Since week 6 last season the Bengals are 14-3 - BurrowTheGoat - 09-11-2023
Those 3 losses are:
-Stomped by Browns in Cleveland
-Close loss to KC in AFCCG
-Stomped by Browns in Cleveland
Its so strange how much the Browns have our number.

We do matchup pretty badly with them... certainly proves the trenches really matter.
But it is very concerning that the coaching staff haven't formulated a better plan against these guys. It's only been 4 years, and it surely isn't a shock to the team when we see two games against the Browns on the schedule...
Does happen in sports though, some teams just have your number. Gotta hope these guys continue to be nowhere near the playoffs!

We shall see. I'll admit it was easier to say they'll be a 5 win team when they had QBs and HCs who had no history of being anywhere close to competent. I won't crown 'em, but expecting them to just suck because they're the Browns is the same lazy thinking that had people saying Burrow would demand a trade and/or be destroyed here because we're the Bengals.

Burrow just looked so bad in this game that I think it produces questions:
1 ) Is he still injured?
2 ) Is his mechanics/form off?

Here's a better stat for you:
Cincinnati has now lost 5 games by more than 3 points since the start of 2021.
Four came against the Browns by 5, 19, 21 and 25.

And the 5 game was Brandon Allen and an entire roster of backups against each and every starter on the Browns, save for Chubb.
Had Chase played the whole game, we probably would've won it too.

The Browns' identity is the antithesis of the Bengals.
Power running, fantastic OL, and an aggressive, defense.
The best way to beat the Browns is to get an early lead and force them to pass.
They don't have the best passing offense, and it would have been compounded by the weather.
If they get up on a team, they'll grind down the clock on offense, and their great pass rush is primed for a team trying to come from behind, especially one with a questionable pass-blocking OL.

I feel like playing aggressive is how to beat their defense too. Play man coverage, we go 1on1 with great play design.
Instead we dinked and dunked and let all their guys tackle us short.

IF there was a stunner, it was that we never adjusted from the 5 yards or less pass game.

How are you going to go 1 on 1 when you have subpar (to put it nicely) pass blockers?
I saw something on Twitter saying the Browns were getting to Burrow on an average of about 1.92 seconds.
You have to go shorter routes or you'll see 5+ sacks on the QB.

Much like the Bengals historically, the Browns are very much a 'I'll believe it when I see it' Franchise. They had that good year recently when Baker Mayfield and the team kicked the crap out of the Steelers in the playoffs, and they only just lost to the Chiefs in the division round. That definitely looked like a Browns team taking a step, but they haven't been back (or been close) since I don't think.

They also make up 36% of our 11 losses in those two years
