Week 4: The Battle of Ohio, Browns vs. Bengals, 1pm, 10/01/17

[Chris]

I think what bothers me the most is just how hopeless we are.

I tried being optimistic coming in. I just can't anymore. There is no hope. And we are powerless to do anything. Almost two decades of this shit. And it's just getting worse. Like what do you do?

 

[Ohio]

Like what do you do?

Move the team.

 

[red.]

Who was Kizer throwing to?

Reminder; Birdy89 thought:
Kevin Love was bad
Corey Kluber was a flash in the pan
Hue Jackson was a great hire.

The only thing I can point to and go "look. right there. there's football LeBron" is a guy who's currently nursing a fucked up ankle.

that's it.

And...Yes. You draft a guy 1st overall and with his intangibles my expectations are of him being a Terrell Suggs/JJ Watt/Von Miller "disrupter" that can win you so damn ball games.

But as it stands now...you are a 1-15 team that has no clear visible improvement or impact players on either side of the ball. Because...again, until he suits up...fucking Garrett is just talk. He's like Josh Gordon in that regard. A guy we think can help us win but only exists in theory.

The lack of playmakers on offense has become insurmountable, the defense is missing some of their game changer and it shows.

That said, I had the Jets as their first realistically winnable game in the preseason.

Me too. But at this point? The Jets will smash us.

Guys, the Bengals are absolute garbage. Garbage.

And they are beating us 31-0 in our stadium.

There are no excuses. This team fucking sucks. These players fucking suck. This regime fucking sucks.

The only person worth defending is Kizer because...I struggle to see any QB succeed with this team.

and I'm being serious.

Did Kizer just lose his starting job to Hogan?

 

[Triple-S]

Did Kizer just lose his starting job to Hogan?

I'd sit him down at this point.

Not because he's bad but because it's not worth destroying his confidence.

 

[Kevalier]

So glad that I decided not to waste an ounce of emotional investment into this franchise for the foreseeable future, although a lot of it is due to souring on football in general because of the CTE epidemic. Anyways, I miss the good old days on here when skeptical Browns fans were shamed into believing that every decision made by Heckert, Banner, Farmer, etc. would produce magical results.

He is bad.

Can't read a defense to save his life.

Seeing the offense with Hogan under center is proving this.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Something to build on for next week.


Well, Missed FG by Zane. Drop to INT by Britt, and a boneheaded 61 yard TD on a screen.

Take those away and it's 24-17 and a one score game. So not as bad as it looks. Need some help from the WRs.

Dalton was dog shit the first two games. They were on the road in Baltimore and Houston, and especially that Thursday game it seemed like they threw in the towel early.

Dalton last 2 games: 46 of 57 (80.7), 498 yards, 6 TD, 0 INT.
