I expect maximum effort from the Pats and maybe Cincy will come out rusty but if you look at the x's and o's of this game it's Cincy's to lose.
The Patriots do not pass the eye test, they have looked really bad in 3 out of 4 games and it was the special teams and defense that got the win vs. Minny who was without Peterson and Castle under center.
I am a Pats fan and it's clear as day to me that the strength of this team (the offensive line) is gone.
I thout this would be a top notch defense this year with all the draft picks and the signing of Revis but they are still not getti any pressure on the qb, and that tackling last night was pathetic.
