adam Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The Bears open up as 1.5 favorites on the road against the Flacco-led Bengals. The Bengals just lost 39-38 to the lowly Jets, which followed allowing 31, 27, 37, 28, 48, and 27 since Week 2. So no team has scored less than 27 against the Bengals since the Browns in Week 1. So this has to be the breakout game for Williams. Anything less than 27 pts on offense and a solid passing game overall, will be a failure. I am losing faith in the defense that allowed 30 to Huntley, but think the defense rebounds enough for a Bears win 31-20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With little pass rush and 2-3rd string DBs, Chase and Higgens could have a huge game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I think Huntley proved just how bad our secondary is now, with the injuries taking out all of our top CBs. Flacco cannot be dismissed. With Chase and Higgins against our CBs, if they play as badly as they did against Baltimore, Flacco could easily give us another loss.

FWIW, Flacco led the Browns to defeat the Packers on week three of this year. Flacco was traded to Cincy 5 days and made the starter before he met the Packers again but wasn't able to pull of the win (losing 18-27). I'd make the case the Cincy's offense is better than Baltimore's - position wise. It appears the Bengals and Ravens may have swapped out on who has the worse defense. Right now Cincinnati is ranked 32nd overall, 31st against the pass and 30th against the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Stevenson somehow is back and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 13 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 13 minutes ago I would hope they would make some adjustments, and not having to worry as much about the scrambling QB, so the LBs can drop back deeper into the zones should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
