  • What a weird way to call a game. The Bungles go all in on 4th down and then just basically gave up. So weird to me.

    To me it simply shows full panic with zero confidence in his team.... not a great way to start the season if you're a Bungles fan.

    hasn't pointed out how poorly Burrow

    Sure, but then he might have to confront objective reality and not complain

    Trolls do nothing of the sort.

    They will be fine.  The weather played a part.  Burrow was out all preseason that didn’t help.  We are built to give them problems.

  • What a way to open the season! 

  • Browns win 24-3. 

    As always, I feel bad for the Browns fans on here who root for the Browns to lose. 

    Thoughts and prayers.

    I'm sure they will be, Burrow had five turnovers last year in the season opener vs Pitt and turned it around nicely. 

  •  And THIS is why I've preached the need for COMPLETE Dline play the last 3 seasons.  Left to right,  they got it done today 1s and 2s.  

     And, not to toot the horn here, but Saints defense looking solid too.  How strange.

    Forgot that...lol. homage to bogart

  • Conveniently for cincy, weather is never a concern in the playoffs.

    Good to see Michael Thomas healthy for the first time since 2019.

  • Delpit may benefit the most from the DC change? Led the team with 8 tackles.

    Tee Higgins never caught a ball (7 targets).. This Defense played outstanding ball all day..

    Well done Cleveland !

    Final 24-3 Browns !

  • Jesus, Terry Bradshaw needs to hang it up. 

    I know, I know, he should have retired years ago, decades ago, whatever, but this is almost at Dick Clark after the stroke painful to listen to.

    Not sure who you're referring to, Deshaun Watson haters? Great game though today. Watson has good game but didn't look like 200 million dollar good. I guess it's good enough but I need to see some improvement on those underthrown passes.  Surely the conditions were a factor. 

  • Took us a bit to get rollin offensively and the defense was solid all day.  Steelers got embarrassed... browns beat a division rival!!!

    Couldnt script a better start to the season!!!

    Good. They'll be more pissed at 0-2

    They have loooked horrible today. They have given up 190 yards rushing

    Surprising, but YAY

  • Big Test next Monday for Dawand…but I thought he played really well.  

  • Just finished the game on Sunday Ticket DVR, awesome complete victory and the Defense was a joy to behold. Watson wasn't too sharp but did enough and fortunately for him the defense bailed him out of his ugly interception.
  • Ugh

  • defense is going to rock all season. Cincy looked like they were out of sorts on offense. The weather helped that, but I don't know what the offensive coordinator was thinking for Cincy at times.

    for this game, no weakness on defense.  Nice first win. Burrow was playing hurt - that also played a part. The cincy offensive line needs work/upgrade. Early on, they were rated about 17 or 18th, below the Panthers.

  • What did I miss or am forgetting about Burrow being hurt?
