Did anyone watch the game last night? @spindoc @oldgrappler @mcpapa @bugatti @TheDeuce @Jumper_Dad @MJAlltheWay24 @The Raven @CincySportsFan @All State Baseball @DragonFire @futurecoach @Voice of Reason @REALSPORT @ChickenWyngz @PurplePride92 @HoopJunkie @nkypete  @nees1212 

One thing at the start of the game, a Browns' fan smashed a Steely McBeam guitar and as someone that once lost a bet to @spindoc and had a Steely McBeam avatar for a month it made me jump up off the couch in protest, lol.

I thought the Browns were the better team putting them and the Ravens at the top of the division now and the Steelers and the Bengals at the bottom of the division.

I did have a few minor hiccups with the Amazon Prime broadcast last night but I will say beyond that the picture quality may have been the best picture I have ever seen on my 75inch Samsung TV, it was very dynamic and as crisp as anything I have ever see, nearly perfect!

I think Trubisky is a very solid backup QB in the NFL but I think the Steelers need to go ahead and start Kenny Pickett and use 2022 as preparation for the future.

I thought Jacoby Brissett turned in a solid performance and, Nick Chubb, wow, what a beast!

Anyone have any thoughts on any of this or the game?

I didn’t watch the game but I believe that may have been Donovan Mitchell who smashed the guitar.  I just saw a clip of him smashing a guitar before the game.  He was just traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers a couple of weeks ago.

This game didn’t interest me at all other than my small bets on who would score the first touchdown.  None of them hit.  ?

I watched maybe half the game... ready to see Kenny Pickett play. Cleveland is clearly better across the board. Oh yeah, and Herbstreit provides nothing to an NFL broadcast.

Has anyone tried the alternate broadcast with the stats? It is too much for me. Give me the traditional coverage.

I figured it was a celebrity on McBeam but if you ask me that kind of thing motivates the visitors more than the Browns.

Agree on Pickett obviously and I enjoy Herbstreit much more on College Football broadcasts, his way of commentating a game just doesn't jive with me on a one off each week in a new environment.

No, I don't want all those stats, I want to watch the game without using that part of my brain.

I watched the game.  And PP92 is correct, it was Donovan Mitchell that smashed the guitar.  I guess that's a new Browns thing.  They smash a guitar decked out with the opposing teams decal before every game.

That catch by Pickens was unreal.  I'm curious on the ball he was throw in the endzone, if he would have caught it had he attempted to with two hands?

Brisset played very well.

What do you all think of that elf logo at midfield?

This game was interesting down the stretch from a fantasy perspective.  In my league, the guys that have Chubb and Hunt were playing each other.  Hunt has two redzone rushing attempt and gets it to the one, only to have Chubb come in and punch it threw.  That's a 12 point swing.

And then the last play of the game with the Browns picking up a defensive TD and Najee Harris losing points on the fumble.

Or if someone had the over?!? lol

Just read that last night was the first time since 2013, that a Brown WR had back to back 100 yard receiving games.

Agree on Pickens, that was unreal and I am not a fan of the elf at all. 

I watched virtually the entire game.  I thought it was a fairly pedestrian game.  The Browns have basically played an uninspiring style of game for years.  It is effective and successful, but doesn't always translate into a really enjoyable "watch".  I was impressed with Brissett's performance.  I traded Amari Cooper during the offseason in my contract league because I didn't think he'd be very useful with Brissett and it was the last year I was going to have him.  I'm regretting it - Cooper has looked good the last two games and Brissett effective enough.  The Browns should be 3-0 if Chubb knew how to fall down before the goalline against the Jets.

Trubisky is dreadful.  I thought he'd be able to do some things but he is killing the Steelers.  I agree with the sentiment that they need to go ahead and put Pickett out there.  No sense in wasting the year for him.  Especially as playoff aspirations seem to be dimming for Pittsburgh.

I've been a big fan of the Amazon broadcast.  One thing I love is that generally when I'm watching on streaming services, my feed is way behind the actual action.  Consequently I get texts or alerts about what happens before I see it.  That hasn't been happening to me with Amazon.  And the picture is fantastic.  I love Al Michaels, and Herbstreit is fairly inoffensive.  But I do think he is better for the college game.  He reminds me of guys like Charles Barkley when they get brought into do the college game when they're used to pros.  They're perfectly competent, but you can just tell there's something off. 

No Prime. No watch. 

I am probably going to do a 30 day free trial on Prime so I can watch the Bengals next Thursday. Then I'll cancel the trial after the game.

Turned it on when I got home last night.  Realized I hated both teams with a passion, so I changed the channel.  Lol.

When you get the free trial you should think about ordering some items from Amazon.  You may find that you REALLY like it, I know I do.

 Retail merchandisers hate me. I just don't buy stuff until it is an absolute necessity. And I definitely buy stuff I can touch and feel versus looking at it on a computer screen.
