Bengals vs Bills – Week 3 Recap

September 23, 2019 Kaleb Riesenberg Leave a Comment

The Cincinnati Bengals are now 0-3 after losing yet another nail biter to the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo.

The Bengals offense was non-existent in the first half after not getting a first down until 1:57 left in the second quarter when quarterback Andy Dalton hit Auden Tate for 24 yards to move the sticks. Andy Dalton finished the game with 20 completions on 36 attempts for 249 yards, 1 passing touchdown, 1 rushing touchdown and 2 interceptions. Joe Mixon finally looked like his old self as he rushed for 61 yards on 15 carries and 2 receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Tyler Boyd had a quiet first half, like everyone on offense, but in the second half he came up big with a couple of 3rd and long receptions for first downs in the 4th quarter. Wide receiver Auden Tate got the start as well and had a great game with 6 catches for 88 yards.

Unlike last week, the Bengals defense played pretty well considering how much they were on the field. For how much they had to play and how bad the offense was, going into the half only down 14-0 was a win. They forced a turnover when defensive lineman Sam Hubbard stripped Bills running back T.J. Yeldon deep in Bengals territory in the 2nd quarter. The Bengals should have had another fumble recovery when Josh Allen got stripped by Bengals defensive back Brandon Wilson, linebacker Nick Vigil fell on the ball while inbounds then he rolled out of bounds after recovering the ball but the refs said he was out of bounds.

The Bengals looked liked the same team that the 49ers blew out last week in the first half, but in the second half they looked like a completely different team as they fought back and showed heart. Darius Phillips took a kick return 92 yards to the house when the Bengals were down 8-0 but it was called back on a soft holding call on Auden Tate and I believe if that would have stood they would have a 1 in the win column. The Bengals look ahead to Pittsburgh next week as they play the 0-3 Steelers on Monday Night Football.

Bengals vs Bills – Week 3 Preview

September 18, 2019 Kaleb Riesenberg Leave a Comment

The Cincinnati Bengals will be on the road to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, September 22nd at 1pm EST.

The Bengals are coming into this game with an 0-2 record after receiving a beatdown at the hands of the 49ers this past week as they lost 41-17. The Bengals defense was nonexistent as they gave up 572 yards and the offensive line gave quarterback Andy Dalton very little time to do anything or let plays develop. Also, for the 2nd straight week, Joe Mixon was limited in the run game and was only able to gain 17 yards on 11 carries. A few bright spots were wide receivers Tyler Boyd and John Ross, Boyd had 10 catches for 122 yards and Ross had 4 catches for 112 yards and a late garbage-time touchdown in the 4th quarter.

The Bills are coming into this game 2-0 after beating the New York Giants by a final score of 28-14. The Bills defense came up with 2 interceptions against Eli Manning and the Giants while Josh Allen did not turn the ball over and had both a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown. Frank Gore also had 68 yards rushing for the Bills on 19 carries and had a touchdown and Isaiah McKenzie had a receiving touchdown. Some of the bright spots for Buffalo on the offensive side were wide receivers Cole Beasley and John Brown, Beasley had 4 catches for 82 yards and Brown had 7 catches for 72 yards.

If the Bengals want to get their first win of the season, they have to get better offensive line play especially with regards to run blocking. They have been too one-dimensional offensively due to not having much of a run game. Defensively they need to rebound from last weeks poor showing by not giving up the boundaries and simply tackling better.

Bengals Week 3 Preview – Cincinnati at Carolina

September 21, 2018 Caleb Pierson 1 Comment

Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-1)

After watching the Bengals first two games of the year in person, I’ll get the chance to relax a little and watch week three from my house. As many of you know who read my preview last week, I was in attendance at the game against Baltimore this past Thursday. I have to say, being at the game this year versus games last year is quite different as there is a different energy and atmosphere at the stadium. Fans are more optimistic, more into the game, and a whole lot louder! It was an awesome time last Thursday and I am looking forward to my next game against Miami. Until then, I will enjoy watching the next two games on TV.

