Winning this game would be so huge. It's also going to be extremely difficult.
Since their BYE, the Bengals are 2-2-1 and the two losses were blowout losses. They beat the Jaguars by 10 and squeaked out a win against the Ravens. Since our BYE we're 4-1. Both teams are facing injuries, this game could go either way in my mind. We need this game and I hope the players are up for it.
I hope Gipson continues his INT streak and maybe the Crow sneaks back into action. I'm stoked.

Browns have a funny way of playing to the level of competition so I expect this to be close.
I think we lose. Score will make it seem less close than it was.
Score early in the 4th will be 17-13 Bengals. Bengals score a TD with about 4 minutes left to clinch the game.
24-13 Bengals.
Prove me wrong Browns.

Most Browns fans are approaching the game like its already a loss. Screw it, Browns win by a field goal 24-27.

Interesting tidbit:
If the Browns lose, Cincy stays barely in first.
If the Browns win, Cincy drops to third in the division, and the Browns and Steelers would be tied for the lead.

Quick overview of Bengals
Dalton is all over the place. He struggled without Green, but didn't really play any better with Green back vs Jax. He could win the the game for either team.
I don't know that Bernard being out hurts the Bengals. Jeremy Hill is a freaking stud. I don't like the prospect of the Browns trying to tackle him 20-25 times in a game. Unless he somehow can't handle a full games worth of carries, Hill is a problem.
Bengals secondary has been great and DLine has been awful. The previous 3 weeks have had teams who are decent vs the run, but their yards per game numbers are skewed due to other teams getting a lead and then running the ball a lot to run out the clocks. Bengals don't have that problem. Their pass defense is amongst the leaders in everything you could want, save sacks. Geno Atkins is having his worst year as a pro, probably due to coming off an injury.
Get the run game going early, hope Joe Haden does a good job on AJ Green and we got a real shot.

Last year Haden held Green to 58yds and 0 TD's in both of our games. We do not only have to worry about him, we have to worry about Sanu now. I feel Dalton will target Sanu a lot since Haden will be covering Green.
We have to bottle up the middle (maybe let 1 TD slide for Hill, fantasy speaking
) otherwise he will run all over us.
We have to hope at least 1 of Cameron or Hawkins will be playing. If both of them are out, that could be tough. Please involved Crowell more! We need him to just pound the ball up the middle. Cinci's run DEF is not good, so we need to establish our run game to open up the long ball to Benjamin/Gabriel.
I think it will be a close one, both teams will be tired still from Sunday. Whoever can grind it out longer will get the W.
"Low" scoring game. 20-14, I will say......good guys. Just b/c I think this game our running game will get a boost out of no where.

If we were ever going to beat the Bengals and make a statement... now is the time. Sure, we have our own issues with no Gordon, Mack, or Phil Taylor... and possibly being without Cameron and/or Hawkins also. However, the Bengals are ravished by injuries going into this game. No Giovanni Bernard, Leon Hall, Vontaze Burfict, Rey Maulaluga, and Andre Smith. Terrence Newman is questionable.
I'm not expecting Cameron to play as he hasn't even been cleared yet, and Hawkins is reportedly a game time decision. Baby Hawk's status is crucial, IMO. Our offense is already without it's top two playmakers and pro bowl center.
