Ryan Finley will make mistakes
The Bengals will be starting Ryan Finley at quarterback this week, a player that is bound to make mistakes. Whether Finley is good or not does not matter much considering the Bengals are putting him in a position to fail, without an offensive line, an unmotivated team, a lack of weapons, and going against a team that is as fired up as any other team in the league.
The Raiders forced Philip Rivers to make mistake after mistake last week, and things should be no different against the Bengals. The pass rush will get to Finley all game, forcing him to panic and throw the ball to the other team.
The Raiders defense has been playing great as of late, as well as the rest of the team. If the Raiders can shut down Philip Rivers, there is no reason they should not be able to dominate Ryan Finley. Remember, A.J. Green has been ruled out as well, putting the Bengals at a significant disadvantage in the passing game.
