Andre Smith tipped the valet at Carlo and Johnny $50 the last time he was there. Coincidence? I think not. Rep points to anyone who can produce additional evidence to support this theory.

I think the last time I heard a Bengal QB on sound FX it was Carson Palmer talking about how he was quitting and taking his ball and going home and all that other cowardly shit.  This is a nice change of pace.

Mike Brown throwing trash at Carson Palmer after the Bengals beat the Cardinals in SB 50 would be pretty sweet.















Andy Dalton HoF 20??

I'll just leave this video here:

Priscoe almost always has good things to say about the Bengals. This article is by a former agent.

So yeah, Seattle is 2-2 but we know that Seattle is generally a better team than that. To assume they are overrated is dumb, but they are obviously very flawed as anyone watching football would notice. Their OL is absolute garbage and their receiving corp is not reliable.

Now attacking Seattle's defense is quite difficult because they are loyal to the cover 3, believe in it, and have the best secondary in the league. Their LB corp led by Wagner is solid and their edge rush is good when they're on. So where does the team attack? That answer comes from Jeremy Hill and Marvin Jones. Obviously the offense will use varying formations and Seattle's CBs stay in their spots, so AJ isn't going to be locked on by Sherman. However, in base sets this would be the case. Now Cary Williams, the CB opposite Sherman, is not good. He's just not good. So there are a couple ways to attack this with big plays. As a note I didn't make this diagram but it's good to bring up.

This can be used the same way it was used vs the Ravens on AJ's 80 yard TD. Now the Ravens were play cover-1 man, but if you can have Eifert and AJ on the right side, where most of the attention would be drawn. Kam would most likely pick up on Eifert but the other side would be left to Cary Williams on Marvin Jones and Earl Thomas on Sanu, with the chance of him being drawn towards the Eifert/AJ side. Jones can beat Williams easily on that.

As for Jeremy Hill, Seattle's interior D is weak. If they attack Wagner and Kam, Seattle is light on powerful defenders. I would imagine they will stay with the double T-G pull to push our power running on them. So I think we can get most of our success there. Especially since, while Dalton has been crazy good this year, is bound to have a regression game. I don't mean he'll throw 3 ints and be awful, but he won't be the crazy good QB we've seen the past 4 weeks, especially playing against an elite secondary.

Onto our defense; we can beat them easily if the team stay disciplined. These corners can beat Seattle's WRs. If Iloka is healthy, he can survive against Graham and the team is actually relatively good against TEs, despite what the narrative is. I could see the team applying extra pressure often. Have the DL apply disciplined pressure to keep Wilson in the pocket. The ends stay on contain, Geno eats up the interior, and Peko plays back to read screens and mini-mirror RW. Any blitzers run free to do their thing. Hopefully, the team can (should) keep pressure with 4 men so they can keep a spy on RW. The Seahawks OL is hot garbage so Geno and Dunlap should eat.

Regardless of all those words, I still imagine the game won't pass 30 points and it's gonna be real close

btw I wanna thank Ryan for inspiring me with this on twitter

Since 2011 Marvin has only lost 5 games when leading at halftime, but has come back to win 9 games that he trailed at halftime.

Overall Marvin is 74-23-2 when winning at halftime. (.758 win %)

11-2 when tied at halftime (.846)

19-65 when losing at halftime (.226)

Week #5 NFL TV maps now up.

Just for fun searched NFL Power Rankings and flipped through each sites rankings...every sight I went to had us 3rd except one...ESPN...Go figure...The hatred towards the Bengals from that sight is amazing...They actually had us 5th behind Denver and a 1 loss Cardinals...

Well folks, Week 5 is upon us. Let's go around the league and take a look at other games of interest to us bengals fans and what would benefit us the most......

TNF.....Colts at Texans.......I'm thinking the Colts still win the AFCS so I'm gonna go Colts winning here would benefit us more. Anything can happen over the course of 16 games and IF (god forbid) IF the Bengals find themselves in the WC mix I'd rather teams like Houston have more losses....Colts get Luck back and take it on the road here 20-17

Bears at Chiefs....Chiefs get back home after 2 big losses to the Packers and our Bengals. Of course it would benefit us to see the bears win here but i doubt it'll happen in KC......KC wins 27-13

Bucs at Jags....Another NFC/AFC matchup so of course it makes sense to pull for the Bucs....I do think the Jags win this game at home though somehow..20-13

Browns at Ravens.....although we've beaten the Ravens once already, they need to be buried, so I'm hoping for a Cleveland win. I think Baltimore wins an ugly game though. Something like 13-10. But go Browns

Bills at Titans...again I look for the pats to of course win the AFCE so again (god forbid) we would end up in the WC mix, the Bills probably will be in that conversation at the end of the season so I think it benefits us for a Titans win........Titans in a shocker 23-17

Pats at Cowboys....Cowboys winning would be a huge upset here with no Romo, Dez and alot of players banged up. Plus possible potential seeding down the line, but I think the Pats roll here 45-17

Broncos at Raiders....I think the Broncos win the west so it may make sense for them to bury every other AFC team they play but I'd say it benefits us for the Raiders to pull this off for again potential seeding down the line......Raiders hand them their first loss 21-16

MNF Steelers at Chargers......Steelers need to go away forever. Seriously though I think we'd all love to cushion our lead in the North and I can't think of a time to pull for those schmucks.....Chargers 30 Steelers 14

And now to our game and potentially the game of the week. Tackling Russell Wilson when he faces the pressure of our front is gonna be HUGE!! Not sure on Lynch's status but I'm gonna guess he's gonna go so stopping him is gonna be big as well. On offense I'm hoping they work the whole field and not just to one side just because Sherman is over there. The D is legit so it should be a good test for Dalton and the gang......If the jungle is roaring and I expect it to with it being sold out,I think our D steps up in a big way and sacks Wilson 4+ times. It'll be a great day to be a Bengals fan....Bengals 27 Seahawks 20. WHO DEY!

Thoughts/Concerns from around the league on week 5??????
