Like I said earlier, stopping the run will be the key for Cincy.

 

No doubt. It honestly is like playing the Steelers this week IMO. If you can't stop the run against the Steelers it makes their passing game about impossible to stop too. Its the same way against Denver but even more of a problem. Because if you can't stop the run, then you have absolutely no chance to slow down Peyton.

Hope I'm wrong, but too many things working against the Bengals and the biggest thing working against them is the Bengals haven't faired too well in Prime Time games.

 

That and the team really hasn't put together a great performance in all aspects of the game since week 3 of the season imo.

Either the defense has stepped up and the offense has been questionable or the offense steps up and the defense looks horrible. Even last week the defense and the running game looked great but the passing game was awful.

 

Peyton Manning is one of the all time best, I don't know if our defense can contain him, this isn't last years defense. We may need Dalton to win this one for us if we fall behind early, but I won't hold my breath on Dalton having a great game.

I would say the Saints game probably was a pretty complete game in all phases, however besides that I agree. Every other win there has been some part of the team that has struggled that they had to overcome to win.

Denver by 14.

Heading to PBS Monday Night as well. I really hope the Bengals can pull out a win, but I'm happy to get a chance to watch Peyton Manning play live.

It's 10am on gameday. Where y'all at?
