bowl every year.

The Celtics won the Super Bowl?

In a curious coincidence, chunt is what we call Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.

OK...I'm the other Browns fan. I'm excited to see a playoff game that I actually have some interest in. Please...continue to take the Browns lightly. It's the only chance we have. Here's hoping you destroy the Packers in the Superbowl. The only thing I know about your city, is that I hitchhiked through it several times in the '70's....I wish I could remember more about it, but hallucinogenics did not enhance my memory as advertised. I'm hoping for a good game. Thanks for Dorsey. I thought he was an excellent GM, who made a career mistake by endorsing Freddie Kitchens. He really played a major role in turning our team around. ( Dorsey..NOT Kitchens )...Oh...and thanks for Hunt, too.

I always thought Sorenson was a poor mans Sorenson.

I assure you, the Chiefs coaches and players are not taking them lightly.

What the fans do have no bearing on the game.

This is Mahomes bias.

The reality is that this is true for nearly any QB in the history of football not named Mahomes.

It'd be true of peak Tom Brady, Joe Montana, you name 'em. Even Peyton Manning, who basically ran his own offense, called and ran plays in such a way as to make his reads easier and utilized a strong running game in order to be able to work off of play-action.

Well, and hear me out if you have heard this before, but there just is not a lot of knowledge that this place exists. I found this place because someone else did. It is an awesome place to come troll and have fun, but its just not out there a lot compared to Redditt and places like that.

This is a whole lot of yikes right here. Baker is absolutely a franchise qb. The Browns are lucky they didnt destroy this poor kid with the first two years of his career. Stefanski and Baker are going to win a lot of games together? Win the super bowl? Hard to say because with Josh Allen, and Mahomes in the AFC for the next 10-15 years, its going to be really hard for anyone outside of Buffalo, or KC to realistically win the super bowl. Those two qbs are that good. But Baker is much better than people give him credit for.

Not to mention if we actually get a defense that can stop someone, and Baker can form any chemistry with OBJ next year. Baker will join the elite qbs of the league . His jump back to his rookie year form this year the second half of the season has been phenomenal to watch.

This. Andy Reid's record off a bye, and i hadnt even thought of the rivalry between Baker and Mahomes. I cant in anyway imaginable think that Mahomes sees anything but lighting up the score board and beating the browns by 21+

This 100%. Pro sports teams (at least ones with halfway decent coaches) do not take other pro teams lightly. That’s as silly as when people say the Chiefs are “playing down” to their competition. That’s not a real thing in professional sports.

I think it is to a point. Take a look at how KC plays against lesser teams versus better teams. The play calling is more vanilla or they experiment more. Look at the Watkins pass to Mahomes against the Falcons. I highly doubt they make that kind of play in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think it gets blown out of proportion and turned into a black and white extremes (shocking for CP, I know)... playing down to competition doesn't have to mean "don't try".

Reid and Mahomes have already talked about putting in some new plays and what not... and yeah, they do a little bit of that in the regular season, but a more vanilla playbook is literally playing down to the competition or the situation. The Colts were doing all kinds of stupid shit this past weekend because it's the playoffs.

In last year's SB, Mahomes was diving head first into defenders on multiple occasions.... that doesn't mean he "doesn't try" in the regular season, but he definitely threw caution to the wind against the 49ers.

And when they look like complete shit against the Dolphins and then score 4 touchdowns in 8 minutes, or when they need that one drive to beat the Falcons, score a million times against the Texans in the playoffs.... call it whatever you want, lack of focus, playing down to competition, flipping a switch, beast mode... :shrug:

I agree with you that they are more likely to try some different things but I wouldn’t call that “playing down”. If anything that would be “coaching down”. “Playing down” infers that players don’t play as hard, aren’t as sharp/focused, and or think they can win the game by going through the motions. I just don’t think NFL players actually think that way.

Maybe it’s just a semantics thing. I get being emotionally charged to play in a post season game vs a game week 6 vs the Jets, I just don’t think the term “playing down” is very accurate.

Wait. What? Why the hell have I been screaming at the TV for 40 years? Someone should have shared this well before now.

What's shakin' Chief's Planet?

Browns fan here... made my way through the forum... Can't find the sale on air fryers, took notes on "Clever Ways To Salvage Ruined Brownies" (thanks in advance!), drank a half gallon of antifreeze and walked barefoot through the AIDS infested fires as suggested. Hope I'm worthy of a post or two.

First, I hate you. The biggest reason I hate you is because I wanted to draft Mahommes -- and scratched my head while all the bozo-beat-writers around the league kept saying he was "too raw" and "a project".

