Ok ok, there's really not much to talk about, Dalton may throw 8 TD's on Thursday night. Hayden will be out with a concussion and that's pretty much about all they have.

I know, Battle of Ohio, throw the records out the door, don't sleep on the Browns and whatever other cliche' that's out there that can be said. I'm sorry, the Browns don't or shouldn't have a chance in this game on Thursday night.

This is the perfect game for the Bengals Offense to take out some frustration on the Browns not only from last years arse whooping the Browns put on the Bengals but the frustration of coming out flat against the Steelers after the Bye.

Too early after the win today? Probably but I'm ready for Thursday in Prime Time to make a statement.

Let's go Bengals!

WHO-DEY!!!

I love the enthusiasm, but here is a dose of reality:

The Bengals just played an incredibly physical game against the steelers.

Last year, after an incredibly physical game against the steelers, they looked flatter than a pancake at Indianapolis.

The Browns do have talent, but they can't seem to finish games.  They were up on AZ by 10 points in the second half.  If they get out to a lead on a primetime game, their energy will soar.

The Bengals are clearly the better team, but they can't afford to fall behind early again.  I'm hoping for a lot of power running with Hewitt blocking and Hill pounding.  Take some shots off play-action and play the same great defense they played yesterday.

Someone also needs to tie Brandon Tate to the goalpost so he doesn't do stupid returns from 8 yards deep and make it to the 10 yard line. 

I'm so glad Burfict his back, even in a reduced role.  He is a Brown killer, and I think his energy and toughness are infectious.
