Cincinnati @ Browns October first.

That could be an exciting game........ sorta.
Browns fans are going to be so happy and celebrating if they pull that off. There's a chance for the Browns to be 2-2 with the Bengals at 0-4. A two and a half game lead over a division opponent would be like winning the Super Bowl for them.

It's not that unrealistic a possibility either - the colts are garbage and the packers are pretty good - hopefully myles Garrett is back fit to tear apart the bengals offensive line like Lisa tore apart tommy wiseau

We talked about how strange this season has been. I think many of us chose our defense to be the best in the division. Well folks, as far as total yardage wise, we're the worst in the division.

Rankings:
Bengals - 2nd
Steelers - 4th
Browns - 5th
Ravens - 16th (yikes)

To be fair, the loss of Brandon Williams really has hurt us big time. Now granted, it's only week 6, but still...

Yeah, losing Williams has hurt big time, but it’s still early. Not worried.

I think we should be okay once he returns. On the flipside, when it comes to INTs (and we're 9th in overall passing defense), we're 2nd in the league with only one less INT than Sacksonville.

I put the term, "to be fair" in the same category as, "breakout".

No need to "be fair" in stating the issues. They are what they are. The Ravens defense is 16th out of 32.

I interpret "to be fair" as trying to provide context to a scenario, circumstance, etc. When we use the word "breakout," well.............you know what it means.

16th in yards - what about points or turnovers or other metrics... we were 8th in yards last year but i definitely prefer this defensive addition to that one...
I agree. I’m not a fan of relying on yardage allowed to measure a defense.

Doesnt help when you have an anemic offense so the opposing team's offense gets more chances with the ball. Of course they will get more yards.

In yards allowed that Is absolutely correct, but just because they allowed the 16th fewest yards doesn’t mean they are the 16th defense overall.
