    Being from Folsom, California (where Browning set the all-time US high school passing TD record, in three years of play), I'm just happy that he is finally playing in the NFL at age 27. He's always been an accurate passer who can scramble if necessary, and (in my opinion) his weaknesses are a weak arm (for long passes) and looking at the receiver (which tips off the defense). The latter can be fixed. Give him some protection, and good things can happen. But even if he crashes and burns, I'm just glad he's finally getting some playing time. Update 12/17/23: I'm even happier that he's been doing great and is finally being talked about by the national media.

    I mean their rough start to the season didn’t help nothing and the injuries are just the extra nails in the coffin. What a shame too……….i was hoping they’d play the chiefs again in the playoffs in another competitive game. Also joe had a brace on before the game and the bengals never reported it the nfl is now investigating them too and who knows what punishment they’ll dish out if they’re found hiding joes injury and not reporting it.

    Rams found out you need a backup. Will Levis looked like old Aaron Rodgers but now he's Kelly Holcomb or any of the 40 QB's the Browns went through. Apparently the key is having a smart backup. Fitzpatrick was one. Dobbs is too. Sam Howell might not be the answer but at least he's fun. But if you have a backup that can play more than adequate in the NFL, then why isn't he already starting? That's the issue.

    I think they should look into changing thursday night games to Friday nights or Saturday after a certain point of the season. Asking players to be ready after week 10 in 2-3 days after another game is crazy with injuries. And to put the Cherry on top how about a crazy physical divisional matchup after 3 days. I don’t think half the injuries that happened last night would’ve happened with proper prep time.

    It'll never happen. Friday night and Saturday night are sacred because of college football and high school football. The NFL has a long-standing tradition of not playing those days until those respective seasons are over. There should be no Thursday games, period. It's a bad product and not responsible to put the players back out there so soon.

    I mean, I can understand RC's point. And to be fair, he has better insight into the decision making of playing hurt. I would imagine it would ultimately depend on the type of injury we are talking about. Of course, the player is probably going to say they can go. But I would hope some foresight and consideration is given to whether it's smart and maybe you can rest him until hes healthy enough.

Not only did we lose , HOW WE LOST. No Backup QB, limited Running Game options. These two issues are why we're in this situation. The AFC North Divison has no domed stadiums. The weather in all these stadiums they have horrible weather for PASS HAPPY TEAMS. This is where a Running Game comes into play, come November, December and January. We need Belicheck as our GM.
