Ok I live right in the heart of Bunguls country (45 minutes from Cincy) and I can tell you that team is an absolute dumpster fire at the moment and the fans want heads to roll. 

But, what scares me is that outside of the OL that team has talent all over the place.

 

Appreciate the insight and agree the Bengals have talent, but in addition to the OL being in shambles there is also the little issue of the insurrection involving the starting QB.

The frustrations with Dalton, among fans and teammates, are longstanding and his play has been so putrid in 2017 that Kaepernick is now being talked about as a genuine alternative.

If Dom allows this team, which is averaging 4.5 points at home to come into Lambeau and go off, it will be right up there with his making Colin K into a supposedly legitimate NFL star QB.

No way Cincy should score 20 on Sunday in Green Bay.

Good points and have heard that stuff all morning today about how unnamed Cincy players want the Bunguls to sign Kaepernick.  I am still very leary of the Dalton and Green combo on Sunday.  Over the past few years that combo has put up some pretty good numbers at times.  That and the Dom factor.  His defenses just have this habit of giving up big numbers to a QB or WR that hasn't been doing too well.

Boris, I couldn't agree more about comparing this defense to a movie about the Titanic.  It may look good starting out and things are going smoothly but Dom will steer towards the iceberg.

If the Bengals sign Kapernick, we'll lose big because Dum has no answer for the Read Option.  However, my local high school teams stop it every Friday night.

It is simply not true that Dom has no answer for the read option. If you remember correctly, after getting embarrassed by Kaepernick's record setting running performance in the 2012 playoff game, Dom & his staff studied the read option all offseason.

And quick studies they were, for in game 1 of the 2013 campaign, the Pack shut down Kap in the running game.

Course, Kap also threw for a career high 412 yards and 3 TDs in that 34-28 loss to the Niners, but never, never let it be said that Dom did not shut down the read option that day in SF.

Seems to me that I read somewhere that ARod has never beaten the Bengals. I am hoping GB isn't taking Cincy too lightly because of their record or because of Dalton's play. I look for the score to be closer than everyone here thinks it will be. Maybe 24-17 GB.  Everyone plays tough against GB and getting a win at Lambeau may be the feather in the cap Cincy has been looking for to turn their season around. Never underestimate your opponent!
