I’m trying to tell him although they’ve been playing well their corners are banged up but they are allowing 69% completion (31st) and are 31st in sacks. I said give Burrow time he’s going to kill you. What am I missing? I think it’s a bad matchup for the Falcons and not surprised by the -6 spread.
Glad to hear your analysis, although I also was impressed with the game that Marcus Mariota had against what some analyst said was the best defense in the league in San Francisco. He completed all but one of his passes (13/14) and had a rating of 144. The Falcons also rushed for 168 yards against that 49ers defense.
But the 49ers did have problems with turnovers, so if the Bengals can avoid a similarly bad day with turnovers, I am hopeful. At any rate, the Bengals have to make a statement over these next four games before their schedule really gets challenging.
