The Official Browns at Bengals Game Thread Dec 22nd

[Dutch Oven]

The Bataan Death March of Browns seasons slogs on down on the banks of the mighty Ohio River in the land of overrated chili.

[Dutch Oven]

Notre Dame cruised by Indiana in Friday night's college football playoff at South Bend, and Penn State had a helluva first half and are leading SMU 28-0 starting the third quarter. SMU is inside Penn State's 10 yard line though. 

If Ohio State loses tonight, this better be Ryan Day's last game as head coach. Then again, we slogged through 13 years of John Cooper, so....

No Cedric Tillman again.  He must have one helluva concussion.

All I know is since @Horse Balls started posting again - we got a better chance of seeing Ghoolie on a milk carton as a missing person than posting as the potty mouthed Lancelot for the radical right.  

Ohio State needs to finish the job tonight!!!!  Then we'll talk about Day...

Ryan Day is the turd that won't flush. 🤣

Hats off to him, the coaching staff and the players though, that's a helluva way to respond to one of the most idiotic losses I've ever seen.

VERY satisfying win! 

During the pre-game show leading up to Ohio State-Michigan the current HC of that dump said they prepare for Ohio State in every single practice (they probably do 1 situation of vulnerability found on film by 1 or their GAs and exploit it before they work on their opponent for that week).  That may sound corny but it sure makes the final week of preparation a lot less stressful than Ryan Day finds it every year.  

Yesterday looked like they practiced a lot of situational football leading up to the game and it earned Ryan another DAY on the sideline ahead vrs Oregon.  Let's hope the accomplishment of yesterday doesn't have them all so satisfied that they forget what it takes to earn the victory via the preparation.

Anyone that wants the job at Ohio State HAS to be great at preparation.  If Michigan is only a 1 week investment - we have the wrong Coach....

The crazy thing is all I heard this week in the lead up to the Ohio State/Tennessee game is that the DLine was the Vols strength and how would OSU's banged up OLine deal with them, but their secondary was a little shaky and could be exploited.

JUST. LIKE. THAT. TEAM. UP. NORTH.

This time Ohio State attacked the opposing team's weakness and went tempo, and the Vols DLine was standing between plays sucking air with their hands on their hips. I'm thrilled by the job the coaching staff did last night and in the lead up to the game, but it almost makes me more irritated about how incredibly stupid they were the Saturday after Thanksgiving against a far inferior team.

I was worried about how the o line would hold up too. 

3 huge differences I saw this game:

1.  OSU didn't try to run the ball up the middle (the strength of ichigan) the whole damn game

2.  Kelly got the ball to the play makers right out the gates

3. Howard played a fantastic game. 

They looked like a totally different team

The sweet ass white unis that I wish were our permanent road unis? 🤣

[Dutch Oven]

For Fuck's Sake, we fumbled within inches of the goal line. 

Awesome. 

[Bob806]

Foreman. Why.

Like I almost forgot he was on the team because he's missed so much time this season.

[Browns149]

Dumbest team in the league

[Dutch Oven]

Smart by the Bengals...

Even if you false start, it doesn't hurt you. 

But since we got stupid and did, now they are off the 1 yard line. 

[Browns149]

Looks like the defense has already started the offseason 

[Browns149]

What a joke. How all the coaches keep their jobs is beyond me

Same here.  I wanted to watch a bit of DTR.   Same old Browns.

[Bob806]

Burrow was down. How in the hell did they allow that to be a TD?

He’s probably the only player that has a reason to play. The rest have quit

[USFBrown]

At least we won't mess up our position in the draft.  However I bet we mess up the pick itself.

[USFBrown]

It's a comedy at this point event the announcers laughing at us

[Browns149]

Our boy York living up to his 4th rd draft status 

[Dutch Oven]

Well that's the Cade York we all knew and didn't care for.

With DTR is literally feels like there's no way we are passing for more than 125 yards, tops. 

Nice kid, but the Browns need to drop this RPO and go back to Stefanski's offense. He's a bad fit for that.

He looks scared and skittish. Kinda like Colt McCoy

[USFBrown]

Never thought I'd be jealous of the Carolina Panthers...

[Canton Dawg]

I love how these announcers are proclaiming how good the Bengals defense is.

The truth is, the Browns offense is inept.

The Bungholes defense isn’t the ‘85 Bears FFS they’re ranked 29th in the league.
