I don’t really feel bad for Browns fans because it was *one* game and you have a great QB for at least the next decade.

I understand it’s a letdown after an off-season of hype but it’s gonna be okay and they should feel a little better after watching the Steelers crash and burn with their busted old and fat QB

This is the arc of cleveland sports. Things look really good and you're right on the verge of actual real things then it's extra innings of game 7 and you're the only team to do lose not once but twice in that fashion. This is the perpetual cycle, how the hope builds to fuel the factory. How do I know it's already over? Because this is how it's always been

On paper Mariota shouldn't have survived the game with that defensive line. In reality it was a loving paper tiger.

Just remembered to look to see what Myles Jack said after the game (mostly boilerplate I'm sorry, won't happen again, etc) but it did make me wonder what was up on that play.

Sammy Watkins blew him up is what pissed him off originally. But it was a passing play, a straight dropback and not an RPO or anything I don't think. What was going on there? Did Watkins have the wrong play call? Was he trying to bait Jack or something dumb like that?

What a weird rear end play, with the Chiefs season almost dying along with everything Jack did.

for many years, i have been killing my liver out of despair. despair of play calling. anemic route combinations, rbs slammed into stacked boxes, play action absent despite the run being established, whatever the gently caress that means. today, all has changed. Mr. Moore (Moore, Kellen) calls a modern offense. RPOs, Deep routes into the middle of the field, constant pre-snap motion, large usage of play action. I now kill my liver out of joy

I have mixed feelings on how the Bengals played but I think the coaching was solid. I'm very much a Taylor skeptic but I saw a lot to like, we'll see if he's able to modify things as people get tape or if this was all of his ideas.

It was cool seeing the football team I like see a defense that was in the 4-3 like 80% of the time and say 'gently caress it lets throw it every play'.

Also the Bengals have an insane number of talented pass rushers

I'd caution Bengals fans with the reminder that the Seahawks are always terrible and disjointed in September. No clue why that is, but it's a hallmark of Carroll teams.

Anyway the Bengals were smart to pass it that much, no Ansah or Reed meant Seattle's pass rush was limited and their secondary is currently the weak point. Their run D on the other hand should be stellar, although it was funny to see the Bengals totally opt out of running.

Every year when we play the Jags their defensive players have game-long meltdowns, last year it was Telvin Smith now it’s Myles Jack. Just do your job and cover Travis it can’t be that hard

there's a bunch of times they didn't resign or they traded guys because belichick is a skinflint and it likely cost them rings.

I thought that the timeout happened because Bevell didn’t like the look from the Cardinals defense, which would’ve been bad but an honest mistake. But apparently it was called because the coaches didn’t think their 11-year veteran quarterback would get the snap off. This truly elevates it into the pantheon of worst Lions losses, even though they technically didn’t lose.

Also it’s nice to have a tight end who can both get open AND hold onto the ball.

Goes back almost to the beginning with Lawyer Milloy released after declining to take a paycut, leading to getting beat down 31-0 by the Bills and "they hate their coach" they then went on to win the super bowl

If you include trades there's a bunch more, like Branch, Richard Seymour, Moss, Logan Mankins, Chandler Jones, and Jamie Collins

For whatever reason, that's not usually the problem. It usually the easy throws he struggles to hit consistently.

I can count at least three times yesterday that he overthrew McCaffrey/Olsen/Samuel on throws of varying distances.

I'm legit concerned (and especially so because he barely ran or scrambled at all yesterday)
