Week 5: Bengals' Game Preparation - Inactives Announced


Recommended Posts

Picking the Bengals without hesitation. Buffalo will play a lot of close games and now with injuries hitting this will be a letdown.

why will this be a letdown? The players won't play as hard? I don't understand. I think they're pumped as a team and can't wait to play next week......and every team has injuries and they have all week to prepare

I expect a very close game.

 

Cinci's OL isn't getting the job done, but they have a potent stable of backs and WRs, so when Dalton is right, they can put up points.

 

Their front 7 is up and down; having Burfict back gives them a shot in the arm though.

 

Buffalo's LBs will need to be on their game if they want to limit the receptions out of the backfield, and the pass rush will need to force Dalton into mistakes.

 

Offensively, we know the model: grind clock and cash in on opportunities in opponent's territory.

 

Tough game methinks.

Without our best WR and leading tackler and maybe a couple other key injuries, it's setting up to be an awfully tough game.

 

Yes exactly.

 

And folks, I know Cinci has had its struggles. But this is still a very talented team not that far from playoffs. They just can't win in playoffs that's all. Cinci isn't as bad as their record says. And our Bills have over-achieved the talent we have.

McDermott also announced that cornerback EJ Gaines, acquired from the LA Rams along with a second round draft pick in exchange for WR Sammy Watkins, is day-to-day with a groin injury.

It's funny how the bills always have to 'earn the media/publics respect' because they have been mediocre for years, but no one else seems to have to do that. They lose to GB in OT, the week after changing OC, which is usually good to spark a week or 2 of much better play, then beat up on the browns, yet buffalo beat the defending NFL champions who were undefeated, the Broncos who were also undefeated, and lost a very tough close game to a Panthers team that just beat the Patriots, but it's the Bills who have to 'earn the respect'.

 

The bills are supposed to be scared of the Bengals defence? Like They were the Broncos defence? Let's see what Dalton and the new OC, can do when they have to face a NFL caliber defence and not the train wreck that is the Browns....

The media are licking the Rams taint now and what have they done?

Keep Burfict away from #25

Keep Burfict away from the QB, RBs, WRs, TEs....dude scares the crap out of me. He is a thug with a helmet as a weapon. To me personally, he has no business playing in the NFL; he wants to INJURE people.

The Rams have scored lots of points and play an exciting brand of football to the average fan. Not surprising they would get attention.

 

As for the Bengals game, it's not going to be a walk in the park. Their offense seems to be clicking after the OC was fired. Kind of like the Bills last year. Such moves have a way of getting everyone's attention. They did to the Browns what you'd think a decent team can do to the Browns. If the Bengals O had struggled vs CLE that might mean something. The Bengals D is pretty good and the Bills were offensively challenged before J Matthews injury. This one is no gimmee.

Gurley is being amazing, their #1QB in Goff is playing great, they're a story with the move to LA, and they're 3-1. I have no problem with the media covering them.

 

 

To that point, no 3-1 (or better) team other than us has an opponent win% over .500 (except Washington if they upset KC tonight).

 

Oh the Rams are a great story. Just making the point while the Bills have to "prove" something, the Rams don't have the same media expectations. Then again, I'm sure the NFL strongly encourages positive coverage for their newest football market to help spur interest.
