Won't predict the score, just how the game will go.
The defense will play their guts out and keep it close for awhile. But the offense will give no help and the defense will eventually wear out from being on the field constantly and the 4th qtr will get ugly. I consider us as hving zero chance to win this game.
I can't figure the Bengals offense will be "fixed" this quick, BUT, I do think we will see SOME degree of functional. I was seeing a lack of strategy and tactics, a team looking like it had got little out of pre-season and was still in that mode. I see a NICE bunch of runners and receivers. I wasn't seeing us DO stuff with it.
I saw a HS game Friday. The home team scored on a long run on bout the 2nd ply of the game.. then.. just fired away on both offense and defense. The Starters racked up a 49-0 halftime lead and sat the second half. It was not supposed to be a blowout. he Home team...was hot and literally STUNNED the opponent early then was efficient and creative and...intense.
That is what a GREAT team wants to do. The Visitors were considered a GOOD team, but, They got outplayed all around early and soon seemed a bit dazed.
