I think we have assembled a good group of players on defense and all the news from training camp and how they looked this preseason. I'm really expecting the defense to keep the game manageable. I know the Vikings have some talent on offense and they'll certainly score some points. But I think the defense plays good enough to win.
My concerns are that we have some turnovers and give the Vikings some short fields or we start to string multiple 3 and outs together and the defense starts to break.
Same thoughts as well, nice post Nug. I know that Offense has a lot of great weapons and a good QB but it just might be hard
on them if their OL cannot hold up against our DL and blitzes which I hope we use. Specifically Hilton and our Linebackers.
Want to see ADG on some LB blitzes, dude is made for this.

If Bengals can manage to limit the Vikings rushing attack then very good things will follow.
Think this is a very formidable task but believe the Bengals rise to the occasion if the coaches can just stay out of the way.
Have to stop the run, this is what I want to see from our D more than anything. I hate to get ran on. Major test as you say.
