We all knew it was coming. After the debacle at First Energy Stadium on Sunday, this is the only choice. Johnny Manziel will make his first career NFL start vs. Andy Dalton and the Bengals. Division rival with the season on the line. Buckle up because this ride is going to have twists and turns and loops and drops and inversions and G-forces.. shit, the train might even fly off the tracks… or it may arrive safely at the station with all it’s riders laughing and smiling. I don’t know what the hell to expect but I know it’s going to be fun.

Is he going to fall flat on his face? Is he going to come out firing bullets, making defenders look foolish and then flashing the money sign in chumps’ faces? I don’t know. No one does. And I think the unknown is what makes this so exciting. We have NO IDEA what to expect Sunday afternoon at First Energy Stadium. We just handed the keys to the franchise (along with a suffering region’s playoff aspirations) to a 22 year old wildcard. Am I nervous? Absolutely. Eager? Yep.

I trust Kyle Shanahan 1000% to put Johnny in the best position to succeed and get him in a rhythm. Whether that be the read option, a couple of designed QB runs, or 9 straight play action rollouts, Shan knows what he’s doing.

Sunday begins a new era in Cleveland. It’s Manziel time. You better buckle the fuck up, keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times because we’re going for a whirl… hopefully it’s not too late…

When no one in the entire country believed in them, the Browns proved once and for all that they’re for real this year. ESPN, NFL Network…. everyone picked Cincy to win. No respect for Cleveland. But that’s nothing new…

So what did the Browns do? Nothing really… just went into a hostile environment where the home team hasn’t lost in forever.. on a Thursday night primetime game… and castrated the entire city of Cincinnati by winning 24-3. And to be honest, that score doesn’t tell the full story. That was a drubbing. A statement game. We’re no longer the “little brother” in Ohio. The AFC North runs through Cuyahoga County this year.

If you played our Browns Bingo last night, you would have gotten Bingo in the mid 2nd quarter

One more game, Josh. One more game.

Craig Robertson set the tone early. Play of the game right here.

Ben Tate got the scoring started

This picture made me laugh. I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old. Whatever.

Every week is an adventure on the punt return team. Every week I grow fonder and fonder of the idea of having Josh Cribbs back…

Leah Still showed us that a little 4 year old girl can be tougher than two 53 man rosters combined

Good shit from Brian Hoyer right here

Greg Little was HILARIOUS

Even the cops in Cincy don’t like their own team

Feed Tha Crow! Feed him!

T. West went up and over for 6

This basically summed up the Bengals night

Desmond Bryant decided he’d be the reincarnation of Reggie White

Jeremy Hill had the game of his life (JK he sucked lolz) and decided to say the Browns were worse than he thought they’d be. Even though he fumbled and his team lost by 21 points.

Dalton pooped his pants3 times last night which resulted in 3 interceptions

Devon Still jacked up Terrance West

The Dawg Pound travels well

And in the end we improved to 6-3 and first place in the division. Somebody pinch me. If you would have told me earlier in the year we’d be 6-3 and coming off a 24-3 beatdown of the Bengals I would’ve slapped the shit out of you. This feels good. You have a GOOD football team this year, people. Enjoy it.

This is it, boys. This is the big one. This is war. Bust out the cannons, clean your rifles, get your grenades ready. Put your body armor on, lace up the combat boots. Do your push ups and drink your milk. We’re driving down I-71 S to claim what’s ours. The Browns are knocking and are ready to break down the fucking door. It’s gonna be a god damn fight in Cincinnati tonight. The battle of Ohio. A national prime time game. First place in the AFC North on the line. 6-3. 6-3. 6-3.

What to watch for

Joe Haden v AJ Green

This is always my favorite matchup of the year to watch at any position. Green and Haden have had some battles over the years with Haden dominating their past two meetings. I don’t know what to expect from AJ health-wise, but expect to see the Joe Haden we’re used to seeing. He’s put together a nice string of games here and is back to being “Pro Bowl Joe.” Remember the last time Joe Haden faced a team’s semi-injured #1 stud Wide Receiver in the rain? That was last year vs. Detroit when he made Calvin Johnson a non-factor. I expect Haden to shine under the bright lights and for him to win this matchup.

Browns interior linemen v Geno Atkins

I’m sure everyone in the world has seen this play by now:

But to be fair, Center Nick McDonald WAS tripped by left guard Joel Bitonio which allowed McCoy to sack Hoyer. The test doesn’t get any easier this week with Geno Atkins lining up in the A Gap. Controlling the interior line will be key in trying to establish some resemblance of an actual running game. Just think, in three consecutive weeks Nick McDonald will have to face Gerald McCoy, Geno Atkins, and JJ Watt. Woof. Welcome to the NFL, kid.
