DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2021 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 14 Vikings 7 Other Games

First time this year I will have seen Cinci or Jax ... looking forward to see Burrows. Hope he stays upright and has time. I know some posters at one time were claiming the Browns had (one of) the best WR core in the NFL - I think Cinci's WR's are 100% legit and love all 3 of their top 3 of Higgins, Boyd and Chase.

Cmon Jags we need a miracle

Can't see that happening !! LOL. I think Burrows is very special. As accurate as Baker.

Bengals run defense is still bad.

Jacksonville is making the Bengals look bad so far. 14-0 Jags.

Jags looked good there … Bengals need to get mixon going

21-21 barn burner of a game...6:30 left in the game.

Dang it jags....

Urban Meyer wants to quit so bad.

Burrow and the boys turned it on in the 2nd half. Jags went into a shell.

For all the talk of the bad Bengals OL, it didnt affect them much the 2nd half

Bengals blasted! If the Bengals have success, and Pittsburgh actually siginificanly sucks!
These blasted crap team with crap run defense, is going to knock the Browns right out of the playoffs, even if the Browns sweep the Bengals!

The system is broken! the whole nfl is a (marianas trench?)

I'm thinking of things I'm "allowed" to say.

The Browns defense potentially is MUCH WORse than last year, and that would equal no playoffs.
Oh well.

Jags are a complete disaster. Their losing streak is longer than our recent one I believe.

Being "allowed" to say something doesn't mean you "should" say it.

And they probably played their best half of the streak last night

Urban Meyer isn't cut out for NFL, I'd be really surprised he lasts this year

Doug Marrone won 12 games over his final 3 seasons in Jacksonville. He lasted out his final season when the team won 1 game. I think Khan knows how bad the team was/is, and that it takes time to get the train back on the tracks.

I do wonder why he went into the NFL. I suppose $$$ is always a good answer.

That being said, his offensive philosophy is very unique to college and his biggest strength was always recruiting - again a college-unique aspect. I never thought he was cut for the NFL.

It could be that it's going to take time to turn things around down there, but I just don't see it with him. Blowing that 14-0 lead (should have been 21-0) was just a back-breaker.

"Should have been 21-0" was really "should have been 17-0" in my book. I'm all about risk / reward analytics and the new culture in the NFL, but that was a no-brainer to me.

Going into the locker room up three scores was the perfect way to end a great half of football... on the road, a team that desperately needs a win. Maybe it's just me, but I was screaming at the TV.

Disagree, FATE. If the ball is at the 2, ok. But INSIDE the 1? With a 6'-6" QB, that should've been a sneak. Don't give any ground to gain ground. If the Bengals stop you from falling forward for a foot, so be it.

That's fine, I'm sure most will disagree. The old "well if you can't gain a yard" talk is always the go to, and I get it. Most times I agree.

My reasons are beyond Xs and Os, it's more about the mentality of a team that needs to learn and believe they can win. A FG there feeds the mathematics part of my argument as well as the team mentality. We went out and played a great half and have a three score lead vs the creeping doubt after being stopped... and the momentum pendulum tipping in the other direction going into the half.

To each his own.

I don’t think anyone is thinking Khan will fire Urban Meyer. I think Meyer will quit.

Agree with you, Fate.

Take the points, go up 3 scores on the road at the half. Keep momentum. No brainer. Team lost 18 games in a row or something. Take the points...

I'd have been fine with a FG as well. To me, either go for the field goal, or go right from under center. Those are the only two options. To go with your QB from a shotgun is just plain dumb.

Urban is coaching the Jags like he is still at The Ohio State. Like he has more talent than almost anybody they are playing. Going for the TD on 4th at the half would have been great if they converted and scored but they didn't and that completed changed the game. Now the Bengals are inspired and the Jags are thinking same old same old. tOSU could have dealt with that but Jags can't.

You kick the Fg you pile on and go into the locker room on a positive note while the Bengals are the ones thinking same old same old.

Do I have sympathy for the Jaguars (2016) and(2017,
2015, 2011, 2014, their fans for not getting a 2006!!!
win, (0-4) with a new coach.
... TL- is having flashbacks to just weeks before the start of the 2018 year when he contemplated a 1-31 coach was returning as coach of his favorite team, and has currently lost his senses so massively.
I'll have to go throw a bucket of ice water in his face, *metal part first of course*, to attempt to bring him back on to the insanity scale.

I don't think that is a defendable claim. Even if it were written all over his face or in his body language,

which frankly it wasn't, because,
case in point? He did the hands up touchdown gesture when cincinnati missed it's original field goal on the early drives of the first quarter, suggesting he hasn't given up.
because it's the other team and a miss which are pretty insignificant.

Remember when he quit his two preseason jobs?

Same here. The difference between 21-0 or 17-0 isn’t a huge deal. Three scores is big

Previous. Previous. Not preseason. Previous.

I hate autocorrect.

Now I see what you meant. I don't remember entirely when Urban Meyer quit, I'm guessing Florida and then Ohio State, but did he quit any of them midseason. I'll check.

Urban is such a wild card off the field (see the latest twitter stuff, even though who knows if that was recent)

Lol!

. wrong thread

Russell Wilson just made one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen.

I don't understand how Kyler Murray is able to play QB.

My goodness is Tony Romo awful.

Watching PIT and GB. I no longer know what "tripping" means.
