Just to answer your question from the game day thread, I was pretty nervous about this game coming in. Kirk played ok in relief in the ATL game, but he did make some rookie mistakes that led to a couple of picks. The Browns have a very formidable defense, and tbh, I still don't trust our defense to play a complete 60 minutes. I thought if Kirk played the way he did in the ATL game we would lose.

Like I said in the game day thread, I will gladly eat some crow here, because he did exactly what he needed to do to win. The first few minutes had us all nervous, but he showed an ability to forget about it and move on. The coaches definitely did their part in calling the right plays and helping him make adjustments, and it obviously worked. The Browns took away the run all day, and basically said if we were going to win, it would be on Kirk. And obviously Kirk was comfortable taking control and making plays, so kudos to him.

With all that said, I think we'll need RG3 these next two weeks so hopefully he's ready to go. Two more to go, and it's unbelievable to think that if we win these next two weeks, we will be 7 weeks removed from being 3-6 and looking like a bottom feeder.
