Everything is the defense and Joe Mixon's fault.  That will never change in the Game Day thread :)

Meanwhile the offense went:

Punt
End of half
Downs
Punt
Punt
Punt
Downs


The Oline gave up what, 4 or 5 sacks with the game on the line.

Not even the clear off-sides on the sack. Meanwhile, Bengals get an intentional grounding on something a lot less intentional than what Mahomes threw.

I didn’t think that a couple months ago, they still sucked

Factually untrue.

Tee Higgins drew a 30 yard DPI penalty.

There were only 6 penalties all game. 3 for each team, and only the Browning intentional grounding penalty was BS.

As a backup, he's the real deal. Lot to be proud of.

But when the Chiefs went all out in their rush, they were overwhelming. Not on Browning. He kept the Bengals in the game, in Arrowhead. 

Yes he's a GOOD backup, but still a backup. 

Lots of offseason issues to work on for the team. Obviously they need to know if Burrow will be truly 100% ready for camp and actually have a preseason. They also have schematic and player issues on both sides of the ball, but especially the explosive plays on defense need to be cut WAY down. Also will Reader be back. We'll see.

So the only AFC North team that will be playing starters next week will be Pissburg. This really pisses me off that that piss poor team is going to back in to the playoffs and I blame that wholly on Zac for poor game planning and in game play calling.

At least 2 maybe 3 times, they were off sides

Grounding bad call but it’s it like they let the Chiefs best D lineman line up in the neutral zone (obvious penalty that the side judge is staring at)

Missed Burrow today. He keeps them calm and makes up for a lot of mistakes by others - especially his head coach!

When our o line gets no push why does Zac continue to run up the gut on 4th and 1?

Mixon has been horrible in short yardage most of the year. I know he made a few conversions but he is far below average as a short yardage back.

Someone can correct me, but I don't think the Browns have anything to play for. May be Browns/Bengals Benchwarmers Bowl.

At least the refs weren't as bad as they were at the end of the Dallas/Lions game.

NFL really has a problem with its officiating. More and more commentators are making that observation.

He looked like a deer caught in the head lights that last series. No clock in his head to either run up to the line and run or pass the ball if someone is open. He did that in the first half.

If Frank Polyp is coaching this offensive line again next year, I'll be strictly watching Saturday football.

When it came down to go time Brownings brain kept buffering. Just throw the f'n ball!!!

They called browning for grounding when his arm was hit and you could see mixon in the view

[Nicomo Cosca]

Remember those couple dude’s in this thread that “preferred Browning over Burrow”

:lmao:

I’m embarrassed for you.

His processing is non-existent.

That was my first post about him when he started playing. Said that and high passing was coachable. Note who the coaches are.

Most of the sacks today were on Browning.
