Just watched the first half of the Bengals/Browns game and wow, the Browns are bad. It wasn't a game (half) that the Bengals dominated by any stretch. The Browns got a Dalton fumble recovery on the first drive, had a negative yard drive and missed a FG. On the second drive Hill coughed it up, but the Bengals recovered. After the Bengals scored on a less than dominant dink and dunk drive, the Browns threw a pick in the red zone that looked exactly like Tyrod's INT in the Jets game (only the WR was way more open and just popped it up in the air).
Anyways, I may watch the second half, but this puts me at ease a little bit. The Browns had chances and ran actually pretty well early. They got down and had multiple 3 and outs created by bad pocket presence and throwing by Kizer. Tyrod won't make the mistake that Kizer did and our D is much more stingy-- the Bengals O line is not good. We are not the Browns and the Bengals took advantage of the worst team in the league and their many, many unforced errors-- 64 yard screen pass for a TD right before half. Even with the sloppy play, the game would have been much different had they made their early FG and converted in the red zone instead of a pick.
This wasn't about the Bengals being super good; it was more about the Browns being super bad.
