BROWNS win + $1 billion lottery tonight. Whoa.

......edit add, and the over covered by 0.5. Lucky if you went that way.

If you're interested, I had the very first number and not much more. No power play ball 13 multiplier x3.

13 19 36 39 59 PP 13 x3. Good luck everyone.

Enjoy this one guys, we all earned it. Lord we needed a victory and we get it before a bye. It's a 3 game season now. We win 2 of next 3 and we're 5-6 with Watson back. Think about it. ?

That sums it up. We'd need the Bengals to beat themselves.

- I'm sitting outside...handing out candy...and I just nabbed the last bag of Skittles to my pocket.

Ya know what, I don't think I'll be able to truly be myself until I have a couple of these little Snickers here.

...and honestly, is it really a Halloween without consuming a Reese's peanut butter cup?

I go inside for 20 seconds to get a drink, and some greedy bastards are grabbing handfuls of candy I didn't bring with me left on the porch.. I hope they're Bengals fans.

It is so hard to count to 11 on the first play.

Did they bring back Hue Jackson, the guy who had to call a timeout before the first scrimmage play?

Just got my first little goblins and their older brother (18ish) was walking them around and stood behind them about 20 feet while staring at his phone as I gave them candy.

I told him he had the scariest costume of all, and he said "Huh?", so I told him he was a terrifying modern day Zombie just standing there like a statue with his phone in his face.

God I crack myself up.

I love handing out candy to the kids.. I still haven't forgotten how much fun it was... Best costume? A kid was dressed in a 6 foot tall t-rex outfit.

Easiest dollar i ever made. Bet the guy next to me he would miss

Um... The Browns need to work on their blocking protection on field goals. Sure, it's possible York has a low trajectory on his kicks. But that's TWO defenders got their hands on, and if you noticed, they came close to blocking that (looked like a miss) XP- that was partially blocked too.

@dutch-oven said:

Holy fuck that was not good.

That's the bad thing with that play - the RB or WR rarely ever gets to attempt a pass, and you know damn well they aren't going to waste the opportunity by throwing the ball out of bounds.

Cooper may have been hit when he threw that pass. If he had put 15 more yards of air under it- it was a walk in touchdown.

@ghoolie-always-ghoolie said:

Amari Cooper is total shit. Not because of the interception but the cocksucker ALWAYS drops low passes.

If the pass is mid shin or lower, this asshole will put it on the turf.

He is a downgrade from Jarvis Landry.

Bite me you spoke too soon. I'll have more to say about your Mild Garret later on when I catch up reading the posts. Maybe you missed that inside spin move I told you he had when he burrowed Burrow.

EDIT: Yeah Cooper has 131 yards on 5 receptions- he blows. Especially on the long bomb he pulled off the grass. Mild Myles has a sack or two, deflects a pass that turns into an interception.. He sucks too.

Re: the 3rd and 6 run...

If you were pissed off about the Browns giving up a TD on a 3rd down HB draw to the Pats, but you're happy about what you just saw CLE do and think it's an "awesome call".... re-evaluate yourself.

If that's the play I'm thinking of- at least the Brisket decided to run this time instead of throwing a gift int to the end zone.

I thought Burrow would light us up. Their oline sucks bad

How the fuck did that fraud team get to the SB?

@gumby73 said:

I'd bring Joe Haden back to every home game

My friend told me they way the Browns secondary had been playing of late, hell- suit Joe up, and get him back on the field.

@d-bone said:

Not gonna lie, I never saw this result coming.

Yep, I was expecting the Bengals to blow out the Browns, or at best Cleveland to eke out a three point win. Goes to show when you have your backs against the wall what desperation can do for a team.

Remember my mantra nickers..."I'd rather be lucky than good." I well remember the previous Bungle Super Bowl appearances- where everything went right for them. Opposing teams doinking field goal attempt off the uprights, and the Bengals doinking in... Don't get me started on how much I detest their color guy, er- cheerleader Dave Lapham doing the expert analysis.

That said, the Bengals are a completely different team when Burrow doesn't have his security blanket Jamar Chase on the field... If they don't figure out how to fix their o-line, they're in serious trouble.

You want a pretty amazing stat I noticed? Despite Burrow trying to make up for his sieve o-line getting his passes off in less than 2.5 seconds, Joe only completed three passes of longer than 20 yards all night. The Browns gave the rest of the league the blueprint on how to beat Cinci. Take away their bombs away passing and rush\blitz the hell out of Burrow.

First game I miss in two seasons, and it's a good one?

It's funny, when asked about that rushing score JB said that the pick against the Bolts was all he was thinking about and he wasn't doing it again.

Dutch Oven

I'm still puzzled by the Bengals decision to pass pass pass the night away.

Bad running teams have had monster games vs the Browns this season, yet Cincinnati seemed allergic to the run. In fact, when they did run, it seemed like they did it on the ends and off tackle. And a ton of check downs to the RBs in the passing game. You would think a team struggling to keep opposing defenses off their QB would want to establish the run, and lo and behold, the Browns defense is one you can do that against.

I hate to say it, but it looks like the Browns defense seems to have woken up. Kind of like how they needed a blowout last year vs the Pats to turn them around.

Thats got fo be jacoby brissett's best game as a pro, yeah?

In 2019 he had 18 touchdowns vs 6 interceptions, so I'm guessing probably not.

But it was a great one for sure.

I swear there used to be more trick or treaters 20 years ago....... Sitting here wanting to give away candy.

As a 30 something parent of kids, a lot of folks in our group did stuff over the weekend. I still went out with my kiddo, but it was markedly less than last year. Top that with people having concerns about safety and I'm left with several hundred pieces of candy. The future of trick or treating may very well be fading away.

On a side note, boy it's nice to talk about mundane crap and enjoying a Browns easy win. I'm not sure what vodoo magic Cleveland has against Cincy, but they just have their dang number lately. Even getting the odd breaks of shooter McPherson kissing kicks, etc.
