Recipe for a win this weekend

Some people have compared this upcoming game against the Browns as being very similar to the game in Cleveland in 2007 in which Derek Anderson got his first start after Charlie Frye was benched and then traded after getting blown out by the Steelers.  The Bengals were coming off a season-opening win over the Ravens on Monday Night Football.  The Browns proceeded to beat the Bengals the following week 51-45 on the strength of 5 Derek Anderson touchdown passes, 216 Jamal Lewis rushing yards, and 194 Josh Cribbs return yards.
 
I think, for the Bengals to win this game, it should go more like their game in Cleveland in 2008.  In said game, the Browns rolled out Ken Dorsey to battle the Bengal's Ryan Fitzpatrick.  (Dorsey! Fitzpatrick! it's the NFL on CBS!)  Fitzpatrick went 5/9 for 55 yds and a touchdown.  The Bengals ran the ball 46 times for 191 yards (4.2 per carry).  They intercepted Dorsey three times and Gradkowski once.  
 
ESPN Game Recap
 
I don't think with Carson Palmer under center that we should only throw the ball 9 times, but I think it would be nice to see the Bengals get an early lead and control time of possession by pounding the ball. 
 
This should be a win for the Bengals.  Huber needs to punt effectively and keep the ball out of Cribbs's hands.  The defense needs to continue to get pressure from their front four.  The offense needs to do what they do and not turn the ball over. 
 
Get it on.
 
Who Dey.

you've got that exactly right

and with Cleveland giving up 184.3yards on the ground per 2009 contest, we’ll bring the knuckleball, Fast ball and the change-up. Hobson seems to think so.

3 yards and a pile of dust
