Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am just not that familiar with them. I know who the coach is and I know AJ Green plays for them but that's about it. They made the playoffs last year but were they not one and done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 There are always reasons to worry. No win is automatic. That said, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdburner Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) If Dalton doesnt wet the bed in those playoff games they would have made atleast to the afc championship games I believe.

Top Flight Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Good team. Defense is legit and offense is all AJ Green honestly. I'm gonna love watching Trufant vs AJ oh my goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 There are always reasons to worry. No win is automatic. That said, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic as well. Well I know that much but I honestly draw a blank when it comes to the Bengals. The three names that come to mind are Dalton, Green and Lewis. Other than that the only thing I really remember about them is their players used to stay in trouble with the law a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 How good were they on defense last year? Better than the Saints at 4th in the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outofsight2484 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Undefeated at home kast yr in the reg season. Stout D, AJ Hreen and Benard are as dangerous as they get. Going to be a very tough game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Even Bleed Red Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 We better be. Last year when we practiced with the Bengals during the offseason their lines manhandled ours. That's when the worry started for Coach Smith and company. Sorta like what the Texans did to us this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natod12 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 gio, aj, and a beast defense. probably one of the top 3 teams we play all season and being in the afc we aren't all that familiar with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Really great front 7 on defense...(better than the Saints IMO)...their cornerbacks can be had though.Take away A.J. Green though and their offense doesn't stack up with ours. Ryan is better than Dalton...Overall though Cincy is a very, very good football team.Falcons will have their hands full.

Keith Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hopefully Atkins is still not at full speed. Back in the preseason they were talking about how he's still not totally confident in his leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalFalconFan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 1. Cincy's defense is much stronger than the Saints' defense.2. AJ Green is legit. 3. They are underrated and solid. That said, the Falcons' offense is higher octane. AJ Green can be boxed up with two defenders all game, making their offense much more vanilla. And Dalton can be rattled. Of course, that means the Falcons must generate a pass rush.

Dirtybird#11 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 They are like we were in the 2008-2010 years. They are trusting their RBs an solid weapons to provide Dalton comfort an when Dalton is ready he will either rise to the occasion an become a great QB or fail.... We should win but we could just as easily lose... It's a toss up game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Their defense is stout! Front 7 is very good, secondary isn't too shabby either. These guys are gonna bring much more pressure than the Saints. We need S.Jax to ball, if not this will be a much harder game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dabirds Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Cincy is good at home and not bad on the road. The Bengal D is very good. The Cincy offense is good enough. This will be a close one that Falcons probably lose, but I'll be predicting a Falcons loss for every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Why worry? The Bungles lead the all-time series 7-5. We're on the road. They have a solid defense. AJ Green.Why not worry? We beat them last three times that we've played. They're wearing road whites at home and traditionally play poorly at home in white jerseys. We're playing outdoors in September instead of December.

Francis York Morgan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Think us in 2010, but with a defense nearly as good as the Seahawks. I'm not confident in us. We can get it, but I'm far from confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockerfalcon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I wouldn't say they were under rated in fact most posters seem to be over rating them a tad bit imo. I see them as an average to above average team. They play in a very watered down conference in a division that's been in a decline the past couple of years. They have an average quarterback and a stud WR with a second year back. They managed only one touchdown against a suspect Baltimore team and blew a 15-0 lead. Their defense is good-great but they couldn't contain an aging Steve Smith and gave up 70 yards to a 3rd string running back. Atkins did not look like his usually dominate self and Burfict is battling a concussion. Even on the road I feel like this is a team we can beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power O Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's their home opener, and they just beat down a division rival on the road, where they haven't won much. If we opened on the road and beat down the Saints, would you want to come to the dome and play us? Like other posters have said, they've got a mean defensive front and one of the best wr's in the league. I'm not convinced their defense is going to be able to maintain its intensity with Zimmer gone and the injury concerns. Ryan's quick realse and the sheer number of playmakers we have on O could be the difference.They've got a lot to prove, but so do we.
