In 2019 he had a game against the falcons where went 28/37 for 310 2 tds no ints. And his best game was probably that year against the Texans where he went 26/39 for 326 4 tds no ints

But we have had good to great Oline and we still suck
You are one negative bastard you know?

Great game, the only one this season where all defense, offense (besides Cooper's pass) and ST (besides a blocked kick) did their job well. Kudos to the defense who finally woke up and man is Emmerson showing flashes of greatness. Nice way to enter the bye week, work out more kinks and get to .500 before Deshaun takes over.

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.

The Browns are #4 in the NFL in rush attempts per game, so no.

In their last 5 games, where they got W's in 4 of 5, the Bengals averaged.
JB with 36.2 pass att per game
Mixon averaged 15 carries per game, at a clip of 3.8 YPC.
This is who and what they are. A pass heavy team with a good young QB, but a weak OL that has an inefficient running game. As a result, when they can't keep bodies off Joey Buckets, the offensive implodes. Worse because this style of offense is now running into predominantly 2 high shell teams. So if you either don't have the patience or ability to exploit that, you can run into matchups like they did with the Browns last night. "Looking" like the superior team, but lacking in where it counts.

Isaiah Thomas - Coming from nowhere to be best backup DL on the roster.
Alex Wright, not yet

Living in Bungle Land, its not for lack of trying that they worked mightily to shore up their known weakness on their o-line in the off season. Burrow was getting killed all last year.
Also I'll opine Jamar Chase who's an instant home run threat-is as important to the Bengals offense as Chubb is to ours.

They did, and made a nice splash in free agency to do so. But it isn't translating to better results on the field, and I don't even mean in terms of W's. Their Oline looked VERY pedestrian last night.
I'm just not sure exactly why the inefficiency in the running game. Mixon is a solid RB and you spent money to make the offensive front Go-go. Could be calls, could be design, could be emphasis, could be execution? I don't watch any of their tape to give a definitive answer. But I might when it's available later after I'm done with the Browns charting.
The connection Jamar and Burrow have is up there with something like Mahomes/Kelce. So naturally losing your guy is going to hurt. But you have no counter punch on the offense, you don't have the ability to lean on the ground game when the matchup should dictate just that. Which is where the Bengals fell tragically short, not only last night, but going forward as well.
Stef and the Browns have made a living running into + box counts for 3 years now, and still carving out one of the most efficient and explosive running games in the NFL. If Deshaun can come back, maybe not so much this season, but next year - and be 75% of what he was in 2020, I genuinely believe this team might have the most complete (and productive) offense in the entire NFL.

Preseason, DeShaun looked like he'd been to Jack Frost Donuts too many times.. here's hoping he has been diligent with his fitness.

When I saw Chase being out, I figured the Bengals' offense was toast. The secondary can play short/midrange, and the pass rushers can go to town. I don't think Cooper is a Chase, but his effect on the Browns' offense is a serious upgrade to what they can do. I thought it would be a good game in fantasy football to start the Bengals' kicker.
Nope. Bad Idea.

Larry, put your emotions in check. Dude, WTF? Cooper and Garrett had great games.
I can picture you at the TV yelling "take that, Ghoolie", every time Cooper or Garret made a play.
Dude, we root for the same team. I don't give a flying fuck about who is right and who is wrong. It's a fucking football.game bro.
Cooper is fast and elusive. However, in tough games, he constantly bobbled tough catches. He almost bobbled away the TD catch in the corner of the end zone.
When Garrett repeats his performance consistently against tough teams, then we can revisit him.
The Bengals OL is shit.
Great win for us, but it doesn't validate or invalidate any of this.
Like I said... Great win.. But I still don't trust this team...

But it gives me great pleasure to tell you you blew that one. Yeah- great win, but the Browns still dug themselves in a pretty deep hole losing games they should have won.
To have a realistic shot at making the playoffs, they still need to win two out of the next three- at least. That road trip to Buffalo is a killer. I was considering making the trip, but it seems Bills home games are a hot ticket. Checked yesterday, and on the secondary market the nosebleeds start at $250 bucks. Decent seats are $400+.
