Let's face it the Browns are just a bad match up for the Bengals.
Their strength is our weakness on both sides of the ball. Granted our D-Line is hurting with the loss of Reader but it wouldn't matter. Our D-line is built more to stop the pass so good running teams have their way. Luckily the league is more pass happy so the match ups work in our favor most of the time.
It's all about match ups. Some teams just have your number and this current Browns team owns the current Bengals. Unlike the Ravens RPO trickery they play a smash mouth running attack. Something we don't do well against.

“Granted our D-line is hurting with the loss of Reader”? You might be surprised how much of an impact the best nose tackle in the league can have in a game like this.A guy of his caliber can also help make things easier for the linebackers,as he draws double teams to slow him down.
I feel he could have been a difference maker in this game.Not saying we would have won because of him,but think it could have been different.
