    Not many teams can win with the offense having the ball only 22 minutes. O turnovers and minimal penalties good enough to win. To bad defense took the day off. wtf

      I wonder if the absence of Fujita also played a huge part.

      Considering that Trusnik got trapped inside and the guy in Fujita's place failed to set the edge time after time....I'd say you're right.

        Our D has been getting pushed around all season, but that was one of the worst performances i've seen so far.

        We only forced one punt the entire game- and that was in the 4th quarter! What a joke.

        Unfortunately for us, i think Rob Ryan just flunked a major HC audition.

          getting away from all the Ryan talk (I do agree he did a terrible job today), it should be very clear that outside of WR the biggest need for this team is DL help. Almost every run our guys were getting literally man-handled. I'm too lazy to look it up but i'd love to see the YPC for the bengals. I'd have to guess it'd be around 5 or 6, which is just unacceptable. It's a bad loss, but hopefully this off-season we can shore up that line cause we need MAJOR upgrade.

          TOP speaks the story of the game, plain and simple.

            The bungals owned our defense today any way you want to slice it or dice it, the whole team looks like its letting up as the season winds down...

            We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

              Remember this game when discussing first-round picks. I've believed for a long time the first-round need is DL not WR.

              I'd much rather see Fairley or Dareus in brown and orange.. we can pick up Baldwin from Pitt in round 2.

                I was thinking that the team was playing the way they were because they new that changes were coming... Who knows.. But our D was horrible.

                  Anyone coming into Free Agency that would be a good potential pick up.

                    This is supposed to be a very good draft for DL and WR so hopefully we can get one of each. If I had to choose I would go DL first.

                    We are also missing robaire smith along with fujita, both are very good against the run.

                      Yes, the fact is our entire D-Line and Linebacking corps, to me, seem like a bunch of ham and eggers. That is, they are just mediocre as hell.

                      There is no Urlacher type, or Ray Lewis type, or Clay Matthews III type, or....dare I say, no James Harrison type. there will be occasional flashes, but overall they are too mediocre.

                      So, do we really think the guys that were missing yesterday are all that significant: Bowens, Fujita.....even count D'Qwell Jackson if he is still even on the roster?

                        We had that great UFO defense but all the aliens got called home to plan the invasion of Uranus.
