Bengals Steelers Week 2 thread

Ware's out. I consider Ray a downgrade, but he's a 2015 first rder who's being groomed for the that spot eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if he's problem but Whit should be able to handle him.

I love our pass rush against an inexperienced, non-impressive QB. Not to jinx it but I feel about as good as possible in this game considering Denver is elite.

First time at home this year, first time on the road. Now there's some film on the offense with the QB, some of his tendancies, etc...

Going to be a tough one, but one that is winnable at home. Bengals will move to 2-1.

concerned about the OL. but we should win at home. if we can't win at home, then forget about the playoffs going into round 2.

 

[DanBengalfan]

favored by -3.5
which would mean odds makers think we're about even in talent, giving 3.5 for home field.

Lets not underestimate Denver's defense here..... Or Denver's ability to win ugly, defensive struggles. This team won a Super Bowl with 20% of Peyton Manning playing quarterback. And they've already banged up Cam Newton and Andrew Luck this year. They might not need more than 17 to beat us if we can't get our offense in gear.

Looks like the Broncos are a little beat up and they're on the road for the first time this year. I'd give the edge to the Bengals.

That said, Kubiak has always given us trouble. Wouldn't be shocked to see a piss-poor performance this week and outrage in the stands.

I'll set the over/under number at 5, for the times Kubiak calls, and the bengals fall for, the play action fake to the right, QB bootleg leg left pass to the wide open tight end for 10-15 easy yards.

Oh yeah.... I still fondly remember all the crappy Texan quarterbacks that beat us because our linebackers are stupid. Good thing Marvin cut his teeth coaching linebackers!

I'm having a moral delima. I have the Broncos D in fantasy and they are killing it for me, but part of me wants to bench them this week just because they play the Bengals. I don't want any reason to root for the Broncos.

I aready benched Dalton for this week because I'm afraid of what that D will do to him.

Hey Bengals fans. Looking forward to a good game. Honestly have no clue what to expect. With the Broncos still having such an unknown at the QB position I think all Bronco fans might feel that way the entire year. The one nice thing they do have going for them though is that defense and a running game do still seem to travel well and those are the two strengths of this team. Rushing wise this year we are 4th in the league with 141 yards per game and 6th in yards per attempt at 4.7 yards a game. Stop the Broncos run game and you stop the Broncos offense. I would also expect the Bengals to have everybody within 15 yards of the LOS. Broncos have attempted the fewest deep passes in the league and just don't have a QB that feels comfortable enough to stretch the field. I think the Broncos defense is going to hold the Bengals to 17 or less points for us to stand a chance in this one.

Bengals are facing a better DEF, but a lessor OFC...interesting game imo, DEN probably wants to establish the run, and I think CIN has to know they want to establish the run...being at home vs a young QB, I think CIN will win this one....23-17

 

[DanBengalfan]

The entire team is suffering from constipation today. you can't win when you have turds up your butt.

other than that.

who dey!

and go get 'em Marv!!! don't challenge shit and call them time outs on field goal tries.

welcome to the jungle bitches!!!
