Browns v. Bengals Live Blog
September 16, 2007
My thoughts on todays game, updated each quarter:
1st:
- Palmer is a little off, and I’ve seen that happen to him before. The Broncos game last year was a perfect example.
- Anderson is VERY streaky. Hes going to turn it over any second….he was VERY luck in the first quarter.
I’m not convinced with the score. I’m still expecting a Bengals win, bigtime.
2nd:
Wow
- I still think Anderson is getting lucky. Hes due for a turnover very soon. The Edwards catch was very lucky.
- Cribbs can have another big return if the Browns can get away with more holds.
This games been a ton of fun to watch. The sad thing is, just imagine if Quinn was in. They’d be tearing it up and he’d have the job locked up for the rest of the year.
Still think the Bengals win this. Anderson isn’t consistent enough.
3rd:
Can I say Wow again? Anderson threw a pick early as I predicted, but he recovered well.
Leon Hall has been burned twice for TDs, I say ths because I labeled him as a bust pre-draft.
Both defenses are doing absolutely nothing. Its like playing Madden on rookie where the CPU doesn’t use turbo. Palmer has been scary consistent.
I still think the Browns lose this game.
4th:
Every dog has their day right? The Bengals played a horrific game on defense and with their timeout management and challenges. It was awesome to see Braylon, Jamal, and Kellen have the games they did. I could feel the joy from Braylon when he scored. You can tell he wants to be a star in the league. I’m still not convinced about Anderson though. He threw a couple of passes that really should’ve been picked off.
If only Quinn had started today though. He would’ve torn things up like Anderson, and Browns fans would be united behind him after a big game. Regardless though, it was an extremely fun and entertaining game to watch. Chad Johnson going into the dog pound was hilarious. It was nice to Braylon and company have a huge game, although I hope he isn’t hurt to bad.
They went from getting blown out to scoring 51 points. The team is all over the place. I can’t wait ’til next week.
2007 Browns Record: 1-1
