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.

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

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.

Joe Mixon is ruled OUT for the game.

Was Greedy Williams brought out back of the Berea Training Facility and put out of his misery? ?

Getting concerned about Teller. I haven't had a calf strain that lasted much longer than 3 weeks, and I had some bad ones during bball days.

How bad could this be? Was it the hat throw that did him in??

So how did Mixon get a TD if he's out?  LOL!?

Looking at both teams' roster, Browns should win this in a blow out. By 20 or more. I'm thinking 34-10 or so. I know, any given Sunday and all that, but this team handled a decent Colts team with relative ease. Then they ran into a buzzsaw in Pitt, but Cinci ain't no Pitt.

Burrow hasn’t thrown a TD in two games but the Browns secondary could be the cure for that... just hope they come out pissed off and rip off a bunch of points early and take them out if the game early.... don’t need a close game...

That's actually pretty huge, Texas. He's been a substantial thorn in our side lots of times and just having him out completely changes their offensive strategy. They don't have a Kareem Hunt on their roster, and Bernard can do only so much. 

Cincy was up 24-0 against the Colts last week and they lost. That almost NEVER happens in the NFL and the biggest reason Cincy lost is because Mixon hurt his foot around half time and it totally changed the game. They couldn't run the ball any more and Indy makes it very hard to pass because they have a solid front 4 and they don't blitz. 

We have a solid front 4 and we don't blitz. We also have our nickel stud back, Kevin Johnson. That will change EVERYTHING. Remember them picking on Tavierre Thomas literally every 3rd down? They were something like 10-11 targeting him for 8 first downs. That's just dumb. Lol. 

Oh yeah, get ready for more deep shots today. We actually had OBJ in single coverage multiple times down the field but we literally didn't have time to even THINK about throwing it. I can guarantee they saw the tape, saw the opportunities, and every effort will be made to take chances down the damn field. Even if it's not complete, you get a chance for a giant penalty, and you also keep the defense honest. Right now defenses are cheating up and compressing the field too much. Spread that shit out.
