I'm just saying they're a really good team, offensively and defensively, and getting lucky every time we play them isn't a great strategy. I know Andy/Spags know that better than anyone, so I'm not worried.

Nobody is banking on luck.
We're saying that it's possible the Bengals took a step back on defense. If they did, their entire strategy is going to change - it might HAVE to.
Their offense right now is built for balance, at least more balance than say the Chiefs or Bills. Burrow has never had to just flat out carry the team and when he's been called upon to do it, he's often done exactly what he did against us - make an unfathomable mistake at the worst possible time.
I'm not saying they cannot transition to a more imbalanced, passing-based offense. I'm saying they haven't proven they CAN and until they do, it's fair to question it.
