Stripes

Reminds me of the 2006 game when the Chuck Bresnehan defense allowed 500 yards passing to Drew Brees but only 16 points.

Bad defensive coordinator. Bad defensive players. Bad defense.

I haven’t seen a thing from Mr. 1.5 Collegiate Sacks.

Can’t wait for more Ossai playing nickle corner

I am deeply unimpressed with Al Golden.

Joe Flacco. A dragon. A god.

Really dumb defensive playcall.

Gorgeous.

They went for it on their own 30, but not on our 30. okay

Cleveland also up on NE, which is probably good for us.

I think Aaron Glenn’s process was smart to go for it. I also love the way it turned out.

Catch it, Hudson. Oh well. Decent start.

I feel weird about this game. Hopefully it’s just gas.

The Ravens are also being investigated by the league after changing Lamar's practice status from full to limited yesterday. Oops.

Lamar is officially OUT for Chicago. Go Bears.

I don't think I have ever cared less about a trade request. That's not even a comment on Logan's ability. I think when he's on his game, he can be effective. Rather, I don't think the Bengals are going to do that. I also don't think Logan is the type to be a drama queen in the middle of a football season. He'll still play his ass off when he's on the field. So it won't make a single difference.

You could be right. Keeping expectations minimal is definitely the smarter play with this franchise.

Beat the 0-7 Jets. Hopefully the Steelers lose to the Packers. They’d be half a game out of the division lead. We’ll see if Flacco continues to cook. If he sustains strong play, I don’t see why the Bengals can’t remain in the race.

One more Ravens loss would probably be the fork. Stay out, Jackson.

Talking heads typically deal with the entire league, and that means they know jack shit about the nuances of any individual team. That's better than it used to be in the podcast space, but on television they're all worthless.

I think the best explanation is that the OL has improved a little with more time to gel. Newcomers (i.e., Fairchild, Rivers, and especially Risner) needed some reps. Cohesion is extremely important up front. Hopefully they continue to trend up.

That's just the thing. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are saying the same thing about their own defenses.

Also, forgive my hyperbole, but I think this is just the truth: Ja'Marr Chase is one of the most talented wide receivers in NFL history.

Since we can’t be too positive, however: 0-6 Jets screams trap game

As much as Browns fans hate us. And as much as we hate them. I think we both hate Pittsburgh more. Neener neener
