***Week 8 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Browns***

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Evan McPherson isn’t good this year. I don’t know what’s different.

[THE PISTONS]

We know the Browns are going to run. They push our defense back and get 5 yards.

Zac = Nope

Tossing it UP to Higgins should definitely  be a part of all our game plans let alone with Chase out. He has the height and the ups to win a lot of those battles.

That was McPherson’s best kick of the night.

Zac's "offensive system" and play calling are partly the cause. They make the job of an OL a lot harder because they have no identity and the bad early down play calls keep putting the OL in ideal pass rushing scenarios.

You can't win when you have a bad OL. They could have prime Calvin Johnson with prime Randy Moss and prime Jerry Rice but if the line is getting beat over and over it doesn't matter.

My big fear is that Zac sucks. Last year was lightning in a bottle. And that we'll be around .500 every year.

[Whatever]

They took a shot to Higgins earlier.  And really, the only reason he brought that one in is he got away with a blatant push off.

[Von Cichlid]

Think the Browns would trade Hunt to us for a 4th round pick?

it's called denial. They're in denial

and then you have illogical homers like Nate spamming that the line is good..

nobody wants to admit Collins is a lemon

But the Bengals lead the league in horizontal passing yards.

Plus he has been held by the Browns DBs all damn game.

Oh, I fully agree. O-Line has been bad for years.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Being physically punished in the trenches on both sides of the ball is not a recipe for winning.

There’s no reason to fear the possibility. You just need to get used to it as fact. He’s mega-bad. Like hot cole slaw in your coke bad.

There was a point where they had like 5 rushes and 20 passes or something similar.

The defense had 4 man line with the ends wide. Center was wide open. No runs.

Ya'll complaining about Mixon's 0 yard catches but they do wonders for my PPR Fantasy team........

[Whatever]

Mikey's got a Lamar Hunt trophy that begs to differ.
