I've noticed that the Bengals new found success has been mostly attributed to the refs..... and dumb luck..... and injury luck..... and a weak schedule.....I need to stay off twitter.

We did - been a long time coming. Want to know something funny, though - Bengals still have twice as many playoff wins since 1990 as the Browns (4-2). And, while they are 0-3 in the Super Bowl - this franchise at least knows what that is like (unless you want to claim Baltimore since, they stole your team). So, despite the fact that the Bengals sucked for high a decade+...well...yeah.

You won't find too many more Bengals fans that are pragmatic about the team. Are they the best in the NFL? No. AFC? No. Maybe the AFCN - but the rematch with Bmore looms large. The Bengals are a very good team at the moment, but still have some gaps that can be exploited - especially on offense with scheme/play-calling. Defensively they play a bend/don't break style that uses a ton of mixed coverages to confuse QB's, and do it at a pretty high clip - especially in the red-zone where there is less room for QB's to operate in the passing game (currently #6 in the NFL in redzone TD% allowed at 51%, and 40% last 3 games).

Posted a little dig on the AFCN Hate guide to have some fun - and you are the one, my friend, who got twisted.

It's good to have some hate back on this thread - with the Steelers not doing as well, and I feel like we've lost some of the Bmore posters recently, it's been to friendly around here...

So, in that vein - get bent! ;)
The real Browns play in Baltimore. The expansion Browns have only been playing since 1999. You have to start there. Modell may have let the city keep the original accolades, but that was just window dressing. The whole team, all the players, coaches, etc went to Baltimore. The expansion Browns had to redraft all the scrubs off of current NFL teams. That was not the same organization, nor is this Browns team your fathers Browns. It is just an expansion team like the Bengals were. Bengals started 1968, Cleveland Browns 1999.

So, they were futile - got a fresh start - and are still futile...

Got it.

This game with the Bucs reminds me of that Bronco game from 2015. That was when the team was peaking but they've never beaten Peyton Manning before. I know the Bengals beat Tom Brady once I know. It was a sloppy raining miserable game. I forgot what year that was though.

It'll feel good beating him again even though he's on his way out.

The Bengals beat Brady's Patriots in 2013. The Broncos game you are thinking about was the 2014 season. The Bengals were pretty banged up by the end of that season - We lost the wildcard game in Indy that year when we had Rex Burkhead playing a bunch of snaps at receiver. The 2015 Bengals/Broncos game was AJ McCarron vs. Brock Osweiler.

Wow. I hope that dude had a designated driver going home. Ehh...fuck that, that dude was not driving home...I hope he had a designated walker to get him out of the stadium.
Doesn't look like he made it very far. Likely escorted outside the gates and then left by himself to wake up in piss-soaked jeans lol
