I think this is the game that breaks our back. I truly believe that we will lose to Cinci.

I don't see that it matters any.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Games wont matter, so we’ll be loose and play well (like the end of last year against weak opponenets)
Browns 30 Bengals 18
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I think this is the game that breaks our back. I truly believe that we will lose to Cinci. I share your dread. Dalton is back and has some things to prove. Bengals are developing an actual running game. Their D has been pretty decent the last three games. Bengals current talent level is roughly comparable to the Steelers' talent level, albeit without the tradition and culture and pride that Pittsburgh has. The Browns made stupid decisions and laid down for a beating in Pittsburgh. The Browns could easily underestimate the Bengals and do the same thing again. Here's to a 6-10 season record. Sigh.... :-(

Nothing is ever easy for us, but we simply can't lose a home game to a 1-11 team. Browns win 31-13.

Depends on which Browns team shows up. The Browns team that beat PIT would crush CIN. The Brows team that lost to PIT could easily get bounced and trounced.
tossup for me.

The Browns have played down to "lesser" teams All year. The defense has no pass rush. The offensive "genius"Kitchens can't even find a proper run pass balance LT is a real weak spot. Oh yeah Carlos Dunlap feasted on the Jets last week. John Ross is back too.

I believe we will be able to squeak by 19-16 since we are at home.
We will lose to them at their place of course.
These are just a group of arrogant individuals and not a team.
No leadership anywhere.
God hates the Browns, but my love will sadly not fade away.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

I see us bouncing back and winning vs Cinci. I think it'll be a close game, though... closer than it should be.
I think we'll split with the Bengals, though... but the loss will be in their house.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

17-14 Bengals.
I honestly see our offense struggling and see this as the game that OBJ and Jarvis lose it as far as their demeanor goes.
The wheels on the bus go...…...Crashing down.

I'll say this. We'll have entered a new level of terrible when our coaches are fired after Bengals losses instead of Steeler losses.

It doesn't matter. Nothing to play for. Players know it too. They also know they are playing for an organization who just cut a guy who lost his girlfriend tragically for some other team's JAG. True f'ing story. The guy may not have been the best player but he was a great glue guy. That's got to count for something right?
But these are the types of teams Baker plays well against (anyone notice his best game was against the Dolphins?). Baker the pretender may be able to overcome the ineptitude of the organization and help the team win.
Win, lose, who cares. But for those that firmly want Freddie gone, you should root for a loss. Freddie is not for sure coming back. These last four games will be a deciding factor.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

He played well against the Ravens (this year and last, if memory serves).
He played well vs Steelers round 1 (their offense is 3rd string, but their D is tops in the league).
People trying to boil down this season to one person (whether it be Baker, Freddie, OBJ, homeless guy, etc) are silly.

Oh, it's not one person but if anyone is under the illusion we've found the franchise QB, that's just not true. That's what I'm angry about. Question marks at coach and QB again. We were supposed to be past this.

I think the Browns will win, but I'm concerned about pass protection. The Carlos Dunlap vs Chris Hubbard matchup is a worry. DT Geno Atkins and RDE Sam Hubbard are both pretty good too. Dust off the screen pass and draw play, and please, no empty sets because those guys will tee off.

Other teams lick their chopps whenever they see us go empty backfield.

I would not be surprised if the Browns lost.
I can see a lot of players checking out for a myriad of reasons.

We were supposed to be past this. Oh I’m all in on Baker as our franchise QB and i don’t know that I’ve said that about any QB we’ve trotted out there. What Baker needs IMO is a coach who is tough, disciplined, and would help mold him in to a true professional in the likes of Brees or Brady. Instead we have a HC who wants to be one of the cool kids. Fix the HC and you’ll fix the QB.

We're going to somehow find a way for this game to end in a tie after jumping out to a comfortable early lead.

I think it all depends on how the team responds from losing last week and having no real shot at the playoffs now. If they haven't given up I see us destroying Cincy but if they have given up then I see Cincy winning.

There's still a shot at the playoffs.
Can't see them giving up.
If anything, the Bengals got their win, now they just have to go thru the motions to get to the end of the season.
This should be reminiscent of the Bengals-Browns game last season.

Browns lay down for both Cinci games. Handing them the wins. In turn handing the Dolphins Joe Burrow. Short term Browns pain for a decade of not facing Burrow twice a season. Our losses are our win.
That said... Browns roll the Bengals this season. Then struggle against them for the next decade. Because Browns.

If the Bengals get Burrow, and thus the Steelers turn into the cellar dwellers for the next 10 years that's ok with me.
