    true… amazing how bengals and ravens are now less of an issue than browns. A good season so far.

    Just had a look Steelers/Browns vs Vikes. Hmm, somebody was following the same game script:

    Looks like the Browns were better at defending the pass (not surprised). Steelers/Browns offenses were virtual twins.

    Joe Burrow is the modern day Dan Marino

    Also consider that LJ's cap hit balloons to $75M next season.... ooof. Unless the cap limit jumps that's at least one or two premium player signings not possible.

    They will restructure this contract with void years if necessary.

    Agree. Dolphins front office never addressed the RB situation to take pressure off Marino, like Broncos did for Elway (TD) and they always had an average, sometimes below average defense... but with great WRs and OL.

    It isn't as if the Broncos put some high priority on getting a running back. Davis was drafted in the sixth round.

    Yeah, but Broncos struck gold with that pick.... almost as good as Brady in 2000 and just as good as AB in 2010. I don't think Broncos win those 2 SBs without TD. Too bad Dolphins never got lucky at RB.

    Great. We have to play Bengals next Thursday. Flacco will play like the 2nd coming of Johnny Unitas on TNF.

    He may, or he may not.
    No matter what people think of Flacco I watched him have one hell of a better Playoff run, and SB than I've ever seen Lamar, Herbert, Josh Allen, or many others have.
    I seen Flacco have 14 td, and 0 ints that post season. 11 tds , and 0 ints in the playoffs that year, and 3tds, and 0 ints in that SB.

    That was 13 years ago. Flacco was 27, right in the heart of his prime, not 40.

    I agree, but to think He can't do that for a game here, and there is preposterous. He did just take the Browns to the playoffs in 2023, and while he's older, the Bengals offense is a way different animal than the Browns. This is not saying he will do it, but that He can do it , at least here, and there.

    Flacco will have some formidable weapons in Chase and Higgins. Steelers gonna get a whoopin' if the D doesn't show up.

    Just last year he came off the bench as a Colt and torched our defense. We had a game plan to stop Anthony Richardson but he got hurt early on and Flacco came in throwing darts.

    So.... Flacco joining the bengals on Tuesday right before a Sunday game in less than two weeks, having never ever played in the bengals system, will somehow allow him to light it up against Steelers??

    is that the sum of it?

    The system of Mike Shanahan was so great for the running backs.Davis was the best in the Shanahan era but other RBs had big number in this system like Mike Anderson,etc

    lot of Harbaugh grumbling in B'More for sure. Biscotti is NOT Rooney, that I can tell he. I don't think he will sit

    it is time for Johnny and Mike to go, has been for a while

    the Browns will stuff our offense. Boz will have to dig this one out for us......

    Hope Rodgers does not get killed....

    Mike Glennon and Bruce Gradkowski lit up a Steelers D that was much better than the one we have now. Unlike those 2, Flacco actually won a Super Bowl and laid waste to teams with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning at QB in the process. So yeah... Flacco still scares me with this erratic, Jeckyl/Hyde defense.
