Browns fans divided after reported desire for dome in Cleveland

Open-air or dome?

Fans of the Cleveland Browns are up in arms and divided over the potential dome that could be coming to Northeast Ohio. Just another offseason in Cleveland, yeah?

Many make the argument that playing in the elements is what makes football in Northeast Ohio different and special. Others argue that it is a more enjoyable experience for fans, and creates the opportunity for the city of Cleveland to host other major sporting events. This is what The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd argues as he reports the Browns are serious about adding a roofed facility.

But let’s be honest, playing outside amongst the winds of Lake Erie has provided the Browns no competitive advantage. Even further, an open-air stadium has cut off the Browns and the city from outside revenue for 50 percent of the year as concerts, conference championship games, and more cannot be hosted in their current stadium.

Regardless of one’s stance, it has caused quite an uproar on social media. Here are the best of the best reactions from the new report that the Browns want a dome in Cleveland.

Steelers fans burst into tears after Browns DE Myles Garrett beats out T.J. Watt for DPOY

Myles Garrett beat out T.J. Watt for Defensive Player of the Year, and Steelers fans took the opportunity to whine about it.

The Cleveland Browns saw many of their personnel take home awards at the NFL Honors, including defensive end Myles Garrett who won NFL Defensive Player of the Year. And those who root for the Pittsburgh Steelers made sure everyone heard them cry that T.J. Watt did not win the award.

Apparently, those who follow the Steelers think voters should look at box scores instead of the actual film when casting their votes for who should win the award. Watt had more sacks than Garrett, but Garrett was quite evidently a more prevalent player that opposing teams had to identify, double-team, triple-team, and make a point of emphasis on Sundays.

Even Watt himself took to social media to take a victim mentality after receiving the news that he would not win the award over Garrett.

Here are the best, most cringe-worthy reactions from Steelers fans after their beloved Watt finished runner-up to Garrett for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Browns fans rejoice on as Myles Garrett wins NFL Defensive Player of the Year

What a year for the Browns star pass rusher

Cleveland Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett was absolutely dominant this year and it paid off with his first Defensive Player of the Year award. He was the best player on one of the league’s best defenses and found a way to impact every game in ways that didn’t always show up in the stat sheet.

When you look at the Indianapolis Colts game where he forced two fumbles, one of which was recovered for a touchdown, and blocked a field goal you see how dominant he was. The attention that Garrett garnered from opposing offenses helped his teammates make massive impacts as well with favorable matchups hoping to neutralize Garrett.

Browns fans have been defending their superstar all season saying that he was the most deserving player for the award. Here is a look at how fans reacted to another award going to a member of the Cleveland Browns winning a season award.

Browns fans go nuts as Jim Schwartz wins Assistant Coach of the Year

The Browns DC turned Cleveland into one of the leagues best defenses

One of the best moves of the 2023 Cleveland Browns offseason was hiring veteran defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to replace Joe Woods.

They rebuilt the defensive line and Schwartz made the most of the talent he had moving players around and playing to their strengths resulting in one of the best starts to a season a defense has ever had.

Fans were excited to move on from Woods and add Schwartz and now he has one the highest honor an assistant coach can get for the 2023 season. What a year Schwartz had as he crafted the Browns defense in his aggressive image and boy did the fans love watching his guys attack opposing offenses.

The award was announced a little early but the fans took to social media to celebrate their defensive coach winning the award he so deserved. Here are some of the reactions from fans on Twitter/X after the award was announced.

Browns fans react to the news that Bill Callahan is leaving to join his son with Titans

The Browns are in the market as Bill Callahan heads to the Titans to coach with his son. Here is how Browns fans took the news…

The Cleveland Browns are in the market for a new offensive line coach after the news that Bill Callahan would be leaving to join his son with the Tennessee Titans.

The news did not come as a shock though, as Brian Callahan was named the new head coach of the Tennessee Titans. The rumors had been lingering for a while that Bill would like to coach with his son one day. It was good business on the Browns to let him take advantage of this unique opportunity, and good on the Titans for landing the legendary coach.

Finding his replacement will not be easy, but the Browns made the right business move for every party involved. No position coach has ever been traded in NFL history. It does not matter if he was under contract, the Browns would have been doing him a disservice to force him to remain in Cleveland.

Here is how Browns fans took the news of one of the best offensive line coaches in the business walking out the door.

