Its not really such a flip flop, Bengals Defense is impressive now, and Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph > Champ and... and... Smith wont be starting whos the other guy they got? Bengals defense is really fast and young, there will be mistakes but they can make big plays, and Bengals D-line is hands down better then Denvers. Denver as far as WR have Eddie Royal, and Marshall who doesnt even want to play for them, add that to a non existent run game and a scrub QB.... now on the other end... Bengals Have OchoCinco, Chris Henry and Laverneous Coles, denver wont cover it, and Palmer will beast.

Cincy had the number 12 defense last year...and added michael johnson, Rey Maualuga, a healthy Keith Rivers and Roy Williams...Comment

Yeah Cincy will win this one.
I think Denver will end up being ok but it's going to take them a few weeks to find their identity and mesh together as a team.

Update:
QB:
Chris Simms practiced today with a heavily taped ankle, Kyle Orton took the bulk of the snaps at starting QB with a glove on his throwing hand and Brandstater ran the scout team vs. the 1st string defense.
WR:
Marshall is ready to play and ironically is in talks to sign a new multi-year contract with Denver.
RB:
Buckhalter and Hillis will get the bulk of the carries.Comment

The thing you forget about the Broncos is that even though they have a very much improved pass rush, they aren't very good vs. the run still. The Bangles aren't a great running team but they are much improved from last season and Cedric Benson looks like he might do some damage. This match up is obviously the key to the game for both teams!Originally posted by silkamilkmonicoComment

You can have the best WR's in the world you still need decent and consistent play from the QB position. The Broncos QB that showed the most consistency in the preseason will be on the sidelines with a clipboard in his hands (Brandstater). That's not a good thing!
Cincy's Passing Attack > Denver's Passing Attack
No questions hands down... The real question is can our Secondary hold down the Bangles passing attack.Last edited by BroncoBlue; 09-09-2009, 09:35 PM.Comment

You are underestimating Denver's strength on Defense, it's secondary. Also Denver's pass rush is going to be a handful for the Bangles O-Line. I think Denver will win this battle and put a lot of pressure on Carson Palmer and force him into some turnovers
Oh ya and Denver has a stud o-line and a stable of capable running backs. Don't get too cocky "Rey Rey" is a Rookie.Comment

Did I miss Cincinnati's reign of supremacy or something?
If Carson Palmer can even match Ryan Fitpatrick's 4-7-1 record in 2008, I'll be shocked.Comment

They lost a bum who hasn't won shit since John Elway, and a below .500 quarterback, who's been overrated ever since he got drafted. They're going up against one of the worst head coaches in the NFL in Marvin Lewis, and a quarterback who is even more overrated than the below .500 quarterback that Denver lost. Did you forget that Palmer was 0-4 before he got injured last season?
Denver wins 10-2.Comment

I forgot to mention that Denver had one of the worst defenses in the league last year and only won half of their games because of their QB (who is gone now) because they had one of the worst run games in the league as well.
Good prediction but I don't see Denver getting a safety, their defense is not that good.
