 |
|
|
Once again Dave Shula is attempting to beat his father. The younger Shula has the distinction of being the fastest coach to lose 50 games while the elder Shula is the winningest coach of all time.
I'm expecting a big game out of Dan Marino, as always. The Bengals defense has proven time and time again to be no match for him. The Bengals have also failed to establish a running game to compensate for the loss of second overall pick Ki-Jana Carter to a training camp injury. Looks like another easy win for Dan Marino and Don Shula.

I really think this game will end up closer then we expect and will come down to the leg of Stoyanovich... |

We stop the run (Benjarvus Green-Ellis) and force Dalton to best us in the air. We use Reggie to beat their 23rd ranked rush defense. This game will be a challenge for Tannehill who will be playing against CB's Hall, Kirkpatrick, and Clements who all appear to be coming back from injury this week and will be facing the D with the most sacks currently. If we can pass on them then I think we take this one.

I'm at a different game.
Its December 9 1991, a cool Monday night in Miami. I'm taking my 3 year old son to his first ever NFL game.
The Dolphins are in the playoff hunt but we have to win out. The Bengals are last in the AFC Central and look to be going nowhere,
I'm confidant that coach Shula will have Marino slinging away. Hopefully Mark Higgs and Sammie Smith will give some balance to our passing attack.

I think Ryan Tannehill should have a pretty good game but at this point I think we lose.
Miami 23
Cincinnati 24

Unlike last week..... I'm thinking we take this one!
Not afraid of Cincy... at all!
Other then Houston... we've been VERY competitive with quality opponents and should very well be 3-1 right now.
If DC can find the gap between the posts and our receivers keep a hold of the handle, I think we'll be fine.
And let the D go all beast mode like last week...
27-17 Us!

Nope, Kirkpatrick hasn't played a down yet this year. has a gippy ankle and won't play prob until November. Should have Leon Hall and Nate Clements back against yiou guys.
Hope your luck this year turns right about Monday guys.......

I think the Bengals have more talent, but this will probably be a very competitive game.. If Tannehill has a good game, it could go your way.. The Bengals will put an emphasis on the run and make him beat them.
I could also see Andy and the boys having a good day in the air...
Here's to a good game and no injuries... WHO-DEY
Bengals 27
Phins 23

I'll be upset if the Fins lose but I think you're right. If anyone has Dalton on your fantasy team, start him. Carroll and Marshall will get torched all game. |

Marshall is not playing in this game. Word is he has been struggling with a back injury for the past couple of weeks. This could be a big reason he has struggled as much as he has lately. He was solid in the preseason.

I heard he was practicing this week. He is questionable though.

Hmmm I'd say an injured rookie who hasn't seen the field yet would probably do more harm than good.

Well, Hartline does well against good competition. I'm starting him in fantasy and I'm banking on at least 200 yards tomorrow!  |
