He has such a great laugh. Looks like a little kid.

Browning wouldn’t win 1 game. Burrow is looking fine. We’re starting to open up the play book and take some deep shots. Even though we didn’t connect, the next drive we were moving the chains.

finally?  They held Cleveland to just 13 going into the 4th quarter and the offense hung them out to dry.  Even in the 4th Cleveland only had scored 16 until the Bengals tried to go for a 4th down deep in their own territory.  Defense gave the team a chance.  The offense blew it.

HAHAHA. My bad. I did it on purpose obviously

Way to bounce back from last week Lou. D played dominant tonight, was nice to see Wilson, Dax, Hendx, Hubb, Mac etc. I will take the win but damn this offense has got to get in sync. We should have won by 30 instead it was a nail biter. But a wins a win and no injuries that we know of. Well done. Undefeated in White.

Browning would win more 1 game

Didn't get to catch the game (UK time over here), but have been watching the highlights this morning.

Season saving win! Glad we could eek it out. Stopping those Rams drives early on for FGs was enormous.

Defence really showed up in this one. I think we'll need that to continue as Burrow's health is going to limit the offence unless he gets better.

That said, I think ZT/whoever did a great job with opening up the playbook. Felt like we went all out there with ways to help Burrow out. Lot of motion and getting the ball out really quickly. Great to see a big day for Chase.

Certainly though, I'm concerned about the viability of Joe Burrow for the length of this season. He's clearly not right and he looked quite limited on some of those drop backs. Defence isn't likely to limit everybody to under 20 points a game all year long so unless Burrow's calf gets better I just think there's a real limit on how far we can go this year. Fortunately enough, he said it felt better out there this week and is optimistic this coming week will be better than the last. Fingers crossed.

In any case, great win. Gotta enjoy them when they happen!

You need to watch more football and then you would understand.

The fact the Rams only had one time out made that the percentage play.

Even though the Rams eventually scored a TD, they never got the ball back.

Bengals were a 53 yard field goal away from everyone being a bunch of downers here again.

I’m glad I can be here to brighten you guys’ day up. Honestly I think I should be paid for my services but I really don’t do it for the money. I do it because I care.

Soon as I win the big mega millions drawing I'll keep you in mind.. You think I should buy a ticket once in awhile or just pray i find the winner in a parking lot first?

I thought the game was this evening. I'm confused it was yesterday.

I don't think there's any Tuesday night games for any team
