got to a completely awful matchup. It's like the league is trolling us.
The only thing mildly interesting is seeing Burrow.
Yeah seeing Burrow is the only thing that has my attention. I watched a little bit of the Bengals game last weekend. But I was thinking the same thing with another stinker on Thursday night 🤦🏾♂️
would likely confirm and ignite some fires in Cleveland. Normally I don't root for stuff like that to happen but yeah, who doesn't want to see it at this point, haha.

Seeing the lowly Bengals blow out Baker & Co (the most overrated team ever IMO) would make my night.
Interesting take on the scheduling but, it is more
hindsight than on purpose. The schedule was made when people were thinking the Browns, with a new coach and a lot of possible firepower- seriously- OBJ, Landry, Hunt, Cobb, Njoku, Hooper they are all talented players and then the Bengals with the #1 pick Joe Burrow and returning star AJ Green might be a very solid matchup.
Now, the Browns are the Browns so that pretty much took care of that. I think tonight will be a no defense, high scoring affair.
I want to see OBJ play again, and hopefully play well. I don't hate the guy, and when he's at his best he's exciting to watch.
I also would love to see A.J. Green put on a show. He's had a long time off and recovering. And of course, intrigued by Burrow, who I think is going to be a great one.
Good RBs in this game with two women abusers and Nick Chubb, lol.
I know I’m in the minority but I love watching pro football and having a game on Thursday night is just fine with me. This is a division game with the number 1 overall pick in the draft starting for the first time on national tv. For the Browns, they’re in a really important game and it’s only game two and it’s short rest. The Browns need this game. The Browns have a lot of talent on and they have a lot of drama. What’s not to like? And these days, what the heck else are you planning? (Put Isles on the big screen and the Bungles v Browns on the PIP).
things tonight. I think it's a cool matchup. Two #1 pick QBs facing off. It's also early enough in the season that both teams can get to 1-1/.500 and theoretically back in the playoff hunt with a win.
Also, I still root for Beckham. The Giants have been mostly a dumpster fire since the last super bowl they won. The biggest exception to that was when Beckham was here and producing insane big plays for us. Even combined with a good defense to lead us to the playoffs. He's in the AFC now, so I don't really see the harm in hoping he gets his career back on track. Doesn't affect the Giants (until we play this year that is).

I don’t believe that to be the case. The NFL has always put these bad divisional matchups on either Thursday night or Monday night early in the season. Remember, every team gets an appearance on Thursday night or Thanksgiving. And, it still may be a solid matchup. After one week we aren’t giving up on the Giants yet either.

I am interested as well. Want to see Burrow vs Mayfield and the schmuck in me is down to watch OBJ drop an important pass or 2 :)
as long as it doesn't make the % of injuries go up that is.
I play a pool so every game has interest. I have cincy tonite with 5.5.
If I did not play I would still have an interest.
I used to like the Browns cus they got screwed by Modell and they never won a SB, but not so much anymore.
Baker mayfield is kind of a douche, he isn't in the category of A. Rodgers for me but all in all a dick from what I have seen.
Bengals always suck so I hope they win some games.
and I'm actually looking forward to seeing how bad Mayfield is, over an entire game. Well, that's a lie. I don't think I can watch this shit-show all the way through.
Won't lie - also wouldn't make me unhappy to see OBJ whining on the sideline.
Giants have not been favored by more than 3.5 points in any game since the 2016 season, except for the 2018 finale where everyone assumed Dallas was going to tank.
They didn't, and Giants lost by 1 as 7.5 point favorites.
If Baker doesn't perform well either this week or next week,
the Browns will be looking at QB. The offensive line stinks and he's had too many offensive coordinators, but he's making the same mistakes. Too many dumb decisions improvising. Needs to learn how to play taller from the pocket as well ala Brees.
This is probably going to be the only time I take the Thursday night
road team this year. Still early in season and familiar opponents. Hard to see Bengles winning, but can def see it being a tough one score game.
I don't think this matchup is as bad as people are making it out to be. Two 1st overall QBs - one needing a game to keep the jackals at bay and the other trying to prove himself? Two historically shit franchises rooting for straws to grasp onto tonight?
The only thing mildly interesting is seeing Burrow.

Eh, it was the early MNF game, which isn't the marquee matchup. And NY is still a big media market, regardless of the state of the team.

Three times in 2019: CIN, MIA and @NYJ (after Darnold was hurt).
Actually gave 11 points to MIA. And covered in all three games.
Also gave 10 at home to CIN in 2018. Won but didn't cover.
They didn't, and Giants lost by 1 as 7.5 point favorites.
