GO!

Didja know that CIN is 2-6 straight up against CLE since 2020, and have lost the last 2 outright as road favorites?

I didn't either, and I'm not sure it makes any difference but it chills my play on this game, which the Bengals really should win by over a touchdown.

 

[EWV1]

Chase will be pissed if they get beat by some elves. Me too.

 

[doeseatplace]

Crappy Little Elves

Chubb is back.
But the line he's running behind is not the one he left when he was injured.
He should give his team a little boost just being out there.
And I think they keep it close
But...

Burrow's Banditos- 27
Chubbs Chubbies- 17

 

[FarFromHome]

Burrow has been rolling. Watson has not.

Bengals 31
Browns 10

 

[calcinorjones]

Cincy on a roll and appears to be at full strength and balanced offensively w Brown at RB. Browns doing Brown things and look to be playing out the schedule. Feel bad for Chubb. Still a division game but in the end Concy too much offense. So:

Cincy 28
Cleveland 16

Yes, I know that, but I don't think it matters much. Garrett has been Burrow's kryptonite and he's nowhere near 100%. I think the defense comes out inspired with the return of Chubb, but it'll have a shelf life. Browns lean heavily on Njoku and if in position to score, Chubb will deliver, quite possibly via a Stefanski patented opening drive, but eventually the Bengals pull away in the second half and the crowd turns on Watson.

If things gets ugly enough to bench him I think that happens next week. Cincy has enough holes on d for coaching to exploit, so this one doesn't get too out of hand.

Bengals 24

Jameis inactive? JIC Stefanski wants to go rogue and play a QB who gives them a chance to win.

Nah, it's juat a feeble attempt to quell the what will come from the crowd. They'll just chant DTR instead of Jameis though.

 

[Dez]

Watson down and Winston not even the backup today

 

[Insein]

He didn't give himself up. He fell

 

[Deamon]

There goes the achilies

 

[CGRdrJoe]

achilles for watson?

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah, we know what that was

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Why is jameis inactive?

 

[Desert_Power]

Ohhh, you can see that Achilles pop.

 

[General Malaise]

The Cleveland Browns got the break they were looking for. And no, I won't be showing Watson any respect or class.

 

[cockroach]

God listening to Browns' fans prayers today.

 

[Desert_Power]

This would be a good time to have Jamies active in a winnable game.

 

[Fat Nick]

Ohhh, you can see that Achilles pop.

Yeah. Fastest diagnosis ever. Even my 10 year old yelled it out.

 

[karl.Racki]

This would be a good time to have Jamies active in a winnable game.

but he was moved to 3rd string

Dumpster fire franchise behavior there

 

[TartanLion]

Might be the best result for ALL concerned

 

[Ministry of Pain]

They still have to pay DeShaun Watson, not sure what the excitement would be for Cleveland
And he can take well into next season before he would actually be cleared for football activities

He's OUT until 2026?
2020 - 4,800 passing yds, 33TDs/7Int
2021 - Held off the field
2022 - Suspended most of the season
2023 -Arm/Shoulder
2024 -Achilles
2025 -Achilles still will be an issue
2026 -is this the last season of his guaranteed money?

 

[Desert_Power]

Not a good time to be a orthopedic physical therapist in the Cleveland area....

Good point they are Watson’s Achilles heel after all

 

[Capella]

Unbelievable. What a franchise.

 

[Desert_Power]

The Browns really wanted to give that to Chubb. Good to have him back in the NFL, such a fun runner.

You could really massage that post better if you are going to hurt peoples feelings like that

Did it rub you the wrong way?

 

[Dez]

Happy for Chubb needed that TD in the worst way for himself and the fans at the game.

 

[Dez]

Hopkins double choke today missed a FG and XP WTF

Well, gotta get that #1 somehow

 

[-OZ-]

Anyone else hoping the Browns do something with DTR in?

In reality, this is about as happy an ending as Cleveland could have hoped for.

 

[Proteus]

Why is jameis inactive?

This needs further examination for obvious reasons.

Is he just a court jester now? I thought I was being smart by stashing him in dynasty and it turns out it's looking like a big nothing.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Don’t seem to be doing any worse, honestly

Well Clearly likely out for season Watson is. If they are not going to play Winston then they should trade him there are many teams that could use a QB especially Miami.

There's gotta be a Chubb joke in here

I don't know Tua's timeline, but this seems like a no brainer move for Tuesday. He should be playing for a contender.

 

[karl.Racki]

Jameis

 

[IHEARTFF]

Jameis GOAT

 

[Desert_Power]

The most electrifying QB in the NFL

 

[ghostguy123]

I didn't get to watch the game. Why did Winston come in? Injury or just why not?

DTR hand injury

 

[Rubi]

Tough to be a Browns fan these days
My sympathies

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Watson was 15 of 17 throwing the football
He was turning a corner when this happened
You gotta stick with your guy Cleveland, look at how Cousins was able to rebound
You guaranteed the contract and you reshaped the way the NFL had to pay Quarterbacks
