Bengals own the Eagles

[HarleyDog]

Here's the reason I think we can win this game. Our losses to SD and CLV were not blow aways and Burrow was fighting for his life. Think I read today he had an avg of 2.6 seconds to get rid of the ball. That's just downright horrible. So we saw weaknesses in the SD game that needed addressed. But we were on a plane 3 days later with no real time to address, so hopefully they are full throttle on addressing the nonsense in the first 2 games. You give Burrow some protection, get Tate in there especially once you get inside the 30 and open up some holes for Mixon? We are good.

I think how we perform Sunday will tell a lot on how good this coaching staff fixes problems. It shouldn't take 8 flippin games to address the run game like last year. Plus, Burrow hates to lose so you know he has to be up the coaches rears about things he see's and game film (incase they can't see for themselves). He needs a victory and once he get's it, he can spread that fire to the others. There's no reason our OL needs to be paid millions of dollars to be turnstiles. Heck, turnstiles would do a better job at holding back the line then these guys have the last 2. Address that stuff right there and we are back in it.

Also need to work on that defense. Damn, such high hopes gone bad quickly.
