Bungle Week
-
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..
-
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

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?
-
If the Browns play like they did today. They will lose Thursday
-
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.
SO there you go....... https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/?s=832

I'm not touching any of these lines.
Edit: Maybe the ST Den game...

I like week 2 bounce back games for good teams.
i think Houston is intriguing extra couple days of prep they may show up and cover as a TD underdog.
Watching Colts too. If it falls below -3.
I like the over Browns Bengals. I think we score I see a couple big plays maybe a strip sack TD but I’m not sure that we cover but I can see the Bengals opening it up a little and scoring toward the end. Back door cover type game 27-24.

Houston has nothing but an overblown QB, I find it hard to believe they will cover

I'm leaning on the Browns to win this one as well.

As for the rest of the game... had a little focus issue as I puttered around with the game on in the background... on the mix channel to boot. The game was simply too bad to focus on.
That said FWIW...
Burrows had a very up and down game... typical rookie stuff. A lot of it was due to his OL getting owned all game long... but at the end he put together a really nice drive. Now in part this was due to LAC protecting its 3-point lead with maybe a touch of fatigue in their DL. In any case Joe had time and picked the D apart and actually threw the game winning TD to AJ with 7 seconds left on the clock. However...
AJ was called for pushing off at the top of the route before coming back to the right-front pylon. Great throw met fully extended AJ-hands with toes dragging on the ground. IMO the push was minor... I did not see extended arm... wing maybe, but not arm.
With the penalty negating the TD Cinci went immediately for the tie via a 31-yd FG... which was missed badly. Cinci's kicker grabbed his calf in pain... might even have been hurt...
Bottom line... we should beat these guys... their OL is porous... their D gives up plays (I thought they'd be better).
On the other hand I saw highlights of what WSH did to PHI... especially the way their DL beat up Wentz... so I'm a little less optimistic than I was about Game 3. But at least we have a long week to prep for their visit to CLE.

adding chase to their D did not hurt one bit I believe as a team they had 8 sacks

Regarding the bold I disagree... saw the last 10 minutes of the game at a bar. Green clearly pushed off to get separation.... Yeah, most times that doesn't get called in the last two minutes. But MHO- it was the right call.... And did a little victory jig when their kicker shanked the tying FG with no time left....
