I think this will be a good measuring stick for how prepared the Bengals are as a team because they are going to be playing against one of the premiere rbs in the game in Matt Forte. He is one of the best all around rbs period. If the Bengals can keep him contained and either shut down Eric Decker or Brandon Marshall then they will be in good shape. They need to get pressure on Ryan Fitzpatrick all day because the more he is rushed the better the chances of him turning the ball over increases. As far as offense goes, I think if they can get a steady rushing game it will be huge because with Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson on their defensive line it will be tough all day. Also, I Todd Bowles mentioned today that Darelle Revis will not be covering AJ all alone and that they plan to double team him. If that is true and not a smokescreen then this could be a huge day for Brandon LaFell or Tyler Boyd because someone is going to be open. Tyler Kroft could also be huge. However, I think the major factor overall will be how the offensive line protects Andy because if he is able to make solid throws and remain upright then he will have a legit shot of controlling the game and torching the defense. I think overall though with when and where the game is being played especially on 9/11 in NY, the game could go either way but I do believe the Bengals finally get a win in NY since the 1980s and start the season 1-0.
