Bengals receiver calls out Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr.

https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-cincinnati-receiver-calls-out-baker-mayfield-odell-beckham-jr/

The Cincinnati Bengals have their new franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. With that comes a lot of excitement about the team. Excitement that hasn’t really been there for the past few years. They aren’t the only standout quarterback-wide receiver duo in Ohio, though.

NFL Network took to Twitter to ask who people would chose in 2020. The Cleveland Browns duo of quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., or the Bengals duo of Burrow and receiver Tyler Boyd.

The Gipper

Well, he said "Shits not even close". And he IS right. This guy is like 3rd or 4th WR on his team, no? OBJ is our #1 guy. And Burrow hasn't even played a down yet.

So, yes, shits not even close. Browns duo by a landslide.

Perfect.

We need everyone else to hype themselves and talk smack.

Two jobs this offseason- shut mouth and do work

I hope Baker and Odel have no reply. I hope last year was a humble experience and we get to showing it on game day.

Ibleedbrown

This feels like badly manufactured hype to me. “Shits not even close”? In May?

If l were Baker l would just piss on my cat and go about my day.

At least the twitter string included some entertainment...

Boyd? Boyd? Not even Green?

Mrs. Boyd has zero starts, in 7 games vs the browns..Mrs. Boy-d has 28 catches on 34 targets mounting to 302 yards & 2 touchdowns in such 7 games...

In Baker's 2 seasons..Bake has no reason to respond to Mrs. Boy*-d's tweet.. ?"so I won't"

Green never even played last year.

Boyd is a DUPA!

Well if that's not being a true fan of high hopes, then I don't know what else it can be. As of now, the Browns QB/ WR duo will always have a better rating than the Bengals ROOKIE QB who hasn't put his uniform on yet. And UNTIL the Bengals QB/WR duo has a better rating, then this is not a matter of concern. Who knows, the Browns might be the one to shorten Joe Burrow's rookie season with a injury by getting sacked .

I don't wish injuries on anyone except Ben Raplesbooger..

BrownsfaninPa

I agree im not looking for the young QB to get injured, just saying that it could happen on a wrong move on the QB by avoiding a tackle. Strickly innocent tackle play.

Q1:

So far Burrows has looked like a rookie... errant passes... eyeing the rush... locking onto to well-covered receivers. But last drive hit AJ on a slant... nice... and ran for a TD on a called QB draw so curious to see how he settles in.
Mixon looks pretty good early, but being held in check by a still very good LAC D.
Cinci D? Hard to tell as the Tyrod-led, LAC O looks bad... very bad, but he did just hit a nice out route... and followed it up with a failed 4th and 2 read-option that he kept.
Bosa owns Cinci's RT... bodes well for MG having a big game

End of 1st... CIN 7 - LAC 0

SdBacker80

Looks like a battle of two teams destined for Top 5 of the draft.

Next week Thursday is a must win of course.

Cincy vanilla O so far. The WRs scare me a little John Ross in the slot is a problem. Is T Thomas covering him?

Browns149

If the Browns play like they did today. They will lose Thursday

Dutch Oven

Not sure if playing again so fast after today's debacle is a good or bad thing...

I'm worried things could unravel if they lose Thursday night.

This game with the bengals doesn't feel right. Seems to me we have a history of losing to either rookie or back up QB's.

Last year I believe one loss was to the QB in Denver, then we lose to a guy named Duck in Pitt.

Yeah, I know, but we're winning this one. I'm not saying it'll be pretty, but we're winning this one.

* WEEK 2 * in the AFCN CLE -6.5 OVER CIN and BAL -6.5 at HOU, PIT a -6.5 favorite vs DEN the NFL injury report to follow.

Is this last second choke by the Cincinnati Bengals kicker on their new super stud rookie quarterback's debut one of the top 5 worst EVER ? Well no actually there were more according to Bengal fans who know all about such things -but- it does set up the Thursday night game in Cleveland up as a classic matchup.......well maybe a better matchup with the loser having TWO conference losses to start the 2020 season.

According to our friends at vegasinsider.com the browns opened up an 8.5 point favorite and now is a 6 point favorite and 45 point O/U right now.

Oh the biggest Bengal chokes of all time check it out for yourself. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/255629-the-five-most-gut-punching-cincinnati-bengals-losses-of-all-time

And the AFCN games BAL -6.5 at HOU and PIT a -6.5 favorite at home vs DEN.
