"I’m a little upset they got three points.” - BURROWorBUST - 12-07-2015
You have to love Burfict. That quote came from him, of course, but you have to know the entire D wanted a shutout, and they damn near got it.

That's 10 or fewer points allowed in 5 of their 12 games.
20 or fewer points in 7 of 12
24 or less in 11 of 12.
Only AZ broke 30 points against us all year, and that was without some of our best secondary guys.
On Offense, we've scored 30+ in 7 of our 12 games.
We've been been held to less than 24 points only twice. We were 1-1 in those games.
Overall, we're playing like you'd expect a #1 seed to play. Now you know why this team senses that a ring is within their reach. They just keeping getting the job done one week at a time.

The difference with Tez in the lineup is drastic. Since he came back, we've allowed 10 points or less in 5 of 6 games. The run D has improved leaps and bounds thanks to Burfict.

This defense has been playing fantastic. Whether that is because of Burfict or perhaps the easier schedule i'm not sure. Bottom line it's great to see Burfict back and it's great to see this defense play lights out as it has the past month.

I think Reggie said it too, they wanted the Goose Egg. I think Burfict also said their goal was to not let them past the 50. Good goals :)
Anyways, Paulie should get some credit, he has had some good gameplans lately, and is letting the guys do their thing out there instead of getting in the way.

I'm proud of the Bengals anyway. Cleveland was playing second and third stringers and the QB was third string, too. They went up there and did exactly what they were supposed to. It's good that the coaches gave McCarron some snaps at the end.
It's sad about the Browns.

I'm so glad he is back, especially for this week's game....Pig Ben has a knack for holding on to the ball forever and then a 5 yard checkdown turns in to a 25 yard reception. Not with 55 in there....

Browns fans deserve so much better. Awful team, classic uniform overhauled for a Nike monstrosity, eugh, feel for them.

Either check down or bomb pass. Live and die by the bombs

That was a great game yesterday. I would have loved a shut out too, but I'll take only giving up a field goal.
RE: "I’m a little upset they got three points.” - BengalFanInNJ - 12-07-2015
Defense has been solid. So much better than last year and it starts with a healthy 97.
The real test will be this Sunday.

its on pace to break the franchise record for lowest points allowed.

I've always thought they have, BY FAR, the ugliest uniforms in the league. First of all, they are very plain. Secondly, there is no uglier color than brown.
This team did what it was supposed to do yesterday, and all of us should feel good about it. Even though it was a division game, they went into someone else's house and completely dismantled an inferior team. They did not play down to the level of competition, they beat them on both sides of the ball. It is a good omen going forward.

I think every defense guy should go into every game with the attitude that they want the shutout.

Actually the two games where the team gave up 24 points it was not the defense that gave up 24. In both those games the offense coughed it up for 6 the other way. The only team to actually exploit our defense was Arizona. Other than that game, I'd say our defense has played better than most people had hoped for.
I'm not sure I could be upset about 3 points yesterday. Had to be upset at all about a blow out win against the Browns.

Browns
vs Bengals: 6.5 pts
vs all others: 20.3 pts
Steelers
vs Bengals: 10 pts
vs all others: 27.4 pts
Texans
vs Bengals: 10 pts
vs all others: 22.1 pts
Rams
vs Bengals: 7 pts
vs all others: 16.5 pts
I'd understand your point if the D was simply playing decent against bad teams, but they're straight dominating. The Bengals have fared better against these teams than anyone else on their respective schedule's.
They've held the Steelers, Texans and Browns to their lowest scoring outputs of the season (an impressive feat), while holding the Rams to their 3rd lowest.

Im surprised the team is still named after a coach they fired and then created their rival.
RE: "I’m a little upset they got three points.” - Bengal Dude - 12-07-2015
This season has really showed how important Burfict is to our defense. We've just looked like a completely different unit out there since his return. I will admit that I wanted us to steer clear of him in 2012, but he's a completely different player than he was at Arizona State. So kudos to the coaches on getting him straightened up.

Browns fans love Paul Brown and hate Art Modell. They'll never let the name be changed.

They also need to hang on to the 50s and 60s greatness. The original plan was for the team history, uniforms, and name to simply go to Baltimore but Cleveland got to hang on to all of that; hence the Browns became the Ravens and a new team became the Browns. Browns fans have it the worst.

Makes sense. Certainly do not like Cleveland, but the fan base did get the shaft twice by ownership.
After watching how poorly the Clowns performed, I could understand the disappointment in not getting the shutout. They played so badly, and underserving of any points. I'm sure that may be the basis of the comment.
Co-incidentally, I watched Zombieland later that evening, and the main character "Columbus" asked to stop to use the bathroom - said he needed to "Take the Browns to the Superbowl"......I thought, how fitting was that comment after watching the game?
