00:00let's start off with Jets Bengals because that's where everybody wants to be in Cincinnati coming

00:05up this week Bengals six and a half point favorites against the Jets total 43 and a half

00:11it looks like we got some little bit of a mini breaking news situation where ESPN's reporting

00:17that Tyrod Taylor's now banged up so maybe it is Justin Fields starting yet again and

00:22you know I kind of you know honestly I didn't think the Jets were going to win last week it's

00:27not that I picked them to win or anything but I did think that the offense would be opened up a lot

00:31more based on what we saw the week before Mike but it didn't happen again and so now I'm looking at

00:37this total of 43 and a half and thinking Flacco probably already had his best game of the season

00:41is this the race to 20 in this one well that's a great question and a lot of it may depend upon

00:48how well the Jets attack Flacco the Steelers left that on the table there were a lot of there was a

00:56lot of conversation about the fact that Flacco was getting the ball out of his hands quickly but

01:00there were a lot there were many occasions when Flacco was able to drop back and find a

01:04open receiver against the zone I think the Jets will be more aggressive and it will be fascinating to see

01:11how Flacco holds up against that the offensive line has not been particularly impressive for the

01:20Bengals so we'll see whether or not they're able to get to Flacco I would say that honestly it that

01:28the Bengals will have to show that they can't score against this team and the Jets at this point they

01:35seem to fear putting their offense on the field and when you're in that position it's hard to do

01:40anything successfully you go back to the fourth quarter when the Jets really had a chance to maybe

01:44flip things a little bit they weren't going to become all of a sudden the uh uh the 2007 Patriots

01:50but uh they could have flipped things a little bit there and instead they completely retreated they

01:56were up 11 to 10 they had multiple opportunities either to extend that lead or to come back from 13 to

02:0211 and they they honestly looked like they feared having their offense on the field that's not

02:07Justin Fields's fault that's that's a coaching decision
