You talking about the fans or the players?
Burrow being indoctrinated into full-blown bungalization.

LOL
He threw 20 INT’s the year he broke the TD record.
Last year Burrow turns that into a first down with his legs...
I had a bad feeling about this game. Browns have a lot to play for this week, and are more talented in a lot of key areas (the only area we have an edge is at wideout).
Lots to work on over the bye week. Short yardage situations on offense. We’re so good at the skill positions, but weak at the point of attack. Defense needs to firm up all over. Really what we need is another draft to firm up the blocking and defense.
Looking at the schedule going forward… all these teams are tough. No easy win like the Jets left on our schedule. At 5-4 it will be tough to make the playoffs. It’ll be tough to win 5 of the last 8 games. Bengals missed opportunities against the Jets and Bears this year. Those losses could keep them out of the playoffs.
Burrow needs to improve. The protection and run blocking needs to improve. The defense needs to firm up in the secondary and front 7. I do think next year we can be a lot better. Burrow should grow/improve and the team around him should get better.
This year we just have too many glaring weaknesses to be a deep playoff team. We may be able to make the playoffs, but I don’t think we’re their yet to really compete for a championship. You have to be able to get a td inside the five more than 75% of the time to be a playoff team in my opinion. We are just too weak at the point of attack. Need to firm up via the draft.
Has Burrow lost all football sense/knowledge? Making terrible decisions.

Good point.
I'm glad that wasn't a Steelers CB or Burrow would be prepped for an ambulance. I saw his life flash.
I'm not sure what the point of punting there is.

I usually try to remain optimistic and objective, but the only thing I have here is objectivity. The Bengals look awful this week, and Burrow looks no better. He’s playing like crap. Rough game to experience. Browns just took it to ‘em.
Man, Burrow coulda been killed there.

Yes, clearly
Take Mixon out next drive
He does not deserve to be forced to play with all of these losers.
Send Burrow to NO for a couple picks and re-sign Dalton. Why waste the kids future.

Total embarrassment. Look like they've given up at this point.
Dude needs to understand he is the least athletic dude out there. This isn’t college you aren’t juking those DBs.
Sit Burrow the **** down and let him stay there until he realizes he’s nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.
That last play is just brain dead. He’s Bungalized. It’s a shame. No one is safe.
Burrow DOES look out of it, for WHATEVER reason. Doesn't seem to have his head in the game.Sit him. How much worse can it get, anyway?
...well, never mind. Disregard that....
