“This Is Real!” - Rich Eisen on the Cleveland Browns’ Faith in Joe Flacco | The Rich Eisen Show

[@DanTheMailman330]

We believe in Flacco here in Cleveland because we saw him whoop our asses for a decade.

[@Coolproducts44]

Man I love Flacco as a ravens Fan but Lamar is on another level tbh there both great though

[@Quincygrn]

1988 , 38 year old, Don Strock fills in for a injured Bernie Kosar to lead the brown's to a win and a wild card playoff birth! The stats that Strock put up that game are so similar to Flacco , its eerie! What a great game! Let's go browns!

[@RatedAwesome]

If that's the case, they lost in the wild card that round. So spooky, but also kind of a bad omen

[@tuttlespeachtree3413]

Almost "Lake Erie!" Am I right? lol

[@wullagray]

Tell It!!!!

[@vladot84]

To compare Strock to superbowl mvp Flacco is apples to bananas

[@Quincygrn]

@@vladot84 It's not a direct comparison to Flacco. If you read what I wrote, I compared the stats of that game to Flacco's game win to clinch a wild card spot.

[@joerauch975]

Browns fan here - We will live and/or die by the Flacco YOLO long ball. Turnovers are concerning, but I think the data is skewed. With a punter and kicker sidelined with injuries, some of those picks were basically punts or missed FG attempts.

[@donovansmith1229]

Yeah that pick 6 last game was one of the worst throws I’ve ever seen. But I don’t think he throws that unless he’s up by 21 at home lol.

[@joshz2491]

That particular pick was just great defensive discipline, not biting on a fake three different times in only a minute. A few of the other picks just deflected off the receiver. Or were there bad routes? Less than half were actually because Flacco threw a bad pass.

[@donovansmith1229]

@@joshz2491 that ball should never be thrown whether is the worst defense in the league or the best. One of dumbest throws you could ever see a QB attempt

[@d3sc3n7]

​@@donovansmith1229 The pick 6, while full on QB, was a good def play. The others at the end of the half were meaningless balls.

[@stevenbuklad4866]

In Cleveland, we had Super Joe Charbeneau. We love you Joe Charbeneau, but there's a now Joe in town. Let's go, Super Joe Flacco! There's a shot where we could have a Lions/Browns Super Bowl. That would not only be fun, but, as a Browns fan, I have to just soak in the experience, much like when the (then) Indians faced the Cubs. 2 classic teams that, in the case of football, have never been to the Super Bowl. That would be one for the ages. These really are the Kardiac Kids 2.0. There's been shimmers on the past, even similar seasons where the team kept finding ways to win close ones. This is different. This is Never Say Die football. In years past, there's been talk, "why is it never us to be that one team..." Sure as hell looking like it's our turn this year. So, for that, I ask: Why Not Us? Why Not Cleveland. HERE WE GO, BROWNIES, HERE WE GO (WOOF, WOOF)! SUPER BOWL, SUPER BROWNS!

[@sbboy333]

Damn, pretty cool Rich, love that Mrs. Flacco shout out

[@StudioGREGORIO]

~~~ Flacco was spared from going to the Jets. That story would not end well. The last time I saw the Browns 11-5 in a playoff game was at Municipal Stadium and it was 4 degrees with minus 4 wind chill. It was all worth it till Red Right 88. I stopped watching when Modell left with the team. Well, I'm watching again. Let's Go Brownies !!!

[@MsSparklesNGlitter]

The Browns are the one team I believe can go into Baltimore in the playoffs and knock off the Ravens

Don’t say that Go ravens we winning it

Cleveland beat the Ravens in Baltimore already this season with Watson as QB. I can totally see it happening again with Flacco.

[@jimfelter5941]

Joe Flacco and Humas with Helmets and Pads (Verse 1) In the heart of the season, under skies so bright, Joe Flacco stepped forward, in the stadium's light, With humans in helmets, and pads so strong and true, They set their sights on the Super Bowl, their dreams in view. (Chorus) Oh, Joe Flacco, with a heart full of fire, Leading us forward, taking us higher, In helmets and pads, we march to the sound, Of victory's anthem, in that Super Bowl ground. (Verse 2) Through the battles they faced, on the gridiron's stage, Joe Flacco in the pocket, like a wise sage, With every pass and every play, they fought the fight, In the NFL playoffs, under the stadium's light. (Chorus) Oh, Joe Flacco, with a heart full of fire, Leading us forward, taking us higher, In helmets and pads, we march to the sound, Of victory's anthem, in that Super Bowl ground. (Bridge) The clock winding down, tension filled the air, But Flacco stayed calm, with a confident glare, He threw the perfect pass, and they seized the day, In that Super Bowl moment, their hearts led the way. (Verse 3) Confetti fell like rain, as the crowd roared in cheer, For Joe Flacco and the humans, it was crystal clear, In helmets and pads, they had conquered it all, In the NFL's grandest stage, they'd answered the call. (Chorus) Oh, Joe Flacco, with a heart full of fire, Leading us forward, taking us higher, In helmets and pads, we march to the sound, Of victory's anthem, in that Super Bowl ground. (Outro) So here's to Joe Flacco, a leader bold and true, With helmets and pads, they showed what they could do, In the Super Bowl's bright glory, they etched their name, For the humans in helmets, they'd won the game!

There’s just something about Flacco

[@johnbailey2024]

Hes played alot better then the 235 million dollar man,,, hes been by far the best quarterback the browns have, he really is a big strong dude, he seems to be a great father, a great guy and leader,,,,with that being said he has throw a few unexplainable interceptions to very wide open defenders,,,he has to cut down on that in my humble opinion.... lets hope the nfl and vegas allow the browns to get to the superbowl, thats the elephant in the room

[@shannonpincombe8485]

Well said Rich.

[@richiemarcus5796]

My friends know his wife. He played college right next to my home. UD is on the Maryland boarder . Baltimore should of let him play like manning. They save it for playoffs. They wanted to run play defense. Then let Flacco ball in playoffs. He always was a great thrower.

[@AkronKid330]

Ogbo is back!! This is huge.

[@donbaddger3730]

That's what faith does. You have what you say. Joe Flacco said it a year ago that he wanted to be starting quarterback. He was with the Jets when he said it to Garrett Wilson. The wheels have turned, and he is the starting quarterback on the Browns. Faith moves mountains ⛰️.

[@jackk1583]

Living in W. pa, I'm tired of the myopia that pgh fans are oblivious too. They fail what you FAIRLY and ACCURATELY stated here: that CLE is in prime position to run the table. Like a v8 firing on all cylinders, coupled with jet fuel..... this team is a force whose time is now. Hope they continue the run and end well, but well said by you.

[@timmcculty2320]

Thanks football gods for Flacco coming in. Not only saved the Browns season, but we've gotten at least 3 weeks now of not hearing DW4, 230 million, blah blah blah. It's great to enjoy the season and watch some sports news about the games and hear more positive than negative, which is what you should expect on a turn around record team going into the playoffs with momentum and what looks like a favorable first round matchup.

Its crazy to think about all of those QBs from the Browns past. Who knew they needed a veteran instead of some kid fresh out of college.

[@lucrative6477]

I’m not a browns fan, however this year I have been. And not because of Flacco. I was on their bandwagon before then. I simply love Jim Schwartz as dc. That defense has 11 guys constantly giving 100% and it just suffocates offenses. Obviously it’s a lot harder to do that to the best of the best on offense in todays league, but I wouldn’t put it past them. All this without Chubb too.
