I am a big Gio fan but I don't even think he's better than Mixon. That's crazy talk. Yeah, but you see teams around the league use two backs more efficiently that we do (New Orleans is the first that comes to mind). Gio is still one of our best playmakers and can't hardly get on the field. A lot of that is due to the offense not being able to sustain drives, but Lazor needs to do better managing that.

Also, as was pointed out in the game thread, they lined up and ran a bunch from the I, with Hewitt actually paving the way for him. A lot fewer of the sweep plays out to the perimeter with the entire line being expected to pull *and* block. For those who live and die by, and also claim our position players have been underachieving, I implore you to PLEASE invest time in looking into just how, precisely, football games are won and lost. Hint:it typically involves the really large fellas that start each play right around the ball. Is this the point where I supposed to pretend Cleveland is actually trying to win games? I mean everyone is aware they are tanking the season,..right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, let me rephrase it: Is this the point where I am supposed to pretend a team that's second to last win was on December 13, 2015 fucking matters? They have won 2 games in 2 years. They SUCK. Their defense mailed it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns have won 1 game in 23 months. They are a terrible team and organization. We played exactly how we should have played against a bad team, which is a good thing.

No, those teams are facing 8-man fronts and run blitzes because everyone in the stadium knows those teams are going to keep running it regardless. All they have to do is stay inbounds and not turn it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they’ve only lost by 2+ scores half of their games this year, so I’m not entirely sure your theory of how all of their games have transpired is entirely accurate. What’s more, I’m pretty sure you’re not all that sure about it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you're cherry-picking a single stat from a demonstrably shit team and trying to extrapolate that into the Bengal's OL turning the corner. Sorry but no sale.

No more than your gross generalization doesn’t do enough to totally cement your point. Go ahead, further research your claim and prove my intuition wrong. I’m simply looking at the fact that today, the Browns played us tighter than they should have been able offensively and still struggled to slow down Mixon and Bernard on the other side of the ball. I am am not claiming they have turned a corner, but am looking for some hope. Is that such a terrible fucking thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating them proves only that we are slightly less terrible than them. Hope in one hand and shit in the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the facts don't support your argument then you just go to "pretend" mode. Seriously man, it is possible to be critical of the Bewngals without going through the mental gymnastics you do to prove that EVERY facet of the team is the worst in the league. You actually gety upset when they do something good. That is just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluhartz Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 the way I see it.... to some on here.. the Bengals have now played 5 games that didn't matter and 6 that they shit to bed and they are the worst team ever... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
