TNF: Cleveland at Cincinnati (1 Viewer)

How was that a first down? Looked like a yard short.

 

[GreenBaySnackers]

Wait, so does this mean the Browns are going to be tied for 1st after they win this game?

 

[knowledge dropper]

Refs getting lazy

Not by Jeff Triplett's eyes

Only one ref could be as incompetent as these two teams - and that is Jeff Tripplette

They are 1-0 against the Steelers so they would technically be ahead of them, right?

[amnesiac]

whatevs, they just made the first down.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Tate seems to be the passing down back

 

[knowledge dropper]

Unfortunately, the Steelers schedule is easy down the stretch. They will win the North by at least 2 games

1-1

My bad, forgot about week 1 already. So it comes down to divisional record if they would be tied.

Did Hill ever go back in after the fumble?

1 snap.

I think this first half has proven Gio Bernard still has a significant role when he comes back. The time to sell high on Hill has come and gone. The way the Bengals defense looks the Bengals are going to be playing from behind a lot in the 2nd half in the season and that favors Gio.

The Bengals coaches are idiots. He has one fumble and goes in the doghouse. One in the pros and one in college. He clearly has a ball security problem.

And then Burkhead comes in to a HUGE hole on that 3rd down draw that should have been a big play, and gets dragged down by the weakest arm tackle of the year. Is there any doubt that Hill picks up 15-20 yards on that play if he's in there?

Probably right but not my point about Hill. Going into this week everyone was huge on Hill especially for this week. Including myself because the Browns stink vs the run. But my point is the Bengals offense really stinks right now and their defense may be worse. Think about all the players Cleveland is missing and yet they still are moving the ball effectively. Good teams are going to tear that defense apart. That means the Bengals will play from behind a lot and that favors Bernard. When Bernard gets healthy Hill's value in this ugly offense going forward is going to be very low. Going into this week though you probably could have got something pretty good for Hill. After this week, if Bernard returns Hill may become waiver wire fodder again in the near future.

You know, I just don't buy that sowing confusion among your players in the name of "competition" is a good idea. If Crowell is better, start Crowell and give him a 70/30 split. If Tate is better, likewise. If it's West, go with West.

Good teams always seem to have well-defined roles. Muddle is just muddle, and no one performs at their best in the middle of muddle.

 

[amnesiac]

no fumble.

 

[ATB]

Lol, 3rd and 5 and you just blatantly wrap up a receiver? This is a HS team right now.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Nope. He's down.

 

[jurb26]

Looks down. Unless of course laying on your back isn't down anymore.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Anyone notice these refs suck?

 

[Donnybrook]

I am guessing he was down.

 

[Soulfly3]

Crowell looked down, but JESUS SON, hold onto the damn ball!!!

 

[Widbil83]

Everything about this game stinks.

 

[Premier]

Man they cut to these commercials fast now. That play was barely even over.

 

[BigJohn]

Not a fumble.

 

[lod01]

no fumble but c'mon Crowell don't swing the ball around like that.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Crow Crow not making a good impression.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I know this is the wrong thread but holy #### does it suck to have Dalton, Green, Sabu, and Hill going tonight in multiple leagues.

Wow that sucks that you already lost before the weekend even started.

 

[ffldrew]

Mike Carey says it's a fumble

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Triplette called the TD good before the fumble

 

[ATB]

Yeah clearly no fumble.

Good teams always seem to have well-defined roles. Muddle is just muddle, and no one performs at their best in the middle of muddle.

When you have two starting quarterbacks, you have none.

 

[RUSF18]

A lot of daylight, and not only do you get corralled from behind, but you're loosely holding on to the ball. It'll get overturned but those are the types of plays that stick in coaches' minds.

 

[amnesiac]

"Easy to miss".

wtf

 

[gradin123]

Crow time now.

Crowell back to the bench for rest of game.

Exactly. Human beings like to understand the environment they're working in. ####### with people's heads is just bad management.

 

[ATB]

This game is high-####ing-larious.

 

[amnesiac]

yup

 

[jurb26]

"Easy to miss".

wtf

It's a curved scale and he's considering the refs in action tonight.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

How the hell is that "easy to miss" Carey? He rolled all the way over on his back.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

"Easy to miss".

wtf

Tripplette makes them all look easy to miss

SUPERSTAR GARY BARNIDGE!

 

[SameSongNDance]

Is that Barnkowksi?

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Hoyer looking way better than the Ginger.

 

[humpback]

I'm calling it now. Cincy wins this game.

Wat?

 

[belljr]

Cameron going to lose his spot

 

[Hoosier16]

I wish Hoyer played for the Bengals.

 

[Clorox]

Here comes another Tate TD

 

[Clorox]

Mike Carey always was awful. Can't believe he landed this gig.

 

[fred_1_15301]

That tight end looked like Cameron and no it's not just because he's white.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Dalton's 96 million dollar contract looks justified tonight.
