Whos better in 09' Begals or Browns

[ace63]

Well the only thing we can do is wait for season to start. Its getting close. I will be upset if i dont see a much improved bengals team. Its going to be an exciting year in the north.

Palmer stays healthy, you'll see a .500 (maybe a game or two above) team that will finish anywhere from 2-4 to 4-2 in the division. That defense can be even better than last year but if they don't find someone to run the ball, they'll still lose games.

Fuzzy.....As a Browns fan, I can say that before the Browns, Bengals or any other team wants to be considered a serious title contender they must possess a defense that can get off the field after third down.

Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. The Browns were a living proof of this rule in '07 when they went 10-6 and missed the playoffs. Horrible, horrible defensive team that year.

Even in the past 10 years since coming back into the NFL, the Browns have shown themselves about as good as anyone in stopping teams on first and second down. But something magical happens with the 3 shows up on the down marker. It doesnt matter the distance needed, more often than not the oponent (any opponent) converts and the defense stays on the field.

They've actually had a pretty darn good D-line the last few years. Shaun Rogers was a force to be reckoned with in the middle. If he could have gotten into decent shape instead of having to come out and rest after every few plays who knows how good he could have been. Do you think maybe that's why they were so good at stopping the opposing team on 1st and 2nd, but not on 3rd - the fact that their d-line was good but their secondary wasn't?

When the bengals picked up benson from the bears ,they won there last 3 games. I think benson got 100 yds each game with that make shift o-line they had. Benson didnt even practice with the team all year and didnt know all the plays . Now he has time to know plays and practice with team . He has been a big stand out at camp. I hope the running game will improve. The bengals have changed there off play book this year. Everyone knew what they were doing . With recivers like chad,coles,henry,caldwell,simpson,chapman,utech palmer has alot of weapons. Only if palmer has time to throw. Palmer is a pro bowl qb. If he stays healthy, Bengals will do good.

Hope springs eternal! It must be the orange.

[ace63]

I do feel good about this year. Havent had hope for a while. We will see . And it wasnt the orange, It was a tall boy at applebees.

[ace63]

You have a THANG for "tall boys?"

Ha Ha Sometimes your a sick person.

[ace63]

I can see that your upset that cinci is trying to make a big push this year. And your team has givien away there draft picks the last few years. Cinci is not at fault for this . You need to get over that. You cant even make a statment without bringing cinci into it. It makes me feel good you trying to cut cinci down . I call it jealous. You will have to deal with it. Maybe talking to someone in medical feild will help. Who-dey baby.
Its our turn .

[fuzzhead]

Now guys, guys, guys! The way to stop your bickering is to just become Steeler fans!

[fuzzhead]

I got plenty of pleasure watching the Steelers take home the trophy this past year.

[WitnessProtection]

i guess you didnt see the draft this year and the free agents that cinci bought. Cinci making a better effert than i have seen in a long time. You guys did get a center. . cinci won divison in 2005. Not impossible.
It could happen this year, If pitt would have a bad year. If graham didnt missed a 39 yd feild goal 2006 againest pitt, the bengals would have been in playoffs. There closer than what you think.

Uh, closer to what???

[ace63]

I didnt realize Hell had frozen over today!

Ace and me get a kick out of giving and taking about the Bengals and Browns. Surely you wouldnt deny an old man a little pleasure!

Gahs and i would never stray from our teams . We even bet lunch one time. I won. (good time) I tell my son if i make a remark about the browns , i can get at least 2 paragraphs back out of him. Yea i do it on purpose. Its not hard to get him going. It really does piss him off when the bengals do better. (goes both ways) WE might have to bet lunch again (wild horse in pomeroy) If hes got the guts. And any others that what to bet ???????
Gahs has a big wallet .

[noreply66]

The Brownies will turn to fudge

[ace63]

Not play offs . Who will have the better reg season record. We were only half a game better last year. Should be a good bet.

[ace63]

I am were talking browns and bengals. I bet lunch at wild hosre , who has the best season record. No faith in your team. Do alot of talking , Lets see some shrimp.

[ace63]

Season records mean nothing. Last year the Bengals were 4-11-1 and the Browns were 4-12. If you think that is worth a lunch you are a bigger loser than the Bengals. Playoffs or bust. Bengals make the playoffs or I eat on you. Your turn.

How about just when they play each other. 2 games 2 lunches. your move.

[ace63]

Only a browns fan would take that bet.

[ace63]

Bull Puckey....the only ones you are willing to bet with are Browns fans! I havent said a single word about how new and improved we are. I know better. You on the other hand have been bragging about the Bengals but only want to make a bet with a fan of a 4-12 team. Im not impressed!

Why not. it only a 4 1/2 team you are betting againest. You must think they will win.

[ace63]

So I take it you know that your going to be in last place already, and the fact that the bengals are trying and your team isnt , Really chaps your a**. I can accept that.

[ItownHosscat]

Bengals...Browns continue to suck......more lol.

[bluedevil]

cincinnati should win 11 games

cleveland should win 5 or 6 games
