The bengals are a primarily shotgun based passing offense with a (mostly) pocket passer. The pats have had success against these high powered offenses before as they play dime & play into their strengths on defense. Think of how they've played against Herbert recently. The D is still susceptible mobile QBs that can expose their lack of speed in the middle. Not sure how much Joe will want to run in this one.

I think the D is going to come to play today. It'll make it that much worse if (when?) the offense lays another stinker. Hoping for something competent on that side of the ball is wishful thinking at this point IMO.

Would love to get him in as a consultant to start working with the team as soon as the Alabama season is over.

There's going to be a lot of deflated balls today.

All the so called "experts" (including Reiss and Lazar) are picking the Bengals. The only person picking the Patriots, Seth Wickersham.

Expert Predictions: Week 16 picks for Patriots vs. Bengals

A win would totally change the dynamic of the times. Would actually give me alot of confidence going into next week too. The team needs this one after last week , We’ll see

15-16 mph winds

There were some crazy wind gusts yesterday. I have to imagine that would affect the game, right?

Both teams will run the ball, but I think Burrow's arm may be better suited to the weather.

Stevenson is gonna need multiple really big runs for the Pats to win this game

Will this be another 3 pass attempt game from Mac?

Burrow's arm isn't that much stronger than Mac's.

Yup. Stevenson will need more yards than in last week's loss.

This really seems like a "connect the dots of BoB contract expiring" and bb saying "cant change offenses mid year" plus saban. I really dont think there are any actual sources behind it but just some clickbait to land on game day.
Also after emphasizing so much to move the shanahan scheme and move away from the older style of offense , why would they bring back BoB especially if he leaves in 2 yrs ?
This is just to drive media stories.BB will now be asked about this report or patricia's return .Bb will say , we will talk about dolphins . Media will say "BB didnt commit to patricia coming back" . Rinse repeat.
