    Pitt won against a team that's seriously trying to be the third team in NFL history to go 0-16. Bungle for Burrow, Chase Young, not wins. Finley sucks, and the Bungle defense is dead last in the NFL. The Queen City Kitties had them on the ropes in the first half, and couldn't finish the deal. 

    Duck was a whopping 5\11 against a suck defense. Steelers get a couple fumble recoveries.   

    Some guys just can't enjoy the ride....  

    OK, super cool, zero worries with Pitt. Maybe a 21 point win. It could be.

    At this point, we can't take anything for granted. Just saying- a beat up Steeler team beat a bad Bengals team on the strength of one big play, and a couple recovered fumbles.

    If Cinci can't pull out a win against the Jets this Sunday. 0-16 is a distinct possibility. Their game against the Dolphins could be the Burrow Bowl. LOL, their game against the Patriots could have the biggest line in Vegas history.

    They will go for Chase Young....no doubt, not a QB.  There are several  QBs that will be FAs next year....so they may pick up one of them. These include some that would retire before going to the Bengals, but there could be a couple of names that could consider moving if the money is right....in fact, some may be shown the door by their current team and will be looking for a place to land.

    Brady

    Brees

    Rivers

    Eli Manning

    All FAs at the end of the year.....not likely going anywhere?  (much less the Bengals?)  Or, do you think any of these retire?

    Also:

    Dak Prescott....will Jerrah pony up? 

    Marcus Mariota....ousted as starter at Tenn. 

    Jameis Winston....will Tampa re-up on him...or begin over. 

    Case Keenum....benched for Haskins, I believe.

    Teddy Twatwater....Could want his own team....and a paycheck.....

  • Duck dynasty is absolute defecate.  He just throws the ball because he has nothing to lose...he is the 3rd string...he is crap.

    he is better than rudolph the red shit mason......but as you say, he is the third stringer.....i am more concerned about their d....and tomlin vs blockhead kitchens...and believe me, he is a blockhead coach....

    Brady not going anywhere

    Brees ditto

    Rivers ditto 

    Eli Manning you can make a case Eli is as washed up as Dalton

    Also:

    Dak Prescott....will Jerrah pony up? "he's got no choice" and the Cowboys are going to be seriously in cap hell after they overpaid Zeke- and others- couldn't happen to a better FRAK team

    Marcus Mariota....ousted as starter at Tenn. bum

    Jameis Winston....will Tampa re-up on him...or begin over. bum

    Case Keenum....benched for Haskins, I believe. bum

    Teddy Twatwater....Could want his own team....and a paycheck..... Only one I could see moving- but he's not going from a playoff team to the Bungles

    Nope Gipper- as the resident Bungle observer- unless there's "a great disturbance in the Force" the Bengals WILL draft a QB at #1 overall, and probably Burrow. Chase Young is mighty tempting, (looks like another Kahlil Mack one man wrecking crew) but I ask you has Mack turned the Bears into a serious Super Bowl contender this year? I say no way Jose.  Sure, they could use Young, but they're paying Dunlap and Atkins a ton of money already. As we know, franchise QB trumps everything else. Yeah, the Texans drafted Javedon Clowney #1 overall- but they didn't start playing good until they got Deshawn Watson. 

    Don't forget Cinci started one of their their recent runs of being good when they drafted Carson Palmer #1 overall. Does it look like Joe has that same potential? From what I saw against Alabama, I say yes. Finally, Dalton turned into the perfect system QB. Was as good as his surrounding cast, which isn't very good anymore. Green has been hurt all year, Eifert is an injury riddled shell of what he was, Ross and Jonah Williams are out of action. Cheapo Mike made humongous mistakes when he let Andrew Whitworth (and others) walk out in FA.  

    That said, you could posit the bunglin' Bungles could take Young- and then hope they still suck bad enough next year to have a shot at Trevor Lawrence in the 2021 draft.  🙂  Or did you forget the weeping and gnashing of teeth when the Browns passed on a chance to take Carson Wentz?   

    PS Walter Football does have the Bengals bungling for Burrow at #1 overall.....

    Nope,  in fact, I think you hit it on the head....that  the Bengals will pass on the QB,  and wait until the chance to get  Lawrence.

    In fact, maybe we should put one of our little bets on this:   I say, assuming the Bitchy Pussies have the #1 pick.  (and I think the only way that won't get that is if they beat the Browns....and we cannot have that).........they take Chase Young.      

    I assume you will say otherwise...that they take a QB?

    Bottle of Wine on it? 

    My wife really liked the last bottle I won from you.....the Schloss Vollrads Estate Reisling.  In fact, she even kept the bottle, which I am looking at right now.   We could use another when I win....next April 😛

    Are we on?     If you win, you will have to figure something out.....something in the $20-25 range.

    It would be typically Mike Brownsian to take Young, and not a QB. But I say daughter Katie will talk him out of dementia, and draft a QB. So easy- Bengals will take a QB in April...  Bottle of wine? Sure....

    All right...You're on!!  😁

    We will need to remind ourselves of this as we get closer. 

  • It's only Monday.  We just had one of our best games of the year.  But it's already packed away because,  It's Steeler Week!

    We Gotta Beat Them  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!

      Browns Steelers
    Rushing 124.2 87.9
    Passing 230 200.6
         
    run def 124 103.5
    pass def 214.5 217.2

    Like the way it happened or not, the rivalry has been rekindled.  We now hate them more than a couple of weeks ago and you know that they now hate us in a way that they haven't for decades ('cos we've been crap...and 'cos we smashed them over the head with their own helmet).

    Although they are a shadow of what they've been because of their QB situation and injuries, the game is being played in Pittsburgh.  Their fans will be at the top of their game...hating us as loudly as they can.  I would suspect that season ticket holders will NOT be selling their tickets for this weekend's game.  

    They STILL play pretty good defense.  And we struggle playing good defenses.  Not only that, but they may be switching to their 3rd string QB.....and you KNOW how lousy we are against 3rd string QB's.  (that Denver game haunts us)

    They haven't been able to run the ball well, having their starting RB hurt with a shoulder....but stopping the run is a weakness of ours.  Their passing attack is weakened because of their QB & receiver issues (that'll do it, as we know from 20 years of it).  But our pass rush won't be the same without Myles...although we will have Ogunjobi back....Vernon however is a question mark.  

    Our offense has to continue to gel and make plays while moving the chains.  After our last fateful meeting, Baker said while still on the field that the offense was not anywhere near where they needed to be.  And he was right.  We won 21-7 while getting a pile of turnovers.  Without all those Steeler turnovers it would've been a much different game.  

    The offense was good this past Sunday, but Pittsburgh does NOT have Miami's defense.  

    The Steelers are ahead of us in the division and in the wild card race.  We MUST WIN this game!   Go Browns!

    He literally hadn't missed a throw when I was watching. It's insane. Right now he's 15-20 for 190 yards, 5 TDs, no picks. He's also got 100 yards rushing. 

  • About time this thread was launched...

    Sure their D is still the strength of their team, but our O is a good scrimmage better than the one that hung blackjack on them just two short weeks ago.

    Defensively... we just sit back in a variety of zones and play confuse-a-duck.

    Not even Heinz will save them.

    We Need to stop their run.  They are gonna try to win ugly hold the ball move the chains limit the tough throws their QB has to make.

    I seriously underestimated Jackson when he came out. Marked improvement in his accuracy..  We were wishin' and a hopein' he 'd be hurt by now running as much as he does..  But he's an amazingly shifty runner who to date has easily managed to avoid taking big hits.

    Jackson is a divisional rival. He can go to hell. That is all.
