Who you got? Week 5

[ThoughtExperiment]

Yeah, David Moore thought Tyron was more likely to go than Green, and would probably be fine this week.

Red zone woes

The Bengals rank 11th in total offense, and third in passing. But they are dead last in the red zone, converting only 30.8 percent of their opportunities into touchdowns.

Cincinnati went 1 for 3 in red-zone chances against the Miami Dolphins last Thursday. . .

The return of tight end Tyler Eifert, who missed the first four games while recovering from off-season ankle surgery, will help. Eifert was the team’s second-most targeted player in the red zone last season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Going full Bad Fan. Bungles.

Bengals 38 Cowboys 24. Ickey Woods and James Brooks to run riot.

Really? Heath as Baileys back up? Great idea coach

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Looks like Eifert got some other injury and probably won't play. Major plus for us.

 

[Bluenoser]

Switching your pick?

I'm taking the Bengals 31-24.

Ain't no one in our secondary covering AJ Green. Bengals win by double digits.

Ain't no one in our secondary covering AJ Green.

Don't need to cover him while he sits on the sideline watching Dak and Zeke dominate.

 

[MrB]

Cowboys. The run game will continue to get better in spite of the OL woes. The Dallas run game will dominate this one.

I can see it now. Gimpy legged, old CB Scandrick one on one vs Green

If Bailey is ruled out I'm picking The Bengals

With Heath as the back up kicker if Bailey is out we may be in big trouble.

In practice Wednesday Heath went 3 for 6 with a self admitted max yardage of 35

They haven't seen a defense this good yet. CIN hasn't allowed a rushing TD, and that's playing run heavy teams like NYJ, PIT, and DEN.

The idea that Jeff Heath may be the backup kicker is the Cowboys version of Idiocracy.

Plus they get Burfict back this week, at least last I read.

Their losing Eifert is huge, though. As much as they've struggled in the red zone, that could be a couple of four-point swings.
