Week 5: New England Patriots (4-0) @ Cincinnati Bengals (2-2)

[areobee401]

1 PM (ET) start on CBS.

Fully expect another close game for New England this week. Improving to 5-0 would be great. Would like seeing New Orleans and New England face off with both teams being undefeated. But need to take care of business this week first. Key for us will be putting pressure on Andy Dalton (same could be said for any QB, I know).

And hopefully whoever is handling commentary pronounces Bengals properly. I know how fired up some of you get when they don't.

Should be a good one.

Come on Cincy! A win would prevent the universe from getting out of whack. No reason why this bad of a team should be 4-0. They're luckier than Andrew Luck holding two four leaf clovers while following the other side of the rainbow on St. Patrick's Day.

Seriously. #freegio

It would be nice if someone aside of AJ Green would step up as well.

I'll say Bengals by a FG.

I was hoping they would use Eifert more as well. He has been good in the little bit he has played.
Gio definitely needs to be the feature back now though, BJGE has looked bad this year and Gio has looked good.

That or they actually have a good defense that has bailed out the out-of-synch offense.

"This bad of a team" is laughable. The Patriots are no where close to a bad team. They're not lucky to be 4-0...they're just a better team than the Bills who blew a lead, the Jets who looked 10x worse than "this bad team," they put a pretty good game up against the Bucs and then they shut down the Falcons for three quarters and held on when it mattered.

That's not luck, that's football, and it's getting annoying to see people keep saying that.


That said, I expect the Bengals to win. Talib Vs Green will be an awesome match-up to watch, but the big story is the Bengals running game Vs the Patriots D without Wilfork. And whether Gronk and Amendola play. And if Collie gets another concussion.

Patriots will hang around and be in it late but ultimately fall short by just over a touchdown.

No shame in losing to Cincinnati on the road when you have a banged up offense.

Go Cincy. Beat New England and then be success drunk when you play the Bills.

100% agree BJGE has just looked well..... slow but gio has been beating defenses all year. Im biased though because he came from UNC and there my favorite ncaa team
