It was a rollercoaster of emotion for Cleveland Browns fans as they watched the team fight back from a 14-0 deficit only to have their hearts broken in a 24-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Kevin Stefanski coached a great ball game offensive getting the most out of their backup quarterback and a running game without Nick Chubb.
In the end, it was an interesting decision to put the ball in the hands of P.J. Walker to try and win the game. The offensive line played their best game collectively and they were running the ball at will, especially in the second half. However, it is worth pointing out that there were two players wide open if Walker had just not locked onto Amari Cooper.
It was a hard-fought game that proved there is plenty of talent on this roster if they can just get average quarterback play. Whatever you want to say about Stefanski his teams come to play and play hard for him week in and out. Let’s see how Browns Twitter reacted to the loss.
The #Browns clearly had the third-and-3 play dialed up for Amari Cooper. But PJ Walker had David Njoku wide open on the other side of the field @NextGenStats pic.twitter.com/9QCtI5dpDQ

If Watson figures it out, this is a team of consequence. Full stop.

You had 3 options
Hunt Strong Ford
That’s it
And you blew it https://t.co/zRelNMd9DJ— Roger 1st in Cuyahoga Falls (@Roger1stCFalls) October 29, 2023
I’m not at all saying the play design wasn’t good. That players weren’t open. I just don’t get how you trust PJ in that situation when running the ball was working so well. https://t.co/ArGfqMUxAy

Last one about today’s game: the Seahawks still had to go 57 yards for a TD after the INT. And they did so…with ease.

Browns won't make a move at QB. And looking around the league… Walker is probably in the top third of backups around the NFL. Just brutal to try and grind out so many wins like this. I'll assume we'll see him next week too.

Which Browns coach other than Stefanski has them in position to win that game? Hue? Kitchens? Williams? Chud? Pettine?

Last thing I’m gonna say then I’m going to watch SNF and enjoy the rest of my night.
I am by NO MEANS wanting Kevin fired. That’s ridiculous to say that. We had this game won man. Even being down 14-0. This isn’t the same old browns we are used too. #DawgPound

You’re 100% right though the play was absolutely there and Walker messed it up. The season is far from over at 4-3 but man 5-2 would’ve been really great with the Cardinals coming up #DawgPound https://t.co/cDqbjoy9g3

I’m fine. They were gonna lose that game. I’m basically buoyed that it was close, especially after spotting them two TDs. Walker is just brutal. Turnover after turnover after turnover. For weeks.

i think if you run it on 3rd and 4 then you need to be prepared to go for it on 4th down if you fail on 3rd. i don't think stefanski was willing to do that today
— Browns Alchemist (@BrownsAlchemy) October 30, 2023
I just want Hunt and Strong Jr as our 1-2 RB. I just want Kevin to make better decisions in key moments. I just want AB to go get a few more pieces at the deadline. Go beat Arizona and get to 5-3.

#Browns ran for 155 yards today on a hobbled Jerome Ford, acclimating Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong who has yet to get serious reps.
It’s the 2nd most yards that #Seattle has surrendered in a game this year.

#Browns Kareem Hunt said didn’t know why didn’t get ball in fourth quarter.
Also wanted hall on that fateful third-and-3.— Scott Petrak ct (@ScottPetrak) October 29, 2023
I’m sick to my stomach dude

Very much would have been nice to get that W. Season isn't decided this week or next. Get through that back-to-back against BAL, PIT and reassess.
