On the other side, I think we saw the plan against Buffalo. Get ahead, and then play physical in space. Hurst, Perine, Mixon smashing them in the short passing and run game and using the middle of the field in the intermediate game. I don't expect deep shots unless they're sideline go balls with this offensive line. Not with Jones looming in the middle.

Good detailed analysis, of which I will just reference one paragraph.

I do think one improvement for the Bengals is in the short passing game. It seemed that last year the Bengals placed a heavy importance on a long-pass, quick strike offense. During this season, they became masters of the short and intermediate passing game. If the forecast of windy conditions come true (sustained winds of 15 mph and wind gusts in the mid-20s), then a short passing game will be very important.
