The Browns got a big win last week, albeit not a pretty one but they all count.  A sloppy day in Florida weather wise, and on the field to a degree, but the Browns find themselves 1-1 and I'll call that a winning start.  This week the Giants come to town, and they stink.

But it's the NFL and any team can beat any team, as we saw last week around the league.  Truth be told, the Browns have no business losing this game today.  The Giants are bad, and their fan base likes their QB about as much as many fans like ours.  But at home the Browns should have little problem today.

With that said, I found it very interesting that last week at Jacksonville, Kevin Stefanski became a different kind of coach.  I feel he really took charge a very bad situation on offense from the Dallas game and made it his game.  He completely took the offense under his wing and called plays and developed a game plan that was his and his alone, and not the QB's or thier new offensive coordinators.  And it worked.  He all but blew by the new offensive coodinator and left him in the dust.

In the off season the Browns fired a lot of coaches to appease the wishes of the QB to run some kind of wide open, empty backfield, throw the ball all over the yard ball the QB wants to play. They brought in coaches to precipitate this move that pretty much abandons the running game, and puts the entire game in the hands of the QB who wants to play Hero Ball.  And last week it failed so miserably something had to be done, and Stefanski to his credit got that, and knew this game had to be won.  He shelved ego's and got it done with a great mix of what we and he used to do on offense prior to Watson showing up back to when Baker and Flacco were here.

In short, he took the game on his shoulders and out of Watson's hands and it worked.  He asked Watson to simply manage the game and not blow it.  It was the first time in two years this team openly showed they have no real confidence in Watson.  They finally got it through their heads, he is not elite at this point of his development with the Browns with his recovery from his shoulder injury and his endless off field fiascos.  And truth be told, lots of QB's could do that what Stefanski asked, like last year.

They can win games with this philosophy, so let's hope Stefanski sticks with it.  This organization is so fixed on proving they are "right" it was stunning to seen them seemingly admit, that may not be true. 

Many times, it's more important to do right...than to be right.

GO BROWNS!
