A primetime BLOWOUT win against the Bengals … that feels good. We all deserve a win like this (they don’t happen often)

Great Halloween celebration for all.

Good job Brissett and Chubb and the OL … and Cooper/DPJ proved to be a good combo

And to think they should be 6-2 or 5-3 right now.......

I wish we showed this much fire in the other 5 losses.

Hard to fault anything this game. All the people that needed to step up did and gives a small glimpse of what we are capable of if we can find a way to stay consistent

Utterly amazed at the result. I was expecting a blow out - just, not in our favor. Congrats team!

Complete victory for the first time this year. Exploited their weaknesses, took away their strengths. Played for four quarters besides the ensuing checkers match when the game was out of reach. Beat up Burrows, treated them like the red-headed step-brothers that they are.

That was fun.

I loved this game! As leadtheway said on a different thread, "Too bad we can’t play cinci every game." I'm so happy I took off work at the last minute to watch it. I knew it was a gamble but sometimes gambling pays off. Happy boy!!!

I wasn't even going to watch but I was bored. I thought we had zero chance of winning this game. Cinci has been hitting on all cylinders the last few games. So color me pleasantly surprised and happy with the whole team for this win. I could nitpick but that's for the other days this week. Tonight they're all winners.

Awesome win! Everybody did their job. No complaints. It was a fun game to watch and for once I didnt feel stressed out. Extra happy for the team to get a big win against a division rival on MNF!

- Great game by Takitaki. Need to agree to a new contract with him.

- Garrett was wreaking havoc.

- Game balls to the entire defense and the always controversial Joe Woods.

- Happy for Brissett. Good guy award.

- DPJ having a quietly good season.

- This team did not want to get embarrassed in primetime.

- Chubb had over 20 carries and Hunt double digit carries. Browns win.

- Cooper with a big game.

- Browns very likely do not make the playoffs, but this was a much needed win heading in the bye for not only the psyche of the team, but the city of Cleveland.

- Nice win to celebrate Joe Haden's retirement. Donovan Mitchell also in attendance.

- To quote Ken Carman.....Suuuuuupppeerrrrrr Booowwwllllll....Suuuuuppppeerrrrr Brooooowwwwwwwnnsss!

We own these cats right now.

My brother (Bengals fan) finally started wanting to bet on games once they started playing well with Burrow...

Last year:

"Five bucks?"
"Sure"

"Double or nothing?"
"I don't see why not?!"

Tonight:

"Double down on $20??"
"Well, we didn't have a snowball's chance 'til you opened your mouth... Sure!"

After the game I texted him...

"We can stop the doubling-down 'til the kids get out of college if you want."

Good win and it feels great!! Hope we can carry this momentum after the bye.

Pretty sure future HOF QB, Joe Burrow is now 0-4 against the lowly Browns. Great blowout win. Man, those early blown games look really huge.

Leave the 529 Plan alone. Take the 401k!

Side note....Disney and Myles Garrett had to give out a couple million in free advertising for Stranger Things.

Turnovers helped us, our pass rush got after it. MG was all over it tonight, even the middle of the DL was getting some wins. Nicely-timed blitzes, too. Our secondary looked tough tonight, didn’t give them room.

Chubb was the usual Nick, Cooper had some big plays, although he should have thrown it OB on the gadget play. That is a play call KS should get rid of. Dumb.
Bell showed up again with a couple of big catches, I like him.

We didn’t gave any dumb penalties, no major foul ups, nice to break the slide with a victory to go into the bye week.

Oh those tricky Bengals!

Looking ahead:

Dolphins are totally beatable. I fear Tua might torch the secondary. But dude has a tendency to try and make hero plays when he should be wiser with the ball. If pressure can be put on him. They could make his life miserable.

Bills. The Bills disappointed in a win against the Packers. I also think that Josh Allen can torch the secondary if. Josh is far wiser with the ball

Buccaneers are imploding. I doubt they figure it out in the next 4 weeks.

So they could be 5 and 6 going into the Texans game.

Every other game on the schedule is absolutely winnable.

11 and 6?

Didn't care for Hunt's response about being traded


Seems like the end is near.

j/c...

Hudson looked faster than our TEs lol

Well.... that was weird and entirely unexpected.

I love rewatching the next morning when we win a primetime game (NFLN always re-airs it from 3-6AM)

Emerson played a very good game. His physicality lends itself very well to playing Cincy’s big WRs.

When we bring in extra OL it’s like football porn haha …. Fun to watch

DPJ is a quiet, steady force for our O … he’s integral in both the run and pass games

We do miss Njoku though. Bryant doesn’t nearly offer the versatility.

Taki is a quest, steady force for our D … a glue guy.

I like it. Fullbacks Schmullbacks. If blocking is what you want, just play a reserve O-lineman in the position.

