ESPN is reporting that Hayden Hurst and La'el Collins who were both listed as questionable will be active for today's game

Time for a W

Bye bye Jackson Carman.

Healthy scratch and dropped even further down the depth chart.

I am by no means a football expert, but after pondering it for a week, I think taking a lead in the first half increases your chances of winning. Scoring on your first drive and not allowing them to seems like a good first step.

Jerome Boger as ref.

Officiating will be brutal today.

Is this Jets backup QB gonna carve up our defense like the last one?

Well, we know that Joe Flacco is going to have seen everything a defense can do by now, so don't bank on him getting confused.

Hopefully we get the Flacco we are used to - remember that we owned Flacco when he was with the Rats.

Flacco was 9-11 against Cincinnati in his Ravens career. That’s not really owning.

Need the defense to generate some sacks and turnovers and we need some semblance of consistency from this offense.

Big game imo. Bengals lose this, more Fall stuff and Xbox play on Sundays. So win or lose, still a win/win for me.

Who is this dumbass over-the-top lady that voice overs commercials for the NFL?

And we had a completely different staff.

Please win for me. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike White should be playing. We would either get revenge for last year (which didn’t end up mattering) or he gets cemented into Bengal lore for all time.

Yup but it’s pretty fair as far as spreading the ineptitude evenly.

I really hope this offense surprises us and Burrow gets the green light to go into Hurry-up mode.
