Will Bradberry shadow Boyd on Sunday?

superspynyg : 11/23/2020 10:10 am
Boyd is their best wr. Will we scheme to take him out of the fame buy having our best cb follow him around? Either way im not playing Boyd in fantasy.
If Green is healthy  
Mike in NY : 11/23/2020 10:13 am : link
And with Tee Higgins as well I am not sure that Boyd is their top WR.
Higgins

Is the best wr on cinci
One thing about the Cinci WRs is that they are bigger but not insanely  
Jim in Forest Hills : 11/23/2020 10:20 am : link
fast (now that Green is older).

Bradberry and Yiadom "should" match up well here on the outside, both being bigger stronger guys. And want to give it up to Yiadom and the coaching staff. I thought he was just dead weight but he has improved.
Bradberry just  
JoeyBigBlue : 11/23/2020 10:20 am : link
Needs to stay on his side and cover the guy in front of his guy. Those 3 receivers are good. The key is pressuring Lindley and making him make mistakes.
Our D-Line  
JoeyBigBlue : 11/23/2020 10:22 am : link
Needs to dominate this game. They are playing a bad O-Line with an inexperienced QB. Time for these guys to play to their billing.
The Giants are probably better than Cincy on O, D and ST  
BillT : 11/23/2020 10:26 am : link
It’s probably the first time this season that is true. I’m not so worried about specific matchups so much as just outplaying them all over the field.
Isn't Boyd  
pjcas18 : 11/23/2020 10:27 am : link
the slot receiver?

Does Bradberry typically cover the slot?

Seems like he'd be on Tee Higgins if I had to guess.
Green not looking like much this year  
LBH15 : 11/23/2020 10:31 am : link
although I think he scored yesterday for once.

Boyd and Higgins are far more impactful.

How did their backup QB look once Burrow was injured?
Finley sucked  
giants#1 : 11/23/2020 10:37 am : link
3-10 for 30 yds and an INT, granted WSH has a very good D.

Finley got 3 starts last year and finished 41-87 (47%) for 474 yds with 2 TDs 2 INTs.

It's surprising they didnt bring in a better backup qb for year 1
If Higgins is in the slot, put the rookie CB Holmes on him  
Ivan15 : 11/23/2020 10:45 am : link
Rookie vs rookie until Holmes shows he can’t handle it.

Green is still a very good WR. The issue there is the Bengals offensive line is trash, Green is deep threat, and Burrows likes to take advantage of the underneath.
If we don't win in convincing fashion, this team has problems

Ryan Finley is atrocious and no Mixon. Their defense and offensive line both suck. The only reason they didn't look as bad as the Jets is because Burrow is very good in the quick passing game and they have a bunhc of studs on the outside. Plus they were playing behind against a lot of teams playing soft much of the time. Not sure what to make of Burrow because of that, but he's a billion tiimes better than Finley and there's plenty of tape out there on him.

CoughlinHandsonHips : 11/23/2020 12:04 pm : link
They have one of the best RT's in the league.

I hope our DLine is up for it
Problem is the GIants  
Simms11 : 11/23/2020 12:27 pm : link
seem to make back up QBs look like Joe Montana. Hopefully, this staff will be better prepared for this back up. Cinci has some very solid pieces on offense and so you can't take them lightly. We know what happens when that occurs!

Well then it sure doesn't sound like a Giant win is any kind of statement.

I am good with a one point win at this stage. That statement works just fine.
If this team doesn’t win by at least a TD coming off a bye  
Zeke's Alibi : 11/23/2020 12:54 pm : link
I don’t like our playoff odds. I was shocked to see the game open 4 and the sharps rightly hammers that to 6. I’d imagine public will be on us as well so wouldn’t be surprised to see 7 by game time.
defensive approach  
Reale01 : 11/23/2020 1:18 pm : link
Pressure or drop in coverage?

You are acting like we are a contender. We have 3 wins. If we get win number 4 I will be happy.

Still the very worst Googs.

It wouldnt be so bad if you didnt post as frequently as ypu do.
We would all like a 21 point

pasting and a laugher. Not sure they are good enough to do that.

Even a .500 football team (which I believe we are at this point) should beat this garbage bengals teams by at least one score. A contender should win by 3 TDS plus.
I saw some..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/23/2020 11:51 pm : link
crazy stat where the Bengals have trailed in something like 77% of the games. Even when they have won, they have come from behind.
Here's another crazy stat  
mittenedman : 11/24/2020 7:16 am : link
which was mentioned on the TV broadcast of last week's game:

The Giants have had a double-digit lead in their last 6 games.

It's coming.

I am interested to see what Patrick Graham has in store of the Bengals. After initially being displeased with the hire, he is slowly winning me over. This will be a great test for the defensive coaching staff. Lots of internal drama, coming off a bye week vs. a backup QB and RB.

You'd think Finley should be pressure, but the Giants don't seem to have the man coverage options to go that route.

Do we throw our helmets on the field or do we smash them like an empty beer can?



First two series  
Lurker : 11/24/2020 8:49 am : link
The Giants first two deefesive series will tell the tale of how this game will unfold. Yeah, I know the Giants have led games and lost and the Bengals have trailed and won. But this is a different game mentally. Giants are rising and Bengals will come out with a win one for Joe mentality. The Giants defense needs to strangle them and pull their hearts out early.
Playing an inexperienced backup with only a handful of starts  
chick310 : 11/24/2020 9:31 am : link
like Finley probably means mixing up coverages a lot early on to give him a bunch to think about. And likely a few surprises on third downs to see how he handles himself under different pressure packages.
We’ve had veteran QBs confused with our exotic zone blitzes  
Zeke's Alibi : 11/24/2020 9:38 am : link
I expect a ton of them this week. Wish I had Giants D in fantasy
