And matched up well against the Seahawks vaulted Defense last week. Yes there were struggles at times but they made plays when they needed to.
Bengals Defense is probly better than they have shown some poor tackling on a few plays have hurt their overall average something i expect they spent much of the week working on.
As far as how i would game plan vs the bills. We are gonna run the ball at that DL... it might not be successful all the time but between hill and gio one of them will get a groove going. And that will open some things up downfield. Which we have been taking shots down the field with 8 different guys catching passes for 20+ yards already in 5 games.
While your main concerns are Green and Eifert. Marvin jones and Dalton torched the last Rex Ryan team they met. And you wont be able to cover everyone. And at times we are gonna spread out your defense and move guys around to all positions which will get us into the matchups dalton wants. And he has been very good at reading defenses and changing the play when needed to get a good matchup.
Overall we dont Historically matchup well when playing in buffalo. But this is a new era for the men in stripes. And while the bills are a talented team this year and a tough team to face especially with that defense I think i have to give the edge to the Healthy bengals. Not expecting a blow out win. But expecting dalton to stay sharp and the defense to not give up the big play TD.
It will be a fun game to watch. i believe the Bengals are Ready for this matchup after facing the seahawks. I also think the bills if you guys get healthy are on your way to the playoffs. AFC seems to be struggling in most divisions so while you guys probly dont take the AFCE with the patriots on fire. there is room for wildcard entrys...
I also expect a lot of movement of chess pieces from Cincinnati. The main focus, in my opinion, should be getting the ball out FAST. Both Brady and Eli averaged less than 2.0 seconds time-to-pass against Buffalo, and that's really the only way to handle their pass rush. Tannehill and Mariota were closer to 2.5 seconds, and they both got battered around pretty good (Tannehill ended up with a decent statistical day thanks to garbage yards). I don't really count the beat-down they gave Andrew Luck, since his OL is hot garbage (nice job giving that $10M/year extension to Anthony Castonzo, Grigson).
The point about sticking with the run game is interesting. Not one team has really tried that with Buffalo this year; we have the highest pass-percentage faced this year (over 70% passes against). We just don't seem to be a team that offenses want to pound against--I would wager DL talent and size have a lot to do with that.
As to not being able to cover everyone, the one place I worry is Bernard out of the backfield. Dion Lewis had a few huge plays catching the ball for NE, and I worry that neither Bradham nor Brown can keep up with him.
I also expect a good game on Sunday.
Cheers.
