From what I remember, we played Colts last year which should have been an easy game with Luck out. Problem was Colts D dominated Bengals O Line. Dalton really took a beating. I think we got the win, but it wasn't pretty. Another game last year where Dalton showed he is tough as nails getting up from all those extra hard hits.
So I predict Colts will be even tougher with Luck at QB again. Colts D will be wanting to tee off on our O Line again. I'm not sure our new rebuilt O Line is ready this early on week 1. I just hope Dalton gets better protection and doesn't get clobbered all day as he did last year. I remember some big star on Colts D was in our backfield all game long, he owned Bengals blockers.
I'll take a win by 1 point and be glad we get the win. If Bengals blocking doesn't do better, we will lose. I hope our blocking has improved a little. I look for Steelers and Ravens to win so I'm hoping my Bengals win to all be 1-0 with Browns in last with a losing start as normal making Browns 1 win and 32 losses last few seasons. Hoping my Bengals win and are tied for First, not Last. GO BENGALS.....Get the win and no major injuries going into tough Ravens Defense Division game, probably for early first place with possible end of season play-off tie breaker importance. To get to any of that next week, Must Beat Colts this week.
