Browns vs Ravens being broadcast in central Ohio. Without Lamar the Ravens are approximately 50% as interesting to watch. I’m stop watching though as we obviously want the Browns to win this game. No Myles on the Browns side means the most entertaining, and probably best, players on both sides are not out there.

Stroud going off. He looks like he’s fully back, glad we got these guys early in the year.

Stroud getting it going over in London. Off topic but Louis Riddick is the color guy calling this game and he’s really good. He could easily replace one of the tired out top level color guys (Collinsworth, Aikman).

Damn, Texans defense over in London! They look good, just picked of Trevor Lawrence in the end zone. 1-4 Texans rise up!

I don’t know how into the buckeyes you guys are. But Ryan Day did not have a backup qb ready to play today and it almost cost us that lucky win at Indiana. Sayin truthfully looked horrible all day. He got thrown on his shoulder and we had to put in an unprepared true freshman. This kid was in complete panic mode and couldn’t run the offense. Horrible job by Ryan Day and he should send our OC, Arthur Smith, back to the Steelers where he came from (he sucked there too).

Stop quoting my ex-wife.

Volcom is right, they ran the ball better as the season wore on last year. In fact this team seems to do everything better later in the year, year after year. Unfortunately, Burrow’s pretty good at visiting IR the longer the year goes on. I shit talk Zac Taylor to strangers at the grocery store, but if we’re honest about it he does seem capable of fixing stuff in season. Unfortunately he’s a champion a creating stuff that needs fixing.

Ok I read that blurb. 2 points: 1. It is charitable of Pitcher to say the scheme fits Perine better than Brown. Brown does not currently have the burst he had last year, that’s obvious. His first step used to be amazing, dude was at full speed so fast that he’d blast through a little space and get five yards when there didn’t look like there was anything there. This year his runs look quite pedestrian, seems way easier to tackle. 2. Here is a little quote from that Pitcher blurb: “The Bengals spent a lot of time this offseason working on an under center run game to get Brown more explosives, “ Attention NFL Blabbing Industry: you do not have the authority to make “explosives” a noun in the manner in which you are misusing it. Explosive plays are not “explosives.” I am 64 years old and the English language cannot change or evolve from here on out. In fact, nothing can change from here on out, this world and everything in it must immediately freeze in place so I can spend the next 20 years falling asleep on my couch, secure in the familiarity and sameness that a static, unchanging, world provides. Then, if I’m startled awake (after drooling on said couch in my sleep) by a political ad that assures me the local farmer we sent to the House of Representatives will not only freeze everything in place, he’ll somehow transport us back to 1955 and stop all these public schools from sex changing everyone’s kids, I can drift off back to sleep, knowing full well that the nfl media ecosystem does not have the power to make up new words. As I slide under sleep’s dark and silent gate, I see a collie running across a field of wildflowers. Look, his family (nuclear, white) threw a stick for him! Ahhhhhh….

Zac should be the manager of the Home & Garden section at a Lowe’s somewhere. He should point out the correct aisle when people come in looking for glue traps to deal with a mouse problem in their attic.

Boye Mafe has been a good to great signing. Trey Hendrickson has that one sack, and he missed the last two games with an injury. Is there any truth to the rumor that after recording that one sack , Hendrickson ran off the field, got on the phone with Ravens’ management, and demanded an extension? It’s hard to say. It’s just what I’ve heard (voices in my head). But let’s face it, he and his wife can’t even start a family when he’s playing on his current 4 year, 112 million dollar contract. You can barely even praise Jesus enough when that’s all you’re making. And when you discover that only 60 million is guaranteed, well, a guy can barely even avoid going on Pat McAfee’s show every week to explain how central the lord is to everything you do, and that 100 million should be guaranteed immediately plus another signing bonus paid out so you and your wife can start a family.

Golden must see something no one else sees. 4th rounder, then gets cut. Ok we’ll give him a chance, could be tailor made for a Golden-designed defense.

Re the broadcast: Mark Schlereth waxed poetic about the Bengals. Seemed like a huge fan.

We beat the lowly dolphins but I’m not sure how many teams we get past playing like that.

Nice defense at the end here.

lol. Chase just continues to amaze me.

Great play by Barrett Carter. Starting and stopping, contains, then tackles!

Cook could tackle when he got here.

I don’t know who the d coordinator is for the dolphins but their DBs hit harder than any team I can recall in recent memory. Two of the have already hurt themselves doing it, but it’s impressive.

Perine getting it done. Dude’s a player.

Perine actually looks better than Chase Brown. I have to believe Brown is not fully healthy.

Allan pushed the pocket back as well as getting the tip. Big play for him.

Ok our defense got a look at them on that first series, they should definitely stiffen up here.

Lack of discipline hurting this team.

This game is one penalty after another.

I guess that’s a touchdown. Pretty weak.
