Injuries too Cam Heyward left the game. Dionte Johnson left with a hamstring.
Is it me or has Cam Heyward been playing in the NFL for like 20 years?

Absolutely and to magnify that point …He played for Tressel

Shocka pow mofos. This might be my favorite opening day as a fan ever. If the defense keeps playing in the ballpark of what they did today, and Nick Chubb remains his usual Nick Chubb self, then l’m going to be downright optimistic.

How's that Bengal-lovin' girlfriend doing? ?

Beast game by Delpit. IMHO best as a pro.
From Dawgs By Nature:The man was seemingly all over the field today. Late in the first quarter, it seemed that the Bengals were going to convert a third-and-seven when Delpit came flying out of center field and decked WR Tyler Boyd who was short. Needing eight yards on another third down situation with six ticks left in Quarter 3, Burrow hit tight end Irv Smith who is much bigger than Delpit, yet the Browns safety was able to bring him down just short. On a third-and-four with 8:21 left in the contest, RB Chris Evans caught a short pass in the left flats and met Delpit for a one-yard loss. On the next possession, Cincinnati began massive substitutions. Delpit led all tacklers with eight.

Sounds like a pretty perfect weekend!

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.

I’m with you. There was a noticeable relaxation in the tone after that play, and the ensuing Browns dagger TD.
Looked like a “live to fight another day” mentality kicked in for the Bengals squad.

Awesome win!
Sorry I didn't get to see it ?

What an amazing first game for the Browns! That was a top 3 team we just dominated.
The defense under Schwartz looked like a complete 180 from last year. Za'Darius Smith was everything we hoped Clowney would be the last two years. And Juan Thornhill didn't even play. We made Burrow into a beta cuck today. Exciting stuff.

I hope Watson bouncing half his passes to receivers today was only because of the rain affecting his grip.. if that's his new arm strength, this season's ceiling will be a lot lower.

Re: Delpit. His ability to play as a nickel, dime, box safety and what have you was never in question. His downhill trigger has always been fine. It's his play when he's back on a hash that has been his Achilles heel.

When I see Joey Buckets gator arming passes all day, can't help but think it was the elements.

Let’s start with I didn’t see any pointing around and confusion with our secondary like we did all last September. It looked like the secondary had their assignments and executed them well.
Did we play man coverage a lot?

There was talk about the Elf or the Dawg at midfield…I think this settles it.
The Elf is the battle cry this year

From Dawgs By Nature:From that very same article...
"Rarely did Schwartz send a fifth or sixth defender on passing downs, and the front four was in the backfield repeatedly. The crown jewel today was the defensive secondary which played well in man coverage. "
Fortunately for you Browns fans here, you get me deep diving into games.
On the 15 3rd down attempts for the Bengals...
Schwartz called a 4 man rush 7 times
Schwartz called a 5 pressure 6 times
Schwartz called a 6 man pressure 2 times
For a blitz rate of 53.3% repeating. The NFL average last season for blitz rates was 25.3%. Meaning, on 3rd down alone, Schwartz called some type of 5+ man pressure over double the NFL average rate.
And THIS is why I try to caution so many of you about the run-of-the-mill sports "journalists". Those who have deadlines and really can't, are unable, or unwilling to get into the meat and potatoes of the game itself. They have to type out a ton of filler material. Most of it, I'm sorry to say, is bullshit. Barry from DBN seems like a nice guy, but this is the same dude who said Tommy Togiai needed to "get stronger" in the off-season, which is why he underperformed.
Edit: Please keep in mind, that's just me breaking down the 3rd down situations. I know we sent more bodies on 2nd down and we had a 5 man pressure on a 4th down call as well.

Awesome win!
Sorry I didn't get to see it ?
I only got to see some of it. I saw Bell drop a ball that was easily catchable. I saw our FG kicker kick it through the uprights. (refreshing) I saw Myles get a sack that pretty much ended the contest.
I saw some stats: Watson was 16 of 29. That's not real good.
Ford had 15 carries for 34 yards...and he fumbled the ball away. Hunt was better than that on his worst day(s).
The defense deserves credit. And Delpit had twice as many tackles as the next closest tackler.
Congrats to Nick Chubb for his 106 yard performance....on 3 more carries than Ford and his 34 yards.
The Browns' offensive stats do not show a 3 TD victory. But we'll take the victory that's for sure!!
An opening day win! Way cool!!

Exactly what type of offensive stats do you expect to see in shit weather like they had today?
And isn't Hunt still sitting around waiting for someone to sign him? There might be a reason why.
