Bengals @ Browns Game Thread

We suck! They suck! Who sucks more? Tune in Thursday night for the answer!

Last year the Bengals narrowly lost week 1 and then got absolutely destroyed week 2.

Let's not do that again.

Great news everybody!

 

[Stripes]

It would be nice to get a break from the adventures of Bobby Hart. Unfortunately we're going from Joey Bosa to Myles Garrett.

I'm surprised Browns are that big a favorite.   Makes me worry.

The Browns placed tight end David Njoku on injured reserve for at least the next three games with the injury suffered during Sunday’s 38-6 loss to the Ravens.

Njoku was one of the lone offensive bright spots of the game, catching a 1-yard touchdown pass and another big 28-yarder over the middle. Overall, he caught all three of his targets for 50 yards. With Njoku out, fourth-round pick Harrison Bryant will serve as the second tight end behind Austin Hooper.

Can't afford to lose Mike Daniels if Geno is still out.

He was was DNP and limited before Sunday's game, so hoping this is simply rest for him. Really, he doesn't need to put on pads again until Thursday night.

Glad to see his right, err, left calf has "healed" so quickly. 

[HoosierCat]

Oh for fuks sake. Hey Zac when I suggested replacing Bullock I meant with someone BETTER!

 

[membengal]

With covid protocols their options on a short week are limited.

Not much you can do on short week and COVID protocols.   Need somebody that’s been tested etc. 

[HoosierCat]

Lol. Shots fired.

Wish Marvin hadn’t cut our good rookie to hand Randy the job.  Wasted a draft pick And has cost us a few games.  Marvin sucked those last few years.

[AMPHAR]

Apparently the Browns MUST win this or their season is done according to many in the media.   However, it doesn't matter for the Bengals at all.

 

[HoosierCat]

All things considered I don’t think many people (media or fans) expected the Bengals to be a postseason threat this year. On the other hand, Cleveland was virtually crowned Super Bowl champ before last season (lol) and are still widely viewed as some kind of underachiever. So yeah, I can see how it’s a must win for them in the eyes of the media. They’re supposed to be good, darn it! The Bengals, not so much.

Mike’s staying home. It will be the first game he hasn’t attended since his father died.

So pumped for this game.  Get pumped!
