On this episode, we’re telling the story of the Browns’ season finale like a movie script.

It starts in Cincinnati: one last game, one last chance to prove the season wasn’t a waste. Cleveland comes out swinging, the defense plays like it’s personal, and the fourth quarter turns into a street fight. Myles Garret breaks the single-season sack record, Every third down feels like a season on the line. Then, in the final moments, the Browns land the kind of win that makes you believe again... at least for a night.

But the sunrise hits different...

Because the very next day, the headline drops: Kevin Stefanski is out. The celebration turns into shock, the group chats explode, and Browns fans do what Browns fans always do try to make sense of chaos at full volume. We break down the “why now,” what it says about the locker room, and how a franchise can win on Sunday and still pull the plug on Monday.

And then there’s the twist: Andrew Berry stays. So what does that mean? Stability? Control? A power move? We debate whether keeping the GM while firing the coach is the right reset or the same cycle with a new label and what, or can this franchise do to better to prepare for the next season. Who will be the next coach of the Cleveland Browns? Join us live to let us know what you think!

Finale win. Next-day firing. Same Browns same drama.

Hit play—because this one feels like the start of a whole new chapter.

The regular season comes to an end the only way it ever should in Ohio. Browns vs Bengals. One last fight. One last statement. One last chance to send a message.

On this episode, the crew breaks down the Battle of Ohio as Cleveland heads into the final game of the season with pride, questions, and unfinished business on the line. No playoffs. No excuses. Just football, rivalry, and who still wants it when the lights come on one last time.

We talk:

• What this game really means for the Browns moving forward

• Which players are playing for their future in Cleveland

• The coaching decisions under the microscope

• And why beating Cincinnati always matters, records be damned

Joining us for this one is special guest Dan Gilles, stopping by to talk Browns football, the state of the roster, and where this team goes from here. Honest takes, real conversation, and no sugarcoating, just how Browns fans like it.

This isn’t just a Week 18.

This is about pride.

This is about ending the season the right way.

The mic clicks on early in the morning, coffee steaming, heartbeat already up. Steelers week never feels like any other week. It’s not just another game it’s history, grudges, cold air, and hard hits. On the podcast, you can feel it. Every stat, every matchup, every take carries more weight when Pittsburgh is on the other side.

For the Browns to win this one, it starts up front. They have to control the line of scrimmage and make the game ugly... AFC North ugly. The run game needs to set the tone early, forcing the Steelers to respect play-action and slowing down their pass rush. If the Browns can stay ahead of the chains, they can dictate tempo instead of reacting.

Defensively, it’s all about pressure and discipline. The Browns have to collapse the pocket without giving up back-breaking scrambles or penalties. Force quick throws, win on first and second down, and make Pittsburgh earn every inch. Turnovers swing rivalry games, and one early takeaway can flip the energy in the stadium.

Special teams and situational football matter more than ever. No blown coverages, no dumb penalties, no letting emotion turn into mistakes. Win third down. Win the red zone. Finish drives with touchdowns, not field goals and a ton of punts.

That’s the message on the pod! this game isn’t about flash... it’s about physicality, focus, and finishing. Do that, and the Browns don’t just beat the Steelers, they remind the division that Cleveland is built for games like this. Wait, do we want to actually win this game? Join us to talk about it!
