How will our defense perform (in game 1) overall? How will Kirk Cousin and the Vikings pass offense do?

How many points do you think we give up? Over 20? Under?

I think we give up somewhere in the 20s for points. I think cook has over 150 and a td. I could easily see them surpassing 30 points, but I’d love to see our defense limit their offense.

If we could get out to an early lead, we could potentially tee off on that oline and force them to pass. Would love to see that. What does everyone think? How will the defense do week 1?

I vote UNDER.

Based on what I have seen thus far, I see a vastly improved defense vs. last year (kind of a tallest dwarf mentality, but hear me out) and he, along with Jefferson, will be the focus of the Vikings offense.  In the old "take away what they do best" category, I would think the Bengal's emphasis for the LBs will be Cook.  Cousins doesn't scare me downfield against these DBs, especially outside a dome, and I think that Vonn Bell will be living attached to Cook.  

While I am at it:  Final score:  Bengals 24, Vikings 20
