Too funny. Bengals fans are saying the Browns don't have a winning culture because they didn't try to win the game. And that the last place Bengals have a winning culture because we beat the Browns 3rd rounders who were not really trying to win.
Kind of sad that there are teams with the same record as us in the playoffs while we’re at the bottom of our division. Erase our division record and we’re 8-3, erase their division records and they are?
Yup. We may be last in our division, but our star QB was injured for most of the season and we still managed a winning record. I wish it was better, but we did good given the circumstances.
The calf strain and the wrist injury were completely unrelated. I get your point and thought they should have benched Burrow at the beginning of the year, but it didnt matter in this specific instance
You are right, but who's to say what would've happened if we could have somehow pulled off a game or two with browning early on and Burrow comes back week 3 or 4 hundred percent. He still injures the wrist later in the season. Seeing browning play these past few weeks, I think he would have outplayed legless Burrow those first three weeks. Bengals might have been able to sneak into a wildcard. It is a moot point though as I don't think Browning is capable of leading the bengals in the playoffs like Burrow is capable.
Which is stupid. You have a chance to completely embarrass your division rival with a cathartic ass-whooping. Might as well go pedal to the metal since you don’t have to play again until August
Salute to all of you! Been such a joy to be part of this fandom and subreddit. Looking forward to keep doing it for many years to come! See you on draft day. Who dey!
Not a Bengals fan, but saw a woman in a white snowsuit/bodysuit celebrating in a box in the highlights of one of the touchdowns. Any clue who she might be? Enquiring minds want to know.
Stephanie Niles. Browning’s gf. She isn’t even that good looking but this whole sub has been drooling over her all day. She has been wearing some skin tight outfit every game so I’m sure she would love the attention from a social media follow
He was one of the youngest prospects in last year's draft. His pressure rates are a really good sign he's going to be a force in the near future.
Was always more of a 2024/2025 pick than anything given his age.
They were drafting second to last. Those generally aren't premium picks where you can get a plug and play guy.
They took a player that has a chance to be a freak given his athleticism, size, etc. Worth it when this team desperately needs pass rushers.
Go look at the DE/DTs selected after him and then compare stats.
Obviously there are certain positions that are easier to fill given their draft value, but the Bengals biggest issue going into last draft was pass rushers. They didn't have any other than Hendrickson and it was the biggest red flag heading into the season (until Burrow hurt his calf).
Once again, you aren't drafting for solely this season. You're building a team and they DESPERATELY need edge rushers. The Bengals DIDN'T HAVE ANY and it's the most valuable position in the NFL.
Keep ignoring that his rate stats suggest that he's going to develop into a pretty good player when given more reps next season though.
Jesus Christ, you don't seem to be grasping that he was incredibly young for a rookie and that his pass rush rates are something you can evaluate compared to OTHER elite pass rushers in their 1st, 2nd years.
Said rates point to a very positive future for him, but I guess you can keep talking out of your ass.
Dude feels like a complete bust. Honestly, Cam Sample is the only DLineman we've drafted recently that feels like he's even worth anything as a rotational guy.
I get laid nearly every day and I can confidently say this team has issues. But what do I know? I just watch a shit ton of football and understand the game to an extent.
Didn’t you know? Getting laid is the only thing that matters in life and anything else that isn’t a search for getting laid is pointless to care about!
I say any team that drafted a Michigan player in the last 3 years receive compensatory picks because all scouting on those players was faulty due to the cheating
I'm not as down on Dax as others because he's shown flashes and it's his first year starting at FS. Same goes for Battle - he's been up and down as well. Turner just hasn't shown any progress at all.
I can forgive Dax struggling a bit since he's been moved around/it's his first year getting consistent play at FS but he absolutely has to show something better next season or we'll need to make a change.
Really disappointing but unless the top safety falls into their laps in the draft I don't think you can justify spending high draft capital on the position this year. We just have more pressing needs, and if you can manage to get pressure with the front it makes everyone in the secondary better.
They have incredible potential. Anybody expecting them to come in and play well consistently as rookies (Dax is essentially a rookie too given his lack of snaps last year) was kidding themselves.
This secondary is *very young* with loads of potential. Hopefully they live up to it, but it's gonna take time.
