Week 7: Browns (4-2) @ Bengals (1-4-1)... The 2020 Battle of Ohio, Part Deaux Thread

[BrownsfaninPa]

It's that classic match up once again of the right to say we are the better team than our cross state rivals. Between the Browns and the Bengals it's always a toss up on who will get a victory when these teams meet. I have always like this state and divisional rival. Cleveland from the north, and Cincinnati from the south. Dawgs vs Cats. Good old classic football. Time for a win Browns.

Green and Boyd come alive in our anemic back 4.

Our first AFCN rematch...

How much has Cinci improved? How much have we?

Will we be closer to full strength? At the least our initial injury report looks "hopeful"...

... as does CIN's excepting Mixon.

Here are the teams' IR Lists. The last column are the weeks of the 2020 season each player is expected to be on IR.

Chubb isn’t expected back until week 14? I thought I read his was expected back after the bye week?

And the Tuesday lines Cleveland is a 3.5 to 3 point road favorite at Cincinnati.  For all your WEEK 7 lines see....  https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/

3 to 6 weeks was the official timing I heard initially... and I've heard nothing different.

I believe since his IR designation includes a return, he has to return by Week 14 or not at all this season.

First practice report... ours looks much as it did last week.

[Tour2ma]

And updated injury reports...

The bye week can't come fast enough for the Browns

You hate to see every game become a must win games but beating Cincinnati sure would be nice and be at 5-2 before welcoming in the Raiders into Cleveland.

I don't want a "good game". I want to relax and enjoy a blowout.

Unfortunately I feel this one going down to the wire. A nail biter.

Gorka...I fear that you totally crushed it. I would love nothing more than to watch us absolutely beat the monkey snot out of the Bengals, but this is going to be a battle royale. I wouldn't be surprised if we got down early and then stormed back.

We're going to stomp the Bengals.

There's a part of me that agrees. I can totally envision a scenario where we lay the WOOD to Cincy. Burrow is a rookie, time to beat him down like a clown. He's good, he's going to get better...and yes...I'm completely jealous that Cincy drafted my favorite QB prospect since Andrew Luck, but hey...for now...he's a rookie. Pulverize him.

I'd have to disagree early T. Were starting off better than last week's "0n the practice field".... Ogun & Vernon don't show-up at all on the list.. Ronnie Harrison & Joseph at least practicing is a good sign..How bad is Sendejo's shin? More reps for Ronnie Harrison at FS, please! We swap Tae Davis back in for J.Phillips, whom both were out last week...Hoping to see Wyatt Teller taking some reps next week ?.... from cbs, 2 hours ago, Stump say Nick Chubb is on track https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/browns-nick-chubb-recovery-progressing-on-track/  imho, that dawg ain't waiting until mid Nov....

I expect most will play.. We should come out fired up and angry...

Teller still out for now. I honestly haven't seen a calf strain take longer than a couple weeks, but whatever. Hubbard will get his ass blown apart by Geno Atkins. We SHOULD be able to run the ball effectively, and that's going to save our asses. 

[TexasAg1969]

Joe Mixon is ruled OUT for the game.

[Tour2ma]

Today's report...

Hooper's OUT... appendix.
