    I'm glad to see some improvement in the offense. I thought they would still do bad this week but they've done better than I expected. We should know there will be growing pains with rookies and second year players at many key positions.

    Richardson looks like a new man. He just needed some time to heal and I'd bet he's still not 100%

    Weeden and momass have some good chemistry. Hopefully Gordon or Little can start contributing. They're a little more dangerous with the ball.

    The o line still needs to improve but at least they've been blocking better.

    Defensively we have some players out and Skrine had been getting picked on. Luckily Dalton has had either pressure in his face or just plain missed some open receivers in the end zone.

    Overall I'm happy with the improvement. Now if we could just get a competent head coach.

    Could they actually do any worst on offense then they did last week? And Philly is suppose to be a playoff team and Cincy is not even suppose to compete and is suppose to play for last place with The Browns. I suppose you are enjoying the penalties as well? 98 yards that's improvement, right!

      Its been fun for me too USF. hoping we see this kind of progression every week.

      It looked like regression by the defense to me! Next week what is it going to be? Back to the shetty offense. As I said the offense couldn't have done any worst than last week and Cincy is no more than a .500 team at best. So,if you want to call it progress go ahead. I'll call it like it is another loss as usual.

      I was talking mostly about the O, the D did take a step or 2 back but we were playing without both starting CB's

        sheeesh your standards are much too low.

        They still look terrible. 10 pts going into the 4th qtr. down 24-10.

        This bengals team is nothing special, and will be doing good to finish .500(they looked absolutely brutal in week 1)

        Brandon weeden's performance going from an F to a D+ or a C- is hardly what I would call good. He was a completely wasted pick, and reasonable people(who know college football) laughed when his name was selected there. The smart(but unrealistic) move would be to cut him now, eat the guaranteed money, and admit it was a mistake.

              Uh, about 150 of those yards were given up due to Cincy's prevent defense. They didn't have to play much defense once they got got up by 14. They knew our defense couldn't stop them.

                    Both our starting CB's were out and the Bengals exposed it all day. Frankly, the defense wasn't awful but two bad blitz calls led to two touchdowns. For the life of me I don't understand why you would play off on the goal line when sending an all out blitz. Other than that, penalties KILLED the browns, but the refs had much to do with that. I don't get those offsides on the corner and Gresham's heel was CLEARLY out of bounds. That was a situation where there's no way in hell the way he bobbled that the real refs call that complete. Also, on two touchdown drives we had them stopped on third downs but penalties moved the sticks.

                    Offense wins football games in today's NFL, and Weeden and Richardson looked damn good today. If we just get some more discipline for the penalties and keep playing offense like that we can actually compete.

                      I assumed you were, but let's wait till next week. I knew the defense wouldn't play like they did last week, BUT, this bad?? No way. They couldn't stop a high school offense today and the penalties were over the top!

                          So...a very good quarterback.

                          Couch's downfall was the complete lack of an offensive line. Now that we have a passable offensive line, you're saying that Weeden is going to have a stellar career worthy of a #1 overall pick.

                          I mean, I don't think he'll be that good...but way to be optimistic, dude.

                            If C- is your rating of the team as a whole, I agree, but Weeden definitely played better than that. We lost the game because of

                            • Penalties
                            • Pacman's Return TD

                            Our secondary played like shit, but the only person there today who'd start on another team is TJ Ward.

                                  I don't see that. He was way better today then last week. Why do you make this comparison?

                                  Because his intelligence is on par with that of a wet biscuit.

                                    Because he's a mindless Retard and knows only three QB's in Browns history. He assumes we hate Tim Couch because to all those who know nothing, Tim Couch was a super bust based on his performance.

                                    He knows nothing, leave the frittata to his meandering simplethoughts.

                                      sheeesh your standards are much too low.

                                      They still look terrible. 10 pts going into the 4th qtr. down 24-10.

                                      This bengals team is nothing special, and will be doing good to finish .500(they looked absolutely brutal in week 1)

                                      Brandon weeden's performance going from an F to a D+ or a C- is hardly what I would call good. He was a completely wasted pick, and reasonable people(who know college football) laughed when his name was selected there. The smart(but unrealistic) move would be to cut him now, eat the guaranteed money, and admit it was a mistake.

                                      I'd hardly call 320 yards, 2 TD's, and no picks a C- performance.

                                      I agree, but some people either have a agenda or don't know much about the game.

                                      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                        I thought Weeden looked good today. Made some nice throws and did really well standing in the pocket even when there was pressure. The defense struggled obviously but I think the team is on the right track and we actually have some playmakers for the first time. I'd say Richardson looks like the real deal.

                                          Agree. Give Richardson a chance to get going and he is one tough mofo. Speed, power and moves. Our Defense, especially the secondary disappointed, but with Haden out I expected it.
