Raiders at Bengals Predictions/Updates (AFC Wildcard)

[Voice of Reason]

Need to keep the lead and try to negate Jacobs and the Raiders run run game. Another score here would be huge. I love the fast start by the Bengals. They have been a second half team all year.

Need 7 here then get the ball to start the 3rd quarter would be huge.

Joe Burrow ... BEAST!!

What a difference a stud QB makes! Absolutely a winner JB!  

[Voice of Reason]

Another drop by the Raiders.

Great job Joe! Bengals with that touchdown now lead 20-6 we need to not allow no points here now!

So far the Raiders have not been able to stop the Bengals offense hopefully we can hold to just another FG here would be big going into the 2nd half.

On both sides. I saw two on the Bengals in their last drive.

This is not good the Bengals could not really play much better on offense except for the two FG;s and now the Raiders have to feel good the way they have played and only down 7 at 20-13. There is a lot of football left to play. We have got to keep the pedal to the metal.

Defense giving up too many big plays. No more 20 yards plus plays.

I was great until the Raiders scored at the end of the half.  

We get the ball to start the 2nd half!

Bengals played a very good half. Raiders made a lot of mistakes and are only down 7. I agree with you. They have to feel good to only be down 7 and like their chances. Bengals need to do their thing like they have all year on this opening drive of the second half.

The NBC announcers keep talking about the refs whistle on the last Bengals touchdown when they showed the replay it was not blown until the ball was about 5 feet from CJ. I don't think it had anything to do with the score, but if that is the rule as the commentators are saying why did NY not say something in the review. If they are not allowed then nothing could be done.

We have to do a better job covering Waller and not allow Jacobs to get 8 yards a carry in the 2nd half and we will be fine. A plus so far is the Raiders have no been able to do much with the Bengals offense.
