***Official Browns @ Bengals Thursday Night Football Game Thread***

He's good, and a class act. No negative about a game we were supposed to lose but dominated.
Were you supposed to lose? The Bengals have been overrated all season IMO and I'm not shocked at all by the result. Andy Dalton is fvcking terrible. He's like Eli Manning lite. Play tough defensively and limit mistakes offensively and the bad qb's do the rest. I still can't believe they paid him all that money. Flacco at least won the super bowl before getting his pay day.

1 out of 52 "experts" picked the browns. the only one to pick them was mike ditka. so yes, i would say we were supposed to lose

That's kinda what the +6 next to our team name meant in the Vegas line...
I don't gamble and almost never pay attention to the lines. Any given Sunday first and foremost but beyond that spotting either team 6 points for a game in a highly contested division is just down right stupid.

Just watched our D highlight package on NFL.com...
If we ever need an emergency WR, we could do a helluva lot worse than Skine. The two picks he made tonite were both great catches...
The first was a fastball he snagged out of the air.
And he laid out beautifully for that 2nd one.
If he's flashed catching skills like the above before, I missed it...

Obviously in hindsight you are correct...
I'm no gambler either... like it too much and am bad at it... a potentially deadly combo.

Thanks for the invite. I'm down to join. Is there a link somewhere? I'll probably sign up tomorrow. I also agree that hindsight is 20/20 but with the way dalton has been playing, Green being hurt and the Browns rallying there is no way in hell i'd have spotted the Bengals 6 points.

Lines are not set in the reality of the inequality of the match up, but rather to get the betting as close as possible to 50/50. As you'll see in Yahoo the initial line often changes thru the week and that's all about steering new money to one side or the other to create balance.
Occasionally you'll even see a line flip, where the opening favorite ends up the underdog. It happened to the Steelers last week when they opened a 1.5 point favorite, but ended up a 1 point dog to the Ravens.

Just watched Hoyer's post game. He's really held on to his football philosophy learned under Belichick.
Browns have a winner. Extend that beast

depends how much $ he's demanding. if he asks for dalton money, he's gone.

Welcome to America and the National Football League. Everyone talks about the point spread all the time. To be amazed that the Bengals were favored is just....idiotic.
Maybe you should check out the line on the Steelers/Jets game.
Oh, wait, I know your deal.....if you ever saw a line where the Steelers were the underdogs you would have such a tantrum that you would pee your pants. Well.....I have one word for you:
Depends.

Yes but you're a cowboy fan. Not quite as low as a steeler fan but close

Stfu Gipper, Jesus. The steelers have already been underdogs this season. I'm being civil and you still have to be a grumpy geezer.

Pettine's locker room speech. It seems he's thinking like me with the broken streaks:

Yes Dalton played like crap. I thought the Bengals had rented Brandon Weeden for the game.
That's kinda what the +6 next to our team name meant in the Vegas line...
1 out of 52 "experts" picked the browns. the only one to pick them was mike ditka. so yes, i would say we were supposed to lose
^ This V. Regarding the line, Your Steelers Jets game, Steel City went from 1.5 to 5 point favorites, because everyone is betting on the Steelers to cover. If the teams play like they have the last couple weeks, Pittsburgh should be favored by 20. Just my 0.02.

In what world are the Steelers only favoured by 1.5?! I'd be torn if they were -20 favourites.

My takeaways. The Dline was inconsistent early on but picked up the pace quickly. Our linebackers really got after it in the run game. Big Phil and Sheard had a few very nice moments. The former obviously having some conditioning issues from being out a while. Desmond Bryant had decent interior pressure on top of his two sacks. Billy Winn might finally be adjusting to his additional weight. I'm still not a fan of him being 300lbs, but whatever.
The secondary balled out. Dalton was shit but the secondary left very little room to throw. Props to Gilbert and Kwaun last night but especially Skrine. Bounced back from the PI to have
Good awareness on the first INT and just made a great play on the second one. Dansby had one missed tackle but played damn good the rest of the evening. Save for the one special teams penalty, Robertson balled last night as well. Several ST tackles, a pick and blew up the run.
Offense was efficient and error free. Our young backs need to hold onto the ball. I'd have no issue cutting Tate if I could trust them. The online made some hey last night. Part of it is Cincy's line in decline. The other part being growth.
Encouraging, to say the least. This team has a shot. A real shot, for the first time in a long time.
-
Good game.
It wasn't perfect, but they played a damn good game last night.
C McDonald was much better this game than he was against Tampa Bay - he was pretty good actually from what I saw.
RG Greco had one Boneheaded play where he let Atkins straight in onto Hoyer.
We put up 170 yards of Rushing last night.
That's been sorely missing the last several weeks . . . let's hope it's back for the rest of the year.
We're sitting at 6 - 3
Been 7 years since we've won that many games . . . a definite sigh of improvement so I think we can be safe in assuming we'll have an intact (for the most part) FO & Coaching staff for next year.
Regardless of how things go forward from here, it's nice to be playing meaningful games at this point in the Season.

Don't act like a fucking dumbass then and pretend that you don't have a clue about a point spread.
And face it, this is exactly your reaction when you are told that the Steelers are not favored to win a game:
