***Week 1 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Browns***

[Interceptor]

This is like watching the 90s all over again.

[Destro]

Offense, Coaching and Punting absolutely garbage. Defense allowed to collect paychecks.

Is there a new rule where on 3rd down you mush throw it short of the sticks?

[*michaelsean*]

The throws well short of the sticks on 3rd down are ridiculous.

Down 21... 5 yard pass on 1st down, -1 yard pass on 3rd down.

Uggg!!!!

[Clark W Griswold]

Jeez people are talking about home field advantage already?

There is no guarantee they make the playoffs. It’s not automatically going to be KC vs Cincy in the AFC championship game every year. They need to get it together because the O line is still mediocre at best so they will have to continue to over come that all season.

A joke of a performance today

Great idea on third and long, you fairy

[Destro]

Pass play for behind the sticks. 3 and out. Poor defense.

[casear2727]

We throw behind the 1st down marker on every 3rd down. Zac sucks horribly, and Dalton never looked this bad.

[jfkbengals]

They need to strip Robbins of #10. They shouldn't be desecrating Huber's legacy with that guy.

[TKUHL]

Why do we constantly call plays that have no chance at a first down.

I believe you can lose a game and get the #1 seed.  It sucks but there are 16 games left so the sky is still up there in my eyes.

Last year was horrendously bad in terms of preparedness, and the playcalling seemed ridiculous. But we only lost in OT in very Bungles fashion. We should've won that game despite all the crap that went on.

This... I mean it's been a blowout really. It's difficult to see how we go from this to beating the Ravens next week. Getting annihilated by a team that'll do well to finish better than 7-10. This game is a gimme W for the Bills/Chiefs/49ers and we're getting destroyed.

Its week 1 and the likely 1 seed just lost as well.

Barely. 

They weren’t dominated like this.

Keep Lou Anarumo — but the rest of the coaches should be on the hot seat already.

We threw a couple bombs on third and short
