I'm a Browns fan and I can clearly see the Browns defense has zero chance of stopping the Bengals. Cincy wins 38-13. At least I will be able to go to sleep at halftime.Bengals vs Browns (formerly known as the toilet bowl and when played in Cleveland aptly named) comes down to two big match ups. Bengals oline vs Browns dline (Williams vs Garrett) and Browns running game vs a banged-up Bengals defense (esp. with Reader missing). Two dumb a**es for HC's may come down to which one makes the least dumb a**decisions. Bengals are 0 - 2 in the division can't afford to lose anymore divisional games. Very important for both teams to have the lead at half, for the Browns so they can run the football in the 2nd half, and for the Bengals, so the Browns have to throw the football. Bengals 24 - Browns 21.
Browns cruising towards being 3-8 when Watson returns. I, like many other, overestimated the quality of this roster. There are just no vocal leaders, Joe Woods is a horrible D-coordinator, and Stefanski is not a leader of men. He is the smart guy who thinks he has all the answers, but he has no ability to rally the troops. He should be an O-coordinator, not a head coach.
