Attack on offense. I have heard Brady and Co. say how they simply try to score every time they have the ball. That sounds incredibly simplistic, but that is so far from what the Bengals do...if they get a lead they take the foot off the gas and try to protect the lead with a lot of conservative three and outs. Keep your foot on the opponent's neck and don't let them breathe (Atlanta Falcons).
Attack on defense. How about some more pressure schemes? I liked when I saw the occasional safety blitz, but they were too few and far between. I understand you get pressure with your front four in our 4-3 scheme, but you have to change it up every now and then to keep teams off balance.
Attack on special teams. I am not saying they need to become the Seahawks of the 80s with Jim Zorn and Effrin Herarra, but have some fakes designed and don't be afraid to call them.
Bengals 2017 season: Attack
I pretty much agree. I think the best chance they have is to just keep attacking on both sides of the ball, and let the chips fall where they may. Dont try to overthink it, just hit the other team quick and hard for the whole game, outside of obvious situations.
