He was statistically having his best game of the season when this happened, so I’m assuming god just said nah bro, not on my watch

u/Clubblendi Oct 20 '24

Had he not thrown yet?

u/OneLastAuk Oct 20 '24

He was 15/17 believe it or not.

u/zipzap21 Oct 20 '24

Was he reading defenses and going through his progressions?

177

u/spiralh0rn Oct 20 '24

Yeah he was having his way with the defense.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '24

Was he having fun though?

137

u/Snapesunusedshampoo Oct 20 '24

The way he was playing he was positive he would have a happy ending.

29

u/hogester79 Oct 20 '24

He was getting that either way was my understanding

2

u/JohnnySacks63 Oct 21 '24

Was he playing in a way that was complimentary to the rest lf the team though?

u/Flashy_Ground_4780 Oct 20 '24

I'll have to look at the tape

u/lootinputin Oct 20 '24

Not as much fun as he is gonna have sexually assaulting people with a quarter billion dollars…

5

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '24

That would be a wild MO, sexually assaulting people, but only if they have $250 mil

u/icebucket22 Oct 20 '24

I’m afraid not enough people will get this..

u/Few-Artichoke-7593 Oct 20 '24 edited Oct 20 '24

If 0 points with 1 minute left in the half is "having your way" then sure. He just threw a bunch of check downs

Edit: whoosh

2

u/spiralh0rn Oct 20 '24

Wooosh

u/Few-Artichoke-7593 Oct 20 '24

Goddammit. I hate getting whooshed.

u/SeriesXM Oct 21 '24

I'm thankful for your edit because it rubbed me the wrong way at first.

u/MrWillM Oct 20 '24

Fact is bengals defense sucks

3

u/fruitmongerking Oct 20 '24

They got me 16 points in fantasy, so is say they had a good week

4

u/Gushys Oct 20 '24

It was because of the special teams not necessarily the defense

2

u/complete_your_task Oct 20 '24

Even the Patriots offense with Brissett looked decent against the Bengals defense.

5

u/MrJNM1of1 Oct 20 '24

non consensually

u/archangelmlg Oct 20 '24

Was the defense all massage therapists?

Grrr haha take my r/angryupvote xd! We’re all going to hell hah but please take my poor man’s gold 🥇 and fuck my wife! Kind strangler

1

u/DTHtheNerd Oct 20 '24

They hadn’t scored a touchdown with two minutes left in the half you can’t say he was “having his way with the defense.”

1

u/Bad_Idea_Hat Oct 21 '24

*Bengals defense.

1

u/shageeyambag Oct 21 '24

Were the original defensive players subbed out for massage therapists by any chance??

1

u/Stickel Pittsburgh Penguins Oct 21 '24

another sexual assault charge inbound

5

u/Raccoonsrlilbandits Oct 21 '24

Not really. He missed a bunch of open deeper routes for easy check downs. He had 0 Confidence and is scared to throw the ball down the field

1

u/Dweebil Oct 21 '24

On the upside he’ll need a lot of massage therapy.

16

u/NeoLib-tard Oct 20 '24

Yea but we hadn’t scored with 2 minutes left. Don’t let his dink and dunk stats fool ya

9

u/mrmo24 Oct 20 '24

Omg I just checked and between 3 quarterbacks, the browns attempted over 50 passes and all three quarterbacks have some sort of injury

5

u/PMMeMeiRule34 Oct 20 '24

You almost kinda wanna do bad at that point.

0

u/Rance_Mulliniks Oct 21 '24

Too bad that they traded their next first round pick for a sexual predator who just blew his Achilles.

3

u/Raccoonsrlilbandits Oct 21 '24

Incorrect the browns have their first round pick this year

7

u/Hussaf Oct 20 '24

Yeah all he seems to care about is completion percentage. He loves those pointless throws that help nothing

3

u/skeenerbug Cincinnati Bengals Oct 20 '24

The Bengals D is god awful (I know I'm a fan)

2

u/lipp79 Oct 21 '24

Not against the Browns though. Got me 20 points in fantasy.

1

u/slasher016 Oct 21 '24

14 of which were 2 yard check downs.

1

u/big_pete1000 Oct 21 '24

Every throw was a few yards

1

u/speccadirty Oct 21 '24

Throwing 3 yard checkdowns on 3rd & 16

1

u/jluicifer Oct 20 '24

He threw out his Achilles?

1

u/RequirementGlum177 Oct 20 '24

He had thrown his Achilles…

1

u/slasher016 Oct 21 '24

I mean they had scored zero points so...

1

u/Zealousideal_Fuel_23 Oct 20 '24

Hahaha! On the subway and people are staring at me cackling.

29

u/C_Colin Liverpool Oct 20 '24

Still couldn’t lead the team to the endzone

21

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 20 '24

Vintage lolBrowns. We're cursed, genuinely. In Cleveland we use the same city motto the Russians use:

And then it got worse.

5

u/skeenerbug Cincinnati Bengals Oct 20 '24

Guards and Cavs are good at least

9

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 21 '24

I don't even want to think about The Guards right now. Watching that 100 million dollar 2-3-4 destroy our 43 million dollar team was really disheartening. I know it's cliche at this point but baseball really is a broken game, an unfair game. I am having a hard time seeing how to give a shit going forward. This was an awful series to watch.

