Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Ogunjobi on IR, that's no bueno for our interior DL. To make matters worse, sounds like Daniel probably is out too at DT. Not what you wanna hear when you're about to face Henry. We better pray Hendrickson is able to go or it could be a long day on defense. Offense better be ready to score points.

Despite being the #1 seed, Tennessee is probably the 3rd best team in the AFC.
I was feeling pretty good about the game until I read about the DL health.

It's a way better matchup than the Bills or Chiefs imo. But yeah, DL health could be a huge issue. Hubbard saved our ass last week, but not sure he can for the whole game this week without those guys. If Hendrickson is back though, I'll feel better. Reader is going to need to play the game of his life though and eat up some space.

Best matchup for Bengals ..Burrow vs Taneyhill. Defense not suspect it’s BAD ..Allen Mahomes would be a terrible playoff matchup. Bengals 2nd playoff game ..Vrabel Titans have playoff experience it’s possible the Titans dominate. Burrow had to be other worldly in his second play off game.

Worst matchup for the Bengal Defense in my opinion especially with Henry practicing today. Bengal rush D hasn't been good and that's rough on the matchup scale. Tanneyhill is not great but the WR situation for the Titans is brutal also. Tough matchup this weekend. Burrow better be on his A game.

Statistically, the Bengals are 5th in the NFL in rush defense.

No pressure on us..all of it on tanneyhil..check him playoff numbers..this game is winnable..I trust vonn/Pratt n company to be ready for the challenge..gotta get pressure
I'm a Dolphin fan, familiar with Tanneyhill. I think Vrabel has done an excellent job with him and that team overall. Bengals have to make Tanneyhill pass when they can get the rush going not when he can play action to Julio and AJ Brown. I hope the Bengals can pull it out.

Win or lose this is great for the Bengals future. I think they should grow from this but unlike the Bills last year the Bengals still have Brown and there remain questions on Taylor and his coordinators. Unlike the Bills whose coaching staff is considered top notch.

Maybe so. Looked like Jacobs could have done real damage last week if they stuck with the run and the Titans will lean heavily on it. I want the Bengals to

The issue is no Ogunjobi or Daniels in the interior, that's a huge hit come playoff time. Reader is solid, but he's one guy. Not really sure there's any solution there other than LBs stepping up and scheming appropriately. Gotta stack the box and hope Julio and Brown don't torch us too bad. Zero bear and pray for the best imo.

Agreed with the above that the future is bright regardless of the outcome tomorrow. Obviously I hope we win, but hard to be upset with how this season went down. I think we're 1 OL and a few defensive players away from being elite, which I think we can easily accomplish through the draft and FA if we're smart. But enough of that shit, let's go win this thing against all odds.
