I see a Bengals team that can be beat by our RAMS. Not sure Dalton looks all world with "All Gas, No Brakes" banging on his weapons! Don't get me wrong. I think they are a very solid team but there's some bad news blowing in from the West in about three weeks. :boxing:
One thing is for sure, the Browns can't stop anyone.
This Bengals team is solid, and very balanced on both sides of the ball. I think the Bengals will go to the playoffs and actually WIN a playoff game. They will undoubtedly win their division, and beat a lot of teams because of the way they run their offense. I believe their OC has done an astounding job this far of utilizing his pieces.
Just think if we had an AJ Green right now and/or a Greg Olsen (cookie?... I know he played up to his contract last game). We don't, but we do have Todd Gurley and an OLine that is stable on running the ball and still a question on pass protection.
The deal is this as far as the Bengals go: I believe that we match up very well against this team with what we do. The dink and dunk stuff will not work well with the way our secondary is playing right now; especially when we play a cover 3/4 zone (big nickel). And we should be able to run the ball on them. But there is no question that our D will have to "be our D" in this game and keep us in it which I think they've proven that on all high scoring offenses this far. Question is... then and now: What can our passing attack do to compliment the run?
The Vikings though..... Different game plan and a different thread.