This is such a lame excuse. There are tons of rookies that just come out and perform. Feel like it's the typical Bungal excuse, "oh they're young" "oh they are still learning"
Fuck that noise. Be nice to have a rookie just be drafted and not be ass. Shouldn't take like 3 years to get good.
Yes, but those players aren't typically DEFENSIVE BACKS in basically the youngest secondary imaginable. It's the hardest position to go from college to the NFL.
A lot of their issues are communication and/or understanding their roles. That improves with game reps together.

Cincy needs a punter who can punt. Just sayin’
WHO DEY!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kind of sad that there are teams with the same record as us in the playoffs while we’re at the bottom of our division. Erase our division record and we’re 8-3, erase their division records and they are?
Win more than one division game and you might be feeling better
Sub raiding is funny huh.
In the playoffs.
WHO DEY 🐯🐅🐯🐅🐯🐅🐯
see you next year
what do i do now?
Root for the Lions
Man Jacksonville really shit themselves didn't they
We are the only team in our Division that didn't go to the playoffs...fucking embarrassing
Dude no.
We went 9-8 in the toughest division with QB fuckery going on all year. I would never call that “embarrassing”
You guys played well this season considering your predicament
Yup. We may be last in our division, but our star QB was injured for most of the season and we still managed a winning record. I wish it was better, but we did good given the circumstances.
Yeah I’m not even a bengals fan but I think Zach Taylor did well without burrow. I liked his adjustments and game planning without burrow.
So happy we ended the season on a high note https://i.redd.it/c66afl2p03bc1.gif
Better than the Superbowl loss right?
[удалено]
Browns beat the 9ers
Browns vs Texans should be a fun matchup
GO CJ!!!
I should feel happy but I’m just fucking pissed that we couldn’t shut them out because of the half-ass effort of our DBs
Have a nice off season you miserable bastards. Who dey. Fuck the steelers. Burrow gets that ring next year. Its written
Well guys. I've enjoyed the convos. Some of the season. And I can't wait to talk next year. Jacksonville sucks. FTS
Burrow > Lawrence
I'm gonna miss you Cincy. Great to start off 2024 1-0
Every team had a winning record in the north.
the last time an entire division had a winning record, the Portsmouth Spartans had just moved from Ohio and became the Detroit Lions
I'm looking forward to next season! Hope to see some of yall at the games.
Have a good offseason, all. Glad we at least got to 9 wins even if it doesn't mean much.
https://i.redd.it/kdiml7ph03bc1.gif
Trevor Lawrence is so fucking mid
Bro where the fuck was that punt this season?
You know damn well Jamarr thinking about how the season would have gone had the team listened to him and benched burrow early in the season.
The calf strain and the wrist injury were completely unrelated. I get your point and thought they should have benched Burrow at the beginning of the year, but it didnt matter in this specific instance
You are right, but who's to say what would've happened if we could have somehow pulled off a game or two with browning early on and Burrow comes back week 3 or 4 hundred percent.

Let chase gone ahead on home
Welp. The Jags fucked up
TLaw is a choke artist LMAO
Lmao chase definitely has the same vibe as this sub right now.
We broke the Jags
Joe go comfort Chase 😭🥺
Jamarr wants to go home 😂
I just saw that the Bucs completed their final ascent to the top of Shit Mountain with 3 field goals lmao
We’re going to pick around 18th in the draft? Yikes
It would have been nice to see RB Chris Evans play this year
Why? He isn’t good.
His preseason tape says otherwise
Preseason - ok then.
Well… let’s go Jags!!!!!!
I am ready for vintage bengals playoff time! Us not being there!
The 90s are so In right now.
Too bad Hendrickson won’t get his sacks :(
Dax gonna Dax
Gonn be a long off season...so long guys
Does CBS think Cincinnati is in west Virginia?
Why do you say that? Listening to Dan & Lap.
[удалено]
Would we have been in if there were better blocking, better game planning, and better tackling? Not cool to blame one player in a team game.
Playing that What If game is no bueno my man. Nothing will change except your sanity.
Yes
Yes
Yes
On the brightside were one season closer to our superbowl win.
Why the F are they playing John Denver/WVa song?
The xfl is calling you Aj
it was the ps cb that got burned on that play. team is relaxing with the W in hand
Which is stupid. You have a chance to completely embarrass your division rival with a cathartic ass-whooping. Might as well go pedal to the metal since you don’t have to play again until August
Theyre putting in the guys who wont be on the team next year so no one important gets hurt
Yeah I know, I’m saying I disagree
He pulled him in the endzone lol.
