Probably more the latter, and that's largely because of the way the game ended, which is Dave Kanellis made a terrible decision in – except declining a penalty, which gave the Browns the ball with third and one.
And then the Browns proceeded to fail twice to gain a single yard, which would have ended the game immediately and made Gabe Kanellis look like an utter fool.
But this is the second time in three games, back-to-back games, where Todd Munkin has made a decision which imperiled his team.
But it is definitely concerning, given the lack of margin for error this team has, that Todd Munkin's decision-making is in some ways part of the problem.
Another thing that is sort of walking the tightrope is the performance of Deshaun Watson.
The Carolina came in averaging over 35 points a game and had three points and 113 yards at halftime.
And the Browns were sort of handed the game by failed fourth down attempts by Carolina.
So, Joe, you know, how much of that win was the Browns and how much of it was sort of a related question to the one I gave Pete? How much of it was Carolina beating itself down?
Well, I feel like there's a healthy mixture of winning games and the other team losing the game every single Sunday.
I mean, this is still – this is a two-game winning streak that we're losing our minds about because it's unexpected.
So I don't want to judge this Browns team and look at their record and be like, oh, well, you know, we survived that.
