You know we're bad when even the Browns have the confidence to beat us.

He's probably right, however, this game is now the one I want the Bengals to win more than any other. It would be great if they went out and stomped the Browns without AJ but I doubt it's going to happen. The Browns are trending UP and the Bengals are trending DOWN but all the games the Bengals have lost, outside of the Ravens game, have been to superior teams who are way ahead of every one else in the league. Hopefully Hue talks Marvin into concentrating on the run tomorrow to take the ball out of Nick Chubb and Baker Mayfield's hands. I can easily see Mayfield run for 70+ yards on this defense.

We lost to an amazing Saints squad and lost a squeaker to the Ravens, who started a rookie QB who can run (Marv seems to struggle with both).
This doesn't mean we're definitely going to lose (let alone get crushed) by this Browns team. We are all rightfully down on the Bengals, but in the end they've won more games this year than the Browns have won in the last 3.

Baker ain't that dude. He ran a 4.84 forty and has 111 rush yards in 8 games.
Basically, he's Andy Dalton (4.82 forty) as far as athleticism.
