***Wk 9 GameDay Thread...Browns @ Bengals***

[*pally*]

I don't see Burfict coming back in the 2nd half..he was obviously feeling that knee at the end of the first half. Everytime Rey Maualuga goes out we see a drop off. He may not be a Pro Bowl player but he holds our defense together

[packerbacker]

The announcers think it was an uninspired effort by the Bengals D.

exactly!!!

Yeah, we'll need to keep an eye on that in the 2nd half.  Hopefully we don't see Burfict in coverage very often.

We're winning yet all they do is talk about Johnny football it's so annoying

There was nobody else between manziel and the end zone if Rey doesnt come up.

I do think we need to take a few shots downfield. Defense needs to be more aggressive, Paulie needs to go after Manziel and not sit back. Sitting back won't work here.

Bengals D
2012 (Zimmer): 6th
2013 (Zimmer): 3rd
2014 (Paulie G): 22nd
2015 (Paulie G): 22nd

It's really quite clear what the verdict is.

Exactly! He should have been gone after last season.

Clevelands entire offense is built around breaking the rules.  If you don't have a problem with a lack of integrity, maybe you should find another sport.  Blatant pass interference missed as well.

Hard for me to argue with this point of all points.

Sometimes there is a need for rules as anti Leatherheads as that sounds.

We should still beat the shit out of these guys in the 2nd half tho even with this...

Did Simms actually say the crowd was rooting for Manziel?

[Aquapod770]

How many browns fans are there? Hopefully a lot because our home crowd is being way too loud when we're on offense

Should see FB and Twitter feed. NFL is desperate to sell jerseys. The dude's nickname is the sport.

[West Union KennyG]

Here we go - history in the making! Who-Dey!

[HarleyDog]

Need to come out scoring

[Joelist]

Run goes nowhere....

[Joelist]

AJ gets the first. Not sure why we are dinking and dunking so much.

[packerbacker]

Aren't the Browns corners hurt?

[yellowxdiscipline]

Maybe run Hill behind a FB ?
