Thursday Night Football - Browns/Bengals

AsylumGuido · 09-17-2020, 11:21 AM

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I am actually really looking forward to watching the Cincy/Cleveland game tonight. There are even fantasy implications involved.

Joe Burrow. OBJ. AJ Green. Nick Chubb. Jarvis Landry. Joe Mixon. Baker Mayfield. Vonn Bell. Kareem Hunt. Myles Garrett.

Because it is football I would have it on anyway, but by no means enthralled. On paper the Browns should bounce back from week one and take this game, but Burrow is the unknown factor. His last couple of series this past week actually looked very good. This is actually an excellent chance for him to win his first game as a pro.

Baker Mayfield needs to play better.

I'll be rooting for Mr. Burrow though. The tools are there.

Ratings will be worse than last week I know that much. These teams suck. Not on the same page offensively.

Given the game is on NFL Network the ratings should be lower than last week. But, given the fact that the NFL remains the top rated programs on television they will continue get the top revenues. It remains the only surefire advertising vehicle. You want your product to get the most views on the market ... advertise during NFL games.

That said, both teams have plenty off offesive talent. It should be fun to watch!

Ratings will be lower than last week's TNF game and lower than last years 2nd TNF game. Parsing it with "yeah but..." still doesn't change what I stated.

And who cares?

Burrow looks incredible. A few rookie mistakes here and there but he already looks so much better than certain other young QB’s like Daniel Jones. The Bengals will probably lose this game but if I’m a Bengals fan I’m feeling VERY good about our future.

Vonn Bell missing tackles.

Vonn Bell looked remarkably average. I kept looking for him to make a splash play and he didn’t deliver.
