I have this sneaking feeling that this is going to be a wild, high-scoring game. I am most concerned that it's going to be a signature game for Mayfield-- the Bengals seem to be one of the best teams in the league at giving emerging start a big coming-out party (from Favre to Priest Holmes all the way to....Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson...)
Not having AJ hurts but if there is ever a time for John Ross to have a true breakout game, it's this one. I think Boyd will ball out and Uzomah will have a couple of big catches. Who knows with Mixon-- could run for 150 yards or 42. The hope is that the Bengals D starts truly rounding back into form today; there was some progress last week but we're going to need some aggressive and smart play to counter Mayfield and Chubb.
For whatever reason, OSUs destruction of Michigan yesterday has left me kind of meh about this game. I’m sure I’ll complain about something here during the game, but overall football 2018 has already rewarded me.

Have they fitted AD for a suit of armor?

I guess the only question is will they have 9, 10 or 11 in the box.

Well, for the first time in a LONG time, I'm CHOOSING not to watch the game today. Taking the wife to see Wreck It Ralph 2. I still expect the Bengals to win though I still expect the defense to make the Browns think they have a chance.
Let’s see if Fisher has shown any improvement under Pollack.
He has a bad habit of ducking his head when he engages and I’ve seen several Dline man just smack him in the back of the head and he falls face first into the turf. If Pollack only fixed that one thing, I’ll be happy.

Looking forward to the experience and hoping for a victory over Cleveland!
Well just declare the season over then announce this team is going to the Super Bowl, and it’ll be like you’ve been here for years.
