I'm going to rake some macnut compost around and plant a hundred or so white pineapple starts. My dog needs to chase some chickens around too. The sun is shining The tree is up. The beers are chilling. Bengals winning. Yum yum yum

the announcers don't seem to realize the browns have quit already, lol.

they also have been giving Austin Davis a lot of praise. (apparently scoring isn't important)

in other news, looks like we're going to cruise through this. GG Cayenne Peppa.

Matt: I really like what Davis is doing

As he says this, Davis throws a perfect ball to Reggie Nelson with nary a browns WR in sight.

I don't know which is/was worse: Millan as a GM or an announcer. I feel sorry for the NFC fans that have to listen to this guy all year long. E-gads.

Had them all the way, just like I predicted

Sad thing was, the Bengals looked, at many times, totally uninterested in being at this game. It was like "Do we really have to play this out?" kind of look at times.

I know this team was awful in the 90's, but Cleveland is working on a 15 year stretch of just abysmal ownership, management, and football in general. Even the Raiders have started to rebound.

Can you blame the Bengals for looking disinterested? They were beating another NFL team by 30 points even though they had to play 8 rookies. It's incredible how bad the Browns are right now.

Well, no. Not really. Was just pointing out how sad it must be to know another NFL looked completely uninterested and yet the Browns still couldn't get anything done.

I think if JFF had played it would have been worse, though. Seems like teams will always enjoy throttling him when they can.

Main thing is that the Bengals won and got out of there relatively healthy. I think Shaw was the only one banged up, and hopefully he'll be fine.

On a side note: Atkins could have forced a hold call on every snap. It was ridiculous how badly he was abusing the interior of that line. I can't believe that he didn't get a few calls at all. I guess when the game is going that badly it's hard to get those calls, but the play didn't go unnoticed. He destroyed that line.

Think of all the high draft picks Cleveland has had over the past 5 seasons..... And then think about what you saw on that field yesterday. They are just awful. And now they'll have to start again.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Atkins +7.7 yesterday despite no sacks. 2 hits and 11 hurries, including several plays bull-rushing Alex Mack at Center.

top grades:

DT Geno Atkins (+7.7)
LT Andrew Whitworth (+3.5)
QB Andy Dalton (+3.2)
RB Jeremy Hill (+2.9)
RG Kevin Zeitler (+2.7)