A complete game. We look like a team that can play with just about any other team, while also able to lose to just about any other team.

- Brissett with a really nice game. Was glad to see they changed that turnover from an int to a fumble. No way was he throwing the ball when it came out.
- Cooper and DPJ had really nice games as well. And Bell catches the ball.
- While I imagine Bryant's snap count was higher with Njoku out, he certainly was not part of the game plan. When they needed blocking it was extra OL that came in, which was smart. Bryant is still completely ineffective as a blocker. I do not remember any targets for him, though I could be wrong.
- Speaking of the extra OL, I loved it. On the 2-point conversion, when Hudson came in motion he absolutely totaled that LB on the block. A thing of beauty.
- Our OL dominated, even without Teller.
- I would be ok with Cooper not trying another pass. The danger with that type of play, with a guy who hardly ever throws the ball, he has it stuck in his head that he *has* to throw it. Throwing it away does not come across as an option.
- The D came up big, even w the injuries. The pressure on Burrow was great to see. He looked average. They managed two garbage-time TDs. Too little, too late.
- Their kicker really came down to earth last night. He was all the rage last year. Last night, missed FG, missed XP. The one kick he did make was just barely.
- Nice streak continues, we are 5-0 against Cincy since they drafted Burrow. Not blaming him, but I like the stat. Division wins always sweet.
- Not only broke the losing streak, but Cincy had not been shut out in the 1st half yet this season. And had not given up a 2nd half TD yet this season, until we had 3.

Happy victory Tuesday! Who dey? The Cleveland Browns, that's who.

A couple rookies rose to the occasion! Nice to see

The aggravating this is that was the team we KNOW we can be when we play motivated and execute.

And for some reason we’ve really just had the Bengals number

Who dey?

We Dey!

I gotta go find some Cincitucky fans who have been outspoken down here. So much to share . . .

It feels great this morning. If we played this way all the time, we can beat just about anyone. It would have been a long 2 weeks if we had lost.

We play such a different brand of football (when things are clicking) than other teams … I think that lends itself well to having an advantage IF/WHEN we are at our peak. The ability to run the ball so well, control the clock and keep a team off balance is a great way to beat someone

what a great W!!!! the energy was crazy last night, our team stepped up in all 3 phases of the game!!

Chubb was chubb, hunt was doing everything, JB was making great reads, and Cooper/DPJ went OFF.

and our defense!!! guys our defense actually showed up!! our injury list looked liked an ICU after a nuclear bomb went off, and we STILL dominated!! hell yea

j/c:

Well I didn't see this coming. Not necessarily the Browns winning but completely dominating the game.

- This might be anecdotal, but I feel like this might have been he first game this season where we blitzed with some regularity. I think Woods has been relying on the defensive front to single-handedly apply pressure but it came from all directions last night.
- Takitaki might have had his best game as a Brown. What was the reason for JOK being out? Injury?
- Loved watching the playcalling last night, sans the Cooper pass. The play call with Hudson in motion was brilliant, I thought. Man, he can run.
- DPJ was clutch all game long. Cooper looked like a #1
- Emerson continues to improve with each game. Greedy is done here....but that TD on him should have been OPI. The broadcast team also showed him on the bench a couple of times. I didn't understand why. Jason Lloyd also tweet a picture of Williams on the bench....not sure the reason unless it was referring to all the trade deadline rumors.
- Gotta love Brisset's professionalism and approach. I would not be opposed to keeping him moving forward as the backup. Seems smart, competitive, capable, and a team player. That said, I feel like he takes quite awhile to process his reads. He was a tenth of a second away many times from being sacked or worse. Good dude....just limited.

Hopefully this bye week and subsequent rest can allow Teller, Njoku, and Ward to come back and get Conklin some time off to heal up.

I think there’s no doubt that Brissett will be the backup here (how long is he signed, I cant remember)

Nice to see a game where all phases were on point.

I can't lie and say I didn't fear a collapse when Cinci drove down for that touchdown late in the 3rd.

Am I the only one, when Greedy was coming of the field after that TD to think "What is Chris Rock doing on the sideline?"

I agree ... I though that there was some talk of an extension before the regular season.

My man gets a bad rapp ... but when you need a real LB who can shed and tackle, and set an edge.
Then he is the best we have at that imo.

.

Deion Jones looked pretty good too. Might be a nice pick-up by AB. I have to add today feels like a holiday after that win. Don't get to celebrate too many LOL!!

He signed a 1 year deal the day after we signed Watson. I think it was viewed as a clear win-win and for him to showcase his talent in hopes of a starting gig going forward.

He is signed for this year. My feeling he is a one and done. He has played well enough that somebody is going to give him a starting shot, somethings we won't.

Dobbs and Mond will be the back-ups...
