CreepingDeath Posted Thursday at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:18 AM Some funny shit over at The Ringer: https://www.theringer.com/2025/10/22/nfl/nfl-quarterback-commitment-index-drake-maye-tua-tagovailoa-justin-fields Quote Cuck Corner Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns and Joe Flacco The Bengals and Browns found themselves in an unexpected situation earlier this month, the kind where adults participate in things they hadn’t imagined they would enjoy. Both teams were desperate. The Bengals needed something, anything, after Joe Burrow went down with an injury and Jake Browning simply couldn’t score enough. The Browns, who are somehow paying eight quarterbacks on their cap this year, had benched Joe Flacco for rookie Dillon Gabriel. And so the two teams did the unthinkable: They made the first trade between the franchises this century, breaking the forbidden incestuous seal of an intra-division deal. Not only did these teams do this, but they did it for a quarterback. The Browns swapped Flacco to the Bengals and pulled up a chair in the corner for Thursday Night Football as Flacco scored for the team over and over and over again, winning 33-31. It’s hard to imagine how the Browns could derive pleasure from watching that. We aren’t here to judge, but Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin did not hide his horror that the Browns had allowed Flacco to join the Bengals. “To be honest, it was shocking to me,” Tomlin said last week. ”[Browns GM] Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me, or us, because it doesn’t make sense to me to trade a quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening-day starter to a division opponent that’s hurting in that area. But that’s just my personal feeling.” You can hear it in Tomlin’s voice. He thinks that Berry is sick. Meanwhile, Flacco and the Bengals probably enjoyed it even more knowing that the Browns were watching. Mythos27, titanruss, and Callidus 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryBoats Posted Thursday at 08:59 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:59 AM It's surprising that Flacco didn't do very well with the Colts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Brandon Allen is on borrowed time too Hilarious that Callahan largely got the job because Browning performed well in that Offense against bad teams. And now that they've exclusively played good teams, both he and the offense looked like the Titans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTitan Posted Thursday at 02:38 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:38 PM Buck continuing to pour salt in the wound. Like Henry, it seemed like it was time to move on from Byard. But damn..... this makes it look way worse. Especially when you consider they may have used the CB from Baltimore as justification for trading brownlee.... titanruss, Supernope, and TheBisco 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do their coaches and GM suck too? or is the more likely scenario Byard is still old but getting some Ints this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles' DC was demoted from play calling during the regular season and then fired afterwards. He was the Brian Callahan of DCs. So yes, he absolutely sucked. They improved from 30th in points allowed to 1st the year following his firing. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso just pointing out the fact that we replaced him with nothing. Thats a GM issue, but maybe we just blame ran and let Brinker off Scott free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Roseman made the call to move on from Byard based on the DC? Good grief dude... you need to stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jamalisms Posted Thursday at 03:35 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:35 PM Byard is simply another example of a good, core player who started aging and wasn't as good but got replaced with nothing (all the trade pieces are gone). We did that with a ton of players, either by not replacing them at all or fucking up every acquisition ... and that's why there's absolutely zero talent anywhere.

Good grief dude... you need to stop. Lol. Yeah, cause the titans FO has the same credibility of Howie Roseman. When you win a SB, you get the benefit of the doubt. Especially when you had the best roster in The league. We, otoh, have the worst roster Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