I guess more accurate term is "hated", I've come to terms now that the Brownies finally managed to navigate this decade's-old rift in the space-time continuum and draft a franchise QB. I'll roll with Baker. That said, I have some family in KC and joined them last winter in your beautiful city... just long enough to appreciate and admire your love for your Chiefs. Congrats to all you die-hard fans, I hope the journey to "champions", and returning to the top of the league (with possible dynasty on the horizon) was worth the wait. Savor it, waiting is hard, no one knows better than a Browns fan.

Sunday was one of my happiest days as a Browns fan. It's not just because we won a playoff game. We've changed a culture, we've overcome incredible odds, we've finally found our franchise QB... and we finally exercise a demon that has haunted us for decades. Top-notch talent from the top of the organization, down. Future so bright, regardless of what happens this Sunday afternoon.

I sat in the stands, ass frozen to the seat, in the '86 double overtime victory over the Jets... only to experience "the drive" eight days later. I was at the last playoff win over the Patriots in early '95... six days later we lost to the Steelers. The future was bright though -- Belichick and Saban on the sideline? C'mon man. THEN a pissy Art Model, jealous of our new baseball stadium, becomes a thief in the night. WE fought to keep our team, but since the return, nothing but heart-ache. BBS (Battered Browns Syndrome) is REAL.

Just wanted to check in and wish you chumps luck on Sunday. Don't expect that you'll need it, your team is on a different level. I'll cling to any hope and keep my vision clouded with the idea of "Any Given Sunday". More than this -- I look forward to some epic battles over the next few years. Nice to get our feet wet this year and feel like we "belong". Hope my Brownies are blessed with enough good fortune to keep the line rising up the graph so that we can compete on the same level. Couldn't pick two cities and fan-bases that are more deserving!

Part of it is that this is a bulletin board. It's somewhat old technology in 2021.

sorry downvoted by mistake. Well done first post. Welcome my good man.

Welcome, and great first post. I have a few family members and a friend who are Browns fans. You all deserve all the success coming to you, which hopefully ends Sunday. Maybe next year we can dash your hopes again in the AFCCG this time.

You need to move on from OBJ and never look back, he jacks up the chemistry of that squad... Baker and Stefanski feel too obligated to force feed him

How does that happen anyway? I see it often, but I've never accidently clicked on the wrong up/down vote button.

Haha. Saw the downvote and thought "damn, tough crowd!". Thanks and no worries.

If you slowly mouse over between thumbs up and down, there's a fair amount of white space that will highlight the thumbs down.... so, if you're closer to the middle, it'll probably wind up being a thumbs down.

DaFace separated them some a while back and I did some more as well... it probably happens a fair amount on phones.

We felt like you when we beat the Colts at home in the playoffs 2 years ago... You feel like the monkey is off your back... I've been looking for the most visited Browns Board? You seem to have a ton out there. Any suggestion?

Ive given him way more credit than others would. He is a game manager. A more aggressive, but also more mistake prone version of Alex smith. What I've seen Stefanski do brilliantly is work around the limitations of his QB. Lots of misdirection, bootlegs, scripted plays. It also helps that defenses are loading the box. But he's still reckless... Not as much with INTs anymore but taking some really stupid sacks. He's not going to be great at progressions. He takes more of an Alex Smith first read or bust approach. Sometimes he uses athleticism to buy time on a scramble drill. Others he holds the ball for an eternity and takes an unnecessary sack.

I think baker is worth extending for the same reason Alex Smith was good for us early even if I never wanted him long term. But with what CLE is building that should definitely not stop them from aggressively doing better just like kc did.

Have wondered this as well. The buttons have been moved far apart. Only thing I can figure is some people have really, really, REALLY fat fingers. I'm actually curious how these poor people are able to use a phone at all.

At first, i was like this, but when i came to the realization that outside of OBJ, there is not a single player on the Browns who can stretch the defense i flipped back to giving it one more year with Baker being completely comfortable in Stefanski's Scheme. Plus, getting rid of him puts a huge hit on the salary cap, where as keeping him one more year makes more financial sense.

Oh, I see that now.

The Baker i see you describing is the Baker we saw the first half of the season, and the Baker i have watched grow, and really show out against the Titans, Ravens, and then against the steelers where he was getting rid of the ball in an absurd 2.11 seconds is not like the guy described at all. Clearly you know my feelings for Alex, but Baker will attempt throws Alex could never dream of. I think the sky is the absolute limit for Baker. They showed several plays in the pitts game where baker was getting to his 3rd and fourth read. FIrst few games of the season it was first read or death.

Draft someone, bring in a free agent, whatever... your offense looked better the day he went out

That said I wasn't aware of the cap implications, so go ahead and find out if he's a fit in 2021... but I wouldn't hold my breath

dawgtalkers.net... great community and very well-run board.

Yeah, unless something has changed during the bye, my guess is that this game, like the other Chiefs games, will be close (7 or less).

