Oakland: Concerned?

Now the west coast factor is another story. But the Bengal's entire history in Oakland doesn't really have much to do with this team. It might mean more to the fans and the owner, but it should not affect the outcome of this game whatsoever.

I'm more worried about coming out flat in another big game. I know it's Oakland, but it's also the season opener. This is a HUGE game. If we somehow lay another egg in an important game, it will only prove what most intelligent Bengals fans already believe. Fire Marvin!

The sooner the better...

I disagree.  I think they should use it as motivation.  I saw "A Football Life" with Warren Sapp.  He said that they were in San Diego and he was getting dressed for breakfast when ESPN said the Bucs had never won on the west coast.  He said that he went to Brooks' room and they went to the team breakfast and announced "this s%#t stops today, we win today no matter what".  I think this team could benefit from some of that fire.  Go in there with a little chip on their shoulders.
