Absolutely correct.

Also, last year, the Browns destroyed the Bengals on Thursday, and the Browns weren't supposed to be miserable on defense.

I think the Browns will still score, even without McCown at the helm, but their defense is going to get murdered, especially with all the injuries the Browns have.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Mike Pettine looks like Bill Goldberg?

Ok Bengals, we understand now. LOL

They're really exorcising all their demons this year. It's refreshing to me, because I hate that talk of individual players/coaches not being able to get over some hump. These guys don't just forget how to play or coach once the playoffs start. You keep making the playoffs and eventually you'll win some games. It's simply an evening out of the odds.

Dalton needs to start getting some more respect, too. He's really overcome his weaknesses and been the catalyst behind their 8-0 start. How about Hue Jackson directing the offense? Lots of teams have weapons similar to what the Bengals have, but only a few actually utilize them correctly. The way they mix Hill and Bernard up, capitalize on the mismatch that Eifert presents, oh and you've got this guy AJ Green who hasn't even had to do it all with contributions from guys like Marvin Jones and Mohammed Sanu. Health may actually be their biggest strength, getting Jones and Eifert back from injury from last year.

Impressive win. These are the games fraudulent teams lose, like the Bengals have in the past. Cleveland has given some good teams a game this year, too. Cincy left no doubt.

We know they'll make their season in the playoffs, but the Bengals and their fans should take a moment to appreciate this.

We're really good but I swear we would be the team to go 16-0 and lose our first playoff game.

Had my first NFL experience last night. It was pretty amazing. It's always awesome when for three hours, everyone sitting around you becomes your friend as you celebrate a beat down of your in-state rival.