Yeah, the manner in which we treat you has somehow less than no impact on the game.

Or, more eloquently, this.

I laughed. Well done.

I, and I anticipate most other fans on the board wouldn't be horrifically shocked by a Chiefs L. I mean Mahomes is the cursebreaker and all, but he can't do everything. And besides that, you can't completely wash away the beatings that we took. A whipped dog will always be a whipped dog.

That brother****ing Cheatriot team that beat us in 2018 AFCCG (which I was at BTW :Lin: ) was really bad. And FFS the Faid beat us.

Odds are we win, but dumber shit has happened. And more specifically, dumber shit has happened to us. And the confidence we show today, isn't blind, dumb, entitled arrogance, like a lot of brother****ing Cheatriot fans.

Hmmm, can't seem to quote both messages.

He's mostly right when speaking of Baker's body of work, but you're dead on with the progression over the season. We watched Baker run around "willy-nilly" in the pocket early on. Any sign of pressure and his processor was locked up. He's improved by leaps and bounds over the course of the season. Mistakes are way down, winning plays way up. Getting much better at going through progressions with the necessary pace. More than this, he's taken his mind off always looking for the big play (a huge problem early on) and will settle for positive yardage -- without missing many big plays. Baker has a plus arm and can make all the throws, his progress with all the other nuances and requirements of being a top-tier QB have been impressive. Still a work in progress, but Coach Ski has put him in a great system to reap the rewards of hard work. JMHO.

Mayfield looks like a completely different QB under Stefanski. His poise and decision making in the pocket are vastly improved. I think he's got a tremendous supporting cast around him on both O & D. The next step for him is to show consistency.

Sorry...was on my phone....:D

The separation didn't work.

The entire space between the two icons actually leads to a thumbs down. ;)

Hey Browns fans.

I forgot to tell you that I like Boobs. They’re my favorite thing(s).

Yet no "Boobs" thread here. It's a shame, boobs threads were common place on message boards forever, now they're a thing of the past. I say bring back the boobs.

Clearly you have yet to explore this entire site.

This ^^
There most certainly are Boobs.

and Red Heads......

Wow. I was joking but you were not. Good stuff, I like this place!

By all means, stay even after the game.

This is a great place to shoot the shit.

Or throw it. We have poop threads.

I will. Solid posters here, nice variety and plenty of humor. Puts most other team sites to shame. Hats off to the admins and powers-that-be.

How did you feel in Week 17 when it was 3rd and 1 and the Browns needed just one first down to seal their playoff berth against Pittsburgh, and Mayfield ran the off-tackle QB draw?

It takes decades of self-deprecation honed through the most insane circumstances to nurture a sense of humor like this board has.

You guys are a natural fit. You've been there and done that.

Lol. I saw "student body right" and my heart stopped. The ensuing adrenaline surge can't possibly be described here. Coach said that play was at the top of the chart as something that would work in short yardage... he kept it in his back pocket 'til it mattered most.

Baker had some gritty runs late in that game. Steelers had stifled Hunt and Chubb in the second half, Mayfield rushed for 44 and FOUR big first downs. It's not always pretty, but no questioning the heart.

Hopefully, the Chiefs are fully focused much like the other games they dominated this season. I think the Chiefs of the last 6 games of the season had their mental break & will now be fully focused on the Run It Back tour.

Oh trust me...there's a lot of boobs here! ROFL

Check out the Pictures section. Good stuff in there! :thumb:

The snack trays are located in the pictures subforum. Whatever you do, don’t go to the DC lounge.

with Kareem Hunt as his lead blocker. It is what Baker does honestly. The last few weeks he has started to use his legs more.

As recently as 2016-2017 the Browns went 1 - 32. Last year they were supposed to contend and fell way short, so you can understand the euphoria of their fans this year. They're going to try to run a lot on Sunday, so the Chiefs had better be prepared for that.

Beat them so bad they never want to watch football again

Not happening bro. The future is bright in Cleveland. Sunday's game might raise a fog, but it ain't casting no shadow. ;)

Wha-?:doh!:

nvm. You found it. Them.

A side note on the site some of my favorites:

In the Pictures forum: besides the Boobs, Nope nope noppity nope, Epic win/fail, The Spread, Women clothed/naked.

One I couldn't find is the Hall of Fame thread? Where did it go. THAT would definitely a thread to view. Shows a lot of history to include the genesis of McFisty.

Ah, found it. It is not linkable through the "Lounge". It shows from the "ChiefsPlanet" first link.

Another interesting perk of the board is the eclectic nature of the threads: sous vide cooking, handyman corner, pets, poop, gardening tips, dude draws "cartoon" pictures of posters et. al.

Quite entertaining and can be a great time waster:)
