Ah hell, put me down for a bengals win, 20-13!

I post this again to show some of us on here think BENGALS CAN WIN.  

Again, Bengals are 3-1 in last 4 games and game before that was overtime with Aaron Rodgers Packers.  Jags are not as good as Steelers.  If the Bengals that beat a good Buffalo team in week 5 show up, they beat Jaguars. 

Jags have a lot of injuries to Fournette and some top receivers. Bengals have one of the better defenses in NFL.  

Tony Romo broadcasting most of our games has said Bengals can help the O Line by staying out of 3rd and longs....I say Bengals do cut down on the 3rd and longs.  People on here saying Jags pass rush is tough but you can run on them. So Bengals run 50 % of their offensive plays Sunday.  They get smart and use Mixon, and then Bernard, and Hill on 3rd and short or goal line power up the gut plays.  Mostly Mixon, but some Bernard and Hill as our Billy Cannon, Cannon Ball on short yard power plays. ....and we stay out of 3rd and longs most of the game as Romo says.   Staying out of 3rd and longs helps our O Line greatly. We attack Jags run defense and that counters their pass rush.  

Both teams have good defenses.  Bengals stay out of 3rd and longs by running on the Jags.  Bortles is not better than Dalton, not a all.   Bengals get a nice win to make it 4-1 in their last 5 games because the Jags are not as good as the Steelers, they just aren't. 

So some of us on here think Bengals can win this game.  They have to play as good as when they beat Buffalo in week 5.  At games end Bengals D has more sacks and turnovers than Jaguars D....and Bengals WIN......Bengals get to 4-4 after the 0-3 start. Remember the 2012 Bengals started 3-5 and 1970 Bengals started 1-6, both went to play-offs. Bengals get to 4-4 and 4-1 in their last 5 games with nice wins over Buffalo and Jacksonville. Bengals find Romo is right, and cutting down on 3rd and longs helps their O Line greatly.
