Honestly man, my hope is that Boy Wonder miraculously becomes the next messiah of NFL Head Coaching. If he could somehow get this team in a position to win each week (despite lacking talent in important areas) I guess I can live with that. It is year one with cleaning up this mess of a franchise, I'm just hoping the cleanup happens sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 The game is Browned-Out here in Columbus, in favor of the esteemed/legendary franchise on the North Coast. Doubt many people notice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatternMaster Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think the Bengals will use a 5-2-4 defense when they are not in a nickel package. It's the only reason why keeping 11 DL and 4 LB makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hey! Let's look at the bright side. This will be our first look at Ryan "Way Better than Dalton" Finley with the first string offense in a real game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatternMaster Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 The Bengals are going to have a big test of their physical and mental toughness on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the crowd noise and physical nature of the game. On offense the Seahawks are going to want to pound the run as their WR corp is inexperienced and banged up, the defense will have to bow their backs and make them pass the ball. On defense the Seahawks have a solid front seven but can be beat in the long passing game. Can the Bengals protect Dalton long enough to give him enough time to find the open guy and can they run the ball enough to stay out of 3rd and long situations which will allow the pass rush and crowd noise to become a factor? We shall see Sunday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 68,338 fans that packed into CenturyLink Field set the world record Sept. 15 for noise at an outdoor sports stadium at 136.6 decibels, propelling the Seahawks to a rousing 29-3 home-opening win over NFC West rival San Francisco. I think this about sums it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue: hyperbolic sports narratives. I agree with you, btw. Every game will present a unique challenge and “toughness” is one facet of a team’s composition that will invariably be tested.

MichaelWeston Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I’m confused this season. Our roster is better than the Seahawks. I know it’s a road game but there is this sentiment that we don’t have a chance. They have a better QB and OL and LBs we have a better RB WR TE DL Dbs They have Russell Wilson and Tyler Locket on offense. Jadaveon Clowney an Bobby Wagner on D.

Our skill players will only be as good as the O line. If Glenn doesn't play it will be bad. A Mixon/ Bobby Wagner match up is intriguing. I don't think our D line will be more effective than theirs. They play a hybrid 4-3 using a pure outside speed rusher and have WAY better linebackers than we do. We play a traditional 4-3 and our linebackers looked horrible in preseason. Their 7 players at the defensive line of scrimmage are simply better and faster than ours overall. Clowney is better than Dunlap, Wagner is better by a giant margin than any of our LBs. Mingo is better than any of our LBs. Atkins is better but Seattle can game plan him if they don't have to worry about our linebackers. Hopefully they have a plan for Pratt and Lawson to try and do something. Who knows how Ross or Willis will play, total unknowns. Mixon is better than Chris Carson but not by a wide margin, its easy to overlook West Coast NFC teams and their players. And if you look at the most important position, QB, there is no way you would ever choose Dalton over Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk we might run essentially a 5-2 with Hubbard Atkins Billings Glasgow Lawson in the 5 spots. Not sure where Dunlap is in that situation.

It will be interesting to see how this works considering they have never done it live in an actual game as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
