We're not winning anything without Dalton.

McCarron is not going to have to put up 34 against denver. Our D won't give up that many. Heck, denver had scored under 20 in their previous games against SD and OAK. I say the Bengals have at minimum a 50/50 shot....and that's because the game is both prime time and in denver, otherwise I would say 75/25 Bengals.

In terms of points, yea. But yards is the typical definition of a #1 defense or offense.

I'm not sure who set the precedent, but that's what you usually hear about in regards to a generic ranking of defenses.

I'm a pessimist, and I know this. I hope you're right, but I have a hard time seeing this game as a coin flip. I think we're going in as significant underdogs.
