Bet Bengals

Because of injuries our coaches in some instances were playing players they just signed and in both games we still almost beat the Browns. Football is not all about talent alone. NFL players are all really talented players. Some players ability fits better in not only the rights scheme but also the right coaching. Apparently Turner's style of coaching did not mesh with the players he was coaching. Hopefully Pollack's style is more accepted and yields better results. Anarumo was coaching some guys who did not fit his system as well. The old square peg round hole adage. This year there should be no excuses for ZT and Anarumo and I am betting we will see very competitive football. I see us 5-1 in our division with the only loss coming at Baltimore. I know you will think that is crazy but as of right now I am not right or wrong. Time will tell.

The difference between good teams and bad teams is that the good teams win games that they almost lose... Making a crucial play at a crucial moment. The bad teams lose games that they had a chance to win..
The former example could be seen in the second Browns game. The latter example was basically every game the Bengals lost in 2020... Minus the thrashings we took from Baltimore.

Pains me to say it, but the Browns are better than the Bengals, and it isn't particularly close either.
