Other than a wacky pick six, the backup QB Bengals are toasting a 7-5 team.

Ramming their heads against the wall eventually worked.

Dominating with screens. That’s new.

Browning 2 Brown

I'm feeling surprisingly who dey this evening. It's like tomorrow's game actually kinda sorta halfway matters? How about that.

American citizens have the right to obtain nuclear weapons and use them in self-defense in the event of an authoritarian takeover.

I wonder what kinds of interesting "trade Jake Browning" conversations are coming soon.

Yes. Crack rocks.

We deserve worse for collectively assuring our Jags fan visitor this week that he had nothing to worry about. Oops.

How about that shit? If Browning plays like that, this team is still in the playoff race. That's a huge if, but it feels good to have a season still.

I was excited to give McPherson a chance from 65 or so. Alas.

Really unfortunate clock management to close regulation. I loved the timeout, but you have to play the sideline.

I legitimately want to win. I don't care about the draft pick. Sustain the team's winning culture even without its most important player. That's a valuable thing to do.

Fuck. I hope Lawrence is alright.

Gus Frerotte left-handed pass on primetime level stuff. Yikes.

Remember that bit I said whenever about "if Browning sucks I don't want to see him as the backup next season"? Well, there's another side to that. Whew.

Browning to Chase is the greatest Bengals connection I have seen since Burrow to Chase.

Browning looks... great?

He was barely okay last week. I will expect to lose every game though. The Bengals might take one somewhere, but I'm not holding my breath. Your Jaguars should be in good shape.

I can think of a decent prospective backup QB.

I am in full snore mode. I watched the game with zero emotion Sunday. I can't believe this wasn't flexed out of MNF. Hopefully the rookies continue to grow. For the second wave Burrow Bengals starting in 2024 to maintain the standard of the first, they absolutely have to work out. Murphy and Turner especially can't miss a beat.

Jake Browning looks good.

Sure, by all means, suck every ounce of ass there is left to suck! I just mean that if he does suck, I don't want to see him backing up Joe Burrow next season. That'd be old-style Bengals complacency.

Okay

This ought to be a good demonstration to the Bengals of the effectiveness of their backup QB strategy. If Browning stinks it up out there, they had better not go into 2024 saying "stay the course" on that front.
