Last year people might remember unknown backup QB Mike White putting up over 400 passing yards and Jets beating us. In fact, this loss became huge at end of season and it almost could have kept Bengals out of play-offs, but Bengals beat Mahomes and Chiefs.
So I would love to say Prescott is out so Bengals win easy. I just posted today that it should help Bengals chances of winning. But hold the phone, because I have seen way too many back-up quarterbacks beat the Bengals over the years. Then Bengals come back and say they didn't have any film on him and didn't know how to prepare the defense, which is a pretty lame excuse.
I have no idea who Dallas back-up is other than they call him, " The Silent Killer ". I just hope Bengals don't make this guy look like TJ Yates or Mike White coming in looking like the best NFL QB's ever heading to the Hall of Fame. Bengals need to show up and take care of business. I think it could be what happens in Chess a lot. Never under estimate your opponent. In Chess if you think somebody is bad and you try to beat them in 3 moves, you probably will lose. I just remember the GREAT AFC Champ Bengals got clobbered by some back-up named Mike White in his first game ever.
So Bengals need to take care of business. This Dallas QB. These back-ups that have beat Bengals. They remind me of Joe Nuxhall talking pitchers hitting, " If you swing the bat, you are dangerous ". When these back-ups throw the ball, they are dangerous. MIKE WHITE proved that last year. The current Bengals should have learned this lesson. If he hits Lamb and others and Elliott gains some yards, it could be last years Jets game all over again.
So GO BENGALS and don't let your guard down as you have in past with back-up QB's. Saying you didn't have any game film on them to prepare makes a lousy post game losing speech by the coaches. Do not over play Elliott. Play this back-up as if he is Mahomes or Brady, do not let your guard down as you did Jets Mike White last year. For some odd reason the Bengals left the Jets pass catchers so wide open that a high school QB could have beat them. Cover Lamb and these others and force this back-up to play real NFL Football. Do that, and Bengals should Win.

Yes thanks for saving me the to post this exact info. Bengals seem to ALWAYS struggle VS no name QBs. There was that other guy "Mullens?" on SF years ago too that torched them. Lets hope they show up this week to take care of biz like we all know that they can.
