Cincy's offense would give us fits, but I like our offense against them. Cardinals look weak as hell.

Haven't watched much of them this year, but from what I've seen it seems like a dink and dunk show with a couple deep shots down the field. Short passes seem to destroy us when we decide to play prevent defense after getting the lead, but if we stay aggressive on defense, I think we could take them.

Short to mid passes with a stellar run game that takes the occasional deep shot down field. They have a variety of ways to attack, and that would be what hurts us.

Last year Bennett compared us to Seattle, we were the whole hot sister or cousin he couldn't get with,

That ring a bell? Tie that to Cincy being a sister city

Fug Rodney Harrison, could have sworn I heard him say "Please lose" during our highlights.

Got it.  Wasn't it a hot cousin?  But I get it now.

I think we could be competitive when it comes to stopping a short to mid passing attack, but the strong run game is what worries me. We tend to let people run on us for some reason and that might be our biggest weakness.

Before today, I was worried about stopping the short passing game. We did very well against it today, but I think Cincy executes better than Washington. The biggest concern is the run game, and maybe the fact that Cincy has an Oline that can keep Dalton clean.

EDIT: It feels really good to talk about legitimate concerns on a match up that can only happen in the Super Bowl.

To be fair, at the beginning of the broadcast, Dungy was talking about the Panthers potentially going undefeated, and I'm pretty sure I heard Harrison say something to the effect of "I've been there... it's better to lose one."  So, I think his "please lose one" comment was supposed to be more commentary about it being more advantageous for the Panthers to lose a game.
