Cards place LB Casino Ambush on IR.

"Casino Ambush" huh? I kinda like that name. I think I just might steal it for my own. After all, I've been running around this place for years with the same lame-ass name and all I get for my trouble is the occasional gay joke.

I have Bengalszone name envy.

The Cardinals have won 6 of their last 7 games. Their defense has allowed only 17.4 points/game during that stretch. Surprisingly, their offense has scored only 18.6 points/game during that stretch.

Skelton has 8 TDs and 10 Ints in his 6 games (5 of his 8 TD passes have been to Fitzgerald). Beanie Wells had over 200 yards rushing against the Rams... but that is the only time he has topped 67 yards in their last 7 games.

The Bengals defense should find a good amount of success against the Cardinals offense, so if the Dalton can play well, the Bengals have a good shot.

I think it will come down to who wins the battles between

1) Green (WR) and Peterson (CB)

Fairly certain Peterson will be covering Green all day long

and

2) Fitzgerald (WR) and Clements/Jones (CB)

Fitzgerald should be able to beat both these two like a drum, quite frankly, but at least Clements has some experience covering him from his time in that division

I get to see a lot of Arizona games here, and the Bengals have a tall order in stopping Fitz. Great route running, excellent hands, decent YAC, good speed, team player...

Basically the opposite of what Ochocinco is. :P

Can we put pressure on Skelton ??

The biggest key in my mind.

If we can get consistent pressure on Skelton, then I think our defense has a field day. I sure hope Dunlap is feeling like his old self for this one.
