DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2016 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 17 Bengals 31 Can We Win?

Well, it's a new week. Cincy has not played up to expectations or up to their talent. They've been missing last year's play makers and their defense hasn't been very stout.

Also, Burfict may be out too.

But, we have our own issues and they will be desperate most likely.

I originally thought this game would be a kill, but maybe we can keep it close

If Haden can play, he's been decent against AJ green.

However, the rest of the secondary is trash so, no.

I think geovani is gonna have a field day as he will be mainly used as a receiver. Our linebackers are too slow.

No we cannot win.

if we bet against...hehe

The Bengals haven't really been all that good this year. It's not as hard of a no as I think people believe.

I think if Burfict receives a suspension he will probably appeal and thus be able to play until the appeal is decided on. So he will probably play Sunday.

Yes we can. Will likely require a more or less flawless game across the board but yes we can.

Just saw on ESPN he won't get a ban

No. We cannot win.

I don't think Cincinnati is as bad as their record shows, but what does show, is how much the offense misses Hue and is trying to adjust. Still, I think Cincinnati handles us and tries to get back on track. I'm guessing LaFell will have a good game....he's been targeted quite a bit and our CB#2 is pretty bad no matter who it is. Haden would potentially limit Green's production since he has essentially owned him every game.

The only thing working in our favor is Hue's experience with the Bengals...how they game plan, their approach with certain players, past matchup planning against Cleveland, etc.

But the talent is favored in Cincinnati's direction and will ultimately be the main factor in the game.

Browns lose.

I think the Bengals really miss Marvin Jones, Sanu, and Eifert. They also lost Andre Smith on the OL and that has hurt them.

However, Poyer is out and I imagine that both Campbell and Kindred will man the two safety spots. Both are putrid in coverage and have no idea how to play the deep safety spot.

Probably going to see some long passes this week.

The Bengals have had some trouble stopping the run. Zeke killed them a couple of weeks ago and even Blount had a nice game against them. However, they will probably scheme to stop Crow....and make Kessler beat them. He should have opportunities.

We'll see what happens....

Any idea if Ed Reynolds can actually help?

I don't even know who he is. Is he a FS that was just signed or something like that?

No, even if Haden plays and has a stellar game, as he usually does, against Green.

If Cam Irving takes starter snaps, no.

Yeah, he was from Philly. Out of Stanford. Played last year quite a bit actually.

Can't be any worse than poyer.

Thanks for the info, but I don't know anything about him, so I can't comment on whether he will help or not.

No they are mad about losing to the Pats, they will take out their frustration on us.

Nope. Bengals tap dance on the Browns.

Pryor is dealing with hamstring issues and is missing practice today.

Cincinnati is really hard to judge right now. They beat crap teams and lost to great teams. That being said, the Browns fit the former. We lose.

It's not just that they lost to the Pats, they are 2-4.. the Steelers are losing Big Ben for a few weeks, the Ravens look mediocre.. this division is wide open and they are playing from behind.. If they aren't playing every game like their lives depend on it, then shame on them.

Our 1 win of the year, I'd prefer it to be against a division foe.


think we have a shot at winning any game, but the odds are against us.

Can we .. yes .. Bungles aren't that good .. this isn't last years team ..

They lost 3 HUGE OPTIONS for them on O .. Jones, Sanu and Eifert .. thats HUGE ..

Will we ... i doubt it ... especially if Pryor don't play ..

I usually have a good idea who i'm taking in my last man standings .. this week i will wait til the actives and inactives come out ..

I will take the bungles at least once .. could be 3 or 4 times (i have 6 teams left between 2 LMS) .. depending on how the injury reports break ..

I was taking GB .. with all their injuries .. NO WAY ..

AJ is a good match up for Haden .. AJ does n to have elite speed ..

THIS JUST IN ..

Vontaze Burfict - LB - Bengals
Bengals WLB Vontaze Burfict was carted off with an ankle injury at Wednesday's practice.
The cart was brought out as a precaution and the Bengals don't consider his injury serious. It's already been a turbulent week for Burfict, who was just hit with a $75,000 fine for stomping on LeGarrette Blount's leg in Week 6. We're guessing he'll be available Sunday when the Bengals host Cleveland.

This will IMPACT my lms pick .. *L* ..

Hell yes we can win and we will! Browns notch their 1st win of the season over the overated bengals 34-28. You gotta believe FELLAS, otherwise you need to root for a new team. Once you lose hope you're DONE! I certainly believe, DO YOU?

Am I being too forward to ask your age?

NO you are not. I am 55 years old, too early for the 64 champions, but I have been through redright88, the drive, the fumble and every snap in between all of those heartaches! I don't post much until somebody pisses me off but I do follow the board everyday just to get a pulse of other BROWNS FANS. I certainly don't know it all, but I like were we are headed with the new regime. We will win, its just a matter of time and I am certainly willing to wait, because I believe ,do You?

No.

I really hate when other posters tell me who to root for. Worry about yourself, pal!

NOT EVEN CLOSE ....

We always play them hard. Been doing it since Butch's days. Maybe took a few more L's with RAC and Pettine than wanted, but we usually split the series. I know Hue remembers when we played them hard, even if some of our fellow posters do. They're not playing well on offense, and it's not like Hue's unfamiliar with that team. I think we'll battle, as they say. I think we have a better shot than most.

The title of the thread is just a little bit misleading. The question of "can we win"? Well of course we "can". I mean, any given Sunday, right? I mean anything is possible, right? So can we win? Yes, it could happen. To say it's impossible would be wrong to say.

But the real question is, is it probable? The answer to that is no.

CHS, I would like to remind you that this exact same sentiment was used when when we played New England. Remember, we always play them hard? But not this year.

I do think it will be a fairly good game because so many of their O weapons are hurt. But I do think we need to stop fooling ourselves into thinking that this team has as much talent as it has had in years past.

While those teams in years past weren't the most talented, we have so many inexperienced players that this is a year of development and assessment more than anything else.

10-6

Yes, there is a chance we can win this (clears throat), but I don't know if Pryor is going to play or not for certain, so....... you know.

The deep end is deeper without him playin'. Hopefully he'll play.

P.S. GO TRIBE!!!!

when you lose hope and faith Mr. Hall of fame poster, its time to move in a different direction, that's all! Your negativity on this board is second to none and by the way, that is not a compliment.

I'm crushed!

Now, go clean your room.

NO SIR YOU DO IT FOR ME IM WAITING!