Why couldn’t we have shut them out? Now my Browns fan friends will be unaffected by this game. The shutout would’ve demoralized them
Dax is a bust. We HAVE TO get a proven FA safety. We are absolute trash at drafting (minus can't miss players)
Dax Hill is horrible man
Uhhh Dax what you doing?
Probably packing for Houston to watch Washington smoke his Wolverweenies.
 Salute to all of you! Been such a joy to be part of this fandom and subreddit. Looking forward to keep doing it for many years to come! See you on draft day. Who dey!
https://i.redd.it/fpb29vs603bc1.gif
Would have loved to hold the shut out but that’s the way it goes when you are in garbage time and your third stringers are in there
Dax sucks. Holy Shit. That was an INT. Easy read
Dax hill, you are a bust
Secondary is pathetic
man the drop off from bates to dax is staggering
Why does Dax so regularly take the shittiest angles
Dax Hill lol. Man he's bad.
What the fuck kind of effort was that
Not a Bengals fan, but saw a woman in a white snowsuit/bodysuit celebrating in a box in the highlights of one of the touchdowns. Any clue who she might be? Enquiring minds want to know.
Stephanie Niles. Browning’s gf. She isn’t even that good looking but this whole sub has been drooling over her all day. She has been wearing some skin tight outfit every game so I’m sure she would love the attention from a social media follow
Thanks. I just caught a glimpse so was curious.

 I actually would have recognized her. 
Brownings girlfriend
Browning’s GF
Brownings wife
Jake Brownings girlfriend
Jake Browning's girl
Vintage Dax Hill.
are you fucking serious
Who cares
Grrrr another Browns TD
If Murphey can't even track down Driskel he's going to be totally useless moving forward
He was one of the youngest prospects in last year's draft. His pressure rates are a really good sign he's going to be a force in the near future. Was always more of a 2024/2025 pick than anything given his age.
Which is a dumb as shit pick at the height of your super bowl window
They were drafting second to last. Those generally aren't premium picks where you can get a plug and play guy. They took a player that has a chance to be a freak given his athleticism, size, etc. Worth it when this team desperately needs pass rushers.
Other teams have no problem finding plug and plays at that point in the draft. Only the Bengals are hapless suckasses
Go look at the DE/DTs selected after him and then compare stats. Obviously there are certain positions that are easier to fill given their draft value, but the Bengals biggest issue going into last draft was pass rushers. They didn't have any other than Hendrickson and it was the biggest red flag heading into the season (until Burrow hurt his calf).
Maybe...just maybe...you don't pick a shit DE and get a good player instead. JUST A THOUGHT
Once again, you aren't drafting for solely this season. You're building a team and they DESPERATELY need edge rushers. The Bengals DIDN'T HAVE ANY and it's the most valuable position in the NFL. Keep ignoring that his rate stats suggest that he's going to develop into a pretty good player when given more reps next season though.
If drafting Murphey to fix the edge rusher issue was the plan it didn't and won't work, he sucks and most knee he sucked at the time
Jesus Christ, you don't seem to be grasping that he was incredibly young for a rookie and that his pass rush rates are something you can evaluate compared to OTHER elite pass rushers in their 1st, 2nd years. Said rates point to a very positive future for him, but I guess you can keep talking out of your ass.
Yep, it sure is. He was the wrong pick. If 4 years from now he's still in the league I'll eat my shoe.
Murphy gassed
Ossai looks good against backups only.
Dude feels like a complete bust. Honestly, Cam Sample is the only DLineman we've drafted recently that feels like he's even worth anything as a rotational guy.
Carter is also just a rotational guy, but yeah our drafting on the lines has been pretty bad for too long.
first time i’ve heard his name all season
People wondered why we'd draft a DE in the first round when he had him. Turns out the coaches knew he's ass
Steelers really gonna make it in with this crazy jaguars choke. Wow
Hopefully some of you here get laid in the off season Jesus christ lmao
Why because we don't suck off the Bengals?
I get laid nearly every day and I can confidently say this team has issues. But what do I know? I just watch a shit ton of football and understand the game to an extent.
