This weeks game against the Saints is a 'prove it' game for Austin IMO.This DC is a marvin lewis clone,it will not admit he is wrong and thinks all he does is correct.Listen to this,there is NO WAY that the bengals will win this upcoming game,they are going to get super embarrassed, in front of their own fans; no doubt.Our team is just not that good and will not and cannot compete with top teams,and this saints team is super bowl ready and showing it. We have no pass rush by the front four,they are toast,billings and willis are not getting it done.billings I thought would be a stud,he gets pushed around big time.the nfl is so strong by the top teams,the bengals just cannot compete with them.I see and 8 and 8 season and it could be worse.
If he can slow down the Saints offense ANY, it will be marked improvement from the first half of the season. It's weird to say this, but holding the Saints to under 31 would be a victory in my eyes for the defense.
Doesn't matter how they do it, whether they improve on 3rd down, or just find a way to cause some turnovers. ANYTHING will be a win.
I'm going with about a 6.7% chance this actually happens, BUT, it would definitely instill some confidence moving forward if this Defense can force at least 1 (please 2 or more) punts.
Despite W or L, what would be a 'victory' for Austin and the D in your eyes this upcoming weekend?
