Giants get a TD in garbage time to make the score look closer than what it is. The Bengals are not as bad as what everyone wants to think they are. We have a good offense. The defense is the only thing I'm worried about. Hopefully we get the kinks worked out with the defense.

I agree with your optimism in our offense, in spite of the weekly struggles from the O-line. Solidify the O-line, and we will have a great offense.

However, I see a defense that needs more than working out "the kinks". There isn't position group that doesn't need to step up its play, and keep it there. And we're not getting special teams play worth a crap. All significant numbers are down from that unit. Tonight's game is the time this team needs to show that they have found solutions to these problems, especially after having two full weeks to prepare for this one game. So I honestly wonder if we have the combined coaching and player talent to do this.

Based on what I've seen to this point, I expect a loss. Something in the 28 - 21 range. I wish I had a better feeling about this team winning more than I do.
