Any team, even bad teams can have good games and good teams can have bad games. Unless we're completely blown out this game won't necessarily be a harbinger of things to come . Indy might just have a good day which won't necessarily mean our entire season is done .

Lack of a lucky last name..

Exactly. The fact is Luck is not better and as I posted elsewhere is the second most overrated QB in the NFL (Cam Newton is still #1 although the sports media jonesing for DeShaun Watson may enter him into this club).

How am I hating on Dalton?
Just because I don't believe Dalton is a top flight QB doesn't mean I hate him.

I think we keep him upright and he will be awesome...
I would love to see him and AJ hook up for a few 50 + plays....
GO BENGALS!
Yes Dalton has a higher rating, but if you swapped the two QBs and Luck played his career with the Bengals and Dalton his with the Colts, Luck's numbers would be better than Dalton's are, IMHO, and I also believe we'd have better playoff success. I also believe that if Dalton had to play with these bad Colts' teams that he'd have fairly poor numbers. But that's just my opinion.
Overall, the Bengals are the better team, by far.

Luck sacked 5 times or more.
Cincy may win by 30...
GO BENGALS!
it's possible....
lets hope..
if our offense clicks....no one can beat us...
but the O-line HAS TO be above avg...
& fast.....

The same goes with establishing the run, on the offensive side of the ball. With that said, I think Andy has superior weapons, and the Bengals benefit from some easy big plays, allowing the defense to get after Luck with "great vengeance and furious anger".
Agree with the rushing and stopping the rush.
Hoping you are prophetic about the rest.

That, and they've been known to give up GAPING holes. If Dalton has a hard time going for over 250+ in this game, it's going to be a LONG season for everyone. It entirely depends on how well their defensive scheme is. I haven't watched a lick of them in preseason.
Jimmy G didn't do too hot from what I remember (statistically he was okay, I guess).
This, combined with what Marvin was showing about their young LBs attacking the LOS makes me think that a flea flicker might be in order. Mixon better pitch the ball back quickly, as Ross might be in the locker room before the ball gets there otherwise.

Yup, he's gotta show Burfict up.
