[*Awful Llama*]

Six-plus hours and counting.

Prime must be giddy over them actually having a game that should be good. They'll have no idea what to do with it

The season is on the line tonight. If we lose, chances of making the playoffs drop to about 10%. I believe we need 10 wins to make the playoffs. And with a lose tonight, we would need to go 5-2 in final 7 games. I don’t see that happening.

[BengalsLUFC]

Stomach has been in knots all day.

It’s basically a playoff game in November we can’t afford to lose it banged up or not we have to find a way.

It really does have the chance to make for one epic story. Coming off a brutal loss, Thursday night game with the Ravens and their stadium all in black, us being shorthanded. It's the stuff season-defining wins are made of and I am here for it!

Bengals are wearing their all-white uniforms with orange helmets. Baltimore wearing all black with their crowd being asked to do a blackout (that's easy...try striping the stadium)

My brain keeps saying the Ravens have this game in the bag but my gut tells me the Bengals will rise to the occasion and win. It might come down to a last second Evan McPherson field goal.

I’m going to church before the game starts and I’ll be back in time for kickoff. The priest said our meeting will end early so he can watch the game too; he’s a huge Bengals fan.

The bad news is I don’t feel good about this one. The good news is I felt really good about the Texans game.

I never feel good about playing the Ratbirds. Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews are just unstoppable. All Lou Anarumo can hope for is to limit their productivity; they’ll get some big gains so keeping them out of the Red Zone is important. The other issue is Justin Tucker whose field goal range is the entire stadium.

That's awesome! I go to church on Sunday morning so I don't have to deal with time conflicts.

If we play like we did against the 49ers - we win!!

We played lights out.

But that’s our only chance IMHO

[BengalFanInNJ]

Bengals offensive line needs to buck up and play lights out tonight. They got their asses handed to them last week so I’m hoping they took it personally and raise there game tonight.

The DL needs to buck up and play lights out tonight.  The defense was slashed for 178 yards rushing in week 2 and gave up 188 last week.  They give up that many yards and it may not matter what the offense does

So, anyone else watching on unique device tonight because the game's on Prime? Our biggest tv is a 2009 plasma without all the smart tv bells and whistles, but it has a great picture and I'm cheap so I'm not springing to replace it for some time yet. So, on this tv, I stream Prime through my Xbox, as an example. Anyone else doing anything similar?

It has an HDMI port, right? Can use a Fire stick and watch Prime that way. They are pretty cheap, especially when you don't need 4K or anything. Got one for my daughter's play room. Piggy back Disney+ off of it.

Their best CB was ruled out (Marlon Humphrey). Gotta shave Chase down their throat like we did against the Cardinals some weeks ago.
