walzav29 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 #1. No slow start. They can't fall behind 14-0#2. AJ Green to play the whole game#3. No Dalton INT's#4. A healthy Dunlap#5. Hit Ben repeatedly#6. Realize that the Steelers aren't better than themThis formula should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 A win anyway they can and a loss by the Jets, Broncos and Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Give me #4 and I'll take my chances with the rest.I'll take #2 as well.They did #5 last game, sacking Ben 5 times... without Dunlap. Getting a healthy Dunlap in there could make for a very enjoyable afternoon.This team already believes #6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 They did #5 last game, sacking Ben 5 times... without Dunlap. Getting a healthy Dunlap in there could make for a very enjoyable afternoon. I probably couldn't prove it with stats so I won't bother trying, but IMHO the presence of a healthy Carlos Dunlap dramatically changes what the Bengals are capable of doing on defense, as well as what the Biggest Ben is able to do on offense, especially extending pass plays beyond the traditional 3 or 4 seconds before the ball has to be thrown. Carlos Dunlap is a game changer....if healthy. Without him the Bengals have mostly abandoned the 4-man pressure packages that worked so well early on and attempt to compensate by sending extra rushers. That works occasionaly, but Ben knows the Bengals defense inside and out and he seems more than willing to trade the occasional hit or sack in favor of big plays. Nutshelled, Hair loves Carlos like Joannie loves Chachi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwillycuse Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 A win anyway they can and a loss by the Jets, Broncos and Titans.A win and we jump the Steelers for the 5th playoff spot. (assuming Ravens win) Then the Steelers would have a 1-3 divisional record vs our 3-2. Though both being 3-3 would be a possibility.A win and I put a playoff birth at 90% probability. After watching the Pitt-KC game last night - We can beat the Steelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd like to propose an addendum to #5:#5a. Two broken legs on Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I dunno.a broken bone on his throwing hand hasn't stopped him, not sure two broken legs will eithernonetheless, I am a big supporter of hitting him early, often, and hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah, but I really question the severity of Ben's "broken" thumb. Drama. Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm not usually one to wish injury on someone, and I was even concerned for him after his motorcycle accident, but he's turned out to be a despicable human being, so screw him.

derekshank Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Reedy is reporting that Dunlap is borderline doubtful/questionable.Given how ineffective he was against Baltimore, I'm guessing they won't push him.Hamstrings are a bitch. I hope he gets healthy soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Head and Shoulders Samoan got his very concussable brain sort of concussed last week. Possibly he'll play with a little less reckeless abandon. Seeing him stop running plays for a two yard loss by knifing in from outside the end is a disturbing sight for me, and I'd like to see none of it this Sunday.

walzav29 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sounds like Dunlap won't play Sunday. I know he hired Drew Rosenhaus and was looking to redo his deal, but he has to show he can be more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Dunlap probably not playing sucks!!! I thought they really could have used him this game, but if hes not healthy there is no reason to rush him back. Just hope the defense is ready to tackle better this week then last LOL.Fanene needs to step up big time, like he did in 09, where the heck has he been.

Stripes Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd like to see the DTs play better. The Browns shoved them both around a bit in the running game and that simply cannot be repeated this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Looks like Pitt might be at full strength, because Woodley might be playing this week. Man i just wish the bengals were at full strength for this match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
