The Network Executive who made the call to switch this game to 1 PM is no longer an Executive.

 

I can see why they want to air Bears-Packers in the late window, but flexing it meant the early window on FOX was Seahawks-Falcons, Titans-Browns and Commanders-Vikings. As CBS have Steelers-Ravens, FOX want something to go up against it. Bengals-Bills does that job.

 

I was thinking it was daft to flex a game involving both Burrow and Josh. Especially as the Bengals are now clinging on to last chance saloon.

The Bengals are given up 31 ppg.  31st in run defense.  31st in pass defense.  32nd in scoring.  We better be able to move the ball and score this game.

Cook/Davis/Johnson all day

Any early reads on the forecast... planning on coming in from Ohio if the weather permits...

Bengals cut loose Lou Anarumo, who is now with the Colts.  he always seemed to have our number when we played the Bengals.

 

Cinci is 31st in Run Defense, 32nd in pass defense, so this could be a shootout, probably why over/under is 53.5.

Weather Channel is saying SUN AM snow 40% chance, high 28 degrees, but cold air mass dropping to 9 degrees at night.  West winds off the lake 10-16 mph.

I know it's a week away, but the weather may play a part.

And for the first time in a while a windy, cold day that limits the passing attack would definitely be in the Bills favor.  

 

If the weather is crap I see a game like yesterday's where the Bills ground the Bengals down late.  If the weather is great and the passing game is enabled I see this game going a lot like the Tampa Bay game with the Bills winning a shootout.

I want to see Burrow cold and pouting.

44 against Tampa at home.  They can match that against the Bagles, unless they go -3 in turnovers.
