Don't get the name of the thread.
That said, if he plays anything like this past week he will not be the reason they win. I live in Houston and was at the game (had free tickets). He threw 4-5 balls basically straight into the ground and his INT was just straight at the defender standing there. Their offense was basically entirely reliant on the run game.
Even that wasn't that great and they were fortunate with a punt return touchdown, pick six, and fumble recovery for a TD which accounted for 21 points. The offense basically didn't move outside of 1 drive which ended with the Watson pick.
Any defense similar to what we've used against Lamar should completely shut them down.

Guessing he means "the rapist"

One of my favorite SNL skits is "Celebrity Jeopardy" with Will Farrell playing Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond as the antagonizing, Sean Connery.

I never take the Browns lightly, we should all know that by now. As long as Garret is on the other side, they always have a way of making our offensive game plan go to shit. Don’t sleep on these fools.

Of course they'd better not sleep on them. but believe Burrow getting rid of the ball quicker lately in lieu of looking for HR's every play will frustrate their pass rushers and set the tone for a victory.

He was 12 of 21 for 131 yards with an INT in the end zone. Browns had two defensive TDs. I am actually thrilled to play him over Brisett. That may change over time if he finds his old magic, but for now, it's creeper bashing time.

His best was for the catagory ALBUM COVERS
He took "ANAL BUM COVERS"
His final jeopardy answer was BELOW. Then his wager was ME. And Tribek says "BELOW ME". Like, Blow me? Fricking hilarious. Those are all on Youtube if anyone wants a good laugh.

Yeah I honestly like our chances a lot more against Watson. He was rusty as hell last week. Stats don’t even do it justice. Half of those incompletions were easy passes he just threw in the dirt. Plus I feel like having a star QB detracts from their run game and offensive identity which is what has been killing us vs them lately. Subtraction by addition.

should be interesting but I have to have faith that we are on a playoff run now and Browns are basically starting over with this rusty QB and getting to know him. + throw in our OL is playing well now ....I see a V finally against these guys...LETS GET THAT BROWN MONKEY OFF OUR BACKS!

Back on the mothership didn't we have a member named "Turd Ferguson?" Their avatar was a pic of Norm McDonald on SNL as Burt Reynolds. Maybe I'm misremembering....
Watson looked terrible in his first game back in a year against the worst team in the league.
He's clearly not back to form (yet).
But the Browns haven't been a strong passing team in many years anyway.
It's the running backs the Bengals need to stop, and hopefully they can this time around with Reader back.
The Bengals need to get to a lead early and get a good amount of rushing in to 1) keep Chubb off the field, and 2) keep Garrett from causing havoc on Burrow.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

I think it was here, and I would giggle like a child every time I saw his name/avatar.

Think my fav was “Who Reads” and and he says “I’ll take ***** Ads”.
Edit: board blocks the first word but you can probably guess what it says lol.

I honestly think Watson playing works in the Bengal's favor.
Brissett looked like a world beater against them in the first game and the guy has actually had a pretty decent season. They are taking a step back starting Watson until he rounds into form. He looked like complete ass against the Texans.

Agreed. Sometimes Brissett is just on. 300+ yds and 3tds against Bills a few weeks ago? Not an easy task. We are better off playing Watson. I think our defense is going to feast this Sunday.
