You bet your ass.. I'm jealous as hell. I worked damned hard for decades and didn't even earn 3rd string 7th round rookie money..EVER!

I know I don't want to jump off the cliff. But I think we are gonna find ourselves in another 0-2 start. Not much to take away from this game. Or much to feel optimistic about for next week.

Anyhow...how is Orlando Brown working out for you guys so far?

The Chiefs lost by 1; not 21.

[samhain]

Does this team actually have an offensive scheme other than being better than the other team athletically?

Get out of here with that, we got dominated just as badly those times as this one.

Couldn’t even score garbage time TDs. Right.

I don't see how anyone with sense would be blaming the defence today.

What the heck are they meant to do when the offence has put up 3 points and your star QB is 14-31, 82 yards?

We were in this game longer than we should have been, because of the D.

No worries, it’s only preseason game #2

#1 seed???


Unless my eyes are deceiving me, this bunch ain't sniffing playoffs.    Just an epic failure in every phase.

[Whacked]

The Stains D is STACKED.

Even with Watson they are headed to (and will be competitive) in the playoffs.

Rat Turds and Stains will be battling it out for 1st place.

[Millhouse]

Taylor's offense got owned.

Highest paid player in NFL history thus far couldn't even throw over 100 yards.

The defense eventually broke down.

No excuses

For real. They deserve no criticism. Only part of the team playing all day. Must be tired and p*ssed.

100th game against the Browns, and we get embarassed.  Does MB sack somebody after the game?  I wouldn't blame him if he did.

Wake up call for Burrow and Taylor

Defense was fine.

7 3 and outs by the offense meant they were out there almost an entire quarter more than the Browns D.

[jfkbengals]

Take the TOs Zac. Offense needs the reps!

[Mickeypoo]

I'm just gonna forget football has started.  This just left me with zero interest in any other games.  Beyond disappointed.  Absolutely pathetic.  And we STILL have a shit oline.  yay.
