HoosierCat Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Next 4 games are crucial.@ NEvs. CAR@ INDvs. BALReally need 2-2 at least.Agreed. NE is a big prime time test. I'm not impressed by Carolina this year. Indy could be a shootout. And Baltimore is always a tough grind. Hard to see them stealing either of the road games here so they nee to hold serve at home.

I'm not impressed by Carolina this year. Indy could be a shootout. And Baltimore is always a tough grind. Hard to see them stealing either of the road games here so they nee to hold serve at home.Based on today's game, I find NE pretty underwhelming., and with Indy nabbing their first win against a pathetic Jags team they hardly impress either. I'm more worried about Carolina than either of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think we beat NE. Personally, nothing scares me about this NE offense.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 The Pats are definitely beatable, but they're just as tough to beat in Foxboro as the Bengals have been at home. Cincy will be an underdog and they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bengals will also be coming off the bye. As much as they need the time to heal, they also routinely come out flat after a week off. Combined with the prime time spot I have this pencilled in as a loss. I'll be happy to be wrong of course!

A victory in Foxboro could be huge from a few perspectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So until I see it change, I won't be convinced that it's changed. It's not just the losing, it's been several no-shows. Soft play, poor judgment. win or lose, at least play hard and smart for four quarters in two weeks. show that it's going to be different.

princeton Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Stat Of The Day:In three games, the Bengals have trailed for a total of 48 seconds.stat of the season, so far. Bengals haven't been a team that can make a long drive at game's end to reverse a game deficit. An early lead is useful for any team, but particularly important for this team.

COB Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Putin and the Russian Army just surrendered to the Bengals, so the bye week arrived at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I guess it's hard to say what this team can or can't do when down at the end of the game and needing to come back, because they haven't been in that situation.I think it's easy to say they can't do this or can't do that because they haven't done it in the past.I remember when the Bengals didn't draft back to back CB's in the first round, until they did.I remember when the Bengals didn't draft OG's in the first round, until the did.I remember when they couldn't beat the Ravens and Steelers, until they did.I hope to be able to say that this season in regards to primetime games and the playoffs.On topic though. They solidly beat the Titans today and Dalton has yet to be sacked through 3 games.Dalton is a slightly thrown behind and tipped ball away from not having an interception as well.Happy to see the o-line doing so well and the running game being utilized effectively.

volcom69 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Dalton throwing it 20 times a game yea ill take that. Run the ball as much as you can, play action will follow. Crazy to say they are 3-0 and Dalton has what 2 TDs that just seems crazy. Running the ball playing great defense and being physical is just the right formula for this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Could Dalton throw the ball more than he has, which could result in more passing TD's ?? Yeah, but why ??They have a running game that is more than getting it done and balances out the offense.The thing that really adds the problems for opposing defenses is the fact that both of our RB's can catch out of the backfield.No wonder teams can't figure out what the heck Hue is doing out there. He has a buttload of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
