Seeing Bengals fans on Twitter saying they wouldn’t bail out the Bengals like they are the Browns.

My Twitter feed sucks

TBH, I didn't think the league was going to "bail out" the Browns either. 

Regardless of your team affiliation, any team put in this situation should be bailed out, if only for the fans. No fan wants to pay a couple of hard earned paychecks for season tickets only to watch Uncle Rico play QB and their team get slaughtered. I remember watching the Browns "scab" players, during the strike, back in the mid/late 80's. That was some fugly football.

Fans wanting them NOT to get bailed out are only doing it for selfish reasons....a distinct competitive advantage. And honestly, can't blame them for any advantage they'd want.

I'd say the main team that has a true, legit complaint about how things are going is Philly. A borderline playoff team stuck in the 6-7 zone that now has 2 division games in 5 days because of WFT's issues. Which is a lot more valid than the usual, impotent "iF iT WaS uS aNd nOt ThEm, tHeY'D dO nOtHiNg!!!!!" bitching.

Didn’t browns fans do the same if it was us and not them, they’d do nothing argument about Baltimore from last year until the NFL stepped in a couple days ago and helped them.

I was thinking about this the other day, too. I can’t believe I actually went to a couple of those games. Fugly is right.

It’s the “my team always gets screwed attitude “ I don’t like

I thought they had until 2pm today to test out but Jake Trotter is claiming Nick Mullens will definitely be the starting QB tonight? Yet John Johnson III, who I think tested positive after Mayfield & Keenum, has been cleared.

Maybe Johnson has more recently tested negative 🤷🏻‍♂️

Add Teller and Johnson

Lose Clowney

And get back Takk McKinley. Old Jamie Gillan must have a fierce case of it or they just don't want him back. This is his second week on the list.

Hope Chubb's returned to form or this could be ugly.

Teller back is probably the biggest win we could've hoped for.

Somewhat of a "cool" local story here. Browns have activated O-Lineman Hjalte Froholdt from the practice squad. Froholdt played a year of american football at Warren Harding High School as a foreign exchange student from Denmark.

Sounds like the Browns have been keeping Myles Garrett in bubble wrap, trying to keep him away from possible re-infection.

Choosing to receive the kickoff is fucking stupid.

We already suck, don’t need horrible pass interference calls.

Maybe with their new QB, their opening drive plays are so tightly scripted that the first one has to start on the 25 yard line!

They chose to receive last week also with their starters.
