Sweet we could move to 2nd place in the division if we can beat the Ravens on Sunday.

Wow. I underestimated how terrible that Bengals offense is.
AJ Green & Eifert- that's about it.

Even the one great catch by Green was in triple coverage and more often than not it's gonna be intercepted. And in the redzone he kept locked on Green in double coverage, never looking for a better alternative from the getgo. Looked like a rookie QB.

ONE MAN'S OPINION FRIDAY EDITION - ORIGINAL BROWNS vs NEW BROWNS 2017 G1
There is not a single above average player at the skill positions. That’s true for Cleveland – and Baltimore. The Browns have the better offensive line, too, thanks to Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas and the additions of guard Kevin Zeitler and center J.C. Tretter. Baltimore’s retooled defense does look strong. Shutting out Cincinnati on the road opening week is impressive.
But the Ravens’ defense can’t carry such a weak offense when an inflated spread is involved like it is for this division matchup. Joe Flacco is working his way back from skipping preseason. He might be missing running back Danny Woodhead, who suffered a hamstring injury this past Sunday. The Ravens are 8-1 SU the past nine times hosting the Browns, but only 5-4 ATS. The Browns are improved from those sad sack past editions.
This is rookie DeShone Kizer’s first road game. He’s far more athletic than recent Cleveland QB disasters such as Brandon Weeden, Brady Quinn and Cody Kessler. Kizer also isn’t afraid to take shots downfield unlike previous Browns dink-and-dunk passers. Isaiah Crowell is the best runner on either team. Kizer can rely on Crowell to ensure the Ravens at least respects Cleveland’s ground attack.....So?
What do you mean so, take CLE +9 and run with it!
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
the Bengals have not scored a TD in 2 games now to start the season. I'm not saying Dalton has ever been elite but that's gotta be a huge concern in Bengal land right now.

Watching Ben do it with Ant Brown(5'10).Seems like a weekly high point the ball play, With height or vertical jump? AJ(6'4",got us many times),Julio(6'3").Hopkins(6'1"),OBJ(5'11) in all shapes & sizes too..I know you like Kirk at 5'10", but whats your early thoughts of SMU-Courtland Sutton at 6'4"? another big name in top 25 is Calvin Ridley, that I have not seen..
-
Courtland is not a superfast WR like some of the others, so it depends on what you're looking for. Kirk is going to be more like some of those NE receivers that can get open using their quickness and run best ATC in the open field. Ridley is just another fine receiver out of Bama. I could live with either pick after we get our "Zeke".
Edit: Interesting that Walterfootball has us taking them this way as well (found after my comment)

Those last gasp passes in their last real possession were nowhere near their targets. Just when the situation called for aggressive, "nothing to lose" play, the ginger went conservative.
Not long to AJ time...

Saw him in their opener and thought, "Cooper V2.0"... ten or twenty pounds lighter, but still growing.

HOU @ CIN (-6.5) Thu 09-14 7:25 PM
Prediction: HOU 27 CIN 13
FINAL: HOU 13 CIN 9 - W/W
Bit off in the finer points, but a win is a win...

Or...tied for first.....if they win....and the Vikings beat Pittspuke...which is highly possible.

Well....I would certainly rate Flacco "above average" when compared to all the other QBs in the league.

Or not...given how piss poor Cincy's offense is. But...I guess any shutout has to be given credit.

+9? Yea, someone is smoking something. If you are anywhere near Vegas....put money on that.

Yup. Red rifle more like water gun. That throw on 4th down was to who exactly? Haha.
It looks like the Bungles are once again the Bungles. Not many QB's have the wits to throw the ball away on 4th down to avoid the INT. Marvin Lewis' picture is in the dictionary under "Deer-in-the-headlights."
