Waste of a perfectly good Sunday.

It's our best offensive play of the day, let's be real.

Defensive starters played some in the preseason, and they looked great.

Losing to Cleveland is the worst feeling I know.

I know it’s the first game but someone needs fired.

Nobody looks great when you allow >200 rushing yards at >5ypc.

Yep and the defense did get a turnover and a punt. Still underperformed but nowhere near the level that the offense did.

The good news is Mike Brown probably isn't sending a couple goons to your house to shake you down for Burrow's paycheck. 

Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon, and Burrow.

Three points with these guys on the roster.

Some offense.

It's not just the contract. It's what the contract may do to the team's ability to sign good players at other important positions in the future.

This team severely lacks a tone setter like Bell and Perine was on both sides of the ball.

That’s what’s missing and why this loss looks more season defining then the slow start last year.

Scott was fine.

It isn't 260 million guaranteed.

We’re the bungles again. Just feels right. We’re comfortable here.

Even though there was no chance of winning, giving up with 5 minutes left to play is inexcusable. Points scored and allowed may matter tie breakers for play off spots.

Well, the new punter got some good reps in today. ?

Give or take whatever the difference is. Who cares? It’s a heist.

Why the f would you give the guy whose defense got shredded on the ground and whose secondary is consistently letting receivers get wide open. The worst was the 3rd and 10 in the first half where he dropped the DEs into coverage and allowed an easy 1st down at the sticks.

This entire coaching staff was out coached and out classed. They rely 100% on the players to make up for their coaching deficiencies.

ZT. The problem is with ZT.

Really? They gave up over 200 yds rushing. 
No part of the team played well today.
