The Pro Bowl is a joke because of lack of effort and 7th alternates.

That said, I refuse to blame it for Eifert being hurt for the billionth time. It's also not the Pro Bowls fault that the Bengals waited until May (5 months) to get surgery. Even if they only wait like 3 months to get him surgery, there's most likely not even a discussion about him missing any regular season games. An often hurt guy getting hurt and the Bengals procrastinating with his treatment has nothing to do with the Pro Bowl.

the decision was Eifert's, not the Bengals.

Plus they get their TE back in Jace Amaro.
Marshall is very good and it's going to be hard to shut him down. Plus, Decker is a very nice addition and does well even when Marshall gets shut down..

The Jets actually have a decent team around them and shouldn't be taken lightly. They're very underrated.

Their D-Line>Our O-Line.

Darelle Revis>AJ Green


Marshall & Decker> Pacman and Dre.


I don't like this matchup on paper at all. We're basically asking Boyd to beat Buster in his Pro Debut, and for our D-line to pressure Fitz all game.

It's not even Pacman that i'm worried about in the 2nd matchup. It's mainly Dre Kirkpatrick. 

I feel that both Decker and Marsall are mixmatches for him.

I'm really not sure what to make of Lafell here, given that we don't even know where he'll be playing: http://www.cincyjungle.com/2016/8/25/12619280/bengals-vs-jaguars-will-feature-battle-for-cincinnati-s-no-2-receiver-role


Our O-Line could be good as the year goes on. But as of right now, we have Bodine and at least one first year starter fresh off an injury against the Jets front seven. That's quite a bit even with the remaining O-linemen.

Last year the Jets only played 2 games against 10 win teams yet they just went 10-6 and outscored their opponents by 73 points.

Bengals played 6 games against ten wins teams (2 with our back up QB) yet we won 12 games and outscored our opponents by 140 points.  Our offense scored scored 32  more points than them and our defense allowed 35 fewer points (despite missing Burfict for 6 games)

Jets are not in our class.  If they played our schedule last year they would not even be .500.

Their vaunted D-line lost the starting NT Damon Harrison to free agency and Sheldon Richardson is suspended.
