TheVillain112 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 GAMEDAY INFO The Bengals will travel to play the Seattle at 4:05 PM ET on CBS. Broadcasting Crew: Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta Matchup Last Matchup: 2015, Bengals win 27-24 (OT) in Cincinnati 2018 Records: Seattle (10-6), Cincinnati (6-10) Spread: CIN +10 KEYS TO VICTORY Motions, Jet Sweeps, Play Action...Anything that will buy Andy Dalton time behind the OL Tyler Eifert. The Bengals offense (and particularly Andy Dalton) is best, when Tyler Eifert is involved. The 2015 game against Seattle came down to the wire, and Eifert had a monster game to keep us in it. Unique defensive sets/formations. Bengals only have 4 LBs on the roster, so I'm expecting some 5 man fronts and safeties playing LB to keep the Seattle offense guessing. Limit the big plays on defense. Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett can break the game open anytime. Let him grind it out on the ground and passes to RBs, just don't let Lockett get over the top. Limit penalties. O/U is 5 False start + Holding penalties for the OL PREDICTION Seattle - 27, Cincinnati - 20 "EXPERT PICKS" TBD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 For some reason I see Jadeveon Clowney lining up on Bobby Hart and it not going so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don't think they're going to win - Seattle's opening day home record under Pete is just too overwhelming. Maybe if this were a midseason game and the Bengals could catch them napping. But not week 1. A victory in my mind would be winning with the spread (around -10). Keep it close and that will be a pretty impressive opener for Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 256-0 Seattle pete Carroll is a coaching diety. Wilson is a HOF QB. Too many weapons. And we are "just" the Bengals. Well that's the media take. Keep it close. A field goal decides it late. Professionals don't get moral win credit, but Taylor earns some respect, and we win at home next week.

TheVillain112 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Seattle's dedication to run the ball and take it out of Russell Wilson's hand is probably why we cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just set up a 6-1-4 defense and shutdown the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This one could be ugly. Seahawks should win pretty easily. Bengals are a bad team, Seahawks are above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVillain112 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 The LBs we do have aren't bad against the run: Vigil, Evans, Pratt, and Brown. We really need Billings to step up and own the middle against the run. If he doesn't, then I don't mind a quick hook and getting Tupou in there. It's Russell Wilson extending the play and the 20 penalties our OL will get that worries me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Bristow Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Maybe a 6-0-5 with no linebackers or a 5-0-6. Could do something with 3 corners, three safeties and 5 down lineman. This will be a tough one to win. First game against a strong team with one of the best home field advantages in football is tough. then you consider the Bengals are not quite going to be a finished product yet. Probably the least likely win on our schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