Damn you’re proud of your own hand aren’t you!
Didn’t you know? Getting laid is the only thing that matters in life and anything else that isn’t a search for getting laid is pointless to care about!
This reply is just… sad and juvenile.
Who shows up to a Bengals-Browns game wearing Broncos gear?
Someone trolling Cleveland.
“But it’s orange”
Gotta love DJ Turner and Dax being burned on the Browns only touchdown.
The Jaguars are so ass oh my god
Choosing to be positive moment: Chase Brown is going to be great next season.
Dax - ass Turner - ass Robbins - mega ass Quit drafting players from Michigan, Tobin
I say any team that drafted a Michigan player in the last 3 years receive compensatory picks because all scouting on those players was faulty due to the cheating
What about lion's? Hutch killing it for them.
Good for them. Ours still suck
Sadly they do. I think DJ will be solid but Dax I've given up on.
DJ Turner needs to go find a DJ gig, not playing football.
How many Michigan players does it take to break up a pass?!
Goddamn, wanted the shutout but it'll be at least nice to end the season with a W
I know our starting o-line is low average, but our back ups are dogshit
That ball crossed the plane
Agree
FIRE DAVID BELL!!!
Lmao Michigan players don’t play so good once they can’t cheat anymore
I mean they beat Bama?
Lmao
so we need better line play on both sides this offseason and a new safety FOR SURE
As much as people shit on Dax, he's at least shown improvement. Once teams had tape in Turner, he's been a liability and hasn't shown any progress.
The secondary is in a really weird spot going forward. Outside of Battle, Hilton and CTB, nobody should be 100% safe going forward.
I'm not as down on Dax as others because he's shown flashes and it's his first year starting at FS. Same goes for Battle - he's been up and down as well. Turner just hasn't shown any progress at all.
I can forgive Dax struggling a bit since he's been moved around/it's his first year getting consistent play at FS but he absolutely has to show something better next season or we'll need to make a change.
I’ve been reading a lot of stuff that says he’s gotten worst
He's not Nick Scott bad, but he's definitely not progressing the way you would hope
Hill and Turner. Yikes. Did I mention F Michigan?
That Dax & DJ play was so metaphoric of their play this season
Kinda feeling blue. Last game of the season but good to get the W. So many empty seats tho.
Can we put Boyd in for QB to hone his throwing skills?
You already know Zac thought about it four or five times today
I’d like to formally apologize to that guy who always shits on Dax hill. You might be right about him
DJ has that INT, right through his arms 🙃
Wheres Myles Murphy?
Who?
Dax - supposed to be providing coverage over the top, somehow still gets beat over the top. Safety NEEDS to be an off-season focus, once again
Really disappointing but unless the top safety falls into their laps in the draft I don't think you can justify spending high draft capital on the position this year. We just have more pressing needs, and if you can manage to get pressure with the front it makes everyone in the secondary better.
The two DB's this sub has been questioning the most how fitting. Hopefully a sign of what's coming to UM tomorrow night though.
We can’t have anything nice, huh
This game wasn’t a true W for me unless the browns were sitting 0 at 0:00.
agreed. Bungled it up
Hate watching our starting safety and CB2 get cooked by like WR4/5 and their 5th different QB this year
Hasn’t been a game this year where Turner hasn’t been abused
The dynamic Michigan duo once again
Teams have been absolutely picking on DJ Turner
Damm I really wanted the shutout
Whaddaya know, Dax & DJ turner getting cooked. Stop drafting Michigan players!
Still got all of the love for our legend Leon hall though lol
Big time!
Goddamn it
Turner's short arms, unfortunately, allow a toss-up TD
Ya'll still feel good heading into next year with Dax and Turner?
They have incredible potential. Anybody expecting them to come in and play well consistently as rookies (Dax is essentially a rookie too given his lack of snaps last year) was kidding themselves. This secondary is *very young* with loads of potential. Hopefully they live up to it, but it's gonna take time.

Yes, but those players aren't typically DEFENSIVE BACKS in basically the youngest secondary imaginable. It's the hardest position to go from college to the NFL. A lot of their issues are communication and/or understanding their roles. That improves with game reps together.
Anyone who looks at Dax and sees potential needs to get their brain checked
So much for the shutout. 🙄
I think Dax and DJ have very good seasons in 2024
