I hope you are right, and we have someone come in that is much better than DA and we move forward. It will probably have to wait until next preseason though.

get a grip guys, we couldn't beat a terrible team. DA stunk it up just as bad as BQ did. our defense looked like an average defense against a very below average team. thats nothing to be happy about. our offense still stunk

I don't know about that....I don't consider the Bengals to be a terrible team....Carson Palmer....Ochocinco...Malaluaga(sp).....Benson......those are some pretty decent players, wouldn't you say? They are 3 - 1 aren't they? They beat Pittsburg, didn't they? We played it down to the wire, but our defense got tired, and our offensive play calling wasn't really what I would used to try and win a game. DA played well....if you can't see the difference in the offense with DA in there....well...you need to take your Brady Quinn rose colored glasses off. I feel bad for Quinn, but I can't see him playing again unless DA gets hurt.

The gayest post EVER. PIT beat PIT. Are we 10 years old now. Any other cliches?

And they lost to a 4-0 Broncos team on a fluke. And.......

@alendor said:

Didn't they beat the Steelers. Quit your whining you little bitch. They played well.

Chickenwang said:

The Bengals that beat the world champion Steelers last week. They are 3 - 1 it is not like they suck this year.

@alendor said:

They suck? They are a fluke play away from being 4 and xxxxing 0 this season. What kind of moron says that a 3-1 team (who should be 4 and 0) sucks? They went into Lambeau field and beat the Packers (unless they suck too) and then followed that up with a beating of the Steelers (shit, they must suck I guess as well). Keep in mind the only team Cincy has lost to is the 4-0 Broncos who might not be as shitty as everyone thought at the beginning of the season.

When the Bengals are playing for the playoffs in December are you still going to say that they're a bad team?

We could've won..Anderson played ok, it made a big difference in the offense and the defense played a very good game.

@atenears said:

What strikes me kind of funny though, of all the threads here, I don't believe I read anyone bitching about the missed 'reps' DA didn't receive in training camp, presaeson, and weeks 1-3.

Also, how did the O-line get so much better over-night? Quinn was sacked how many times in the first two weeks?

How come Cincy didn't have 8-9 in the box to stuff the run?

Yes .... DA .... he makes a World of difference.

MoMass was probably ready for a break-out game, too bad Quinn wasn't in to reap all those benefits, huh?

DA Baby ... he's better, he's our starter until a vet or someone comes in and out plays him.

Like I said, you are right he is the best option for the Browns. A gunslinger always gives teams a chance. Only problem is they also lose plenty of games along the way. My point was please go back and watch the game over again if you think DA played a good game.

I don't dispute he played better then you could expect Quinn to play but he is far from a top NFL starting QB. With the field position, defensive play and breaks the team got today a good QB would have put Cincy away. You can't have the special team give you the ball more then one time deep in the opponents territory and come away with FGs.

And, some of that I don't put on DA, I puts it on some very suspect play calling. Lets see, bring Royal in motion and stop at the B gap and even I knew they were going to run right behind him.

Better today, but that doesn't even make it very good.

Brady couldn't even SNIFF the endzone outside of garbage time TDs. No way DA was as bad as Brady was NO xxxxING WAY!!! Are you Retarded or just a troll?

@atenears said:

Funny, a few days ago after three weeks of starting Quinn all were pretty certain we were heading for 0-16.

We still might be heading for 0-16. Continued play like we saw today might net us a win or three. Well, we did see the good DA today except for the mandatory pick at the goal line, that turned the momentum around.

Can't say Anderson single-handedly lost the game, but he sure didn't win it either, despite many chances in the fourth quarter and overtime. I'll let the young 'uns help me out here- does Anderson have a last minute game winning drive to his credit yet? Don't seem to remember one.

Even Wright was improved, and McDonald was in on many plays and hustled well.

Masters said:

LMFAO.

You can say that about any good team that loses. What was the final result?

We could also say that the Bengals SHOULD be 4-0 but they are not they are 3-1. They beat a good Packers team a good Steelers team and as people would say they should have beat the 4-0 broncos.

You have gone off the deep end fast in just about every post you submit.

Oh, we are talking 6-10 now?

@alendor said:

Anyone who watched the PIT/CIN game last week knows Cincy didn't beat PIT, PIT beat PIT.

@atenears said:

I guess you're looking forward to more 6-10 years, then. Well, that IS an improvement.

@alendor said:

That's what Pittsburgh was mumbling last week too.

You obviously haven't watched Cincy this season. They are a solid team.

@ytownbrownsbacker said:

Yes, a vast improvement but to say DA had an excellent game is a stretch. He did pretty good for his first start. But he was still DA and will always be DA. Stared down receivers, hit guys in their helmets before they got out of their breaks and missed on some very good opportunties set up by Cribbs. Interception at the goal line was a very poor read. But, he showed his big arm and showed that with him in there the Browns have a sluggers chance of winning. He does give the Browns the best chance to win but he makes to many mistakes that overshadow his good work. for that you can't be that happy. He isn't our franchise QB but he will have to do until one arrives.

Today was about Cribbs, special teams and a nice defensive game plan by Ryan.

Play calling leaves a lot to be desired. They overused Harrison. When you only have Harrison, where was the WildDawg with Cribbs? Vast improvement but there was a lot of room for improvement. Happy, not quite, but it wasn't an embarrassment and showed Mangini hasn't lost the team. This is the type of game that can get more guys to buy into his system.

That is all but Edwards who was on vacation today. Nice to see MoMass step up but why so many two TE sets and WTF with Royal split wide.

Solid points. We had a chance to win that one and didn't.

What strikes me kind of funny though, of all the threads here, I don't believe I read anyone bitching about the missed 'reps' DA didn't receive in training camp, presaeson, and weeks 1-3.

@roach said:

i agree that our pass rush is still embarassing.

Listen, I don't disagree agree with you the way the Browns are using Wimbley, but lets come on, the main purpose of the OLB is to get pressure "consistantly". Wimbley doesn't. He was stoned. So where the rest. Probably should think about getting Benard on the roster later on and check him out, but I don't have much faith in any of them.

U mean the Team that defeated the Steelers and Green Bay ? Wow if that is ur definition of sucky then i wish we were that sucky !