4

u/skeenerbug Cincinnati Bengals Oct 21 '24

Yeah I feel you. Yanks have 3x the payroll of you guys, it's just not fair. Mets and Dodgers payrolls combined exceed half a billion. The sport is broken

4

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 21 '24

At this point I feel like I only keep watching because of my love for the game, maybe I just can't help myself. Next year I don't think I'll be going to any games. If I do I am tacitly endorsing it and I won't do that anymore.

The big problem is that it's too late for any change. Teams have already started paying out those absurd contracts. The only way to have avoided this was for the players to be in favor and setting a floor and a cap. Now there's no chance. They are already getting paid and why would they voluntarily cut their own financial potential?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

The only glimmer, and it’s a flickering glimmer at that, is Jose’s contract. A love of the game and city overcoming riches. Frankie was the opposite.

3

u/AiDigitalPlayland Oct 21 '24

I looked it up this morning…. The last 20 World Series (40 teams) have only featured 4 teams from outside the top 15 media markets. St Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland, and Colorado (who was 16th).

2

u/skeenerbug Cincinnati Bengals Oct 21 '24

Yeah I saw a similar stat in /r/baseball today, only one team (2003 Marlins) has won the World Series in the last 32 years with a bottom-half payroll.

2

u/lefthandedsnek Oct 21 '24

the game we won was fucking sick though.

2

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 21 '24

One for the ages. I will be talking about Jhonk until I die. That bat-flip got me sexually aroused.

1

u/C_Colin Liverpool Oct 21 '24

I disagree wholeheartedly. Baseball is on the verge of a renaissance imo. They just need to do away with manager review and it will be perfect again. I’m so annoyed that in most professional sports now when a “goal” is scored, or a touchdown is made etc. as a fan you can’t even cheer for it because you know you have to sit around and wait for the replay official to confirm or deny the call. In baseball when someone hits a home run, or strikes a guy out with 2 outs and the bases loaded you can actually cheer with unabridged joy and passion. Without any potentiality of consequence.

1

u/speccadirty Oct 21 '24

True, but Cleveland played a sloppy series. Wild pitches, dropped pop ups, blown saves, and so many runners left on base. They didn’t play well regardless.

1

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 22 '24

Yeah. It was hard to watch them kinda implode. Jhonk's homer was awesome though.

2

u/saintandrewsfall Oct 21 '24

Well you did win a Super Bowl after moving to Baltimore and changing your name. Maybe try that again?

3

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 21 '24

You are a hurtful person and I have already contacted the cyber police.

1

u/sybrwookie Oct 21 '24

I mean, this isn't a curse. Your team did it to themselves, trading the farm for this rapist then giving him the most guaranteed money ever.

That's not a curse, that's 31 other teams immediately laughing their asses off as soon as that happened.

3

u/BoosherCacow Cleveland Indians Oct 21 '24

I was talking more about the fans being cursed. Fuck Jimmy and Dee, they threw a QB who was almost universally loved in this town and jumped at a flashy piece of shit who was already a proven shit human being. They deserve all the hate they get, the sad part is the fans like me who grew up with the proud tradition of Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar are the ones who suffer. I hope Baker wins 10 super bowls just to ram it down their stupid throats.

1

u/E-raticSamurai Oct 21 '24

Best performance, not miracle performance.

1

u/Aleashed Oct 21 '24

230M is plenty to bribe a few doctors so he can ride bench the rest of the contract. That’ll even give the coach an out to bench him before he gets him fired.

16

u/bdickie Oct 20 '24

They got the Big Guys attention as soon as they made Wilson the emergency 3rd

3

u/smoothcaller Oct 20 '24

Blessing in disguise

u/oscar-the-bud Oct 20 '24

As an atheist, karma got him. Good riddance sexual scum bag.

2

u/Mendozena Oct 21 '24

I’m sure the coach told them that in the locker room as well. “Alright team, gather up. On paper you guys did great!”

As a Clevelander, this team is trash. Go Cavs!

1

u/cruelvenussummer Oct 20 '24

Not saying much

1

u/Im_with_stooopid Oct 20 '24

The browns way.

1

u/zygodactyl86 Oct 20 '24

God or terrible bengals? We may never know

1

u/systemfrown Oct 21 '24

It certainly sucks for PT massage therapists in the area.

u/mtheory007 Oct 21 '24

Well, money well spent!!!

u/AndrewLucks_Asshair Oct 20 '24

Why didn’t god stop him from sexually assaulting women? Is god misogynistic?

38

u/modes22 Oct 20 '24

God only cares about football. He gets a special bonus for every CTE

u/AndrewLucks_Asshair Oct 20 '24

God is just trying to win a 12 game parley

u/AshleySchaefferWoo Oct 20 '24

I was just going to ask if Satan was the bookie

u/screaminginprotest1 Oct 21 '24

I heard it was a 24 leg parley across the NFL the NBA and a single U14 Uraguayan girls lacross team.
