[TJJackson]

If Burrow comes back in, they need to go max protect and see what he can do

an extra TE on Garrett, please - chip and then roll out

This must, officially, be the worst game of Burrows career?

The rest of this game is now his preseason 

Either this or week 1 last year.

consider the implication 

[volcom69]

Sucks every year it’s the same thing on opening day. 

[TJJackson]

if they are just gonna hand off, get Burrow out of there

Maybe but he found a rythem in the second half and should have won that game last season. 

[TJJackson]

ridiculous.  no fight at all.

[TJJackson]

at least they got Burrow out of there

[volcom69]

They should have found a way to get the running game going and they had a little spark with it but then gave up. 

[TJJackson]

Has any player played well? 

The D overall has to be credited for doing decently after being put into bad situations over and over again and playing excessive snaps

 

[glasgowbengal]

Nick Scott is bad on the evidence of today

Very encouraged by CTB and the pass rush

[COB]

Pratt played well.

[volcom69]

Still just find it crazy how Burrow just signed a deal making him the highest paid player, and he is sitting down 21 points on opening day, who would have thought, not me

[AMPHAR]

Preseason game 1.    They just don't grind in camp and it shows early on.   The problem is now you are looking at a possible 0-2 division start again.  

No surprise the unit that played in the preseason looked competent.    No excuse not to have the starting line at least get a series or two during preseason.   They can't get any push what so ever and the timing in the run game is just off.   Then the coaching staff should have expect passing game struggles with Burrow not practicing all summer.

This is also a problem and reasons they can never get Home field or a bye come playoffs.

Its every year and it’s annoying

I would guess that's a Zac decision. 

[Stripes]

Egg thoroughly laid. Oh well.

They’ve overcome it before and probably will again.

Annoying as shit watching Cleveland Browns players and fans celebrating.   Not even competitive.

I’m sure it was, but so excited for the season was not expecting to see him sitting in the 4th down 21, just sucks

[COB]

Abysmal.  

[HoosierCat]

Stick this one in the bin, get back to work Monday, got Baltimore coming to town.

[Stripes]

Ravens suffered multiple injuries today. Because of course.

Yea I don’t really have an issue pulling him, just something I was not expecting to see today. Oh well onto the next game, hopefully we see a much better performance, so tired of starting off slow every year.

I watched without much care to the loss. Neither the offense or defense looked good and they lost. Not even upset by the outcome.
