Another season of Steeler locker room Drama. Offensive lineman calling out Bell. Prognosticators starting to doubt Big Ben after 3 ints versus Browns.

Bengals predicted by many of these same Sports Media types to finish last in the Division. Reggie Bush said so very recently on the NFL Network. Most of the LOVE is going to the Ravens right now especially after their 47 to 3 Drubbing of the Bills.

Seems like the Popular move of many to Predict a Raven's win tonight.

The Off Season move to retain Marvin Lewis was met with Harsh criticism from the Stephen A Smith's of the world and many Prognosticators spent the offseason dismissing the Bengals & ignoring the Key upgrades made to the O-line, improved Health of certain players, Coaching changes etc.

The Time is Ripe for a STATEMENT to be made by the Bengals tonight. They have already been through a Nerve Testing game with the Colts, while the Ravens got to Coast at home against a weak Bills team with an unproven QB. Tonight will be the first Test of Nerves for the Ravens this season and this may offer an advantage to the Home team Bengals.

Bengal fans deserve an early season STATEMENT WIN by the Bengals and I think the players seem ready to pull it off.

RESPECT is on the line Nationally and the Bengals may just sneak up and Earn it tonight. 

So true. I would love not only a Bengals win but a convincing win - domination from start to finish. As long as it's not a case of Baltimore shooting themselves in the foot so these "experts" can't cover the asses by sayiing the "Ravens should've won" or whatever, then a win tonight will definitely make the statement that we are better than predicted and are vying for the division.
