Bengals about to hibernate for 10 days before Dallas

[erod]

The Bengals have a lay-up tonight against Miami at home, then a nice cozy rest until next weekend when they come to Dallas.

Meanwhile, Dallas travel to the west coast for a late afternoon CST game.

At least Dallas gets the Bengals at home. But that rest will make them even tougher to beat next weekend.

True, but something about the Bengals this year just looks a little....off.

I'm not as worried about Cincy as I was when the schedule came out, let me put it that way.

Hue Jackson. Their gamplan last season mirrored ours in 2014 with Jackson and it really gave Dalton a chance to succeed

Chicago played on Monday night before coming here Sunday, and I'm sure there are scads of other examples of teams being disadvantaged by the schedule.

This is big-boy football. Strap up and go to work.

People who expect the Bengals to have an easy lay up tonight vs. the Dolphins are in for a surprise. That Miami team lost a close one by 2 pts to the Seahawks in wk 1 then hung tough for the most part with the Pats before losing 31-24. Yes, their 1 win is over Cleveland, 30-24, but they played good teams in those 2 losses and they hung tough.

Bengals could be in for a rough night.

Eifert's availability will be huge.

Since when has a break been really really beneficial? Most teams coming off the bye week play sluggish on their return.

The worst part of our schedule is our last game against the EaGirls.
EaGirls play Thursday at home then play us 10 days later at home.

We play Monday night then travel to Philly for the afternoon game.
How the heck did they come up with that schedule?

I agree. I have been watching them and expected them to be much better than they have shown thus far.

My girlfriend and I keep saying every year - how is Marvin Lewis still the head coach there.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, we're getting our teeth kicked in next week. Probably the week after too. Then after the bye it's judgment day. We must atone for our sins.

Celebrate 3-1 but we'd really be 3-4.

Did your Wentz jersey and hair dye (red) come in the mail yet?

 

[Aven8]

Lay up with Miami??

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Isn't GB coming off their bye as well? Eh GB is off this week.

I know JG sucked last year, but if he figures out a way to win Sunday that's a heck of an accomplishment.

 

[Risen Star]

Miami's pretty bad.

 

[Aven8]

Miami's pretty bad.

Better than Chicago though. I'm not impressed with Cincy as I think Dalton isn't that great. Now AJ? He's a stud.

But hey we aren't decimated with injuries! Only our opponents

 

[jazzcat22]

Bengals would be a tough game if they only had 4 days rest.

Burfict is expected back tonight, but may only see limited action. Therefore a full go against us.
Eifert probably out tonight, but I wouldn't doubt he will be ready next week too.

But even at that I think they seem beatable so far this year.

But we can Zeke and Dak them for a win.

That is why The Eagles win the East - that last game.

I agree. Cincinnati is definitely beatable. they just don't exhibit the magic they had in recent years. Perhaps it's on the horizon and we'll catch them before they catch fire.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't even think Miami's roster is that bad but they haven't played well at all. This is why they've benched some starters tonight.

Cincinnati's got a pretty good defense and we have no QB.
