I’m not convinced the #Browns are “real” or even “good.” QB play is too erratic & there’s still a comical amount of penalties. But they do need to be taken seriously - they have talent on both sides of the ball and each week the coaches seem to be finding ways to get more out of that talent.

I still loathe their QB, but the rest of this #Browns team is fun - young, talented offensive skill position players and a defense with some playmakers at all levels.

Probably the best decision Kevin Stefanski made last season was sticking with Andre Szmyt after he missed a 36 yard game winning kick in week 1. He’s turned into a huge asset for the #Browns and kicked tonight’s game winner from 56 with ease.

#Browns Thursday night magic continues as they win their 8th in a row on TNF. Somehow this team, which legitimately looked like it might be the worst team in the NFL after the first game, is now 3-1.

Szmyt is NAILS from 56 yards and #Browns take a 27-24 lead with 10 seconds left.

#Browns defense forces a 4th & 10, but get flagged for a DPI then allow the TD and 2 pointer. All the sudden it’s a tie game at 24 all. Offense will have 1:42 and 2 timeouts.
001
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Rodgers with a couple dimes to Metcalf and all the sudden the Steelers have it at the #Browns 12 with 2:09 to go.

Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It’s generally been a positive game for the #Browns QB, but he just missed a WIDE OPEN Fannin for what would’ve been a huge 3rd down conversion. Instead Steelers take over at their 20 with 3:30 left.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Szmyt right down the middle from 44 yards out as #Browns finally get on the board in the 2nd half to extend their lead to 24-16 with 6:37 left. Still a 1 score game, but Steelers now need a TD and 2 point conversion.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Vintage Rodgers there, rolling out of pressure and throwing against his momentum for a 21 yard TD. 2 point conversion stood no chance, so #Browns lead 21-16 with 10:10 to go. Offense has been shutout in the 2nd half due to 2 turnovers. Really could use some points now.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Now THAT was the dumb luck turnover for Steelers wiping out a DPI that would’ve set up #Browns offense in FG range and keeping Steelers within 11 with 14 minutes to go.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Aaron Rodgers seems like an insufferable teammate and player to coach. It gets more amusing with every sack #Browns get on him.
050
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
After getting carted off earlier looking like he couldn’t put any weight on his leg, somehow Mike Hall is back and just had a huge sack as #Browns defense pushes Steelers out of FG range. Wow.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It wasn’t necessarily luck, but there’s the timely Steelers turnover just when it looked like the #Browns were driving to go up 3 scores as Watt jars the ball lose on a bad QB option read and Steelers takeover at midfield.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I’m a #Browns fan and I completely agree.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
#Browns return teams have been awful tonight. Every return they’ve been flagged. Backed that first drive of the 2nd half to their own 4 and Monken got pretty conservative to avoid a turnover with an 11 point lead.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
#Browns defensive line, which had little depth coming into the season, is now comically thin with Graham out and now Hall being carted off during that last drive. Steelers had to settle for 3 to make it a 21-10 game.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
And the three incompletions were two dimes to Boston where uncalled DPI prevented catches and a pass to KC over the middle that was accurate but a tough play.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Uh… dare I say the #Browns offense looks… potent at the moment? 21 unanswered points now.
021
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Denzel Boston with a nice catch and run down the sideline for 60 yards to start the drive, and 3 plays later, Judkins cashes it in for the TD. All the sudden #Browns are up 14-7.
021
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Brown jerseys (with white numbering) and orange pants is #Browns best look. Tonight’s is easily their worst, in no small part due to the hideous brown helmet.
110
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Had the same thought. The two passes along the sideline to Boston were legitimate dimes that only weren’t caught because of DPI. He looks comfortable out there in a way that has almost never been the case with him in a #Browns uniform.

Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Hello Jaleel McLaughlin - just got shot out of a cannon there on the end around for a 28 yard TD run and #Browns cash in on the Ward INT to tie it up.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
A #Browns DB got called for illegal contact on a play where a Steelers WR pushed off at the top of the route. Had OPI been called, it would’ve created offsetting penalties. Instead Steelers got 15 yards. Meanwhile Boston is getting his collar pulled and no call.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Lol. Boston got interfered with on both passes thrown to him (two accurate long balls along the sideline), #Browns got neither call.
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
16 play, 83 yard, 12 minute opening TD drive for the Steelers and #Browns lost Mason Graham to a leg injury. Could be a long night for the home team.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Correct. Dramatic wins have covered up how bad he’s mostly been. Behind a shaky OL facing a tough Steelers defense, I could see things getting ugly for the #Browns offense tonight.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Steelers always seem to be good for at least one dumb luck turnover, and I expect this game to be an offensive slog for much of the time. With a QB that’s been begging to turn it over the last 2 weeks (but somehow hasn’t), I don’t see a “happy ending” for #Browns QB tonight. (See what I did there?)
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Aside from a couple productive scoring drives to end the game, the #Browns QB was quite bad on Sunday, which the win overshadowed. I do not like this offense’s prospects against this Steelers defense. I think the Thursday night magic wears off tonight. Browns 13 - Steelers 20.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
1) #Browns QB is bad (though a handful of others are worse); 2) despite some positive plays outside the pocket plays (including last week’s game-winning TD), he’s somehow a better pocket passer? (I’m assuming that’s because this accounts for the garbage time in Jacksonville).
001
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Messick may be a rookie, but he’s also the guy I trust the most in this #Guardians rotation. Setting him and Williams (who has the nastiest stuff of the starters but hasn’t been as consistent) to be able to start 2 games in the ALDS if needed is the right call.
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
It’ll be two AL Central rivals, the #Guardians and White Sox, squaring off for a spot in the ALCS.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Very surprised #Browns QB isn’t on here, but thinking about it some more, it’s likely because most of his throws are now quick hitters or check downs. Offense currently has no ability to make the types of downfield throws that can be more turnover worthy.
010
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Dolphins already were the frontrunner for the 1st pick in this year’s draft. This may cement them there and represents at least one QB-needy team that will almost certainly pick before the #Browns.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The AL Central champion #Guardians lose the regular season finale to the Royals 3-2 to finish at 85-77, but they’ve got more important things to think about now. ALDS starts on Saturday where they’ll face off in Cleveland against either the Astros or White Sox. Buckle up.
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Browns (-17) and Steelers (-6) both have negative point differentials after 3 weeks. And yet, they’re tied for 1st atop the AFC North (along with Cincinnati at +17) and square off on Thursday with the winner set to start the season 3-1.
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I don’t understand what happened with #Browns defense week 1 (too much zone coverage?), but the defense we’ve seen the past 2 weeks is good enough to beat mediocre & bad teams if the offense is competent. That was the formula today & the schedule has a good amount of those teams...
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
As a #Browns fan, I agree. But here we are.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Browns needed 1 yard to win and couldn’t get it. Doesn’t mean they made the wrong call going for it.
100
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Browns QB has not been good from the pocket, but on the move, he’s made some big plays, including a 21 yard scramble on 3rd and 3 and that 14 yard go ahead TD pass on the run to Fannin.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Browns actually rallied to get a FG only for the defense to get carved up on a 6 play, 72 yard drive as Panthers take an 18-13 lead with 4:25 left after a failed 2 point try. Big moment here coming up for the QB…
020
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Scoreboard finally reflects how badly the #Browns offense is playing as Carolina takes a 12-10 lead. Monken better have some magical playcalls that his QB somehow can’t screw up.
011
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Browns offense in the 3rd quarter: 3 drives, 9 plays, 3 yards. The QB can’t play. They’re somehow up 10-9 because of how well the defense is playing, but this has loss written all over it if the offense is playing like this.
021
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Anybody that’s watching this #Browns game and telling you their QB is playing well is lying to you. Granted the OL hasn’t been good but the QB is now 9/18 for a paltry 61 yards. He should have 2 INTs (including a pick 6), and just sailed a very easy slant. They’re winning in spite of him.
000
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
That’s now one atrocious roughing call on the #Browns and one egregious missed facemask penalty on Carolina…
011
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah he was awful, which you wouldn’t know based on all the praise the Fox announcers were lavishing on him. A decent QB and #Browns are up by 14.
120
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Am I going to watch the #Browns game today? Of course. Am I going to enjoy it (even if they win)? Nope. As long as this team has its current starting QB, I’m not investing emotionally in this team.

Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
This was August 16th. #Guardians were 60-65 and looked done. 41 days and 36 games later, the Guards have clinched the AL Central after going 25-11, including winning 9 of their last 10. Another magical September.
071
Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
#Guardians rally from a 1st inning 3 run deficit to beat the Royals 11-5, and thanks to a Rockies win over the White Sox, the Guardians have won the AL Central for the 3rd straight year and will be the AL 2 seed. Incredible.

Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Credit where it’s due, Bibee bounced back from a tough first inning where he gave up 3 runs to deliver 5 scoreless and provide a quality start for the #Guardians.
