We have not swept the Browns since 2011, and one of those wins in '11 was on a last second FG.  If we don't win that one then it would have been 6 years since we swept the Browns.

Austin Davis started 8 games for the Rams last year and posted a passer rating of 98 or better in 4 of them.  He threw for 375 yrds and 3 tds against the Eagles and 327 yards and 3 tds against the Cowboys.

If Eifert and a bunch of our DBs are out then we could easily lose this game

While you make some good points these are different teams as GCB says.

The Browns cannot run the ball, stop the run and have a nonexistent Secondary.

While Hill just had his best game of the season, Gio has been playing great all year, the O-line just played a great
game against one of the best and deepest D-lines in the league and we still have a lot of weapons even with Eifert
out. Looking at these two teams it just looks like a blowout, but we all could be wrong cause it is a Division game
against a team that used to play us well, used to.

The last 2 times we have played them we have outscored them like 61-10.

I would be more concerned about playing Manziel and Pettine actually letting him be Manziel.  There were times he caused problems in that first game, but then going into the half Pettine said he wanted him to stay in the pocket... ironically, so did the Bengals!

Yeah, terrible coaching by Pettine. This Davis guy is a pocket passer also, plays right into Geno and companys hands.

Austin Davis's best trait is his ability to "move up in the pocket".

One problem though.. there is never anywhere to "move up in the pocket" vs Cincinnati. I'm predicting 5 sacks.

Moving right into Geno's territory.

True. However, this version of the Browns is pretty damn lousy. We are going to have to play uninspired, sloppy, mistake laden football to lose to those turds.
This post brought to you by the Cincinnati Bengals. Proud leaders in squandering opportunity, since 1969.

you underestimate the level of a play a NFL player or the thin difference between most players at most positions have  to think subpar not very good teams are just walkovers.. it seems every week a team or two that is much better than the team they are playing on record loss.

Hey, Fool! They also have a TE who can beat you as well as a speedster or two.

Yeah, and it's not like we have never had trouble covering TE's.   Ninja

I don't feel comfortable about this game at all. Deja Vu written all over it. Ninja

Absolutely correct.  It looks like a blowout on paper.  Unfortunately, the game is played on the field.
