2. How many field goals did we come away with against the Raiders, one of the worst defenses in the league in the red zone? That should have been a 28 point win, came down to the last play. The offense isn't as good as you think it is. I rest my case.
That second point is really important.
At home, against the Raiders and it was a 7 point win thanks to a Pratt INT.
The Titans are the number one seed for a reason, not to mention they got the number one seed while missing a record number of players in a season. Think I read somewhere they used over 90 players on the season and set that record. How many wins would the Bengals have if Chase missed the game Julio did, and Mixon was out as long as Henry, and Higgins missed a few like Brown did while Chase was out, and the line on both sides was just torn apart with injuries and etc, etc. All season long, the talk has been how fortunate the Bengals have been with the injury bug, the Titans were crushed by it and still took top seed in the AFC!! This will not be some walk away easy type game.
I still predict a win (have to say it so I'm not labeled as "negative" - Shake gets it) but this is going to be a brutal slugfest type of game and just as close if not closer than the Raider game.
