Timberwolves 129, Cavs 95: NBA’s Worst Team Right Now?
December 5, 2010Browns Outlast Dolphins in Field Position Snooze-fest
December 5, 2010Trying to continue to improve throughout the long NFL season, the Cleveland Browns (4-7) travel to face the Miami Dolphins (6-5) today at 1 p.m. Oddly enough, the Dolphins have been much worse at home (1-4) than on the road this season, and we will see if that calms another start for Cleveland veteran Jake Delhomme. The Browns are a bit banged up heading, but the key will be to see how Peyton Hillis does against a stingy Miami defense ranks sixth in the NFL and allowed 16 rushing yards to Oakland last week.
Follow along with us here at WFNY and check out some of our earlier posts on the game: “The Browns Will Win If…” is the essential post, but we also are now featuring Craig’s intel info and an embarrassing song attempt from some Miami fans. Go Browns!

Game ball to whichever equipment manager changed the recommended stickem to apply to the hands of our db’s.
I don’t like that at all. PUNCH IT IN!!!
Ok… we are gonna back our way out w/ a win here. Hope this works.
Money. I guess somebody had to win. Glad it was us. How can the dolphins not win at home? And how do they have 6 wins?
the D took their talents to south beach
SMART!!! I was hoping they would do that. Tough win, good work. Happy with the receivers, Delhomme, and the defense today!
Nice. I’ll take it. Good job by the defense today.
How do you not give it to Juggernaut twice instaed of kneeling?
That was some SERIOUS taunting of the Football Gods, we’re lucky that FG was good…
Well, feel better about this win, but not much.
Is MoMass really 6’2″? Hard to believe just inch shorter than Braylon. Looks and plays like he’s 5’10.”
Heading to the supermarket to look at the milk cartons and maybe get my first Robiskie sighting of the day.
The football gods smiled on the Browns today. Daboll & Delhomme did their best to give the game away with another pick six but the Dolphins dropped it. Our defense gets all the credit for this win.
@Harv 21 – I agree on Mo Mass. I remember watching him at Georgia and he seemed 6’2″ then but seems much smaller now. Weird.
I’m guessing Mangini felt that we had a better chance of turning the ball over than Dawson missing a chip shot FG. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I’d like to think that they know what they’re doing.

See, I think the football gods were pleased; that’s smart football when there’s over a minute left, the game’s tied, and the other team has one timeout. The Browns effectively made sure that Miami would NOT get the ball back under any circumstances. Hillis has been known to fumble, and Miami’s defense would have either: gone straight for the strip, or just let the Browns score to get the ball back.
After last week’s “Let’s let the [bleep]ing Panthers go 70 yards in 45 seconds with no timeouts!” defense, I’m glad they instead made sure they’d either win or go to OT.
And, if you have no faith in your kicker to hit a 24 yarder from dead-center, then you’re either the University of Michigan, or don’t deserve to win anyway.
I think this is a really good road win. This is the NFL…not every win is going to be pretty at all. A 13-10 victory where the Browns don’t turn the ball over and fight for all 60 minutes I think is extremely positive. Had a tough day running the ball but they will not be able to rush for 200 yards every game. I’m very pleased with the fight and the victory…and I have the Browns over 5.5 wins in Vegas!
Bring a bad 5-7 team is never really a good thing in terms of draft standing.
watching Jake’s post-game network interview, may no longer be an effective qb but what a great spokesperson for the team.
All week we’ve been talking about players who “get it.” He does, in spades.
@DP, you’re most likely right. Can’t argue with a guy repping Smithwick’s. It just seemed like more of the ultra-conservative garbage that stuck us at 5-7 rather then 9-3.
Recap is up and ready for you guys…

good win. Not beautiful, but we lose some games we should have won, let’s not complain when we win games that we could have lost. Remember last year when we were pathetic? It’s nice that we finally see real football week after week.

I get it, believe me. But, turnovers cost us two of those losses (TB, KC) in my opinion, so I have no problem playing it safe there. There are too many things that could have happened if they’d gone for the score there, including turnovers of all varieties. That’s why, at that point in the game given the clock, score, and Miami’s time-outs, I was OK with sitting on it.
