The funny part is people are avoiding the stats and it doesn't matter if a fan can or cannot guess the play when the other teams have outright said they can, lol.
Pass or run, easy:
Against Pittsburgh in Week 1, Cincinnati attempted just two passing plays with Burrow aligned under center.
Of their 70 passing plays, 68 of those occurred with Burrow in the shotgun.
That trend largely continued into Week 2.
Of their 46 passing plays, Burrow was in the shotgun for 39 of them.
Actual play, looking for the steelers article where a player who was somehow related to the bengals (practice player?) helped them out. He mentioned it was easy to tell based on personnel. i.e. mixon can't block and sample can't receive. Looking at their roster it might have been Renell Wren, can't find his quote yet. They signed him on september 1st (DL).
You don't have to be 100% right to "guess" a play all game. Guessing if it's run or pass has to be huge, especially against an offense who can't beat you either way right now.