Browns fans are all over the map after the hiring of Ken Dorsey

The Browns have their new offensive coordinator

The Cleveland Browns have officially found their new offensive coordinator after the team fired Alex Van Pelt. The Browns have now added former Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey to replace Van Pelt, someone who has ties to Cleveland during his time as a player.

Dorsey was the play-caller in Buffalo this past season before being fired by the Bills. Despite having the Buffalo offense in the top five of every major offensive category after 10 games, the team sat at 5-5 and needed a scapegoat. Despite the record the offense in Buffalo was statistically doing great, they were just turning the ball over, and not coming up with big plays in critical moments.

In the end, Dorsey brings to Cleveland something the team needed a new voice and fresh perspective to help the Browns offense grow. The question will be back to whether Stefanski will call plays or not after hiring a guy in Dorsey who has called plays, unlike Alex Van Pelt.

Browns fans took to social media as you would expect, to react to the news of Dorsey’s hiring.

Social media reacts as the Browns add Duce Staley as new RBs coach

Fans celebrated the hire on social media

The Cleveland Browns have another hire as Duce Staley joins the team as their new running backs coach.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski continues to rebuild his offensive staff after cleaning house after the season. The Browns had some serious competition, especially from the New York Jets but they were able to lure Staley to Cleveland in the end. Staley comes to town from Carolina where he was the running backs coach and assistant head coach.

Staley is not a stranger to the AFC North after playing for the Steelers from 2004-2006. He comes to Cleveland after spending the year with Frank Reich and an offense built around a mobile quarterback in Bryce Young last year’s number-one pick.

After looking at Browns Twitter, it is easy to say that fans are mostly excited about the addition of Staley. Looking at the offenses Staley has been around you realize he is a fresh voice with different offensive philosophies than the rest of the staff under Stefanski. A great hire bringing in a respected and talented coach that will help the Browns offense improve in 2024.

Here are some reactions fans had to the announcement of the new running backs coach’s hiring.

Browns Twitter reacts to the brutal end of the 2023 season vs. Texans

It was a disappointing ending to a great season

What a ride the 2023 season was for the Cleveland Browns as they overcame every piece of adversity thrown at them in the regular season despite a loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round.

They lost their top three starting tackles, franchise quarterback, and the best running back in the league but found their way to 11 wins and a playoff birth.

Joe Flacco came off the couch and for a month in a half the offense was on a run we haven’t seen in years. But it all came to an end on Saturday as the home team Texans dominated the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

The turnover bug finally bit Flacco and the Browns as he threw two pick-sixes on back-to-back drives in the second half. The defense could not get pressure on CJ Stroud who stood back there and destroyed the Browns all game long. Let’s take a look at what Browns’ Twitter had to say after the brutal loss to end the season.

Browns players go wild after clinching playoff berth in win vs. Jets

The Browns are headed to the playoffs, and they went wild last night after the win.

The Cleveland Browns are headed back to the playoffs after a 37-20 win over the New York Jets. And the players, led by tight end David Njoku and cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. were leading the charge of the celebration in Cleveland Browns Stadium after the game.

The atmosphere off of the coast of Lake Erie was on fire as the Browns blew the doors off of the building from the opening kickoff. They scored 34 first half points, which was enough for them to sit back and play defense in the second half against one of the worst offenses in the NFL. Now with ten days until their Week 18 matchup, the Browns have a chance to make it 12 wins on the season as they travel to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Oh yeah, and the AFC North crown is not completely off the table yet either.

Here are the best reactions, both from the stadium and on social media, from the players after winning their 11th game and clinching their spot in the playoffs.

Browns Twitter reacts to as Cleveland locks down a playoff berth vs. Jets

What a special night for Browns fans around the world

It happened. The Cleveland Browns have clinched a playoff berth after a 37-20 victory over the Jets at home in primetime as quarterback Joe Flacco continues to lead them to wins. They jumped out to an early lead and rode it the rest of the way in the second half on the backs of their championship-caliber defense.

Flacco had another 300-yard game and if it wasn’t for a couple of fumbles the Browns would have scored over 40 Thursday. Even with the offense struggling in the second half after Elijah Moore got hurt the defense locked it down and were never letting that game get away from them.

It’s crazy to look at all the injuries this team has had this year and realize they still found a way to win 11 games. It is so improbable that this team is going to the postseason and yet here we are. Let’s take a look at how fans on Twitter reacted to this massive win for the Browns.