To briefly recap last week’s game, we saw the duo of Andy Dalton and A.J. Green look unstoppable. We continue to get big turnovers on defense. But that’s not what I want to recap, it’s the injuries. As many of you know, in this weeks game against Carolina, the Bengals will be without center Billy Price and running back Joe Mixon. Price is an important piece to the offensive line, however Trey Hopkins did not play bad in his place. The biggest injury for me is Joe Mixon’s. We have seen the offense lean on him early this year, and after two weeks he was second in the league in rushing. According to Mixon, he is feeling awesome after his surgery and it sounds like we could see him back in week 5 or 6.

Now onto week 3, where the Bengals travel to Carolina to play the Panthers. The Bengals sit atop the AFC North, undefeated. The Panthers are playing for their hometown that was just hit with a devastating storm. If the Bengals can pull out the win they will be sitting in the driver seat in the AFC North.

Matchups to watch for…

The Bengals Linebackers vs. Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey – The Bengals secondary should have no issue containing the Panthers wide outs, which puts all the pressure on the front seven to contain McCaffrey and Newton. Cam can be frustrated, which at times can affect his play. If the Bengals front can get to him early and knock him around it could be enough to throw off the offense. McCaffrey is one of the best pass catching backs in the league. Covering running backs with linebackers hasn’t always been the Bengals strong point. This offense runs through these two guys. This will be the toughest test of the year so far, the Bengals must stop Cam and/or McCaffrey to disrupt the offense. Stop one of them and it should stop the entire offense.

Trey Hopkins vs. Kawann Short – As I mentioned before, Hopkins will get the start at center in place of the injured Billy Price. Last week Hopkins filled in for Price, giving up zero sacks and only a handful of pressures against a very talented Ravens front. This week he had the whole week to prepare for one of the league’s top defensive tackles, Kawann Short. If the Panthers are smart they will have Short lined up over Hopkins all game long as it should be one of their best mismatches up front. If Hopkins can contain Short in this game, Bengals fans will be able to sleep a little bit easier with Price on the sideline for the next 2-4 weeks.

Exterior Bengals Pass Rushers vs. Back up Offensive Lineman – With both starting tackles, Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams, out for this game and starting guard Trai Turner in the concussion protocol, the Panthers could be down three starting lineman. This should be a huge advantage for the Bengals talented defensive line. The Bengals d-line dominated during the preseason but haven’t had a “dominate” regular season performance yet. The Bengals should be able to get loads of pressure on Newton, disrupting his passing game. Newton can scramble, but as long as the Bengals linebackers contain him, he should see pressure in his face throughout the game.

Other things to watch for…

Last week the Bengals again did a very good job of overcoming injuries and still pulling out a win. They will again have to show us this week that they can continue to win with “the next man up”. They are also underdogs going into this game for the third straight week. This will be a tough game on the road with a few notable injuries. This is the game that will show us just who these Bengals are.

My Prediction: Bill Lazor has had 10 days to plan for an offense featuring Giovani Bernard. I have no doubt that Lazor will have a very good game plan for Sunday. I don’t see the offense missing much of a beat. It will all come down to the defense, if Cincys D can contain Cam Newton and frustrate him early I think the Bengals can win this game. The Bengals are dealing with injuries yes, but so are the Panthers. In addition to their lineman, Cam’s favorite target and pro bowl tight end, Greg Olsen, is also out for this game. The Panthers injuries should create more of an impact than the Bengals, and I think this is the difference in the game. I think it will be a close and tightly contested matchup but think a Randy Bullock field goal late in the game is the difference.

My Prediction: Bengals 24 Panthers 21

To put it plainly, the Bengals won a monster game today. It was a crazy afternoon at Paul Brown Stadium and despite committing 4 turnovers on consecutive drives in the 1st half, having several questionable penalties go against them all while playing against arguably the best QB in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers, the Bengals still walked off the field winners by a final score of 34-30.
