This is when you sit Burrow.

In college ball you expect teams not to bring an A game. In the NFL that is unholy.

0-3 in the division with losses to a bad Cleveland team and a pathetic Steelers team.

Browns are 3-5, Bengals 4-4. The first 2 losses 100% cool bro head coach for not playing the starting O line in the preseason.

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the auto-win against the Bengals. Five in a row and 8 of the last 10. Tonight was with a depleted Cleveland secondary/LB core and a career back-up QB.

Both these teams stink. It’s a race to 7-10.

Hjalte Froholdt, who was waived by NE and Houston, at LG is more physical than anyone on the Bengals over paid OL. He is from Denmark.

That Steelers loss is critical. Baltimore already has one win vs Cincy so division record will be second tie breaker assuming they win at home. No way Baltimore is going 3-3 in division. If they're making another playoff run it's going to have to be on the road. If Chase's injury ends up being longer than expected or he isn't the same coming off the injury it's all irrelevant. He's clearly the 2nd most important player on the team, the only guy that defenses have to change the way they play to avoid him taking the game over.

Good You Tube clip on the Volumes page; when they get to the Bengals point the guy says that without Chase they can loose to anyone and it's an indictment of Taylor that they couldn't do anything without him and most recognize Taylor is an awful coach.

If the offensive line continues to play like last night the Bengals won't be winning many more games.

Even my wife who doesn't like football commented on how quickly Burrow had to get rid of the ball.

Well...the Bengals did go 3-3 in the division in 2013 and still won it. So there is that.

But they are definitely trending downward. Taylor/Callahan can't figure out how to attack 2 deep coverage, with or without Chase. The O line is still terrible. Mixon is washed up. The punter is over the hill. And now the defensive backfield just lost their best player. Not a recipe for success.

I've been critical of ZT but the Bengals can loose to anyone with Chase as well. The coaching staff lays as many eggs as the Marvin era but they also have put in just as many world beater performances. As a young coaching staff that's not always a bad thing, IMO.
