This will be a great test for us in the trenches. We won yesterday's battle in the trenches, but this Cleveland team is far better in both areas so it will be a huge test.

Last year Browns swept Bengals, but Bengals went 4-2 in AFC North.   This year a Browns sweep puts Bengals 1-4 in the AFC North.  So GO BENGALS.  

You are not wrong for quickly mentioning the Browns game next week.  The difference between 1-4 and 2-3 is huge, and Browns have indeed taken Bengals to the wood shed last 4 or 5 years for a spanking.   Bengals must avoid being swept by The Browns again.

Maybe the Browns and/or the Steelers (x2) will surprise with a win over the Ravens.
Although if the Bengals continue to win, hopefully it's just the Falcons that get a win against the Ravens because f**k the Browns and Steelers lol.

We could lose to Cleveland and Baltimore lose to Pittsburgh but as long as we beat Baltimore coming up and don't drop anymore games we take the division.

The AFC North record does matter.  Bengals will not go to play-offs with a 1-5 record in their own division, and really they shouldn't make play-offs if they stink that bad in AFC North.

The AFC North record does matter.  Bengals will not go to play-offs with a 1-5 record in their own division, and really they shouldn't make play-offs if they stink that bad in AFC North.   So go out and beat Cleveland and climb to 2-3 in the AFC North with a chance to go 3-3 against Baltimore.  There should also be a matter of pride to the players on this.  Why would they want to stink and go 1-5 in the AFC North ?  

This thing that the Bengals can lose to Cleveland twice and still sneak into the play-offs, that stinks.  The only team getting clobbered every year by Cleveland is Cincinnati.  This Sunday Bengals need to end the domination Cleveland has had over Cincinnati the last 4 or 5 seasons.  Watson talk is just more excuses.  If Bengals can beat Chiefs 3 times in last 12 months, there is no reason to get swept by Browns who are not as good as the Chiefs.  

Get to 2-3 in AFC North and 9-4 on season, and don't sneak and crawl to play-offs.  kick the door in.  Let it be known the AFC Champion Bengals are ready for another Super Bowl run.  Do not get swept again by this losing record team in Cleveland.  Right now there are team playing great ball such as 49ers and Cowboys, but Bengals are playing great ball also, but not if they get swept by Cleveland.
