Steelers at Bengals

[theguru]

It is Monday night football.  The Steelers are currently a 13 point favorite but I am going to take the Bengals and the points.  I see this as the Bengals 2020 Super Bowl. 

Who you got against the spread?

Prime time game, I think this is the game that gets Taylor fired. I think this game has a chance to be one of the most all time embarrassing Bengal games in history. 
 

I don’t see the Bengals being able to do anything against their defense. The Bengals literally might flirt with having 100 total yards or less on offense. Then defensively with the offense being horrible, the defense eventually would break down as the game goes on.

With the Steelers coming off two losses, this literally could be ugly and so embarrassing in prime time. That the Bengals would have no choice but to move on from Taylor after this game. 
 

Steelers 31 

Bengals 0

Good point on Coach Taylor.

I will be tuned in with my popcorn!

31-3.  Bengals will kick a FG with 56 seconds left in the game.

I feel bad for NFL fans throughout the country.  To be stuck watching what we see every week.  It's a shame they aren't flexing MNF games.

You and I don't always see things eye to eye.  But, this is spot on with how I think this is going to go down.

It may even be worse than I thought.  Ryan Finley expected to start for the Bengals.  We may not have more than 50 passing yards.

You could be right on the money here, unfortunately!  We probably could use Johnny Bench to say what he did to Sparky when Pat Darcy was warming up with Carlton Fisk coming up the ‘75 series:

                    “NO CHANCE”!!!  Against the spread or anything else!!

Just saw that Allen is out tomorrow from the knee hurt last week. Finley will get the start.

This is an opportunity for Taylor to make an impression. If I am him, I put in wildcat plays. I set up a passing game plan focused on short quick passes. If Finley holds a ball for more than 2 seconds, I am in his head screaming get rid of the ball, even if it means throwing it away. Finally, I run the ball on 85-90% of the plays in the game. Run the ball at unexpected times. Get creative in play design. That is why you got hired Zac. Of course I expect Taylor to fail in all that. Good bye Zac.

Here's my prediction for Finley tomorrow night... 7/19 for 46 yards, 0 TD's and 1 Int.

He'll run the ball 8-10 times, because he won't pull the trigger on what he sees downfield.

I happen to be in a one and out league.  Yesterday there were 9 of us left and 8 took the Rams.  I picked Pittsburg.  For the first time in decades I want the Bengals to lose!  They will probably disappoint me again.

Not a chance of disappointing you.

The Steelers win the North with a win tonight, the Bengals aren't beating them.
