TNF: Bengals Vs Browns! Powerhouse matchup of the best 2 NFL teams in Ohio! (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oh look, two first down runs by hunt.  Best not use him early.

This end game / fresh legs thing is exactly how they want to use him.

Aikman just say a sentence without stuttering for once

I've always thought this was kind of a silly worry.  There's no statistical tie to whether or not starting right away works better or worse.  And most importantly to be a good QB in the NFL you have to not be a mental pansy.  If a guy is going to get permanently haunted by a bad year on a bad team then he didn't have what it takes to be an NFL QB in the first place.

I mostly agree. 

I don't think the expansion Texans gave David Carr much of chance to develop though. Alex Smith took a beating in his early years as well. I think prolonged ineptitude with protection can have a negative effect on a QB psyche.

It's not necessarily a matter of starting right away versus sitting. It's more a matter of not getting to develop because you are getting clobbered while trying to learn.

Carr is the obvious example. But, Trent Edwards of the Bills was another example of this. He was really starting to show promising signs until he got drilled (cheap shot) by Adrian Wilson, I think it was, and he was never even remotely the same.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What a catch by whoever that was. 

 

[The_Man]

AJ Green: Joe, I’m gonna stay here with you for 4 years 

Burrow: You really don’t have to do that for me 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oof - Burrow gonna get Green killed.

i think that hit he took on the fumble rattled him. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Boyd with a nice grab. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Noooo Uzomah!  Don't die on me

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

No no no no no

Have him in dynasty. Would bet much prefer him alive. 

 

[I-ROK]

Ouch looked like the calf tore on that slow motion 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

He ded. :(  

 

[travdogg]

Burrow has avoided a good 5 sacks so far. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Same.  He was my deep te.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Taylor could scheme up some outlets for Burrow. It’s just constant jailbreak.

Need a screen

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Same.  He was my deep te.

He’s my TE4, $1 draft pick. I was enjoying being right about him.

You should only be allowed to wear gloves that look like cat's paws if you play for the Bengals or Lions.

Really hating on the Jags and Panthers

 

[Coach3K]

His calf definitely showed something popping in the replay. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks. 

 

[doeseatplace]

and there's the OVER...finally

 

[travdogg]

Who had Mike Thomas outscoring Michael Thomas going into the season?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Mike Thomas still around,wow

 

[Biabreakable]

Of all the WR the Bengals have of course the TD goes to the good Mike Thomas.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

0/330,000,000

I have 3 te4s.  Him, Dan Arnold, and Gerald Everett.  Guess who's dead.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like the Browns.

Life long Browns fan

I just realized that Bears have pretty big paws too. I've had a bit of alcohol tonight.

 

[travdogg]

I might have gone for 2 there. 

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

I watched him a decent bit in college, but you never know until they hit the NFL... I didn't see anything but a couple highlights from week 1. After watching this game, I am a huge fan of Burrow so far.

Dude gots the goods.

Accurate. The Lions strong contenders.

That doesn't make you a bad person.

 

[wgoldsph]

Why the hell is chubb back in the game?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Mayfield just has to play smart and conservative now. 

 

[I-ROK]

I might have gone for 2 there. 

Cleveland will be 4th and goal on the 5 yard line and will go for the TD regardless how many points they are down 

 

[I-ROK]

Why the hell is chubb back in the game?

Come again?

 

[JoeSteeler]

Why the hell is chubb back in the game?

What?

 

[Endowed]

That wore out defense now gets a rested Chubb. Grind it with those backs!

 

[Joe Summer]

I might have gone for 2 there. 

Win probability actually decreases if they go for 2: link

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

5 min drive my rear. 

 

[SkippaDaFlippa]

Can't go wrong with either one of these guys. Might as well flip a coin every play.

 

[wgoldsph]

Come again?

Why is chubb back in the game?  Where's my hunt clock killing yards?

 

[travdogg]

Like the 2008 Panthers with this RB combo, a big play WR, and a possession WR.

 

[belljr]

Pound the Chubb

 

[Endowed]

Very nice by the Browns on O.

 

[belljr]

Sure wish his name was Mike

 

[wgoldsph]

I was going to jump through the TV and strangle the entire team if hunt didn't get that goalline carry

 

[efactor]

Hunt scores the TD on the first try.  Huh 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’ve always been a little surprised by KC not keeping Hunt. He’s just so good.
