    Its pretty bad when we have to find positives within negatives bro...

    But if there is two positives that can be taken from the negatives it is definitely that our defense is for real minus being short one good CB and one good FS..

    And we have a real true AFCN style smashmouth running game...

    Unfortunately thats all we have and without getting the WRs into the game our excellent running game will be shut down and we cannot win....

    The ratbirds exploited a weakness last week and palmer is most certainly going to exploit it...even if we dont blitz its still available all day in 2 flavors...

    How else do you find positives when seraching for them? Within other positives?

    It sure hasn't been too often that we stopped any back from putting up 100+ on us. Game after game we made the weakest backs look great ... but now we are keeping things under-wraps, which also means that teams no longer have big leads and just run the ball to watch the clock tick (Hey look, another positive!).

    We haven't had anyone run the ball this hard and fight for each and every yard, since Leroy Hoard.

    Coming into the season all we had was Cribbs and his punt/kick returns. Now our O-line is being mentioned as one of the top groups in the NFL, and we have such as Hillis being listed among the top in their position even if for the week.

    We had a weak spot last game, and already have a high draft pick that looks great so far, waiting in the wings at the same position and isn't being rushed in to be the saviour. Not to mention that in six career games against the Bengals, Eric Wright has recorded one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and seven passes defensed ... and will be facing Palmer again who hasn't looked all that precision as billed. Could be a great rebound game for Wright.

    We have a three-headed football executive squad managing our team now, where Haden (good prospect waiting in the wings), Hillis (Free agent pick-up by the new staff, and Mack (drafted to compliment one of the best leftsides of the line in the NFL) ... we won't even mention the LB & DT acquisitions that have been the staple in not allowing a rushing TD or 100yr gainer the past five games.

  • GIPS won't be happy until the coaching staff is fired. c'mon when are you going to admit that WE ARE BETTER even if the record doesn't show it? don't worry, be happy! πŸ™‚

    Look for the first time since 99 we actually have competent management...................and the weakest link is the so called President of making sure he gets all the credit

    Heckert and Mangini..........and co good job

    Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

  • The Bengals RB's rushed for 115 and 184 last year against us. That is the bad news!

    The good news is they put up 142 and 146 last year in two games vs. the Ravens but only 94 this year.

    Our streak of less then 100 rushing yards per games might just continue.

    If the defense forces Palmer to try to beat us we will win this game.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Palmer has always been over-rated and he flat out sucks right now. I honestly expect the Browns to win this game in convincing fashion.

    You can get that feeling that our first win is going to be over the Who-Dat this Sunday (Oops! I meant the Who-days). We have a stomping run game, a OL that's comming together, a defense that keeps us in the game in the 4th qtr. Negatives, sure we have them but a win this week will not be that big of a surprise.

    ryan needs to run fewer safety blitzes this week if we are going to win.

    Either that or we need to get to palmer when they are called. having benard back might help

  • I like the positive attitude Stan but until we get some wins we're still losers. You know the old saying "almost doesn't count".

  • Browns will win Sunday, it's a total trap game for the Bengals.

  • Mangini is going to breathe some fire under the players asses and after week 6 we will be 3-3.

    Head or Gut?

    I wouldn't say Palmer has always been overrated, but you can sure make the case he hasn't been the same QB since Von Cheapshotten took out his knee in that playoff game. The Bungle crowd has certainly been concerned about his performance so far this year.

    Key- get pressure on him early and often- something we've yet been able to do.

    No way is this a "trap" game for the Bengals- they've progressed far beyond that.
