2 things about the bengals after week 1

[Philter25]

Your absolutely right about Bowens. Thats a BIG hit in our Dline. If Surtain doesnt play also.......ugg. Take our best pass defender out and our best run defender out......

 

[Iamlegend]

two things about the bengals:

1. Solid Passing Game. Peter Warick and Chad Johnson will rip **** up, AGAIN.
2. Solid Run Game. Rudi Johnson took Cory Dillons job for a reason. He has amazing skill and running abilities.

If our Defense doesnt show up for this game we will loose. It doesnt matter how well Feeley plays because carson palmer already showed he can play and play well. This game will seperate us from a decent team or being a rebuilding team.

All I know is that no team will be leading comfortably untill well into the 4th quarter.

That's the thing.

Nobody's really as bad or as good as they look at this time of year. Teams like Philly will come back down to earth. And teams like us will rise. How much?? We'll find out. But starting fast/slow is something that always happens in the NFL.

Isn't it the other way around?

The Dolphins usually start off hot and come down to earth toward the middle-End of the season while Eagles improved late in the season.

WOW, great post by a fin fan, who would imagine?

i'm a HUGE jets fan, and not ****y or big-headed after the bengals(not bungles) win.

watch out for chad johnson, i dont care how good ANY teams secondary is, this guy is really good.

my props to cincy. palmer is the real deal and this post explains everything perfectly, this should be a battle come sunday.

The Bengals have one of the best offenses in the league and the defense will play much better with the return of Simmons and O'Neal.

Miami - 10
Cincinnati - 34

what team doesn't have one of the best offenses in the league. Sheese

 

[FanMarino]

the defense isn't as bad as it looked, and the offense isn't as good. defensively, the bengals got beat because the jets were more physical, especially on the o line, plus cinncy had some young guys in there because of injuries. on offense, i think palmer and the bengals had success against what is an atrocious jets secondary.

on sunday night i don't think we'll see the bengals give up 31 points, but at the same time i don't think they will score 24.

If its true what u say that the Jets OL was more physical then thats a worry. Do you think we can be as physical with them considering our OL is still learning to play together?

Well for a Bengals fan you seem to have your head screwed on pretty straight there WKRP. The reason we go off about how good the Dolphins will be this Sunday is...............................wait for it....................BECAUSE YOU ARE ON A DOLPHINS FAN SITE!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL ELSE DID YOU EXPECT TO HEAR!!!!!!!

Peace.

Well, im not surprised by the homerisms around here, there are plenty of those on every teams board. I guess I just hoped for some more sound opinons, which Im sure there are plenty of here as well.....just havent run across that yet.

I wonder what makes Fins fans think that things will be better for thier run D? Sure ours was bad, but the Dolphins did give up 100 yards to a man making his first NFL start in Chris Brown....in the first half! If not for that Brown ankle injury, could be have put up similar numbers to Curtis Martin? Maybe. The Fins D is not what is used to be and the run D is really missing Bowens. Rudi will run early and often in this one as our O-line starts to get healthy.

Rudi Johnson will run for

98 yards on 22 carries and 1 TD
also one TD through the air.....

Dude, aside from Browns 52 yard run.. He wasnt Barry Sanders out there.. That was the first time Miami had given up a 100 yard rusher since before last season..

McNair was held to 73 yards passing.. Our defense played good, and they were on the field a lot longer than they should have been..

Not only did Feeley come in and spark the offense, but they worked well together and its only going to improve now with over a WEEK to prepare for it.. I can tell you right now, its going to be a different Dolphins team on the field Sunday Night..

Feeley, Gordon, Chambers, Booker, McMichael... Learn those names well because you will hear them repeatedly Sunday Night..

BTW your defense licked last year, and showed it again in week one.. What makes you think they are all of the sudden gonna wake up Sunday Night? They wont because they suck, period.

Palmer isnt throwing against a bunch of no ones like NY... Madison, Knight, Edwards, Howard, and hopefull Surtain will be ready to go.. And believe me, its not gonna be a field day like it was for you against NY.

Predictions:
Dolphins 24
Bengals 10

Feeley throws 2 TD passes.. Both to Chambers
Gordon rushes for 113 and a TD
And the Miami D Forces 3 Turnovers

For Cincy, Palmer is gonna get his first taste of what a real Defense is like.. Hell throw 2 picks, and also an TD.

BOLD PREDICTION: Rudi Johnson will NOT rush for 100 yards. Our defense was embarassed on the ground last week, it wont happen again and im sure they know they have something to prove this week
