Another Ohio battle.  But the Browns have already lost the war.

Key stat:  Bengals are the #1 passing team in the league.  Lucky thing because they're 30th in rushing.  And we rush for one more yard per game than they do.  🙂 

Our passing yardage stats have risen to the point that we're 13th in passing.  The problem is, we pass it to guys that run in either direction.  We're freakin' minus 16 in turnovers.  Translation, we lose the turnover battle in every game we play (statistically speaking).  

Both teams are pretty lousy against the run.  We're not bad against the pass but we'll be torched by them through the air I'm certain.

They're not a great sacking team...but we give up 4 sacks per game.  

Is it April yet?

he's getting #1 team reps and I also hope he plays out the season.  He needs a fair evaluation.

DTR to start. We all know he's not the answer. 

Yeah, we're pretty sure that he's not the answer....but Winston has been around for 10 years...every team in the league knows that he's not the answer.  IMO we should've been playing DTR several games before now.  The brain-trust has been holding on to him like he's about to turn into gold.  So let's get him out there so that he can prove to them that he's not going to be turning into gold.  Too bad there's only 3 games left because I'm not sure that's enough time to get him out of their system.

Well, we might be able to pass some.  They're statistically not too good on D...and worse against the pass.  And they're not a big sacking team.  DTR will have a few days working with the starters.  Hopefully he stays at QB for the remainder of the season.

I do hope that I'm wrong.

DTR had trouble in the past pushing the ball down the field.  He seemed to improve somewhat this pre-season.  But we've seen him play well in the pre-season before and not put up in regular season.  Like you said, he's getting #1 team reps and I also hope he plays out the season.  He needs a fair evaluation.

Brownies will have difficulty dealing with the quick passing game of Cincy like everyone else has all year.   

If the weather is cold but clear - Over 47.  

Edit:  injury report dependent - CIN -6.5
