Pass offense is elite.

Run defense and run offense are good enough.

Pass defense is weak.

What about pass protection from a 4 man rush?

My biggest fear is bad tackling technique.

I don't think that's what AU had in mind Sled.

Maybe you should ask him.

Us not turning up. Our previous playoff losses have all seen us play worse than we did throughout the rest of the season. If we play great and the Raiders still win, I'll be gutted but I'll be confident that this team has the right guts for the job moving forward.

If we see Andy Dalton-esque stats from Burrow tonight, then I'll be confident enough in saying the Bengals as a franchise haven't moved forward at all, and still don't have it in them to win the big games.

I was concerned you'd say the Nashville Kid.

Hell if they had won in 2015 just getting to the playoffs would have been gravy, but I hate this stupid playoff win crap and I want it done with. It’s a stupid stat to begin with, but I’m still tired of it. Just win the damn game. Win it, and momentarily 31 teams are behind you in “haven’t won a playoff game.

Honestly, you’re going to be disappointed. I’ll be shocked if burrow has a big day against that defense

Not saying he’s going to play bad, but I expect subdued passing numbers for today

I'm not expecting 500 yards with 6 TDs... I'm just hoping for better than the following:

18-35 - 155 yards - 0 TDs 0 INTs
14-30 - 127 yards - 0 TDs 1 INT
27-42 - 257 yards - 0 TDs 3 INTs
18-36 - 146 yards - 1 TD 1 INT

I'd expect a subdued, but competent day from Burrow to be better than any of those pearlers from Dalton and Palmer. If he puts up those numbers, we're absolute screwed. Give me a 250 yard day with 1 TD and no picks and I'm (hopefully) happy.

paper cut to the eyeball.

Bengals wise.....losing this playoff game because the o line can't stop the front four.

"Hey AU, what's up?"

Overconfidence.

The Raiders aren't coming in playing scared. They are on a nice win streak and they know the last time these teams played, it was close until late in the game.

Smashed my fair share that is for sure.

Sucks when they get in your hair LMAO!!!

It all comes down to protecting Burrow.

The Bengals fans shouldn't fear anything. They are the better team at 10-7.
