Bengals' first teamers have been the hottest team in football the last three weeks.   Gotta hope there is zero carryover next week  from today's travesty. Hoping no loss of momentum from what we've accomplished the last three weeks.

It's the backups. Win or lose next week, this outcome today has no bearing on the playoffs.

Hard as it is for some to accept Zac made the right call resting the starters here. We had a lot of dinged up players on both sides and the week off gets them much closer to being able to play at 100% next week.

Comon, when Zac is coaching we always stand a chance.

That's our way of staying sharp for the playoffs.

Not my favorite. Made this name in the off-season after the '09 season.

Stop lying, we all know you are really Micro_Ern.

I was surprised he didn't get plucked from our PS.

I don't care about sitting guys. It was the right call with almost nothing to play for. We might get stuck playing the Patriots which would be the team I want to play the least. But you gotta play tough teams in the playoffs. Mike Daniels might need to get some playing time next week.

I think he's auditioning for a starting spot.

So you don’t believe in momentum, huh? I’m sure 66% of the teams in the past 10 years who did this and lost first game of playoffs might disagree with you. It affect preparation, playing reps and momentum.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

The Browns are playing all their healthy starters. Chubb. Landry. 2 pro bowl OL. Garrett. Clowney. We should be getting smoked.

Another nice play by Daniels.

Hargreaves down. Hope he is OK. That right there is why the starters are not playing.

He made the right choice.

You have absolutely no idea if this would happen with starters.

Well, the 'Daniels dude' is a 10 year veteran.

So whats more important? Momentum or health?

We got a CB down on the field at the moment, had our QB holding his back a bit earlier. Would it be better if it was Burrow and Awuzie injured but we win this game?

Edit : Allen out with concussion as well.
