Browns at Benglas Predictions/Updates

[16thBBall Fan]

The Browns make the trip down to southern Ohio to take on the Bengals both teams are coming off tough losses. The Bengals need to bounce back and stay undefeated in the AFC North games. Go Bengals!!

Still unsure the Browns can muster enough offense without a healthy Baker Mayfield.  Bengals rebound.

Baker always seems to somehow play his best games against the Bengals. Hopefully that is not the case this week. If the Bengals tackle better, then I like the Bengals chances this week.

I'd imagine Baker still won't be playing up to par, but I could be wrong. I'll take the Bengals by 7 or so. 

Baker just strikes me as the guy who is going to refuse to adjust his playing style to his current situation and could hurt the team in the process.

Hoping the Bengals bounce back this week after a tough loss.  I think the Bengals come out ready to go after being embarrassed in New York.   Bengals by 17.

Do the Bengals have anyone that can block Garrett? All depends if the players think this game is "important". Sure didn't play that way last week.

Gotta rebound after that loss last week.  Try and keep the Brown run game semi quiet.

Sounds like its going to be some beautiful weather down at PBS. Looking forward to getting back in there and slinging some suds!

I think the Browns need a win.  They will show up ready to play and I think it translates into a win.  Of course, Joe Burrow is a very talented QB and the Browns have had trouble with teams who have high level QBs.

What's up with Odell?  The Browns organization didn't trade him but are basically saying, "Just stay away"?

It was rumored at one point that the trade wasn't for lack of trying. No one wants the attitude and contract.

Yeah, you can't really blame other teams based on what we know.

So are they paying him to not play at this point?

I believe so.

Wow, White not used to this, Colts aren’t dropping 10-12 yards and letting him complete every pass!!

See my thread about the Browns and OBJ.  Basically, he no longer wants to play for the Browns, they tried to trade him but got no offers due to the cap hit they'd take, plus his injury history, plus his attitude, plus his poor showing in games, and so the Browns told him to stay away from their facilities (he's "excused" from practice).  They've done this for two days now.  I guess they are figuring out what is the best way to part ways with him.  They could cut him or they could pay him to sit out for the season.  The latter option would be to keep him from signing with a competitor like Baltimore or Pittsburgh.  For now, OBJ is in limbo.

This game gets the A team announcers Lampley and Romo.
