Hey Bengal fans...impressed that some of you remembered me!
It's been an up-and-down year (as expected), but the chance to get back to 0.500 is enough to keep things interesting for most Bills' fans.
As promised, I'll be in town for the game this weekend, so if there are any can't-miss spots for food or drink, feel free to lay them on me.
The most interesting parts of this matchup to me are:
- Buffalo's league-leading pass rush versus a Bengals' OL that has allowed the 3rd-most sacks in the NFL
- Cinci's passing offense, which ranks 4th in YPA against Buffalo's suddenly-suspect secondary, which is allowing a league-worst 8.3 YPA
I'm more than a bit disappointed that we're still missing our best offensive and defensive players, and it has directly cost the team at least 2 games. That's their own fault though--Sammy's rehab physician did a terrible job with him, and Dareus simply hasn't seemed to care enough about football to keep himself in shape after his suspension.
I'm curious what Bengal fans feel is the biggest reason for the team's decline? Loss of Hue Jackson? Missing 3 key offensive weapons from last year? Age/decline of the OL?
I'll be checking in periodically until game time.
Until then, be well.
