Don’t forget the 10 drunken brawls in the stands.

I’m still upset about that seven years later. Let’s not forget the Pissburgh coach who pulled Reggie Nelson’s dreadlocks on the sideline. I can still see the awesome pass AJ McCarron threw to AJ Green for the go ahead touchdown with 1:56 left in the game.

Anyway, it’s a new era and a new team in Cincinnati from top to bottom but the Ravens, like the Steelers, are thugs who take cheap shots.

I'm not worried about us winning the game

Zac has built a team so morally different from Marvin's teams that I do not see buffoonery costing these Bengals any games from just merely being baited.

Yet this game will be much more difficult than it appears on paper.

Still see Burrow keeping everybody on point and the Bengals pulling away before the final horn sounds.

and if it did, it is a coincidence, not the "same old Bungles" schtick.

After the Miami Buffalo game, nothing is a given.

That’s the truth! New York is giving Minnesota a good game so far as well. In my humble opinion the Bengals need to start fast and score early but it’s going to be up to Lou Anarumo and the defense to make Baltimore one dimensional on offense then shut it down. Last week the defense allowed the Ravens way too many conversions on third down; more three and outs will ice the game for Cincinnati.
