Bengals vs Dallas Cowboy Predictions

[R3stangs]

This is maybe the worst defense I've ever seen. It doesn't matter who we play we can't stop them. And all they need is one Micah Parsons to keep us from scoring on one or two drives and game over. Taylor will remain convinced we just needed to make one or two more plays and we're really close. Burrow gets hit late and in the head 15 more times with no calls made.

TLDR we lose again.

Bengals Win 41-24 and win out in the rest of their games showing us the team we expected all along and securing an average draft pick.

Makes sense Go Cards. Just the way it goes being a Bengals fan.

But will ZT commit to running the ball? Which would also keep Cowboys offense off the field. And yes I know the Cowboys offense is not good as well. But the thing is our D will make them look all-world.

Run the damn ball

That is the question. If Zac actually commits to running the ball when it is working I will have hope for him. Until then, I don't.

This is why we need to either have Pitcher take over all play calling or add someone else to do the job this Offseason.

But, 

Just makes too much sense. We are in a good position in the Draft at this point so we have to just screw it up, meanwhile the Quiefs 
doink a game winning FG off the post and in to secure their Division and most likely the #1 seed. This would never happen for the 
Cincinnati Bengals. It would doink the other way out...

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Cowboys 38-36.

But it is ok, as a loss is actually a win.

[*Nately120*]

I think we score 52 points which gives us about a 51% chance of winning.

I see this sentiment a lot. But the Bengals have the fifth best scoring offense in the league. I just don't see how taking offensive play calling away from Zac is going to improve on this. 

The team is really quite remarkable on offense. And they do this playing a lot of tough defensive teams in the AFC North. Also look at KC-Chargers game last night. The Chiefs struggled mightily on offense against the Chargers defense -- the best in the league, giving up only 15.9 points per game -- with the Chiefs scoring only 19 points at home. Meanwhile, the Bengals put up 27 on the Chargers away -- the most points scored against the Chargers all year.

Why would Zac give up, or be forced to give up, offensive play calling, when the Bengals offense is the one part of the Bengals team that is humming.

Well, with a running game this Offense would be even better. You make good points as usual Nepa, it is just I think this Offense is putting
up these numbers in spite of Zac, not because of him. Burrow has been playing his best ball ever along with Chase, they should be a top 5 
scoring Offense when this is happening.

The question to me is how much of the going away from the running game is on Burrow? If he is a big reason I guess it doesn't matter if
we brought in another OC, it would be the same as Burrow loves being in the Shotgun and passing the majority of the time.
