My theory, which is based mostly on just my gut, is that he had a little of the 'first game of the season' jitters, combined with not being entirely comfortable with the new scheme, the third one he's had to learn in three years, plus just pressing too hard. He wants to have a big performance; to hit a homerun, on every play. He needs to just take what the defense gives him and be patient. Sooner or later the defense will give him a chance to make a big downfield play. I think he's trying to manufacture something that isn't there.

I think that's a pretty good theory on your part. Maybe he will settle down with more time in the new scheme. It helps that none of the other teams on their schedule this year have such an explosive offense like the Ravens. There's bound to be more pressure on the QB when you feel like your defense has no chance to stop the other team from scoring.

Of course, these things are very fragile. If he has another couple of terrible games, this thing could really avalanche out of control and he won't be able to recover from it.

The browns are a hot mess...

3-3 or 50-50, what's it gonna be?

Bengals have the better QB by far but it’s his first “road” game and this is exactly the type of game the Browns win and people act like they’ve figured it out before they promptly lose 6 in a row.

Something like 19-17 or 9-8.

Cats over dawgs.

Burrow actually makes me interested to watch this one.

I have a teaser so Browns pick em and under 49.5

So if I were you guys, I’d bet Bengals 38-20

Heh, entirely possible. This is one of those games that I usually take a hard pass on because literally everything about it a coinflip. Maybe one or both teams get hot offensively. Maybe both defenses actually look good. Maybe we see an absolute circus with pick-6s, safeties, fumble returns, guys running the ball into the wrong endzone. These games are as likely to go 3-0 as they are to go 37-40 in OT.

But on paper, and if I had to bet the game, I'd bet the under every time.

If baker gets run by burrow colin cowherd is gonna go ham sammich

The only reason I am watching is there is nothing else on.

Doing school work.

[hankwilliamsjr] Are you ready for some marginal football? [/williamsjr]

So i just saw somewhere had the Browns -6. That seems highly optimistic. I might be tempted to take CIN if I had to wager on this one.

The Bengals and Browns are intermixed in their line of unity. That's more unity than I expected.
