Joe Flacco Threw For 300+ Yards For The FOURTH Straight Game As The Browns Clinched A Playoff Spot Tonight

So Amari Cooper was out and Elijah Moore got injured tonight, but how's this for a Joe Flacco stat line? 16 for 22, 296 passing yards, and 3 touchdowns.........IN THE FIRST HALF!!!! What a fucking game. And although that's now his 4th straight game over 300 yards passing, that's not even close to my favorite stat that came from tonight. In fact, I think I found my favorite stat of all-time.

Oh my god. The man has played FIVE GAMES. I love this stat so much because it shows a combination of where we've been since 1999 (Tim Couch, Ty Detmer, Doug Pederson, Spergon Wynn, Kelly Holcomb, Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown, Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey, Bruce Gradkowski, Colt McCoy, Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, Brandon Weeden, Thad Lewis, Jason Campbell, Brian Hoyer, Johnny Manziel, Connor Shaw, Austin Davis, Cody Kessler, Robert Griffin III, DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan, Baker Mayfield, Tyron Taylor, Case Keenum, and Nick Mullens) to where we are NOW.

How was this man sitting at home?? And let me say this: I have never, NEVER, seen Cleveland embrace a quarterback like this in my entire lifetime. Not when we take someone in the first round, not when we draft someone #1 overall, and definitely not when we mortgage our future of 1st round picks and $230,000,000 guaranteed. This city LOVES Joe Flacco. But then again, we've had no less than 100 quarterbacks in the last 25 years, and not one of them has ever been able to do this:

Lock up the Comeback Player of the Year and throw away the key. Same with Kevin Stefanski for Coach of the Year. What these two are doing together, to make the Browns 11-5, is simply bananas. And to see Deshaun Watson and Flacco chest bump during the beatdown……I teared up.

We're headed to the playoffs, baby!!!! And I'm not even close to satisfied. We're the 2nd best team in the NFL and we're sitting as the number fucking 5 seed because of the dopey playoff structure. But it's not over yet. Don't let the Dolphins beat the Ravens this week. Because if the Dolphins beat the Ravens this week, we're playing for all the marbles in Week 18 against the sad Bengals, while the Steelers will be fighting for a playoff spot and beating Baltimore. The path to the #1 seed is still alive. The path to the Super Bowl is getting more and more clear. And I snagged that at 50/1 before kickoff tonight. Let's fucking BARK, boys!!!
