I woke up this morning in Key West around 5:30 to the Miami news on the tv teasing “NFL player arrested running naked at a Ft. Lauderdale daycare center.” I just assumed it was a Cleveland Brown, as I was still a little groggy. Sure enough…

This is some fun hypothetical "whataboutism", but is there a reasonable way this trade could even work money-wise, without gutting some of the Brown's roster? I thought I heard today on the radio that Rodgers does not have a no trade clause, and Cleveland is a team that has been mentioned to be on his "yes" list. But at what cost? In a vacuum I'd do Baker for Rodgers straight up, in a heartbeat. But Baker, one or two other (probably major) contributors, and a shitload of future draft picks? I'm pretty sure I'd pass. I think the team has a strong foundation for the long term, and I don't want to gut that for an all-in run for 2, maybe 3 seasons... and then a brutal rebuild. I think Rodger's salary would be crippling in the long term for a team to take on that was not built around that salary.

Anyone have any suggestions for us folks who have DirecTV with NBC blacked out? I was going to go down the street to the bar and watch the first half (thank goodness for having vacation left at the end of the year), but not sure how to watch the second half. Does the NBC app stream the Sunday Night game? I ran into this problem with ND - Syracuse (I'm an ND fan), ended up watching the first half in low def with a YouTube free trial, found a HD stream online for second half. I am really trying to avoid actually putting clothes on and going to Best Buy for an antenna. Has anyone called DirecTV bitching to try and get NFL ticket added for free? Am I an idiot and NFL ticket already is free?

So we get taken out of our rhythm, and they get a chance to substitute, because of this bullshit booth review?

Definitely nothing worth complaining about, amiright? Will there be orange slices and Capri Sun after the competition today?

Baker looked like Helen Keller playing QB the entire first half, now he can’t miss. I can’t figure him out, but I personally think it might be just as much of a scheme problem as a Baker Mayfield problem. The Browns seem to be really slow on making offensive adjustments. It seems like they won’t adjust their offensive game plan towards what the defense is giving them until halftime. That isn’t said to excuse a shit first half by Baker, again. I’m more lukecold than lukewarm on him.

It seems like every time Cincy completes a pass, you can find Sendejo trailing the receiver or back by about 3-4 steps.

I really don’t understand why the Browns are so committed to establishing the pass, considering their receiver and te injuries. The Browns are one injury from Case Keenum and Scottish Hammer trying on receiver gloves, and they are chucking it downfield on first down.

Hunt is perfectly capable of logging “feature back” rush attempts in the second half. Browns need to commit to the run in the second half. Get the ball out of Baker’s hands and stop putting him in third and long situations. He’s clearly not going to stare down this vaunted Bengals defense and perform at an even mediocre NFL quarterback level. The rookie across the field looks much more seasoned and polished than Baker.

I hope Baker is hurt, because if he isn’t it’s back to the drawing board at qb

It's a collaborative shitshow

That TD is on OBJ

Ravens should have spiked the ball there and saved the timeout. Hope it bites them

They're gonna score again

Man, do I wish my dad had picked a different team to root for
