volcom69 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I just wanna know how Watson is still a QB in this league this year! With that said no better time to get the monkey known as the Browns off there back. Go beat this team by 40 and move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Cats open as 4.5 point favorites. So a little bit better than home field advantage but not much. Probably about right given their struggles beating the Clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Vegas might be anticipating a little let down energy. Nice opportunity to follow the sustained Chiefs streak with a snapped Browns unstreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Supposedly the Texans/Browns game set football back a few years. Time to end the Burrow winless talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Gotta say, I am nervous about this one. IMHO this is the biggest game of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 The last meeting Browns had some key 3rd downs on offense that gave them ability to feed Chubb. The past 2 meetings that meant something it seems the Browns have dictated tempo/physical to the Bengals. Bengals O-line needs some redemption in this one.

ArmyBengal Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I don't think there will be a letdown. This whole team seems to be in sync with what Zac Taylor was saying in his press conference: "We didn't win a division championship today, we didn't win a conference championship, we just won a game, in early December, and we still have a long way to go and we got Cleveland coming into our house next week". It's that mindset that I think is going to keep things going well. This is where Zac shines as a coach in my opinion. He finds a way to not only motivate the team and push them to execute at a high level, but keeps them grounded. I don't care what happened in the first game, what Burrow's record has been against the Browns, or any of the other nonsense that makes little to no difference. Just go be 1-0 against the Browns after this coming Sunday and then move on. Don't make this more than it is. I won't be at the Browns game, but if I were, I would start up a chant every time Watson took the field. "HE TOUCHED ME, HE TOUCHED ME, HE TOUCHED ME" !!! Someone please make that happen.

membengal Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Let down? Against the team burrow has never won against? If anything, the bengals have this one highlighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Gotta win at least 3 of the next 5, and the best chances of that happening are at home. Cleveland's D gives the Bengals' fits, so Taylor & Lou have to do something different vs them and figure it out. And the Begals' D has to come-up with a way to contain Chubb. Hopefully with Reader back, they can make that more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 We don’t control for first seed / even if we win 5 of 5 still need KC to lose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Yeah as much as I don't want to see them in Arrowhead yet again, the AFC South and West are f'ing garbage divisions (which I think makes KC look better than they actually are, why the Bengals' have beaten them 3 times in a row). Only 2 teams across those 2 divisions with winning records (KC, Tenn), and the Bengals' beat both of them yet again. KC's remaining schedule is a virtual cake walk, all losing teams except Seattle. Seattle and the Raiders are probably their toughest opponents remaining, unless the Chargers have anything left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Raiders are not a cakewalk. Showing real signs of life now. The broncos and Texans are clearly three east wins for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 nah they did what they needed to do when they needed to do this. Look aside from drafting Jackson Carman instead of Creed Humphrey, Duke Tobin and company have been nearly spotless in managing this team's roster.

ArmyBengal Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I swear sometimes I get some of my best work done after hours or when no one expects me to be there. Not surprised to hear these guys taking advantage of the time to do things at their pace, as opposed to the structure that can come in the job. As a fan, you have to love what this team has going on AS A TEAM !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
