Anyone else nervous about the Browns?

I heard that it was his feet and that he needed surgery but is playing thru the pain.  Heard it on MTC with Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller.

I heard that segment as well. So, if we're playing the 'cardboard cutout' version of Myles Garrett, I say they should run right at him and make him prove that he's physically solid.

Teams change. Just because we’ve struggled against the Browns doesn’t mean it aligns this year.

We haven’t won in Cleveland in SEVEN seasons. Of course I’m worried about Cleveland!

I was just reporting what it said on the injury report. If what you are saying is true, I am running a heavy dose at him

If our Bengals cant beat the Browns this week with all their injuries and other upheaval...then the season is over and rightfully so..We can then enjoy our rookies getting more playing time and paln for next year..But I will go out on the limb Bengals 28-Browns 16

with that lease ccoming up for renewal and everything associated with that.. and with his kids now taking a more prominent role..I dont know if a loss Sunday will for Taylor to hit the road..but a bad season just might

Never going to happen, the kids are following dad's footsteps on the business side, yeah the youngest does cute social media stuff but that doesn't translate into anything.

This game should be a lay-up for the Bengals. With that, I could fear that they overlook the Browns, but with the divisional rival and history aspect of things, I think they will stay on task.

I've been a fan since the team's inception. I can't comprehend NOT being anxious against any opponent. The recent poor play in Cleveland makes me wish I hadn't stopped drinking!

Unspoken concerns: Newsome and Ward

Garrett is a disaster and Chubb is elite

But the CB’s shutting down our air attack is a problem.

We have some crazy weapons at WR + TE —- but separation is a problem IMO.

They had better pray that neither of their corners get injured, because their depth at the position is terrible. Garrett is playing injured, should not be a factor. Chubb hasn't played ball in over a year, and it's his 2nd big injury recovery. You worry too much.

What is the point of being nervous? If the defense tackles and the DL continues its improvement we saw last week we should win. Offensively the key is having a TE or back follow Garret when he shifts to help the linemen hold him down - HELP them no nonsense of a TE 1 on 1 on Myles Garrett. Our receivers are fully capable of winning single coverage battles so we will see.

2-4 teams on verge of bring doormate in division and 0-4 in conference have no reason to over look a team, hell with that logic, the Browns should be overlooking us.

Never understood being nervous or worried about something that you can't control or has no bearing on your life.

As I said, I think they will stay on task.

I feel a bit more nervous after that Giants game, because I think the Browns can get to Burrow like how the Giants did. Their offense might get a boost with Chubb coming back as well. Our defense looked way better vs the Giants, but I'm still worried about our DL vs Chubb (if he's back). Watson has looked really bad, so hopefully he continues to look bad against us. I think we win the game, but the way we played against the Giants makes me way more nervous about this game.

I think this game will be similar to the Giants game.

Team with an elite pass rush and a really bad QB vs our team with a bad (but improving via health of the DT group) defense and an elite QB whose Oline is better than previous years, but still iffy against elite pass rushes.

The big X factor is Nick Chubb.

Will be give the Browns' offense the juice they need to perform better than the Giants did against our defense? Or will he be on a strict snap count coming off his second reconstructive surgery?

I also wonder if Watson has a resurgence simply because...this game has got to be his last chance, right? He is not that great against us as a member of the Browns, so this is a minor concern, but people backed into a corner occasionally respond.
